what is this biased hype toward H2K?
EDG goes typical LPL team and drafts 3 losing lanes, H2K had 10k gold lead and still took 45 minute to finish a game like this, this is nothing special at all. What is up with all these hype?

Because they're in a great position to win a Worlds group, which is good under any circumstances.
EDG is supposed to be a great team out of LPL, they are also the #1 seed. Because of that, they have a lot of believers in their team that they can go far. So, when a team like H2K that performed under expectations for the summer split and playoffs beats that EDG-like team, it's very hyphy. Everyone gets excited.
For comparison, see CLG beating ROX in their first game. CLG had a fairly poor summer split, but still managed to beat the expected #1 team coming into the tournament in the group stages. Yes, CLG ended up not making it out of the group, but the day that they beat ROX, everyone went crazy because no one expected a team like CLG to come in and beat the #1 team from Korea.
I'd laugh if Edward got beat by IHQ

It's EU. Winning the Bronze 5 group is all they have.
