Yes, go west! Give it your all!
CLG and C9 are pretty much built for international play, so I'm not that surprised by them. EU was underrated all year. Fnatic lost today because they didn't take AHq serious. I don't think they will make that mistake again.
they also lost because AHQ played actually really well, both pick&bans (that tahm had been utterly brilliant to shut down fnatics teamfighting) and ingame - if they would have played like that on day 1 C9 wouldn´t be 2-0 right now.
...and they picked Darius. That Champ is just useless in every game so far, just getting abused in lane and in teamfights if his team can´t carry him hard.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) nah more like being undefeated in eu did more harm than good, they forgot how to adapt because doing it all their own way with only origen for "real" competition made it to easy. They got rusty for acutally good teams. Only origen posed a threat to them in EU so their practice was less significant than all the grinding c9, and these other teams did.( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
west is overall better than the east, but east has overlords on their side in the shape of the koreans.
Keep in mind that almost half of the players in the West teams are actually eastern or from eastern origen (and many of those are also korean).
Immigration is a great thing!
I'm really interested in the KT Origen game. Origen is showing up strong, I think getting to be together and practice against harder teams though EU split and preworlds bootcamp (I mean they've only had a split of going against EU teams since they left challenger) has made them show up even stronger than expected (plus that 4 man ori ult from peke was possibly the most game changing play I've seen this worlds).
I'm also interested in the C9 Fnatic game to see if the AHQ game today was a fluke or not. I think if Huni pulls the same shit tomorrow that he did today C9 has a really good chance of taking 1st in the group. Huni WILL be up over balls (everyone has been so far) early and if he takes that too far and throws the lead back C9 has shown they can win easily even w/ balls behind badly early.
I'm really curious though how it goes, bc CLG had a super easy group compared to most, Fnatic was expected to be strong, and I'm not sure Origen wins the LGD game (definitely not as hard as they did) w/out that Ori ult making a massive win, so can Peke keep up those plays. C9 has been amazing to watch, but it's funny, I'm almost more interested in their off season than their worlds games. They are so much better than expected I'll be happy no matter what happens, even if they struggle next week (I think teams underestimated them and will prep better next week). However, Hai wants to retire and I'm not sure how they replace him, I think Lemon said he is retiring, and Balls has been behind early in both games so far (and by a lot). They may be looking at replacing almost as many players as Fnatic did.
C9 stands a chance if Huni plays against them like he played today against AHQ.
Definitely, I think that's the key to this game. Was Fnatic just being aggro bc they were trying to make a statement win over AHQ and it back fired, or have they gone back to a more aggro play style w/ less careful timing for when to go aggro? If they aren't careful I think Huni will try to push his lead against balls too much (Balls has been down in top both games and Huni has been doing well top so it should be a safe bet Huni will be up early), and Hai will be able to punish Fnatic for it by taking objectives as a 4 man group on the other side of the map, or Incarnation/Sneaky getting fed by catching Huni going too aggressive.

Be my mom, walk into the room while the kids are watching tv, cool. Notice there are spirit like things going up into the air, strange. Notice crowd chanting SATAN SATAN SATAN, kk no more tv kids.
None of them have beaten a Korean team. Don't get too hyped just yet.
And people told me I was an idiot when I said NA is going to win worlds this year!
So you're hopping C9 pulls off a miracle? won't happen
They've already performed three already, so I wouldn't say C9 couldn't win the worlds.
*7-4 RIP Fnatic
A lot of the good players from Korea and China left and joined better paying teams in NA and EU so it is expected that they will be doing better than the Asian region even though SKT is currently destroying at the moment.
Well lets wait till the face up against edward and skt.
Off point what happened to team liquid, i thought i would see them at workds
Lost in the Gauntlet
God speed you beautiful bastards ![]()
Considering EDG and SKT T1 are in a single group haha
I'll never understand how such slow game as LoL is still being a popular esport. Why.
VODs let you skip past the farming phases. That's why I still watch even though I haven't played SR in ages.
Well, american football, futbol, baseball, and other sports can take a long time to complete a game. Not everything is fast paced. Board games, such as chess, can take a long time as well. People probably accept and understand this when playing and watching online games like LoL.
tsm is out right?
Not tru koo was beaten by flash wolves
Raise up your arms.
Give EU and NA your energy.
Even if you don't believe.

Fnatic won their first game by a wide margin. I also judge based on small sample sizes.
