League of Legends: Let's Talk About uhhh??

Why do the Euro fans hate on the NA teams so hard?

I blame the money the NA players make from streaming solo queue for their pathetic showing. Any time an NA team looked like they had a chance to establish a lead they gave the game back to the other team by making small mistakes.

Azubu Frost look unbeatable. They jump on every tiny mistake their opponents make.
 
but they themselves can make mistakes - we haven't seen M5 falter to the extent that Frost did in the first 5-10 against iG, CLG and TSM. then again, m5 has only played 2 games this tournament so who knows

M5 made some really sloppy plays today though against iG. darien wasn't on his game at all and alex ich did some really stupid things early on in game 1. they completely pulled it together once teamfights started happening, but just saying that M5's been less than perfect in their first two games
 
just got trounced in fights by a khazix and a rengar that stacked 2 phages and a bonetooth as trist, wat do? one rengar ult>leapQ>Q and I'm half hp down with a GA, could not manage to knock him away before he did at least that


kha'zix isn't quite as bursty but can approach you a bit more directly
 
Just got LoL a few days ago, and it was definitely not dissapointing in the slightest.

I gotta say, I'm really having fun with Cho'goth and his feasting capabilities. It's fun watching him get to 4000 health and just stomping all over the enemy. But man, Warwick is not fun to play against. That Ult of his is just freaking scary....
 
warwicks ult is probably just about in my 5 scariest things that can happen in lol (screen getting darker and floating red thing above head being tied for number one). i should probably buy qss sometimes but all the warwicks i see are shit anyway so it's ok!

- WE lose Misaya in a botched invade on CLG's blue, allowing Snoopeh to take WE's red as well

Game Notes
- Despite an early deficit, ClearLove brought it back to zone yellowpete in most teamfights
- CLG's initiation comp failed to catch anyone of value, and exceptional play by Misaya and WeiXiao carried WE
- Wickd was at a disadvantage against CaoMei the whole game, as CaoMei took blue and hit level 2 before Wickd hit lane
- WE had a ridiculous vision advantage, with at least 25 wards bought by FZZF through the game
 
World Elite - FZZF (Blitzcrank) / CaoMei (Olaf) / WeiXiao (Corki) / ClearLove (Shyvana) / Misaya (Ryze)

- Game crashes. Remake happening soon, but the advantage before the crash was definitely in WE's favor.

Game Notes
- WeiXiao's mechanics shone early game, getting 112 creeps in 11 minutes despite playing extremely aggressively with the lane swaps, taking red buff at level 1, and zoning Froggen out for a good portion of the early game.

- COUNTER LOGIC GAMING EU WIN AT 55 MINUTES

Game Notes
- WeiXiao again displayed his excellent mechanical skill, performing the extremely difficult feat of out-CSing Froggen for the entire game and hitting 500 CS. His item build was interesting as well, rushing Ninja Tabi and later building Triforce, Aegis, and a QSS to ensure that he'd have the mid-game bulk to survive Wickd's Qs, Froggen's ult, and Snoopeh's ult.
- CloudLove completely threw the game twice, getting caught once and giving CLG a free Baron, and getting caught again a minute later, giving CLG a free push into WE's base.
- CLG.eu demonstrated why they're famous for their late-game, their ability to stall, and their amazing tenacity. In a style reminiscent of CLG's win over M5 from a 27k gold deficit, CLG turtled from a 1-9 disadvantage to a stunning victory.
 
Lol CLG EU got so lucky with that game reset.
I hear a lot of people saying this, and I think that's bullshit honestly. CLG was down 0-3 the first game but was down 1-9 the second game, and managed to come back from that, so it makes no sense to say that WE was at any kind of disadvantage from the reset or that CLG wouldn't have come back just as easily from the first game.
 

Crux

Banned deucer.
No. The difference is double AD carry Karthus in the second game actually wins late game as opposed to Renekton Cass who don't have the same disengage that CLG had to stall out the second game. WE was absolutely robbed.
