Svenskeren throwing the series?

HugoStiglítz··6 votes·2,367 views

I am struggling to understand how a Xin player makes that mistake. I feel like I'm watching a boxer throw a fight right now; that just doesn't happen on accident by a professional that understands the champion and has countless games with him. It's a mistake a jungler would make in his first ranked game. Not only that but he is from EU..

He saw the LB and the Lee coming on a ward, so if he turned back, the he dies and gives over the assist gold. It was a calculated loss.

Take a look at the map. Fnatic players were closing in; Sven was dead regardless, no matter what he did.

He tried to trade 1v1; that was the best he could've hoped for, since there was no way he could escape from lee+LB.

It didn't work and he looked incredibly foolish; however, the mistake wasnt the dive itself, it was the setup that left c9 overextended on top lane with no path of retreat.

Game 1. I'll let tunnel vision minded moves slide this early. If Game 2 doesn't look any better then the series can be pretty written up

Isn't this the furthest Svenskeren has got in worlds? I just considered that, so maybe it's understandable; but he is a professional and he plays this game so much I don't know how he could make a mistake of that degree, especially considering how well he has been performing.

There's ways the rest of this series can go:

  1. They innovate themselves into a coma similar to their outcome vs TL

  2. They play exactly like KT and G2 and run themselves to their own deficits

  3. Reapered belt.

Seeing the game 2 draft, it genuinely comes down to execution and control.

No, he just went full NA.

Never go full NA Kiss.

For real though I was thinking that is such an NA move, but in reality it's more like an NA bronze move.

Fnatic made Cloud9 look like B6 players...Not a typo..But yeah. How can a pro do that? That is something my no skill ass would do! Ridiculous. That shouldnt come from a pro!

Nevermind about "Sneaky in Lane".... "Svenskeren trying to gank" with the worse dive in worlds history!!!

My heart sank when i saw that happen. I really have no inkling as to how. Why. If i HAD to pick a reason its just gotta be nerves. there was just no reason.... even I would have known better than to do something like that.

Imo it's just nerves, C9 as a whole is not only once again the last NA hope but they are also the further they've ever been and ppl were already talking of them winning worlds.

This 2nd game has already been a 100x better game so far for C9 by far and Svenkeren.
