Support NeoGAF

[Quonny]

NA does this across games. In Dota 2, same thing. They always tunnel hard on one strategy and then after the initial week the othe teams figure them out.

 

[HappyPuppy]

When the support Kennen killed the veigar, i was rooting for the support. I don't want to see C9 get to the group stage, mostly cause I always see NA tournaments, it's refreshing to see new players and play styles.

 

[Makareu]

I know you guys don't find it funny.

But 2 Taiwanese teams with full blooded Taiwanese 5 man rooster in QF compare to China's pathetic 1 team showing with 40% Koreans imports in all their 3 teams ( because if you can't beat them, buy them approach ) = hell unleashed on chinese boards.

Spoiler

PS: I'm not Taiwanese.

As usual LMS teams are underestimated at international events.
(AHQ still not in QF though)

It is funny. Most teams think they can just import a Korean and become a world class team. Sure, those Koreans (sometimes) have ridiculous good mechanical skills, but there is so much more than that.

It's a team game with 5 people, the Korean in question has to fit in the team atmosphere (also: language barrier). And I have the feeling this is rarely the case (FNC showcases how it should be done, Huni and Reignover fit in the team as a whole)

 

[Pancakes]

NA is donezo

FNATIC/OG you're our last hope.

I dont think they are full blooded


Really surprised C9 struggled so bad in that last match

 

[Neol]

Wake up to see c9 on suicide watch. Na why.

Fnatic looking good though. Hoping they can clutch this one out.

 

[Aleskar]

Today is a good day.

hhhmm

 

[garath]

I'm so sad

 

[Neol]

Man I'm surprised to see so much Kennen lately.

 

[Leezard]

The LMS is showing up strong this tournament.

 

[Envelope]

AHQ fucked that fight up sooo bad

 

[Neol]

Jesus fnatic teamfights on point.

Huni and Febiven making AN's life horrible.

 

[Gorgaerea]

Holy ... that febiven timing on AN

 

[Neol]

Oh shit AN getting back on point.

Febivan wtf that steal

 

[Leezard]

Ahq's team comp is stronger in team fights and it shows. Fnatic really needs to out play them to win a team fight.

 

[faridmon]

NA falling apart.

Remember when we made fun of China? Well, NA is giving us bigger laugh.

 

[Gorgaerea]

FNC making the individual plays, but losing the teamfights :/ i'm scared

Asian teams are way better at teamfights, but FNC need to pick out individuals more. They should ward more.

 

[Leezard]

Rather than ahq being better at team fighting, their comp is stronger for team fighting. Fnatic has not built a comp for team fighting in the late game.

 

[Neol]

Oh god Huni didn't use ult

 

[patchday]

just woke up and saw what happened to C9

 

[Kalentan]

NA falling apart.

Remember when we made fun of China? Well, NA is giving us bigger laugh.

Seriously, it's fucking wield how they do great in week one and then fall apart in week two. It's like what, did they expect to not need to change strategies? They should have had a week one strategy and a week two strategy so the enemy teams couldn't figure them out so easily.

 

[Fracas]

HOLY

 

[Hemi-PoweredDrone]

THIS GAME HOLY SHIT

 

[Neol]

OH MY FUCKING GOD

WHAT WAS THAT

 

[cHinzo]

FNATIC WON! WOOOHOOOOOOOOOO~! Amazing comeback.

 

[Gorgaerea]

FNATIC ! <3

 

[confuziz]

WOW

 

[HORRORSHØW]

the throws

 

[Usobuko]

That was one hell of a ride.

 

[patchday]

Oh crap Fnatic got 1st seat! they going crazy

 

[Quonny]

WOOOOOOOWWWWWW

 

[RelaxedOtter]

holy shit fnatic

 

[Makareu]

Fucking perfect ending.

 

[Hemi-PoweredDrone]

FNATIC!!! WHAT A GAME HOLY SHIT

 

[Gormless Noodle]

Holy shit what a deranged match, I can't believe they pulled the win out there.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[Leezard]

Now that's a positioning error by ahq. Amazing comeback for fnatic.

 

[kenbo]

Oh shiiiiiit

 

[Firestorm]

Jebus. Fnatic always puts on a ridiculous show to end a game.

 

[HappyPuppy]

That was such an amazing game. Fanatic <3. That distorion on LB when Tahm was spitting out Jinx in the bot lane was so sick. I want to see a Jinx nerf, she makes me QQ with those AoE crits.

While I do think Ekko can have a great effect in tf, you are right, AHQ have way too much CC and aoe than Fnatic

 

[Mister Wilhelm]

That was probably the best competitive League of Legends game I've ever seen.

 

[thestopsign]

WOW

What a day of games so far! I am crushed that C9 has underperformed, but I think they have a good shot after that heartbreaking loss for AHQ in the tiebreaker.

 

[Hemi-PoweredDrone]

While I do think Ekko can have a great effect in tf, you are right, AHQ have way too much CC and aoe than Fnatic

Like the casters kept saying, not having a Zhonya's on Ekko was a big mistake. Should have sold the Morellos for it.

 

[kayos90]

Don't fuck this up C9

Cloud9 have selected blue side in their upcoming tiebreaker match against AHQ #Worlds

 

[Usobuko]

Seed 2 in group B is on a side with infested Korean teams for knock out stage.

RIP.

You miss your chance, AHQ.

 

[Flare]

That last teamfight was insane by Fnatic.

As for the tiebreaker, there's almost no chance C9's getting out after their play today. On the other hand, AHQ have looked much better.
