Reddit is in an uproar because:

http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/354g4g/people_expect_it_to_come_down_to_edg_vs_skt_but/

KESPA official says TSM > EDG for sure, while SKT lost both scrims vs. Fnatic and TSM.

But on the other hand, KESPA teams aren't above hiding their hand till the last minute.

I remember them doing that one year vs. the Chinese, where they were using troll picks to win during the group stages because they wanted to avoid scouting.

Day 3 of EDG diary (Chinese ver.) is out. Intensive scrims against SKT, and it was remarked that TSM is the top form team during the last couple of days.

I'm not even a TSM fan. Just sayin'. It's just entertaining to watch fans get upset at a NA team doing well.

I mean, it's not like that was Azarkon's article. Lots of people have been saying the same. Unfortunately a shit ton of excuses are prepared for the Korean and Chinese teams.

I for one was not upset at all during IEM. I'm just picking on you because you have been bashing China from Dota 2 to LOL, for years now, and disappear every time when the results slap you in the face.

And you obviously can't read Korean. They did not say TSM > EDG in the article.

I don't disappear when the results don't favor me. But in this case, I don't even have stakes. I'm not that big of a LoL fan. I do enjoy watching the drama in this scene though. It's the best quality of LoL.

Don't you already have a banbet? How many different banbets are people allowed to take?

Oh wow, the hype train is starting to take more steam. There's also a reddit comment that says Fnatic won a scrim against SKT too, so either this tournament will be the end of KR dominance or we should take the news with a pinch of salt. Annoyed that there's no proper translation out, only a summary, and that doesn't say much.

This tournament would be absolutely epic if there were a ton of surprise wins and upsets.In fact, I have this sudden urge to bet on Fnatic for every game T_T

I bet the crowd is going to suck compared to Paris. If TSM don't win this time with all the hype they have, I doubt they'll ever win an event like Worlds/MSI so I guess this is their chance.

Although I wonder how premature judging based on a few jetlagged scrims is.

At this point I would consider a 3rd place TSM finish a HIGHLY disappointing result. Thing is, that's a disappointing result for EDG and SKT as well. I think placing less than 1st for EDG/SKT would have its fair share of drama. Both Chinese and Korean fans had a lot of faith in their teams, especially the Chinese given the results at IEM and the huge sums of money invested to try and improve their league. SKT not placing first would certainly mean Korea has fallen off quite a bit. All these teams were dominant in their region. There is no "if only X were here". There is no plan B and I'd imagine summer split is going to look the same.

We agree that this tsm is stronger then worlds right? I mean world tsm beat everyone in scrim except for ssw. Tsm arent going to lose vs skt s+ bengi. They arent going lose vs chokelove and mini-blue.



Replace 'c9' with western team of choice and I swear I've seen this be written last worlds. ._.
CN is sloppy? Hah, like NA isn't and we all saw how C9 struggled in the regular season no? Sure roster changes can work miracles and C9 of now isn't the C9 during the regular split, but I'm pretty sick of the same rhetoric being repeated blindly year after year.

Also: CN may be sloppy, but EDG is not.



At this point I can't tell who's trolling, who's exaggerating and who's serious anymore. =/

Banbets, people trying to blame jetlag even before the games started, believing scrims have any actual value... It sure is an international competition in E-sports.

The inevitable *X team choked* will come and I sure as hell hope its not SKT thats all I can say

Lol choking. Are these teams shitters like CLG? FNC, EDG and SKT survived high pressure bo5s and TSM has the most tournament experience of any team here.
