According to the pick'em site and esportspedia, they're just straight up tied.

 

[Stiler]

Dang, was really pulling for CLG .

Well lets hope C9 can keep pulling out the wins, they are my last hope.

 

[kenbo]

That feel when Pain were closer to making it out of groups than CLG

 

[Elixist]

tough break for clg. seems like their confidence was low which never leads to wins.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

looks like flame will finally get to play at worlds

Holy shit they're going to unleash him on us

 

[patchday]

Gaf predicted CLG would tilt after the first loss this morning and they did

This sucks to come home and see the results that CLG bombed this whole day. C9 keep my dreams alive

Was at work all day and couldn't watch or listen to the matches.

[edit] I did watch this morning CLG vs KOO match before going to work and it was really bad

 

[Stone Ocean]

At least I got 7 points out of group A lol

Doublelift won't be retiring. He does hint someone might retire.

Edit: He'll be asking to be on the analyst desk.

RIP XMITHIE

JG pool in NA is seriously dead

TOP pool is pretty fucking dead too

 

[Elfstruck]

Well at least Dyrus gets to play vs Flame for his last worlds. lol

 

[Blizzard]

At least I got 7 points out of group A lol

So did everyone else. 8 points is the place to be, but instead I'm stuck in this 7-point tier with the likes of pancakes. =P

*edit* Riot Phreak has the same score.

Well there's only Rush and Impact lol

Yeah, I never thought Xmithie was good at his game. He does a lot of misplays for the entire split.

 

[Imperfected]

NA used to have a pool of talented leaders/analysts at the jungle position, it just never much in the way of mechanically proficient players. Unfortunately, when the leaders retired to coaching positions the "talent" they were replaced with was mostly has-beens/also-rans at other positions who aren't much better mechanically and seem to have little game knowledge.

There's a certain irony that the best modern NA jungle leader is a washed-up mid-laner, I realize, but such is the NA life. We tried to do a cute bit-shift with what talent we had in the region, and it only ever really worked out for Aphromoo. (Sort of...)

 

[Skux]

Terrible performance by CLG. Going in with a no-tank comp against KOO and then having absolute solo queue brain melt vs PNG.

Hai was a jungler before he played mid though.

 

[thestopsign]

I am now #faithless

CLG did better than they have before though and I will remain their fan for the foreseeable future, I just wish they went out with a fight.

 

[drawkcaB]

CLG 0-3. C9 next. Don't panic, everything is going back to normal.

 

[Newt]

Inb4 H2K 3-0.

 

[Edwardo]

Inb4 H2K 3-0.

Wooo gonna make some draftkings money

 

[Firestorm]

I went by the liquor store and there was a dude in a CLG hoodie checking out with a bunch of booze

both funny and sad

30 mins more for SKT game. So hyped!

Thanks for the heads up, gonna watch this during work today :3

 

[killatopak]

tomato canyon is back.

 

[killatopak]

I wish faker would unbench the kench. He's been playing him the most in solo q.

 

[Ledhead]

Yamaha Canoe back on the analyst desk. I'm thinking SKT takes this, but I hope it's close

 

[NSESN]

People are not prepared for the solo lane TK.

 

[Calvero]

why does everyone look lifeless in their headshots

 

[Tizoc]

'Puts Meeting Code'
Hopefully I can get away with this for 10 minutes at least :X

 

[Balb]

Pretty bad slate of games today...Even the SKT EDG game is underwhelming because EDG probably won't give it their all.

Yeah. H2K and BKT have been pretty one-sided affairs. Will be interesting to see the two go head to head though

 

[NSESN]

Marin is soo good.

 

[Azzurri]

SKT too good.

They have left humanity behind.

 

[Tizoc]

EDIT: Sorry was for something that happened 5 mins. ago ^^;

 

[killatopak]

MEIKO IS LEARNING FROM GORILLA.

 

[Primethius]

Wow, that game was way quicker then I expected.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

welp

 

[Makareu]

EDG is not the most mentaly resilient team out there. Suddenly their match against H2K may not be that one sided.

 

[Archie]

EDG is just holding their strats. :^)

 

[clemenx]

Lol SKT will go undefeated.

 

[patchday]

Wow SKT really did make it look effortless

 

[NSESN]

SKT is already on quaters, it's impossible for both H2K and EDG reach 4 wins

 

[killatopak]

Marin is a god. Faker is a god, Bengi is a god. Wolf is a god. Bang is a god.

WTF?! All of them played so well! This is probably the strongest SKT I've seen.

 

[Ledhead]

Uh, even that game was as a stomp. Group C is so boring.

 

[Ferga]

I'm still surprised Benji was able to comeback to a legendary jungle status after his performance last year.

 

[killatopak]

I agree with Yamato. I think they should have focused on Elise first. Elise having flash wouldn't matter if you cc chain her. Also pointing out that she has flash while ignoring the fact that she can't flash over a wall in that position is just bad. They really should have gone for Elise. If after that they couldn't make a good reengage then at least they have a smite advantage and could have gone for the dragon.

 

[Tizoc]

Kinda dull to see the same characters in every match but it is a tourney.

 

[Hydrophobic]

I had to leave right after Meiko used fate's call to go back into 4 of SKT, so I'm not surprised to hear the game was over quick. I'm a little surprised the game was that uneven again.
