I wonder if it's more preferable being first or second.
Not knowing the performance of C9 and Origen makes it hard. C9 being first is more likely than Origen being first since Group B is all 1-2.

I feel like everyone is shit talking sun dried tomatoes on the analyst desk but those things are tasty.

I didn't watch but that just sounds fucking stupid. I played sports all my life and in HS there were times when we were eliminated from playoffs contention so the games was basically meaningless. However we still didn't dick around. Show some class and respect to the game, your fans, your organization your, opponent and most importantly yourself as a competitor and play it out. TSM did the same shit against mineski or whatever wildcard team it was. This is how i know esports isnt there yet the lack of professionalism is still so prevalent. I hope their coach drills them hard for this shit. Just because you can't make it out of groups you don't dick around like this.

If you have nothing to gain then have fun and give your fans a show with weird shit. No one wants to try hard just for the sake of it, the mental stress isn't worth it specially when the match shouldn't exist.

They tweeted it was going to be a fun game before the match with their coach tweeting just before that.

Ye nothing but stomps all day
Haha, I lost. Now I can just goof off. 8)
Yeah there is nothing on the line in that group except the skt vs edg rivalry. There were no upsets last week and there shouldn't be any this week either. Maybe h2k will cook up some fun drafts.

I think the team will stick, but Huhi and Pobelter will be switching places in the next season.
I think they were afraid of giving Huhi a chance since it was late in summer split when they had a bunch of losses.

Doublelift is one of my favs but it's not a horrible thing to retire after getting to Worlds. That was like his dream wasn't it? He can just hangout on the analyst desk now.
Pancakes
hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
Doublelift wanted to retire because he hadn't won anything, MSG changed that. Aphro and Double have no reason to retire at this point because of a poor showing at worlds. They are still top performers in the NA region and will probably still be top 3 next year.

I don't see DL retiring at all. He's young, he can stay in the LCS no problem, he doesn't give a shit about criticism and CLG sounds like the chillest organization in competitive League, to a fault really.
I dunno about chill, what with pretty much all their players leaving in not great terms(saint voyboy seraph nien link)
It sounds anything but chill to me

Chill as in they don't really give a shit about anything and just go with the flow. I'm not complimenting them lol, but basically my point is DL doesn't have to worry about stuff like getting benched since Hotshot has no backbone unless it's vs a top laner.

It's been a lot better post-Link meltdown.
Meh I couldn't care less about C9. But he get on my nerve when he was trying to make a joke about 0-6 without offering any analysis whatsoever. When asked about LGD or IG's inconsistencies, he was like ''Hmm, they have up and down''.....

Remains to be seen now after getting shit on at worlds in the easiest group
Msg was very nice, specially since it was 3-0 against tsm but we'll see, I'm sure they're not content with just that

They know some people are working on Friday and they're leaving the groups that aren't a foregone conclusion for the weekend, obviously.

Well now I know for sure why I don't consider this shit a sport. It's a fucking joke to anyone who has ever played traditional sports. It doesn't matter it's a respect thing to yourself, fans and your organization. I know I'm being harsh and all these guys are young but please grow the fuck up just a little bit. I thought I saw progress when they finally got chewed out for showing up to team meetings and breakfast late but I guess they are still kids. It's bad enough you guys look like a bunch of idiots to outsiders who don't follow E-Sports, but at least to yourself show some maturity. Like ESPN is try their damn hardest to push E-Sports. People are trying to help you create a sustainable career playing fucking video games for Christ sakes. I just would like for these guys to put more effort into this. I find it fucking embarrassing... if they tried their hardest and lost to Pain then so be it. And you're also disrespecting PAIN by playing like a bunch of jack asses. At least show your opponent some respect so if Pain wins they deserve the praise that go with it. Now people will just say "Oh Pain won cause CLG dick around." which is a disservice to Pain and their organization.
prolly randomized?

you act like not trying in irrelevant games isn't something that happens late in the regular season in sports (whether to rest players, or deliberately tanking to get a higher draft spot)
They left the more interesting groups for the weekend, I guess.
you're talking as this doesn't ever happen in real sports
also sentences like "People are trying to help you create a sustainable career playing fucking video games for Christ sakes." sound like you're completely out of touch of how esports players practice up to 16 hours a day etc etc.
you sound like a boring old man.
Which I'm grateful for. Gonna pull the all-nighter for Group B.

someone's grandma who picked randomly is going to win
No matter whether CLG picked less seriously or not due to the dream being dead, they did lose $20000 due to losing against Pain. (uncertain)
I'll still give credit to Pain for winning it, there's no "Oh but CLG would have won had they picked differently so it doesn't count". CLG's drafting has been shit lately so this is no different from their other games.

Is there even a tiebreaker in that situation in the first place?
Oh, wait, they are tied for third place. My mistake, I thought Pain got more wins. I don't know what happens with the prize money for them in this case.
this
i think tie breakers are only to make top 2, if not it's just game time
it's pretty lame, all clg had to do to get third place is stall
