I'm torn. On the one hand i suffer immensely from underdog love, and the wildcard beating a favorite speaks to my love of drama. On the other hand, the most boring team at TI5 is winning over the most interesting :smith:

C9 clawing up from the lower bracket to win the Grand Finals would be a pretty good underdog story

c9 lost at the draft

it's a bad teamfight vs teamfight draft but they had a path to win imo if they controlled the early game (you can see it from what envy built on gyro). but they didn't control early, or at least not enough

When a man lies he murders some part of the world. These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives. All this I cannot bear to witness any longer. Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home?

I haven't been able to watch all of Cdec's games but nothing about them seems boring. Their carry seems Xboct level dive crazy and they make fights crazy and fun to watch.

They aren't boring

They play (practically) the same heroes with the same strat over and over and over again, that's boring to me, although probably not everyone feels that way.

I want to see if CDEC can do this when teams start banning Lina because if so then they will probably be in the finals

They needed to go out and kill fuckers, and they just didn't. If they weren't planning to use it, they shouldn't have picked it.
