Na, they're fine imo. Personally I'd rate them as favourites against fnatic currently and 50/50 against Alliance. The thing is how you define international success. For me it's at least finals or actually winning the tournament, which I don't ever see a western team doing anymore unless there's only 1 korean team attending or brackets are rigged so they can't both reach the finals.

I'd be positively surprised though if C9, Alliance and the others can put up a fight at worlds and maybe even knock out a korean team (without a massive choke like S3 Dade) but the odds are extremely low imo.

Dont really understand why Jatt hypes up C9's early game here so much.

Also I do not think of Alistar as someone that has to win lane.

if c9 even gets 1 win against any of the korean powerhouses this tourny I'd consider that a huge success.
right now if they came out as the best 'western' team I'd be pretty happy too (beating fnatic, alliance, etc.)

That is pretty much how I see it as well (except I would root for ther EU teams ).

I would have more hope in Alliance. Froggen at least is world class player on the role with most impact.

I think TSM would do much better if they had faith in each others skillshots, Dyrus couldve easily comboed lulu after bjergsen stunned her.

Meteos has all the kills, looking pretty good. Regi+Loco preptalk doing work <3
Americans don't like to use unblockables, it is considered not honest. You press a button at the wrong time and hit the other person, you are random, not a top player. You DP Sim's far fierce, it is random and not honest.

Amazing double jungled and then helped push a ton of turrets. Meteos played like Meteos.

One jungler pushes as 4 constantly the other farms jungle and gets kills. No real shock that the latter is going to outlevel the former.
