As much as I'm rooting for TSM and C9 (Being the American that I am), I know that SSW and SSB will sweep the competition, but I'm still rooting for the underdogs. GO TSM GO CLOUD9!!!!!

After what happened with Alliance, anything can happen. I find Kabum beating Alliance more far-fetched than C9 or TSM beating a Samsung team, so why not? All we can do is cheer them up. Go C9!

Ugh I get so sick of hearing how GREAT & UNBEATABLE Korean teams are....

Sad thing is though, to be the best you have to beat the best and until someone knocks the Asian teams off their throne, The Koreans in particular in all the games they are dominant at, SC2 / LoL / Dota, its going to always be "BUT the Koreans will win it".

Theres something i want to point out about that. In all 4 years if DotA 2 international, no korea team have ever won.

2011 - Natus Vincere (Navi) which is from Ukraine 2012 - Invictus Gaming (iG) which is from China 2013 - Alliance (ALL) which is from Sweden 2014 - Newbee which is from China

There is Korean teams in DotA 2 but none of them have ever win. So Koreans aren't always gonna win. Other Regions does have a chance.

Well, tough. Because they are great and they are nigh-unbeatable. The finals will probably be two Korean teams battling it out.

Nobody wants to see one region dominate all others, but the facts are the facts.

I don't know. I can see NWS getting knocked out by a chinese team. If SSW and SSB were on opposite sides of bracket though then yeah, definitely Korean finals all the way.

Still though. Apple pie, bald eagles, etc etc. GO TSM AND C9!

Someday, NA will beat Korean teams. We can all believe in that day. No matter what the "facts" are now, things change everyday. We have to keep fighting.

Thats what they said playing starcraft against Koreans. Nope. If there were 6 koreans entering the tournament, they were usually all in top 8 with 2 of them in the finals

I predict SSW vs TSM : TSM 3 with SSW2. TSM barely wins in the 5th game with Bjerg carrying with zed

xRelyks1 votes

I think SSW will have blue side in game 5 if it gets that far and I can't imagine they'll let TSM get zed, in fact even TSM could ban it to keep it from White

It's gonna be 3:1 for White. TSM can probably get a win, but there's no way in hell they're going to win the series

I Love tsm, i cant see them losing, you know they dominate scrims and with their recent practise they can apply it to real games and go 3:2 or better against SSW.

True fans are those who actually sticks to a team even tho they know that their opponents is most likely going to win, i like it.

I'm hoping for 3-2 TSM win. Honestly 3-0 would be awesome but I want to see as many awesome games as possible XD

Korean teams just train alot more then any other teams in the world.. I have seen interviews where they say that they sleep for 5/6 hours a day, and play for the rest. That makes the skil-lvl on the region just so much higher. The effect of this is that they are used to play ALMOST every game they play against beter then NA/EUW players. Making the gap just bigger and bigger between the regions..

Im going to predict the games between the NA and Koreans will be closer then people think, probably 3-2 both series. However, whichever Korean team shows better ( like SSW goes 3-1 vrs SSB going 3-2) the one with the better record will win semi's and go to finals.

FallenRedKing1 votes

So.... SSW is Korean TSM, and SSB is Korean C9... Seems legit.

zackypoo1011 votes

Riot Fucked NA. Check Star Horn Royal Clubs. Free ride to at least Semi's

There is a difference between the american players and the korean players... the american players dont play 14-16 hours a day like the koreans do.. the americans also im assuming have other things that occupy them and they aren't constantly playing.. Also as we have saw previous years... once a team has won... they kindve fall off. Its been proven especially since SKT the reigning champs were dropped by samsung white.. if not this year.. samsung will meet their match and be removed from the top. But Upsets have happened and TSM could pull it out and pressure SSW to fail

whoever added the music sucks and didn't bother listening to what they were doing... can't hear anything analysts are saying when previewing teams cause the music is so loud

Hydeny1 votes

Well,I am a huge fan of TSM and I like C9 too. There is no reason for me to give up and I am sick of hearing "Oh the Koreans will 3:0 USA lol rofl iksde". This is just some shit everyone can say. TSM and C9 have chances,of course! Samsung Blue for example lost vs. Fnatic who just got kicked off Group Stage so...why in the hell should there be like no chance? Furthermore,several teams didn't do bad against SSW so- Just let the games begin and let us see what TSM and C9 can do. Even Koreans make mistakes! Unbelievable,right?
