Oh, look another finals with only Chinese/Korean Teams. This will be exciting. Actually No.

I was super excited when Misfits nearly won, and held out for C9 winning. I'm straight up not watching the rest. Uninteresting teams, speaking languages that I don't understand. that are propped up as "gods" even though Misfits clearly shown that they aren't.

Oh and it's even better. Next year we get Best of 1's so NA can truly be even worse trash! I mean who needs practice when were trying to cater to the casual audience that has the attention span of gnat?

I really liked watching Esports. Anyone else disappointed that there pretty much dunzo?

The best teams make it. I'm going to watch it.

Achievement? What have they achieved? They have stagnated. Can they really say they've "really" grown? Oh they won one more game than last year. At this rate they might be world's worthy in a decade or so.

They came out of the gates strong. They chocked hard, made choices even silver players with a few games under their belts wouldn't make. I have the hard choice of accepting my team accepted bribes, or they made choices the average player could see past.

They literally gave WE exactly what they wanted and drafted terribly. I don't want to insult them, I want to cheer them.

What good does babying a team do? Oh man even though your decisions were terrible and a five year old with basic problem solving skills could tell you the flaw in your logic you did your best so let's give you an anime-glomp hug and say everything is ok. They screwed up. But not only that, they screwed up so bad that low-level players can see the vast gaps in logic.

It's like trying to understand why they would throw fire would and grease on a fire when there trying to put out the fire.

It's like trying to understand poking holes in a condom when you're not trying to get a girl pregnant.

So I'm faced with few options. My team was either paid off to make China look good. They chocked harder than a fat kid 5 minutes before a buffet is closing. Or they straight up were drinking during the tournament and had one to many drinks.

I am trying to understand the basics of their failure. I cannot understand their malfunction. Nor can I understand how they manage to do it EVERY single year.

It would be one thing to be outplayed. But their loses as of late have from "Hey let's draft like were trying to lose".

Actually yes. No team looks like an inevitable favorite. It's just as unpredictable as the entire tournament has been.

But no. You'll watch what you're interested in. So whatever. Join the other club.

It must be nice to just talk down and dismiss someone else's achievement in winning world tournaments and even use it to insult them.

Careful man! The downvoters are out! They don’t want to hear this!

Meh

I’m interested because the LPL teams have learned to abuse the ADC role

I’m happy though. I think SKT and SSG will need to do it too

If RNG can actually take down SKT and make the final then it'll be exciting, but for C9 to lose the way they did has completely ruined it for me, I'll be speeding through vods many hours after the games happen and won't really give a shit. Rather than excitedly waking up at three in the morning like I have been.

You forgot who needs to keep good teams when we can keep Fox and Liquid? So I can only give this rant a B-

If there's a good game, I might pull up a Vod. I'm certainly not watching the whole thing. at 3 or 4 in the morning. And when the rebroadcast occurs, I'm going about my day. Again I might pull up a Vod of a good game or two, but I really stopped watching the whole thing after Riot didn't accept IMT. It's not out of spite mind you. Just not really interested.

Best of ones isn't going to make me watch more than best of threes or the like. And now that IMT is gone, probably not much at all to be honest.

As for the few C-9 and TSM fans acting up, show a bit more loyalty to your own teams. As for me, yeah Cody had a terrible day. No doubt about it. But in an ADC centric meta and him being not only a worlds rookie, but a genuine first year player, well at some point, you had to expect that to show its face. It did. And well they did what 0-3 teams do. Same exact thing Fnatic did the week before. They lost that one game they could have and should have won.
But at least C9 and TSM get to go on. IMT is finished unless they decide to try and start a team in another region.
