GE Tigers < World Elite Kur0 doesn't win lane and the Tigers lose both games. I think everyone knows what happens next. Team Solo Mid > World Elite Lustboy > Spirit

What does everyone think will happen when TSM plays WE. WE wasn't supposed to win at all in IEM and yet they are in the finals. TSM everyone knew was strong but, no one knew how strong the NA scene was compared to the rest of the world.

In before EU fanboys say TSM is not NA. TSM is NA the same way Barcelona or Real Madrid (Soccer Teams from Spain) are Spanish Teams. They consist of players from all over the world. When Barcelona or RM wins an international cup we say that Spain won the cup, no wherever the players were born.

NA please copy and paste that or explain this in a similar way to EU Salts.

Well done WE. TSM will probably, and hopefully win. EU got fucked on. GE was way too cocky and lost.

I am sure I am going to get downvoted hard for this. But after watching both sets. I have to say I am kinda worried about TSM. WE has proven to adapt well and have fiarly solid lanes.

On top of that? TSM took forever to close out games, came out fairly indecisive on making plays to close it out, and WE closed the games fast and hard. Kinda makes me worry that could bite us.

My guess is that if Bierg can get rolling and get them to midgame, then Wild turtle will pick up and start pushing them in for late game. But if Beirgson doesn't, I am kinda betting WE will roll over TSM.

I am glad NA is winning but those wins felt very scared or unoptimized. I have to imagine there are faster ways to close a lead as large as they had. But if you are trying to minimize risk I suppose it works.

Honestly, this BO3 felt fake to me. Like, Riot told GET backstage, "Okay, so you're gonna win the first one, then lose the next two." It seems like in this match-up and in several other matches over the course of recent seasons have been manipulated in such a way for Riot to create their own "E-sports Storyline" or something. There have been games where teams that were expected to win made mistakes that were just waaay too easy to make. I'm probably overreacting here and thus, this really isn't the case and GET did get a bit too cocky or w/e and threw those 2 games away to TWE. Although, I wouldn't be surprised too much if this was the case, considering all the controversy surrounding Riot about how they deal with the community and such.

TSM already won. WE should just go home already.

If WE beat GE tigers, the CAN beat TSM, however, I am not even a TSM fan and I admit they are playing the best they ever have, it should be an awesome finals tomorrow. I can see it going either way. I hope TSM can pull out the win for 'Murica!

As long as Wildturtle doesn't have to play Corki, TSM has a chance.

I think it will be a 3-1 in favor of TSM. They will probably lose the first game and win the next 3, based on their patterns of other best of's they've been through. This video will explain why and NA PRIDE

TSM the pride of NA standing strong.

I'm already planning to make their sign for the Mid Season Invitational.

TSM beat them once so it is hard to say

Are we forgetting how TSM stomped them the first time? I know it was one game, but still. TSM is really good and I think they will sweep the series.

They are only the worst team in China based on rank, you have to account for that, they looked out of sorts in LPL however in Katowice they've looked shaky and then fantastic. If you we're to compare that Team WE to the one that dropped so many games in LPL, surely you can say they would be a top three LPL team if they were preforming at this level since the beginning of the season.

As much as I'm an OCE player by necessity due to server location, my first season-and-a-half was on the NA so I feel just as represented by the NA teams as I do by the OCE ones.
