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~

I don't disagree with that, but the original point was that he said SKT was a bad draw for Bears, but tbh no one seeded want to pull SKT or OMG out of the 4 coming out of groups. Whether or not SKT is favorite against Royal or not, they would have much preferred gambit or fnatic.

Bears don't really play 'slow' and drawn out compared to Taiwan, but they average like 37 minute games. I think they're best compared to Lemondogs. China and Korea both average around 30 minutes. All the games so far, even between the best teams of the group, have been around 28-32 minute range. I don't think it's going to work, or their counter-punching/passive style will really work against the Koreans, Chinese or the high tempo Fnatic.

OMG, SKT, and Fnatic would have all been terrible match-ups for the Bears.

I think SKT is a bad matchup for anyone tbh.


Royal in a Bo3 would have been extremely dangerous for SKT. Seeing as it takes them usually one game to adapt to a team that does something crazy or new to them, Royal really could have SKT off guard with their level 1 strategies. While Faker would probably dwarf White in lane, Uzi and Tabe would be to hold their own or even beat Piglet and Pooh depending on how well SKT's research and prep was.

Drawing OMG really takes away a lot of Royal's power. They would have been scary for Gambit, Fnatic or SKT, but OMG know how they play and should be ready for them.

White is really scary... I don't think he was that far beyond Cool whatsoever and he outperformed cool in the finals. His fizz is also the best in the world right now. Alex also said that when they scrimmed against Royal he would never do poorly and he was always a huge threat.

Their jungler is no where near as good as lovelin though imo, but Uzi is a fucking beast. Never see that guy do poorly and he always carries his team.

Figures my classes line up so I'd be cut off from watching all of C9 v Fnatic live and be stuck in class all through GMB v Sword. On the plus side, Tuesday is completely free for me so I can get all the junk food I want on the way home and pull and all nighter.

Really looking forward to Sword vs Gambit. The Blade in the Dark vs The Korean Kryptonite.

Avoiding TL all day in boring ass class is going to suck bigfatjiji.

SKT>Bears
Gambit>Sword
OMG>Royal
C9>Fnatic

so did OMG throw the regional final or not? even if you discount all the warm up games they got in group stages, from a brand exposure and and sponsor standpoint i doubt anyone on the business end of OMG would have wanted to swap seeds with royal.

Mmmn.

It's a shame that for all the chatter during LCS regarding how Cloud 9 would match up with actual Koreans, it's quite likely they'll leave worlds without having faced any.

I've been disappointed too many times with teams and players from NA both in SC2 and LoL.

I just expect it now lol

C9 will need some kind of miracle to beat Fnatic

In case people didn't see in the first post, or just skim the post. Remember there are some small random extras that other people are running for fun alongside the worlds:

"Who Ya Got" - Bracket Stage Predictions

I don't think there's going to be many people who did well/ actually earned points in the "Who Ya Got" Group stage, so you might actually earn more points for the bracket stage of it. lol that Samsung Ozone gg. Bracket Stage predictions start on page 5.

Really hoping that the seeded teams put up a good fight and don't get rolled up by the teams that qualified from groups.

Royal will always put their duo lane to mid.
The most unacceptable for Chinese fans is Uzi hasn't got a chance to show he is the best adc in the world. Besides, this is the last tournament for Tabe and White, and this stupid format may let them play two LPL matches and go home.
I really hope some NA teams can pick White up, he is clearly better than most/all mid in NA He will stay in California since his girlfriend is studying in UCSB.

I think it's a stretch to say OMG threw at this point. Royal is a pretty strong team and even though they weren't as dominant as OMG during the season they were getting better and gave OMG some trouble. I can't see OMG being such a cocky team that they'd expect to make it out of group stages easily, and there's the fact that they'd hurt their image by losing to Royal in the finals. I really can't see a legitimate team with any pride whatsoever doing that to themselves.
