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 |

I don't actually think c9 going to beat fnatic. But it'll be fun to see lr thread when they do
You see, as much as I am a EU fanboy, I recognize if a good match is coming up and I expect it to be fairly close.
It's just funny that some people call a stomp from C9 with ridiculous reasons like "fnatics loss to vulcun" straight up ignoring things like the drafting and Lvl1 that game xD (in this case it's even funnier because vulcun was the only team c9 didn't have a positive record against)
The same goes for fnatic fans who don't recognize how good c9 are.

Well i think c9 is the best NA team by far, but fnatic is better, thats the point 
They have way more experience and are a worldclassteam for such a long time now, theyre just really really good.
All c9 did (till this point in time) is winning the na-lcs which is overall pretty "unskilled" in comparison.
If c9 wins today, i can see them winning it all, but the more realistic prediction is fnatic winning it.

is it just me or am I seeing Cyanide playing Trundle?:D
Judging from from champion portrait bottom left of his screen I thought it looks like trundle but it's probably not but who knows maybe fnatic unleashes the troll :D

International experience only matters when the metas are vastly different. So stuff like NA vs CN, or NA vs KR, is when ability to adapt + ability to cope with different metas matter. NA vs EU meta isn't too vastly different for it to be a significant importance of "international experience"
C9 probably not as ez opponent against fnatic. The lane matchups aren't too overwhelmingly in fnatics favor, there's no lanes where they'll just purely stomp, aside from maybe xpeke vs hai, but considering the roaming from both mids, I doubt we'll see that lane even played out past level 6. Which leads to the very strong rotation/midgame of C9.

if you zoom i a bit I think it looks a bit like the trundle icon but I'm not sure.

@wei2 always remember that EU Meta is sooo far behind and their championpicks like aatrox and Lissandra are shit, too. :D

No it matters when u think about the mental state. fnatic played on big stages so often, against hard opponents like one million times by now. c9 just didnt, they will probbly get nervous and dont play their full potential.
i mean i can understand that the na people here wanna cheer for c9, but they are the underdog here. Can there be an upset? ofc , c9 is pretty good, but i just dont see it happening against fnatic, gambit would have been the better draw here.

Please remember to ban me if C9 win
I can't see C9 winning at all, I mean they are good but you look at xPeke/Soaz and compare that to Hai/Balls and it isn't close man.

We're blowing smoke here, guys. Lets be realistic, we all predicted Ozone would get through, but in the end it was proven that we really don't know that much. Lets just enjoy the matches and be surprised.

I think people don't value TSM experience as FNC or GMB for that matter.

lmao Gahlo trying soooo hard in the reddit trashtalk thread haha, prob even changed his tsm flair to c9 only for today xDD
I've been awake for close to 22 hours no. I didn't have much of anything to do at 4am when the europeans tried to make a sneak attack. Also, I need to get my share of jawing in since I have class tonight and, hopefully my teacher stops being a dick, will miss all of the fun.
As for the flair, I've had KTB as my flair since it was made available for champ summer. During groups trashtalk I kept weeping over my bullets. However, Faker playing Riven at worlds have given SKT a reprieve on my hate, so now I'm rolling with the flair of who I root for.

TSM in lan is another beast. Pretty sure summer split playoffs is like the only NA LAN they've lost since beginning of Season 2.
