Holy moly, this has been a great game. C9 look a lot stronger in fights, I think they'll pull it out but it's neck and neck.

Zuna with the bronze level target selection cost them both of the last two fights. Why would you just stand in Ashe's AA range attacking Nunu when you're loving level 18 tristana?

Too bad being the only team that doesn't suck makes the LCS kind of suck by comparison. Come on NA!

That was a heck of a game..a lot of questionable teamfights, but C9 keeping in there is awesome! These kind of games are really promising, even if there is miscues!

I think Coast has been pretty disappointing to watch in most of their games so far. They had a good one today but they've laid some pretty big bombs in a few games so far. I think whoever ends up third in NA is just going to be a sacrificial lamb in the first round of worlds anyways though so it probably doesn't matter.

Cloud9 being so much better than everyone else kinda ruins LCS for me. Every game they're in is such a 1-sided stomp usually, and even against Vulcun, the team in second place, they were just kind of loving around, picking champs they hadn't practiced much and generally throwing early game and they still won! Its almost as bad as watching games with Velocity except its a 1-sided stomp for the other team. I can't wait until s4 when Curse, Velocity and either TSM or Dig get relegated and maybe someone learns something from watching C9 and the OGN. It's just no fun when one team is that dominant. We may as well just send 1 team to Worlds.

Honestly, I think all the NA teams are going to be outclassed at worlds. The Korean teams are SO much better and the Chinese teams are at least slightly better.

Yeah watching the top Korean teams play I just can't see how any NA/EU will beat them. C9, Gambit, ATN and maybe Vulcun and Fnatic on good day could put up some resistance sure, but I wouldn't bet on them to win against the Koreans.

I can't believe they decided to give NA and EU an unearned extra slot. I wonder if Koreans are going to be pissed by the sudden change. Give everybody 3 slots and Korea 4 if they're going to do that. There are definitely enough teams in the OGN to have 4 good teams. This will just piss off the Chinese and Taiwan fans as well that NA/EU get special treatment.

It was exactly the same last year as well. NA and EU got an extra slot compared to other regions. This isn't exactly new.

Scene has changed a lot from last year and this is a change from what they announced at all stars. It's because they're afraid of an Asian sweep. I wouldn't be surprised if the group stages are advantageous to an EU or NA team getting past the first day.

While I agree with this, I mentioned it to friends of mine in Singapore and the Phillipines and they were pretty ambivalent about it - saying that they saw it as "Asia has 7 slots, Europe and NA have 3 each" So it might not be pissing off Asian fans as much as I thought.
