Considering the trend of this series all we would have seen was a 15-20 minute win for TSM in Game 4.

People keep saying this. But without a best of five. This is just baseless claims. There are plenty of times where players turn around a bad situation into great plays later on in the series. Bo3 doesn't get a chance to show mental fortitude.


I think CLG showed their (lack of) mental fortitude quite well in that series.

You can't be surprised Riot doesn't have "optimal" tournament structures for ensuring the most stable competitive scene, after what they do with patches and S3 World Groups


Cause blind pick is no more variance ? False logic here.

I dont mind watching Tsm not stomp another game or watching a 3-0 instead of a 2-0 stomp from C9.

You think CLG has mental fortitude after seeing the choke job by Dexter and Nien in game 3?

doesn't matter what i think, but not giving a chance to prove it, is shitty format.

also, soulkey vs innovation, dats all i gotta say.
give teams a chance, bo3 is shitty format, if you think otherwise you should be hired by riot.

The Bo5 is definitely more stable than a Bo3 ... and blind pick 5th game is to ensure no advantages from pick/ban phase. If you've watched OGN, if anything the blind pick is more stale because you ended up with olaf vs olaf and shen vs shen.

In a blind pick, what kinda comp would we see as of this patch? I would probably say Jax, Soraka, Lucian, Khazix/Nocturne and Lulu would be my guess.

If game 3 had been close, I would give you the benefit of the doubt. Let's be honest, stop bitching about the format and accept the fact that CLG crumbled under pressure and tilted super hard after their game 2 loss. After the demolition that was game 3, they would have been stomped in game 4 with the way Dexter was playing. That guy basically ragequit on his team after game 2 and pulled a Forgiven.

wouldn't see jax, cuz renekton is free, and just get wards on support to read the lanes correctly.

Also giving 1 day of prep for semifinals is shitty too. spend 11 weeks building hype, and then 2 weeks prep for quarter finals, but only 1 day prep for semi? and 1 for final? lol. fucking silly.
