CLG was in control that entire match. Fnatic had nothing, their champ line up was sub par as well. CLG out picked and outplayed Fnatic every step of the way. Catching Shushei at level 1 like that completely psyched him out. And They pick Kassadin...Not bad, but why would you stack MR and not be aggressive against an AP champ? He completely lost mid for them, Shushei farmed all game and did nothing. CLG completely dominated, no question about it they (CLG) deserved to win that. GP farmed all game too but contributed with his Ulti every fight.

Only... throughout all of CLG's game, you could tell they were missing Chauster. Jiji didn't do a lot bot. Didn't hurt them really, but he played rather conservatively. I don't think he's nearly as comfortable playing bottom lane at that highest level of play. I mean, Salce was brilliant. Nothing on him. It's only that Jiji looks more comfortable playing AP.
Yeah Salce outlaned that Kassadin all day. Bot lane was very passive, which was fine in the end. If all you do is farm bot the advantage is nullified between both sides for that lane. What won bot lane was Fnatic returning to base and giving up a free dragon. That was just dumb on their part, CLG was agressive when they needed to be and Fnatic was unco-ordinated. The odd thing was essentially NO ganks the entire game.
Kog Maw was considered an odd pick, but it was their (CLGs) 5th pick to counter Lee Sin/Gragas. Kog Maw dominates HP stacking champs late game. That was exactly what happened. The fact that their Lee Sin went on to build a Warmogs was idiotic. It just added to Kog Maw's late game potentcy. Which again goes to show why and how CLG won that easily. I'm not saying Fnatic isn't good, they are. But their picks and bans were poor, on top of that they were kept off rhythm by CLGs playstyle. CLG pushed into mid game right around 15-20min mark and Fnatic was still in laning phase, no transitioning, no "rat-packing" they were still trying to CS....Which is why they won in terms of CS; farming is a great thing, but when the opponent is clearly ahead and sets the pace you need to try and get the tempo back for your team. They couldn't do that failed Ashe arrows, failed Gragas ultis, fail, fail, fail, fail all around. For right now they're Failnatic not Fnatic.

Fx vs CLG- Salce got a bit cocky early as Zilean, but it was alright they got it back easily....FarmShotQQ actually DID well when he needed to. Props, CLG is looking like a completely different team than they did at Dream Hack.
Fnatic vs Fx- Nothing too suprising, but there were some great moments from Fx but they lost their grasp mid game and couldn't pull back.
SK vs Fnatic- GET RAPED WICKD YOU COCKY *****. Pretty much sums it up SK had **** going for them all game and Wickd was a cocky **** who didn't play a LEGIT solo lane champ (because his EGO is still too big) The only bright side was Anivia for SK and that dumbass built GA to protect his lead, which got him ****ed. Wickd's a bad influence on his team, unless the dumbass realizes WTF is going on he will be kicked from SK soon IMO. I've watched Wickd's stream for long time. No matter what game he plays he thinks he's awesome at it and he's always going on about this and that. He's an idiot more losses for him Pl0x then we might actually see a good player re-emerge from the rubble that was his ego.

Well the NA teams got a wake up call at Dreamhack IMO. And the EU guys sat back on their haunches a bit. The result being a reverse (or something close to it) for the NA teams. Too bad I'm working until 6tonight and this comp is too old to handle steams without SUPER lag T_T
