If the opposing team has a Meepo specialist, it's a great way to kicked out of the megatournament when you're 0:1 already.

If we can get OG vs LGD again with the same quality of games I'll be loving happy regardless of the victor

Minus shenanigans from the lower bracket and maybe LGD/VG swapping places, they’re right. EG isn’t even close to the best at this tournament.

Oh you mean exactly in the same position OG was in last year after the same group stage score. Yeah man, no one thought they were going to win either or that they were the best until the moment they won TI.

Didn’t you argue last year that LGD would lose lower bracket finals because they were shook? Or am I mixing you up with someone else?

And yeah EG isn’t gonna win, sorry you have to find out this way but they’re not getting past OG or either LGD or VG. They haven’t been consistent enough.

for EG to take it tomorrow they have to figure counters for some or all of the following:
-Ana Io
-Ceb Magnus + any Ana carry
-Topson's pocket picks (Quas Wex Invoker, Earth Spirit, Monkey King, Windranger, Arc, Zeus)
-Ana Ember
-Ana Spectre
-Ana Alch
-Ceb Tree
-Ench, either on n0tail or Ceb

not saying it's impossible, but I am saying it's a loving lot to counter

Yeah, it's drat near impossible to prevent OG from getting a good team drafted. You pretty much have to give yourself the best draft you can and then play better. It's why OG games are so fun to watch. That and the clownshoes poo poo like Ana body blocking notail to death.

And most of the cn players that say racist poo poo about filipinos

Edit: fwiw, this is why I kinda give Kuku a little leeway about what he said. Chinese racism towards filipinos is way more common than the other way around and although it's not right to say the same poo poo back to them, it's certainly understandable.

It's a two way street. OG need to counter SumaiL, s4, and Cr1t picks just as much as EG needs to counter ana Topson and Ceb.
