Going 2-2 in close games against TL is no shame and beastyqt didn't even play. Yes, TL was better in the end, but I didn't see anything indicating that you're right today. | ||

Meaning I don't see why so many people would expect for Empire to take down both Zenio and Hero so easily. I am moreso referring to all the posts claiming Empire 3-0, as that is just pure ignorance. Some of the players on Empire are definitely good enough to take down Hero and Zenio in a BO1 but people like the one guy claiming that Hero hasn't proven that he could take down Kas in a BO3 is just beyond ridiculous. | ||

I think you're talking about me. I wasn't very clear on what I was trying to say before; hero can definitely beat Kas(might even be a favorite), but I think Kas is more than capable of beating hero as well. | ||

Nah, it's not pure ignorance at all, there was a possibility, and it's not even that small that Kas would beat HerO. Look at the other results and it's a quick 3-0 for Empire. As I said in my post before the game: It's really close though, realistically, anything could happen, from a 3-0 for Empire to a 3-0 for Liquid. Predicting a 3-0 for Empire is a valid opinion and it could easily have happened. | ||

Nobody should ever undersell Empire, I think they're a fantastic team and I enjoyed making fun of Happy with them at Dreamhack a ton. Same with RoX.KIS last week, btw. Both are great squads with a good future ahead, imo. | ||

It seems like Liquid was the one being sold short here, atleast by the people that initially voted/posted. But I still think way too many foreign fans overhype foreign players. Like the poll for the IPL BO9 between Hero and Thorzain should not be that close I think, and at one point before the match Thorzain was actually leading in the poll. It is just kind of silly at this point I think. | ||
