I was really annoyed with how Monty underestimated our tiny fat man in the pre-game show. I'm just sad he's not on the analyst desk to have to own up to it.

As far as only picking on bad moves, I think it's because the analysts picked OMG to win it, so they had to point out the instances where OMG messed up to be able to justify that.

Smug-Crumbzz was the best. "Can't hear you over the screaming bald eagle."

You can be very good and still be overhyped. I also said 'I don't want to say this definitively just yet'.

I'm just predicting that this tournament will go differently than all the Chinese scene experts expected, even if a Chinese team goes deep - I think certain players and teams they underestimate will hold up better than they expected, and certain players less well.

A lot of that is because western Chinese scene experts seem to swallow a lot of the innate biases of their region and don't see things from a very international perspective.

Ed: Also, go to bed you crazy mouthbreathing Americans.

Yeah, but you were pretty sure, which made me wonder what you saw that supported either of the quoted parts being untrue.

Other than that, I'm sure we can all agree the English LPL experts are full of poo poo as a rule. They still call Uzi You Zee Eye.

This is the thing I am sure of. But, I think there's still time for us to see that Cool might just be a very good (but not great) mid in a region with weak mids.

I have to see the two games vs Peke to be more comfortable saying it (a player who used to be great and is now just pretty good).

This was the part I was mainly objecting to as you weren't talking mids right now, but all time. He was probably the second best mid we saw play last Worlds. What's he got to prove, beat Faker in lane again?

Yeah, I got the tense we were speaking in a bit messed up.

I still think it's arguable that OMG would have made the final vs SKT more interesting than Royal in S3.

But I think this version of OMG is a lot less strong. Bring back Pomelo.

Yeah I thought maybe if you had one for each group so there weren't two inherently tougher groups it might be okay, but... nope. Just not worth it, really. Have a play-in tournament with those from the main regions who just missed out for the last 2 spots and invite the wildcard teams to that so they get stomped there instead or something

4th place from each region = 3 teams. International spots = 3 for 6 teams. Play each team twice and the top 2 advance. Wow riot that sure was hard.

For once I agree with Doublelift, Lucian dumps on Corki what are you talking about Krepo :confused: Lucian has better match ups but as a rule with a well picked support he should beat anyone except Vayne.

I agree that Corki's trading is some of the best available apart from Lucian. My issue with the Corki lane is that if Corki trades with Lucian with q in every trade, Corki will go oom and become useless before Lucian and have to base.

We're getting reports that LMQ's coach is not Fly despite manager stating that he is, we have reached out to LMQ iBUYPOWER for confirmation

Why is LMQ's management situation so consistently a clusterfuck.

Ed: Dade's story should really encourage Cool. Very few LoL players go from being World class, fall out, and then come back again; Dade is one of the few who has done it. Look at what happened to loving Creaton.
