OMG are princes of the art of choke (Sorry, no one will ever outchoke AHQ) but C9 is a legit team on the international stage I don't think it's too unreasonable that C9 are stronger.

one team does not a league make.

SEA was indeed a stomp. We can discuss OMG vs C9 tomorrow in the Bo3. Again, I think while it's obvious C9 played well and OMG made various crucial mistakes, one cannot take away the very obvious sandbagging that OMG did since they know they're playing C9 in the semis. The only question now is whether OMG decides to keep sandbagging thinking they can take C9 without playing like they normally do and whether they decide to choke. Please describe how it was obvious? I didn't see anything too out of the ordinary, both sides made mistakes. FNC strategy going to shit is a hallmark of FNC.
I'm going to assume you don't watch LPL (I don't watch that much either, but anyway):
Pomelo played Lee Sin. Most people watching LPL in any capacity knows that for the most part Chinese Lee Sins are fucking god awful and Pomelo is no exception. OMG has barely lost any games in LPL and even in games they've stomped Pomelo's Lee Sin has been a non-factor. Why he would bring this out now is a question that can only really be answered with Pomelo probably did not want to hint at any potential junglers he'd run at C9 in the semis.
The rest of the draft is also similar. San will most likely not (and would usually not...I think) be playing Jinx against C9 when they actually play in the semis, firstly considering the meta and second because it's Jinx. San has also rarely chosen Jinx in the Spring 2014 LPL, nor has GoGoing really picked Trundle until recently in the Spring 2014 LPL, nor have they really picked Leona.
The way they did not lane swap, and their macro strategy was also very unconventional from OMG's usual line of play.
There's no doubting that C9 played well and OMG played bad, but people who usually see OMG can recognize this usually isn't their style.

So already decided if C9 win it is only becasue OMG choke and not because they are actually better. 
lol, okay

I enjoyed both TPA and Fnatic vs SKT so I don't care who wins this (though 0-4 EU the dream would be great just to see the salt)

nice response from fnatic, was pretty obvious that the kill on cyanide wasn't such a big deal though, got xp from blue is what matters and forced tp, flash and thresh exhaust.

The hell ... decision making???
|
Yellowstar escaped with using E.
|
wtf achie did something right
|
Gotta waste that flash on a certain death. Man, TPA has looked so bad this entire tourney.
