IEM Katowice discussion thread!

[quote=Wayne3100]You watch such a great game and all you have to say is that one of the teams is crappy because they made mistakes in the late game? ._. Very close and tense game, but - unlike in their earlier game - the [[Wukong]] + [[Yasuo]] combo wasn't executed properly in most late game teamfights (targeted [[Leona]] or [[Dr. Mundo]] too often). Kid was very impressive on [[Lucian]] though, it has to be said. gg KTB :D[/quote]

[quote=Embracing]Great back and forth game by iG. Shame they threw pretty hard in baron and in the last few fights. I really dislike the new WE roster and how they've been performing, but WE always had a record of preparing really well for offline tournies. My predictions : KTB / iG / Gambit finals.[/quote]

[quote=Khazem]holy crap TPA taking everyone by suprise again TPA's solo laners looked insane in that game o_o I don't think I've ever seen Alex get crushed this hard before[/quote]

[quote=Napoleon D]I should never bet money on league of legends. SUCK IT EU WE NA ARE BETTER Kappa.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]Oh well, looks like I called group B right at least. Should've believed in my favorite Group A team (KTB) though. I thought Fnatic were better than that... >.<[/quote]

[quote=Cooper112]Why not tsm just wondering why c9 is only na team? What benfit does tsm have taking this week off why not go against international teams. Any way this year eu sucks. Na is amazing but its only one team.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100][quote=Cooper112] Why not tsm just wondering why c9 is only na team? [/quote] I'm not quite sure, I assume the teams that are there qualified for this somehow and TSM didn't? I mean I know for sure that Millenium won the IEM in Sao Paulo, I figured that's how they qualified for this championship. Not sure about how these teams were chosen, that's just what I assumed, anyway. [quote=Cooper112]Any way this year eu sucks.[/quote] I really hope you're not serious >.>[/quote]

[quote=Vynertje]Yup, the teams qualified through winning other IEM tournaments (most of them date back to the season 3 patch though)[/quote]

[quote=Cooper112]To be fair tho apparently korea just got 4.3 and na been on it alot longer so they might not be used to playing against morg idk. [img=http://i.imgur.com/422FVhb.jpg][/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]C9 completely surprised me with how dominant their victories over WE and TPA were. None of their players showed any real weaknesses and their rotations were flawless. Balls won lane against CaoMei, Sneaky beat out Weixiao (although this could largely be due to China's inexperience against [[Morgana]]), while Hai beat sukiM (who is tied for first in MVP points in the LPL) as well as Morning who in turn crushed Alex Ich in lane. Fantastic play from everyone on Cloud 9 - I was expecting them to get destroyed, but they look like the tournament favorites now.[/quote]
