Wow, this is a really nice line up of teams. I think we have the makings of some great games.

Pool of teams this season seems much stronger. Look forward to some exciting games.
Group B seems super close. I'd say all of the teams are good enough to have a shot at qualifying, though I'd call TPA and Royal the favorites.

Wow really good group of teams.
What is Orb's LoL experience like?

He's been playing since pretty much forever. I'll ask him when exactly (I know he has about 400 ranked games from Season 1 in his profile) but I know he has several thousand games logged and takes it in a very competitive sense, so I think he will do fine  !

that lineup is so stacked, dang.

Yango so biased haha. But seriously, Group B is going to be tough for anyone to advance.
Have not seen Royal since the TGA. I'm SO looking forward so seeing MikakoTabe and Uzi!
Oh, btw, will there be VoDs?

Yes there will be, also I will be running lots of rebroadcasts after.

I'm confused, is ESL Asia streaming live and ESV rebroadcasting for NA times?

Hesitant to call Royal favorites, Yango blinded by fanboyism imo~

Oh I definitely am, no question.
Logically speaking, I should reserve judgment until after G-League semis next week.

OMG those teams... How am I supposed to study ?!

Man, the first day has some amazing matchups. First time TPS plays too.

Not sure what ESL Asia is doing, I will find out and let you know.

iG and T1 two of my 3 favorite teams this should be sick.

I'm really glad that I'll have something good to watch after Champions Winter ends. I was afraid I was going to have to rot my brain on NA/EU Season Three.

AFAIK ESL Asia's english casters are also covering this event, I'll PM you with my Skype details Diamond.
Seems like you guys are handling the NA re-broadcast which is great because the timezone doesn't work well for a lot of NA sadly.
