It's the channel that is always used for the Brazilian league. I think it's kind of like OGN for Korea.

 

Not raging, but in #lol for our irc a lot of people also expressed their lack of interest in worlds after NA was knocked out. Same with a lot of my friends, just there's no one we really know and can identify with, so why does anyone (whom I know) care beside which champs are getting a new skin?

 

My team never stood a chance. TSM is my favorite team but they really never stood a chance at taking worlds.

Not sure if trolling or just plain stupid.

 

Well, I just finished watching the Semifinals between SKT and Najin and it was pretty damn awesome.

 

Eh, take Nagne off of Gragas and something just felt off about NJS - Credit to them though, they came to Worlds with the #1 seed and nobody thought they deserved it. Thus far, they're the only team to give SKT a run for their money (bar OMG).

Speaking of which, my heart's on Fnatic but I have a sneaking suspicion Royal will pull something out and completely throw xPeke off of his game and dent Fnatic. I still believe Yellowstar and Cyanide can perform but if xPeke takes a confidence hit early then it might fall apart.

Gonna say 3-2 Fnatic with Royal taking game one.

Edit; As predictied, Fnatic fall massively behind and the anti-Fnatic chants across everything I'm watching and reading emerge. So many people are surprised a Fizz lost to Ori in farm when Fizz just sat and played passive as hell. This community man.

 

Worlds in 10! Gogo Europe!

 

Well, that was one sided.

 

I'll never understand people's love of SoaZ, yes he's great mechanically but he has some weird choices for champions that just don't work out. That said, Fnatic were out-played across the board.

What saddens me most is watching all these trolls crawl out of the woodwork to bash on the silliest of things, and I'm an idiot for even bothering to read them.

With that said, Lulu was a great pick alongside Vayne, so much escape potential for Uzi even if he ended up not needing it. Honestly don't know why Fnatic didn't shove their lane instantly at bot and rotate up top, or fake a rotation and see if that would've worked. Oh well.

Game 2, here we go Europe.

Edit; Spoke too soon. Oh Fnatic, here come the nerves.

 

Fuck me. OK, that was one sided. Fnatic finally came to play.

 

Game 3 seems to be going Royal's way. Oh well. These were great games, back and forth all the time.



On another note, what's a good chat client to use?

 

GG Fnatic. You did your best, it was nearly enough.

 

Sigh. Fnatic's main problem - split decision making. xPeke goes in far too deep, rest of Fnatic can't get in to save him after wasting Rumble ult and boom, late game Caitlyn does her job.

Should've pushed for turrets in the mid game instead of trying to chase down people - but they played incredibly well and I can't take that away from them.

For once, the CLG comp works albeit with some slight variations in champions.

 

Not picking Teleport or a laner with hard CC against Shen cost them the game. Still, that was four very entertaining games to watch.

And hey, at least Europe is still more successful than North America at world finals.

 

I feel like they had game four, they just weren't fast enough at securing objectives post fight and Uzi got to his 'kill everything' final form, combined with Kayle not ulting Tabe repeatedly and well, Royal soon stomped the fights.

I'm happy for Fnatic though, now I just hope they don't replace Puszu with Rekkles. Dude played his heart out and I'm still not convinced by Rekkles. Every time I watch him he's doing something suicidal.

A part of me wonders what would've happened if xPeke had taken Ahri over Fizz, oh well. Not cheering for anyone next Saturday, just gonna sit down and enjoy the spectacle of a 19000 strong live crowd and what should be a thrilling final.
