Yeah, this doesn't mean that C9 is definitively better than Fnatic. They just came to play today and the current meta doesn't favor sOAZ. A lot of factors involved. I mean C9's duo lane get wrecked in lane, they just didn't feed enough to be a liability, | ||

Unless Cog surprises us all by being clutch again, but then again 6-20 NACL record too stronk for me to be[le]ive too hard. Crs's team just strikes me as all sorts of meh outside of Quas top. Vooby mid, Cop/Zekent bot, and IWD (was never impressive when he was on Dig :\ ). We'll see.

Fantastic bruisers, that will make the difference in late game teamfights. | ||

Vooby mid is meh, and losing Edward might pose a huge loss for Curse. | ||

I hope next time they make an actual bracket cause the power rankings change too much between the Summer Split and December to match them up like this Arbitrary system is arbitrary. It's a showmatch, plain and simple. If anything, the fact that everyone is so riled up about something like BotA says a lot. The real winner is obv Riot. There's going to be a lot of hype going into 2014 and the LCS Spring Split. | ||

A lot of factors involved. I mean C9's duo lane get wrecked in lane, they just didn't feed enough to be a liability, To be fair though, "the current meta" isn't a very good excuse. If you want to talk about who's better at a game, then you have to take the meta into account. Adapting to the meta is a large part of what makes a good team a good team. Saying "we're better at the game, you only won because we were playing the wrong game" is kinda dumb. At the end of the day what matters in competition is who brought the best play on the current day on the current patch, and today C9 was better then Fnatic. | ||

Though i agree he played poorly i found Cyanide playing even worse, and Xpeke aswell. Why is there so much focus on sOAZ ? | ||

I guess gambit vs c9 fnatic vs tsm atn vs XDG lemondogs vs dig I'd make it like this: Round 1: DIG vs ATN - 4th vs 5th [A] vs CLG - 4th vs 5th Quarterfinals: Fnatic vs DIG/ATN - 1st vs 4th/5th TSM vs Gambit - 2nd vs 3rd LD vs XDG - 2nd vs 3rd C9 vs [A]/CLG - 1st vs 4th/5th etc | ||

There should really be more intercontinental play though... Just look at the hype, this needs to happen more than twice a year. | ||
