So Yellowstar can't beat Dyrus' worlds streak now? Sucks for him, I guess, but that series was sad.
Fnatic still get to play the gauntlet. But it, uh, doesn't look hopeful.

Sure, Fnatic had terrible pick ban and no idea what they were doing, but they made the playoffs and where is Deilor at? Exactly.

Wow FNC somehow managed to beat TL for worst coached series of the playoffs. Maybe wait for the offseason to fire your coach? :shrug:

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
There's a weird rumor about some kind of military operation going into affect in South Korea that China doesn't agree with, and the entertainment industry is outright kicking Koreans out of the country in protest, and there's a lot of people in China that feel like Tenecent/Chinese Gov. might kick out Korean players too.

Just a rumor but apparently all the Korean/Chinese message boards are going crazy about it. :v:

I just watched HKE vs AHQ from last night and I'm not sure HKE even know what year they're in anymore. Corki ADC and Kindred jungle 3 straight games. Wowza, what are you doing Dinter

the biggest shame in pro league is that riot's prize pools for LCS and worlds are insanely low and therefore IEM has to be kept low as well

I can't believe Riot hasn't increased the prize pool or won't even do something like sell a compendium like DOTA 2 does to raise the pool with crowdfunding. I mean literally all you would have to do in the second case is give away some random esports icons and skins and put a mini game in the client or something and you could raise the prize pool several million dollars effortlessly.

I much prefer riots method of giving all the pro players a baseline salary + money for gaming house to giving SKT five million dollars every year.
