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.

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.

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.


Did I miss something? How did Dexter rage quit? I frankly didn't notice anything drastically different from his play than I would have seen 2-4 weeks ago.



He wasn't as on point as he was during G1 but I would argue, across the board, except Aphro/DL, CLG got tilted bad.

bent over and made sad.

We saw more bo5's in s2 with small tourneys run by 3rd party organisations.

SC2 games are also much shorter and you have to factor in time considerations. I don't understand why you're so salty about a Bo3 format in the Semis.

because bo3 fucking blows, i can't believe you of all people are okay with 1 day bo3 semifinal prep.

Tournaments held over the span of a weekend are fine to have Bo3 semis due to time considerations. Is it okay to have a Bo5 semis with 1 day prep?

That is not how it works. Being the better team means you have a better chance of winning. This chance is never 100%. Obviously the bigger the number of games in a series, the higher is the probability that the team which has the higher chance of winning actually wins. Do some betting, and you will see the truth of this.


And since logic has appeared, we can all shut up and get hyped for C9 demonstrate competitive League of Legends to some special needs children.

Of course it wasn't, but this is a "tournament" style playoffs being run over the course of 3 days. Of course you'll have 1 day to prep, regardless of Bo3 or Bo5. Why are you so fucking insistent and salty about CLG not getting 5 games to show how mentally weak of a team they are?

Afaik he's their analyst, the only other guy on roster is dan dinh and I don't think he's actually that involved with the coaching process. Besides it feels like lemonation is pretty much the team's playing coach.

I think there should have been 1 week of prep between each round. If there was no pax, could have just as easily done 1 week prep for quarter, 1 week prep for semi, and 1 week prep for final, it would have only been 1 week difference between how they have it set up right now.

No one would watch the tournament if they did that lol. There's so much more viewership hype for a 3 day tournament than one where games are spread out over weeks.

So you can just watch OGN where there's groups and then a month long playoffs?

LCS is there because the short series are entertaining for people who otherwise probably wouldn't watch ESPORTS.

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.


Did I miss something? How did Dexter rage quit? I frankly didn't notice anything drastically different from his play than I would have seen 2-4 weeks ago.



He wasn't as on point as he was during G1 but I would argue, across the board, except Aphro/DL, CLG got tilted bad.

bent over and made sad.

We saw more bo5's in s2 with small tourneys run by 3rd party organisations.

SC2 games are also much shorter and you have to factor in time considerations. I don't understand why you're so salty about a Bo3 format in the Semis.

because bo3 fucking blows, i can't believe you of all people are okay with 1 day bo3 semifinal prep.

Tournaments held over the span of a weekend are fine to have Bo3 semis due to time considerations. Is it okay to have a Bo5 semis with 1 day prep?

I think there should have been 1 week of prep between each round. If there was no pax, could have just as easily done 1 week prep for quarter, 1 week prep for semi, and 1 week prep for final, it would have only been 1 week difference between how they have it set up right now.

Wei2formatman, SC2 is not League of Legends.

It's much different with 5 people on the team.

you probably thought world's format was good too right?

Of course it wasn't, but this is a "tournament" style playoffs being run over the course of 3 days. Of course you'll have 1 day to prep, regardless of Bo3 or Bo5. Why are you so fucking insistent and salty about CLG not getting 5 games to show how mentally weak of a team they are?

I criticized format way before today, it was stupid this playoff was played on 4.5, and bo3. hell i said that back before eu lcs started.


So you can just watch OGN where there's groups and then a month long playoffs?

LCS is there because the short series are entertaining for people who otherwise probably wouldn't watch ESPORTS.

oh i understand why riot does it, doesn't mean i like it.

also, curse's late game looks really crappy in this comp

The SuperBowl is a single Bo1 guys, that's a terrible format and it should be a Bo5 instead.

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.

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.

Just don't watch live and watch the vods one week apart but make sure not to come into anywhere there may be spoilers for the series. There, at least the time spacing problem is solved then.

Is Riv not around for commentating? Phreak and Kobe both have a really dominating, talk-over-your-partner style and keep clashing. Rivington/Kobe have gotten a pretty good flow together these days.
Only the weak link is strong enough to break the chain.
