it's gonna be sad to have no Madlife at worlds but there's a ton of other good Korean teams too, and up-and-coming teams don't really have a chance due to the circuit points.
mafa is looking like the next madlife anyways, i'm not too sad to see the latter knocked out this year especially after his nami games ~_~
Honestly despite the very crisp plays we've seen from the korean teams, I think they're a bit overhyped. It's great that every other region is looking up to them to enhance their play, but if they aren't willing to have faith in themselves then they'll forever remain in the shadow of the Koreans and never improve. And then when korea completely takes control of league it'll probably not be fun anymore.
man I really wish we could just send 6 Korean teams and only 1 NA team and 1 EU team, does anyone really care about watching a bunch of pasties get beat in 20 minutes?? it's gonna be sad to have no Madlife at worlds but there's a ton of other good Korean teams too, and up-and-coming teams don't really have a chance due to the circuit points. I mean imagine if crapbag TSM got grandfathered into a spot at LCS because they won the spring split when we all know what will really happen is they get 2-0'd by CLG.
. This is the WORLD championships not the KOREAN circle jerk championships. Do you know why New Zealand qualified for the World cup? Because its the WORLD cup. Madlife might not make it? Well same can be said for Froggen, who happens to be Madlife's favourite player.ah clearly you do not go on irc to see my complaints about how bad fnatic is and how eg should've gone to worlds. fnatic trash team about to leave 0-3 sucknoobs. lemondogs will choke on the world stage 100% pressure too much. gambit isn't the same without Edward, genja's true love, will never work out.
na teams to go 0-9 or whatever combination of losses they can muster except clg will cheese fnatic out of a win in true backdoor-the-Spaniard form.
Who even cares, Krepo isn't going. I was sad MaKNooN wouldn't get to reunite with his CLG.EU bros, but now none of them are attending so I'm just going to be emo all worlds.
I don't really care to see which region is more dominant or whatever anymore, I'm more interested in the different metas meeting and seeing how the regions react to each others' picks, which is something I missed a lot about international competition.
Oh and rip RapidStar =/ I wanna see Frost go to Worlds as well, so I guess our hopes now ride on Ganked By Mom.
maybe im misreading this but werent byes only handed out to teams that won something @allstar? (by that I mean every region except EU).
