nvm they threw

counter throw

isnt skt shit since they lost piglet and pooh

LOLTSM( I wanted them to do well but christ almighty)

na is shit tbh

RIP FNC THE FUCKING PENTAKILL

rip

skt my boys

no lol. That was a solid roster change, they won lck spring split with wolf/bang and switching between easyhoon and faker.

i wonder if nobody else posted if enigma would just have kept talking to himself

dumbledoge is my favorite player in any esport

i expected skt to dominate
i expected tsm to lose, not that bad.
i expected fnatic to lose, not throw and be humiliated on a global level

that was the most disappointed ive been since s3 worlds

is there any way an NA team can actually do good against international teams?

bring over a bunch of koreans

what I don't get is why people care so much if an NA team does well

why can't we just accept they're shit, move on, and become fans of Korean and Chinese players whose playstyles interest us, regardless of whether they have slanted eyes or not???

edit: especially because tsm fans are the bronies of esports

skt looked shakier day 2, bengi kinda weak on not-reksai
dyrus first blooded in like 4/5 games :^)

Tsm isnt even my favorite team, i'd say liquid is

It has to do with the idea of "if people get used to one region dominating eventually there won't be any more competition and it will die out as an esport" and regional pride. And if a team with a glaring weakness (dyrus tilting after the first death, bjergsen isn't 5-0 by 20 minutes) is considered the "best" in North America then it really reflects badly on the rest of the scene

two of the three best esports of all time (cs 1.6 and brood war) were dominated by one region for almost their entirety. 1.6 is probably the best counterexample to your argument because NA teams could compete from like 1999 to 2005, but in the most competitive era (2008-2010 or so), they couldn't, and that's when the game was at its peak.

I don't think it reflects badly on the scene as a whole that the 10th best team in the world or so still has glaring weaknesses. to use cs:go as an example, do we get upset that flipsid3 or dignitas have glaring weaknesses? if it weren't for the arbitrary fact of their nationality we wouldn't give a shit.

skt down

rip

RIP SKT...
faker no longer 'undefeated' in any official championship event on LeBlanc.....

SKT vs FNC and SKT vs EDG were fun to watch.

Incarnati0n hype

bjergsen 2.0?

maybe it's just me, but even if Incarnati0n lives up to the hype, I think that Balls is reaaaally washed up at this point, and they either need a gold-efficient top laner who doesn't need as many resources or a more legitimate carry threat
