Congrats to Fnatic, they played superbly and glgl to them in the Semis! No one is saying that Fnatic only won because of the level 1 in Game 3. Please keep the nationalistic statements out of our subforum.
2. Riot's Worlds format is atrocious. Let's not beat a dead horse here. I will certainly be talking to Riot's eSports dept about it in the near future.
I simply ask everyone to be civil. Humble in victory, graceful in defeat. Enjoy the games~

Yep, but anyone who thinks they'd have a chance - after witnessing these 3 games - in a BoX, is delusional.
How do you figure? The first game was quite close, the second game they won, and the third was lost to lvl double kill. I guess I'll go sit in my delusional little corner you awesome european, you.
Volband just hates on stuff in every single post, I wouldn't take him too seriously.
I do, but I'm occasionally right, like now.
The third game had barely anything to do with the early double kills, so pls. The second game Fnatic was waaaay too confident, that would not happen twice in a longer BoX. So yeah, no way in hell C9 could've taken this, unless it was a BO1.
Before the games, I wouldn't have said this, but as I said, these games were clear as water.

These games showed Fnatic is better than C9. How would Royal/OMG vs C9 be anything more than pure stompage if the CN teams would manhandle Fnatic?
well
transitive property is really really shitty but you can still draw some predictions

C9 WON A PLAYOFF GAME
USA USA USA
proud day for NA LoL
And for Riot's e-sports department. We could see not two, but THREE games of the team that crushed the NA LCS. Don't worry, on the other hand NA fans could see 2 TSM vs GGEU and 2 Vulcun vs Mineski games, so it's ok.
I sure enjoy the fact that C9 got to play a grand total of 3 games and we had to sit through 8 games of Mineski's atrocity.
I was told that cloud9 was the best team in NA. After watching this series with fnatic, it seems NA is in deep trouble in terms of talent and skill compared to europe and asia.
Maybe, NA team should travel to korea and train? Seems like it helps with sc2 players like scarlett and naniwa.

Or let xPeke get Kassadin 2 times?
Even if you barely follow the pro scene you should know not to let him have that.
I think the first point is better than the second one. Letting him have Kassadin is dangerous, but the fact that lemonnation was stingy on his warding/ buying wards against one of the teams that uses brush tricks like that is just plain bad.

After a three game set it does nothing of the sort. Both teams are pretty good if you ask me.

it's more like if mvp 2rax'd husky and husky lost a bunch of drones early on...

Game 3 doesn't mean much though since that double kill at lvl 1 was so brutal.
