Morning all. Just caught the end of the Nestea v Taeja game. Any comment on the other games?

Also, I don't get the format. Why are we going into another bo9 if Taeja wins?

Oh, and, what is it with these long ad breaks?

Well, you missed the first Taeja-Nestea game; Nestea went for a huge baneling bust, did some damage but didn't outright win, there was some back and forth, and then ... Nestea's computer dies. Nestea is up on supply when this happens, but Taeja was up on upgrades and Nestea's infestors were out of energy.

Earlier there've been all sorts of stream problems and giant huge ad breaks.

So I just got here and I have to ask, why does the playing set up and production look like it was done by high-schoolers?

If Taeja all kills, how likely is it that he will start as first player to keep the momentum going or will they rest him?

For the 893280238425th time, because Liquid is coming from the Lower Bracket (it's a Double Elimination tournament and IM has not lost any series yet), they have to win against IM in the first series to reset it to a final Bo9 in the Grand Final.

I hate this format for that exact reason, the punishment from coming from the Loser's Bracket should be an additional Ace Match or just playing more matches to get to the finals, imho. This could negate all the hard work and potential all-kill of Taeja.

It seems fine to me. In a double elim tournament you should be out when you've lost 2 series. I hate when tournaments run double elim brackets and then change it for the final.

Would anyone on TL really want to face someone who just slayed a god?

you cheese the god so you don't have to fight him where he is strongest, and you hopefully catch him off guard.

He's starting to burn them up because he has so much APM (insert corny "he's on fire joke?)

Seriously: I saw that too. Hopefully he's fine.

The TAC3 finals are on the side-stage during a LoL tournament.
