Yeah ssg played it pretty well, I was legit surprised both impact and sneaky ended up getting rocked as hard as they did, and I was expecting them to lose in the first place. I'm hoping anx/h2k can take them down just so we don't have a super boring finals but it was a clean game.

what is boring about SSG in the finals? they've been a ridiculous underdog this entire run.

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.
I was torn when KT failed to qualify for World's but I'm warming up to Samsung again. If they were to win World's I think it'd be strange to consider them a two-time champion because this is essentially an entirely different organization after White/Blue left for Korea. SKT had the benefit of retaining most of their players and coaching through multiple seasons, this Samsung isn't even the same roster/staff from this time last year.

I mean I guess that's fair, I was just going by the standard of we've seen their games vs rox/skt in their own league whereas other regions would be novel. Are you telling me it wouldn't be a bit anticlimactic if it went to skt/rox vs ssg and the former just bodied the ladder as their seeds would indicate?

If push comes to shove I'll root for ssg cause I'll always root for the underdog I just feel like there's much less chance of an upset when dealing with teams that much more familiar with each other.

ROX are probably the underdog in this scenario despite SSG being a brand-new team this year. They looked pretty sloppy in Group A while SKT and Samsung swept their groups

trash talking someone who was just eliminated from the tournament (edit: when you had absolutely nothing to do with it) is pretty lame imo. Trash talk is only fun when there is a chance for a return to sender. Otherwise you're just kicking someone when they're down. Forg1ven is a huge bitch I don't know why this thread likes him.

I know and I understand why it's entertaining. However, I am not a fan of that type of behavior, thus I enjoy when they get their comeuppance. Although I guess forg1ven problem understands where he is in relation to the koreans so he probably won't care too much.

Supposedly, out of the 6 remaining people who got their Group Stage pick 'ems 100% correct, only a single one of them correctly chose SSG over C9. What a loving weird Worlds this has been.

That makes sense. They're the same people who predicted H2K would finish first in their group and G2 would finish last.

I chose H2K vs. SKT. It's admittedly a massive longshot, but H2K looked pretty drat impressive in their second week. pr0lly especially has shown up with his drafting; he seems to know how to adapt to a team's strategy and set his players up well for success.

except in miami, for some reason the dolphins got booed when the jets played, but that's more because the north invaded south florida, so i dunno

If people can walk around - and I don't mean this in a disrespectful way to religious people - and you believe the son of God came down to earth 2,000 years ago, and he killed himself for our sins, and he can walk on water, and there's a God up there looking after ourselves, and if you get on your knees and pray to him that things will change, if you can believe that, then you can believe that H2K can beat SSG one week from Saturday.
