Just gonna write down my thoughts on all matches in Battle of the Atlantic and the NA Promotion Tournament.
Alliance vs Dignitas

*sigh* I tried to have some faith in Dignitas. I really did. I don't like them very much as a team but I still wanted them to win because I want NA to win. Sadly they got stomped. The part where Froggen stole blue from Scarra and Crumbz was hard to watch. I seriously didn't expect Dig to get stomped this hard. They all underperformed a lot. Props to Alliance of course. They were pretty good for a new team.

TSM vs Lemondogs

I was excited for this match because I wanted to see what Bjergsen is capable of (don't watch the EU LCS that much). LD is pretty weak at the moment and it was obvious TSM would win but it's still nice when your favorite team wins. All hail Bjerger King for his good debut with TSM. About LD..I think they're probably gonna take 7th or 8th place if they keep their current roster but they might improve by quite a bit if they practice hard.

Alternate vs CLG

CLG did better than Dig but I feel like they underperformed too. I was expecting them to win or if they lose go 2-1. But they lost 2-0 instead. I dunno why NA Teams that I don't like lose when I try to have faith in them o.O *sigh*. Hopefully CLG will play better in the LCS. Alternate played very well by the way. And that play by Kerp where he one-shotted dexter and Link...beautiful!!

XDG vs Gambit

I expected XDG to lose this one. They're a pretty good team but they can still improve in my opinion. Some of you might think Gambit crushed them but I think XDG managed to put up a good fight. Gambit kinda trolled I guess but even if they didn't I still think the games would have gone the same way (XDG putting up a fight but Gambit outplaying them). I really would have liked it if XDG won (points for NA :D) but I expected the loss so it's not that big of a deal. Oh and Darien is a boss. #420BlazeIt

Evil Geniuses vs Determined Gaming

I really didn't know what to expect in this series. I knew DTG was a pretty good team but I didn't know much about the new EG. At first, I kinda wanted EG to lose cause I'm still mad at how they split up with Froggen and Wickd but after I got over it I just wanted the best team to win. EG kinda dominated them which was shocking but at the same time not shocking. EG are pretty much a new team so it's understandable if people doubted them but Snoopeh, Pete and Krepo's experience really paid off in those games. They played very well considering they've been together for only a month or two. Also props to Westrice for accepting the loss and not worrying about it too much. As a player he has a great personality and mentality.

Oh and was I the only one impressed by InnoX? I didn't think he would be this strong. The moment after I finished watching the games I went to his stream and followed it right away xD

Team Coast vs The Walking Zed

Coast did very well in this series. Sure it was a 3-2 but in the 2 games Coast lost they didn't really get stomped or anything. Game 2 was a super close game and Coast could have won it too if they won the last team fight. Game 4 was a bit more one-sided but still not a stomp. Coast on the other hand stomped twz in all 3 of their wins. Yazuki and Bischu played well and they did impress me a little bit but twz's bot lane and jungle were painful to watch (especially their ad carry). Grats to Coast for re-qualifying. WizFujiin is looking strong and I think Coast has a chance of making it into the Top 4 if they play well in most of their games.


I'm expecting Curse to 3-0 Cognitive today. As for C9 vs Fnatic, I really don't know. If C9 get it together and perform like they did in the NA LCS I think they can win for sure. I really want them to win cause I want NA to win. Go C9! I believe in you! (for now :D)

Update: C9 won it for NA! Woooo! Hopefully people will stop bashing NA now ^^
