Two things as public notice: 1. + Show Spoiler [Quarterfinals 1 spoiler] + 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~ -Neo, Sept 23rd, 3:20 PM PDT, page 120 | ||

That was quite a long time ago though. And I believe CLG.eu went on to do pretty damn well in the EU scene after that. NA teams aren't as terrible as people make them out to be. They're behind, yes, but they can potentially take games off of EU/KR/CN and have a chance to catch up. I'll be honest, I think Meteos is a very good jungler, but I don't think his playstyle is optimal for this meta. C9 gives Meteos way too much farm and while that is fine and helps Meteos dominate the NA scene, it just doesn't work out well when playing against more experienced teams. Maybe if carry junglers are super popular Meteos can translate his farm-heavy style into international success, but the current jungle meta just doesn't really support his playstyle. | ||

I just don't get why people are so focused on this game 3 thing. Fnatic did the exact same thing against Vulcun and lost horribly. Zuna beat them because of a bad level 1 - that's how much it puts you behind. | ||

Stronger lanes, and stronger map control with vision. This should be highlighted more. Hai and Balls can have glimpses of brilliance but they just aren't as good at lane phase as xPeke and soAZ. | ||

Leona dominates the matchup if she gets ahead regardless, and both Corki and Zyra are fairly mana intensive. It's a bad buy, but the loss was for other reasons. ??? Mana manipulator is the same cost as 4 wards, or 2 vision wards. Vision wins games, and most importantly can turn games around. The game wasn't won in lane, it was won when c9 got caught over and over and over because no vision. | ||

Okay, well... ugh... let's blame lvl 1 I guess, or something. The truth is, Fnatic was in charge of all the 3 draftings, but they were too cocky in the second one, they paid for it - and they deserved it, for udnerestimating C9. | ||

C9 definitely shoulda started using games as an opportunity to increase their champ pool like 3 weeks into the season :\ | ||
