yeah that's really surprising, everyone thought LGD would be doing better

Get fucked FREESM

the EUphoria is too strong

I havent watched this game in a while but I can tell TSM still gets out drafted all day everyday.

I wonder if their ridiculous coaching issues are playing a role

or if they're secretly hiding the fact that flame has been practicing jungle, and he's gonna burst out tomorrow

worrying trend for a diamond 2 player

all the Chinese teams choking today

so much for 'strongest region'

come on please turn it around already this is painful to watch

I have a theory about why the Chinese teams are struggling so hard (not exclusive to me, I'm sure). Basically, because of their frankenstein'd CN/KR teams and their ownership basically being rich fanboys themselves, you get these rosters that don't do a good job of hiding the weaknesses of their role players. You also, frankly, get shittier role players, who are more exploitable to begin with. When you look at the top 2 Korean teams this tournament, SKT and KT, their role players would most easily be defined as bengi, Wolf, Nagne, Arrow, and then maybe bang and Score on the borderline. All of those players are, at the very least, still solid, and the teams find ways to make them still useful. Meanwhile, look at TBQ, AmazingJ, Kid and Kitties, and see how hard they've all been abused by every team that's beaten them. Hell, these teams have fewer weak links than the Korean teams, and they still can't disguise them perfectly.

In LGD's defense, TBQ is so fucking awful that they got pretty good at advanced lane swaps to hide him during the LPL, but I think their loss of coaching staff has made it harder for them to do so.

AN could have just cleanly won two teamfights in a row if he'd just fucking autoattacked to clean up kills rather than wasting time channeling jinx ult

it's not like he was doing it out of necessity -- he was already in range actively autoattacking with zero threats in both instances

Even as a Dota player I'm getting excited for western teams pwning eastern teams left right and center. Although I don't understand much what happens, I can get behind the hype!

I wish the game was more action packed in terms of kills though.

I hope people realize just how good Ziv is by now

Depends on what teams are playing, when its someone like SKT vs a wildcard team and even sometimes EU and NA teams, its a fucking slaughter.

LGD...smh...

I was gonna call them the NaJin White Shield of this worlds but even NJWS made it out of groups soooo...

I wanted TSM to go 0-6 ;-;

I hate how literally every western crowd is like 85% TSM fanboys mang

like I don't mind when the crowd rides the dick of OG cuz they have a french player and are EU in general, but cmon get off TSM's nuts Paris

EU gimmicks smh

My roommate plays a lot of League, so he's been trying to get me into watching it (but ironically, he's also trying to discourage me from getting into playing it because he says it's rage inducing).

and profound sadness, as CLG ends up 2-4.

ok i nearly had a heart attack during that edg bkt game

thank god for good teamfighting at the end

if both chinese teams are gone from groups (ldg will go im putting money on it) gg skt won already
