seriously if one team is better then the other it shouldn't loose a best of 3. And if it looses, the better team has won. 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.

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

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.
