Talking for those who supported any of the North American team but who didn't make it out of group unfortunetaly.
Just out of curiosity because i remember last year when none of our team went out of groups,a lot of salty "friends" didn't even support another team. Or you just want to see great plays ?:D
Zebekn2 votesHonestly, I don't really support any of the NA teams to begin with. I really don't like the "farm for 30 minutes then try to win lategame" strategy that they all play. I have some respect for EU because they at least change it up and try new things. Lets be honest though, Korea will win again because they play a superior meta game. NA especially is too focused on getting to lategame to realize that they could instead be pushing to win MUCH earlier, like they do in korea. This is the primary reason I don't really care for any of the NA teams. They are stuck in their ways and their ways arent working. And the solution? continue using the same tired strategy that korea has already seen and knows how to beat.

Haha yeah i can understand.Even if i'm usually watching NA LCS i was bored a lot of time(that's why i kinda liked Gravity for their cheeses) But yeah,i think SKT or KT will win but i still support Origen.
Facy2 votesHave u seen any game? CLG and C9 used the fast mid push strat... it worked well in week 1 and got exposed in week 2 which resulted in 1 sided stomps... but still they tried to play it rly fast...
Only tsm is boring as fk and doesnt know what to do past 15 mins in game and run around doing basicly nothing to win the game, but thats how they always played... so with NA teams u mean TSM?

cite specific examples of when they picked and played for the earlygame. I seem to remember sneaky playing lategame carries every game like he always does. I'm also having a hard time equating veigar to the earlygame, as it is his weakest point.
You can think whatever you like but the fact remains that NA lacks the confidence to beat Korea. the reason people play lategame champs that scale really well is that they don't have the confidence to close games sooner, in reality the lack of confidence is the problem.
Fastpush strat with veigar and kogmaw? yeah no wonder they didn't make quarterfinals.
Maybe next time they can go malphite yasuo amumu and then splitpush!
Axis the Dragon1 votesYeah, you really didn't watch the games, then. xD
All 3 of C9's games in the first week involved Tristana or Azir in some way, shape or form, in a fast-push strategy that involved taking towers down as quick as possible, which netted them a clean 3-0. Second week, though, most teams banned out Azir, making their fast push not as effective, which really killed their momentum (ending the week 0-4). They tried a Yasuo+Malphite comp in their tiebreakers but AHQ counterpicked them pretty hard.
Fitz n The Fool1 votesPretty sure most Americans will support EU teams over Asian teams. Probably Origen first then Fnatic.
9kPluzZ1 votesI won't, I hate European teams. Better off rooting fo KT.
Stillname1 votesI just want to see some upsets. The last two years the team that was the supposed to win was the team that won. Would be nice to see someone break that this year and beat SKT.. and even nicer for a team that wasn't Korean to win.
Myz1 votesDon't care, rooting for FW now. KOO second because they have najin's players and I liked najin S3 and S4.
Kinjishi1 votesFrom who is left now: SKT, Fnatic, KOO/KT (either one would be good). Looking for SKT to destroy Origen.
Linthe1 votesI am actually REALLY looking forward to the SKT-Origen match. I think it could be REALLY interesting. Possibly, on par with Fanatic-EDG depending on which teams show up in the EDG match.
C9 Scott Free 1 votesI want OG to win but I think FNC has a better chance.
1011001110001 votesI'm rooting for Fnatic but expecting SKT to take it.
Although, to be fair, if any of these match-ups could actually take it to the 5th game and make it close, I'd enjoy it.
Xantak1 votesI live for the fantastic plays, and crowd reactions. However, with NA, IG and LGD being eliminated, I'll be the first to congratulate all the teams who beat the NA teams, and exposing weaknesses that must be worked on, improved on. This year, EU has played superior to NA. There's no shame in admitting that. EU had the much better performances. And I hope that next year, NA will rise up in competitive magnitude, but most likely, it will be a massive overhaul, rebuilding season, especially for TSM, C9, and possibly CLG/TL.
The teams I would be rooting for, would be either AHQ(let's see if they can bring down the current gods they'll be facing) or KT Rolster(I like Nagne). AHQ right now definitely seems like the dark horse of the remaining teams, where everyone had already written them off the moment the KO stage brackets were set down. I've always been one to root for the dark horse in any tourney or matches, win or lose.

CLG is in surprisingly good place right now. You be like but they lost, I be like yes team wise C9 and TSM were still better even that they made it first in NA. CLG is in a prefect place to grow what they have right now. But just like TSM an C9 they were not worth looking at as a contender in this worlds. They won NA in the weakest NA year that ever existed(or least competitive).
HentRex1 votesCLG fan, as well as Origen fan. Liked CLG since I got into Lol in early season 2, became a fan of fnatic as well. When xPeke left so did my fandom lol. I like players not teams. Regi and Choax were the reason I disliked TSM for the longest time. Long time Pr0lly fan was sad to see them get matched up with Edward and SKT.
PoisonedTea1 votesNo I support Fnatic. They are fun to watch.
I am ok with Origen.
