EPT[S3 Worlds] Quarterfinals - Page 204
| Forum Index > LoL Tournaments |
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 | ||

Well yes. Scrim reports usually can't be backed up with match history with the common practice of leaving during the game to prevent it from showing up. Though also, Scrims can't tell performance on the world stage, given how often TSM brags about doing well in scrims. <__<; TBH, I expect Fnatic to be a top contender. Either SKT1, Fnatic, or the Chinese teams are currently the only ones whom seem strong enough to win the finals. Have yet to see Royal though, and Gama Bears with their op logo could end up 4-0ing the Koreans. | ||

Anyone remember the GOM TV bo5 Jaedong vs Bisu showmatch about 5-6 years ago where it was 2-2 and we had just seen some of the most epic PvZ ever...... then in the 5th game Bisu doesn't hold-position his probe allowing 6 lings into his base and loses. Yeah. So anticlimatic Rooting for Fnatic to take it all now | ||

I think Fnatic is just a better team regardless, but when things like Corki/XX become a thing, utility botlanes are harder to pull off, and of course Hai's champ pool basically consists of common bans. Also, inferior competition (or champ pool restriciton) seems to have hampered their development, because the Nocturne picks for Meteos never made sense. | ||

There were match histories posted for 2 of them the day people discovered the worlds 'smurfs.' Neither game looked close at all. Now compound that with the fact that xPeke may not be completely forward about the scrims, and the additional fact that #scrimsdontmeanshit, and it doesn't really matter what the fuck he said about them(or anyone else). | ||

Ugh. | ||

fnatic making the final would be great too, as it has so many storylines (season 1 champions, western team, general exciting playstyle) | ||

No offense to Xpeke but his assassin play is a million times better then his Ori play. Also seems weird that they feared Cyanide's Aatrox so much. I guess they were just too worried about early tower dives? Because jungle Aatrox end game if he doesn't get fed isn't very strong at all imo. I thought banning C9 Ori was so they could simultaneously dive in without being punished although FNC getting Zyra was a good enough alternative still C9 probably out mind gamed themselves banning Ori instead of something more FNC specific | ||

Group B was more of a toss-up, but Fnatic played ridiculously well. Gambit also played very well and Ozone, despite a disappointing showing are probably still better than NA teams, including C9. Group B would have been a lot more interesting with C9 in it. Even if they didn't make it out of the group they would have played the role of spoiler. | ||

I kind of wish that Royal Club could reach the finals so I can witness the rematch between PraY and Uzi. I'm running out of heroes to worship, and I hope Uzi doesn't disappoint. When did PraY and Uzi play before? At All-Stars, it was Weixiao. NJBS wasn't nearly as good as I expected them to be. I wouldn't favour them over Royal or OMG based on this series. However, Expession hasn't shown much of his potential yet. | ||

I wouldn't take stock in scrims between teams in worlds. Everyone is going to hide their real strength. Imo scrims between worlds teams and non worlds teams is a better measure. That's why I find the njs vs ig scrim rumors to be huge, especially since it's ig hyping up njs. | ||
