I don't know its just hard to wrap my head around that the supposed 2nd best team in the world would get owned that hard, and waiting til the most important matches of the tourney for them to bust out galio and varus. I didn' t actually watch them, I got on late and wasn't expecting it to be over already, so I guess Ill have to wait til rebroadcast. For people who watched, did it seem like they were actually trying or just trolling?
Earl Eulrich3 votesYou´re talking about an organisation that would have had 2secure spots for worlds if SSW would have beaten SSB in the semifinals of OGN-summer, and yet SSB won that series with a lot of incredible comebacks, forcing SSW to go into the Tiebreaker to qualify for worlds.
I think it´s very save to assume both teams played their best today, but SSW just finally overcame their Demon (it´s really not the first time they stomp Blue early on in games, they just hadn´t been able to close out their leads during the OGN-Season).
Imperial Red1 votesThat was far from SSB's best. They've performed far better than that. I'm not on the conspiracy train. Just saying their brains were off on this one, and I wouldn't be surprised if there were new names placed in top and support next time Blue takes the stage.
Earl Eulrich1 votesoh well, SSB has always had a weak early game - while SSW always had been a brutally strong team early-midgame. It really has been the expected outcome, ever since SSW showed up in the TieBreakers vs SKT and just showed that they finally learned to close out their early leads reliably. Even back in the Semifinals in Summer SSW managed to get a 8k+ lead at min 20 vs SSB...they just hadn´t been able to close it out back then.
Also, you have to take the Korean mentality into account...not a single player would ever want to go out like that on purpose.
yoloswag420money2 votesThere's supposedly a new ruling coming out where Korea can no longer have sister teams. Is anyone naive enough to believe that Blue throwing the series around the same time is a coincidence?
Lordxx1 votestheir both samsung teams , i think it was staged.
VeryBadAtLeague1 votesthats what I was thinking, like maybe samsung thinks white is the team that has a better chance to win, so they force blue to lose on purpose. On the other hand though white did own TSM almost as badly, but blue is supposedly a lot better then TSM and even then TSM didn't lose as badly. I really want to believe that white just played so well, and yea its league where a blowout can happen any game even against the best teams, but 3 in a row is just a little but suspicious, a long with the odd picks.
edit- but if they would, you would think they would try to make it a little more believable
double edit - now I just reread that I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic lol. It really doesn't seem like that big of a stretch though, but maybe I'm just dumb
Junkο1 votesMejai on 0/7 TF, nope did not lose on purpose
