EUROPE and G2 ( SPOILERS MSI )

G2 best from Europe if not just represents Europe had a REALLY bad showing at MSI and just played like garbage. What happened to the team that did great during the Eu split. I understand the EU is watered down this year but is it really that watered down does EU have NO competition, I understand that alot of players from Eu left for Na but just to say that and to see EU play as Bad as they did at MSI is an under statement. I don't see G2 going anywhere next split if they keep playing like that as they showed at MSI for the next split for Eu summer. The summer splits has always been more intense( longer games, harder competition, etc etc) from every region. The reason I say G2 might not go far in the summer split for Eu is how they represented not just from Europe but how the represented themselves at MSI group stage. If anyone can remember how KIKIS reacted from being eliminated from the group stage, he just walked off and left his team in the rear view mirror on the stage. Leaving your team like that means a few things, 1. He would come to help his team and his team did nothing and that can get under a players skin especially as Top as you come in and 1v5 and soak up dmg and for your team to just stand around and do nothing can be annoying. 2. He is just pissed and like that Yamoto dude when he coached for Roccat. When Roccat would lose a game he would not talk to them or give them encouragement no he would just leave his team and just walks off and Krepo even made fun of it one time saying something like " Yamoto walking off like a Diva" ( I think that is the Quote but NOT 1 % sure). Same thing with KIKIS so I don't see KIKIS staying with G2 much longer and that hurts Europe going forward.
Just my thoughts and Thank you for your time to read this post Give me your thoughts on the matter.

Well, I think they lost because they relaxed instead of training for the MSI. I mean you can't expect to win the MSI without practice.

Yeah I heard about that also, that is just disrespectful to the teams at MSI and the 2-10 or 3-9 record shows its well deserved for EU to think that.
Thanks for commenting to my post, helps alot ;]

*2-8, out of 10 games. Ultimately, it was a risk. Just like decisions made in-game, they can pay off huge or wind up coming back to haunt you. They wanted to give their Korean players a little time to see their families before MSI, and I agree that they should've taken a small time off (maybe as much as 4-5 days) but then practice their hearts out to represent EU well.

We won't know the best choice, for sure. Maybe they would've come in 6th if they hadn't taken as much time off...maybe they would've come in the Top 4. We won't know for sure, and Ocelote and co. made the decision they thought was best for their players.

if you watched any of the EU LCS you would of known that G2 had 0 chance, they are not a great team they won the LCS as the meta suited them and they just didn't let there opponent breathe in an international setting this NEVER works. another reason they had 0 practice that audacity is astounding.

regardless from watching the EU LCS you would of know that Vitality, H2k and Origin would of showed up better at MSI, even FNC started coming together, now Origin/FNC both said they had trouble with the meta and FNC adjusting to another brand new team.

ami saying they would of done better? no, no i am not but i am saying they would of put ip more of a fight.

Fnatic is Fnatic you can't ever underestimate them or it will bite u in your A$$. They have shown in the past that they can change the players and they can still be good. Origen would have done great at MSI. Exciting games as they tend to scale up and wait for late game with their shotcalling, but in the end I think any Europe teams that would participate would not have gone far.
Vitality was looking good at the start of the EU split but near the end they started to fall off and fast. Great team but maybe a little too hyped with their roster as Nukeduck just hasn't ever had the " IT " factor hes good but not great and its been about 2 years now. Like all the buzz that came from that team was ( Kasing's Pillow ) H2K great team that worked around objectives, but something tells me Forgiven is just HUGE flamer and that can back fire on ANY team. Ryu hasn't been impressive like at all; yeah he has a few good games here and there but nothing that was Earth shattering, if anything he is only been known for that guy that got 1v1 by Faker.
