CLG, the heroes we don't deserve
NA beats KR, it has been done

Beating KR in a Bo1 doesn't mean much. Ask the FW how much good it did them to beat KOO 2-0 once the bracket stage started. Yeah KR might be handling the Bo1 format bad, since they don't play them at all. But they will get out of groups and then the Bo5 starts. This is where you should hope they play as bad as they are now.

dude, you are SUCH a negative nancy. i've read like 10 of your comments in the past few minutes and you keep saying this but you're so fucking wrong that it really is irritating. it IS a big deal that this CLG team took a game off of SKT in this tournament. especially since NA just showed so poorly at worlds last season. it IS a big deal that CLG flattened the best team from EU. it is a TREMENDOUSLY big deal that they've shown that they can hang with, outplay and out metagame these teams. especially teams like RNG , who was undefeated before that loss and SKT when everyone was thinking that SKT was gonna steamroll MSI and that NA was the worst region world. bo5 or not, it means something. there's a reason why we play the games, dude. you saying that is like me saying that regular season games don't matter in the NFL or something, which is complete BS. also, i really hope that you're posting on a newer account because you got banned or something, otherwise you're just some kid who has 155 wins or something acting like you know everything about this game.
Regular season games don't matter. Last I checked both C9 and IMT finished above TSM because of how many Bo1 they won. What did that accomplish once series play started.
Here is a little fact I just had brought to my attention. Since SKT joined the OGN in season 3 they have lost a total of 6 Bo5. Their record is 26-6, and only one non KR team has beaten them and they had KR imports. It doesn't matter that they are doing worse than expected in groups, Bo1's mean jack shit. If they finish top 4 and make it into the bracket stage and lose then I will be impressed.
And no the NFL's season isn't great, though its understood because of the physical impact. Every other major sport in America uses a Best of series ranging between 5 and 7. Not a one off.
I don't know why you got so hurt emotional you had to look me up like that actually disproves anything I have said. I've been following the game and the scene since season three, and best of ones don't mean shit, its why after this split no region will be using them anymore. Please stop talking out of your ass. And don't tell somebody they act like they know every thing about the game after you typed a paragraph of bullshit like its the gospel of league.

because you're sitting around here talking about how when you have a gold lead of X size you shouldn't be in a position to do this or that and that RNG lost the game and CLG didn't win it, when the truth is you have no idea what you're talking about. that dragon steal and the fight that followed it was pure genius, RNG got outplayed. you're the one that is talking out of your ass, friend. the fact is that CLG has proven a lot to lots of fans and even casters through MSI. just to be able to turn around a game like that against a team as good as RNG is means a lot. your opinion of the situation isn't the only one in the world that holds true. i looked you up to see how qualified you are to make that judgement of these games or this team which it just so happens that you're really just NOT. if the games don't matter there wouldn't be a group stage. no one is trying to say that CLG won the tournament already, just that we're impressed with their showing thus far. you're just all like "SCHNARF SCHNARF NOP STILL SHIT REGION CUZ SKT 26-6." when no one is talking about NA being the best region, or talking about how this is CLGs tournament to lose. we're just saying that NA has taken a major step forward with this group stage. stop the negativity dude, you're generally the only person that i've heard or seen saying this, you're not right.
WTF are you talking about, how often do you see teams with almost a 20k gold lead lose? That fight wasn't pure genius, that was RNG mispositioned with one player doing nothing and two suiciding.
How qualified I am to judge these games, guess over qualified since some of the casters like Monte don't even play the game anymore.
Stop crying to me if you don't like my opinion. It's just groups that consist of Bo1 and they don't determine shit about a teams strength. You just sound like a salty NA fan jumping on the CLG bandwaggon because they are doing ok and are now talking like NA desereves respect because of one decent showing.
Go ahead make guess off of teams based on a MSI tournament. I remeber the last time this happened. Herp derp KR didn't win, they fell off, everyone catching up. Worlds is going to be fun this year but I'm already getting a since of Deja vu.
Its the end of the world
CLG FIGHT!
Glad to see that NA beat a KR team, though I want to see them do it in a Bo5 environment too since KR is notoriously better in Bo5 than almost any other region because they adapt really well to strategies (see Worlds season 3 / 4)
Once NA does that they will definitely be the heroes we don't deserve xD
To be fair this isn't the same SKT we saw at Worlds last year. Still, it's an impressive win and hopefully proof that NA is in fact improving.
My thoughts on CLG (a team known for being terrible outside of their own region) managing to come in and do decently at MSI:
