If ANX can beat H2k, I'll still be satisfied.

Amazing how large the gap between TSM and the other NA teams was.

For there to be such a "gap", TSM underperformed at Worlds then. I honestly don't think the gap between TSM and C9 is that major when looking at the teams on paper.
Impact/Hauntzer is a push at worst with edge probably to Impact.
Meteos/Sven is in favor of Sven.
Jensen/Bjerg is a very SLIGHT edge if any to Bjerg.
Sneaky/DL is a push as well, especially if Lucian isn't available. DL Lucian is stupid good.
Smoothie/Biofrost is all about which of them shows up. Worlds Bio left a lot to be desired and he got outplayed by a lot of other Supports. But he's good. Got a great foundation to grow from.

There is a more than slight gap between Bjerg and Jensen. Bjerg might be one of three best mods in the world, and there are plenty of players and analysts that have said so.

The gap between Summer 2016 Sven and Summer 2016 Meteos is huge. To quote Tate Martell Meteos is arse my dude.

DL at his best is better than Sneaky at his best (and Sneaky hasn't been at his best since 14)

TSM would have easily taken second if they could traded into C9's "worse" position in the draw.

Are you guys really arguing about which NA team sucks less?

I mean would you prefer we debate who is going to get to lose to SSG in the semis?

Lets debate which RNG team shows up tonight. If its the one we saw glimpses of do they beat SKT? I think they would give them a run for their money. I see 3-1 to either team

You clearly didn't watch the same games I did, then. TSM split with Samsung, roflstomping them in one game and having a 3k gold lead 25 minutes in the other. C9 wasn't even competitive. The fact that you think Bjergsen is only a slight gap between Jensen tell me all I need to know. You also don't address the massive ocean between the two teams in shotcalling and macro play, which is where TSM's lead over other NA teams is the largest. It's more than just who's on the roster.

Here's UH to tell us how going 3-3 in the group of death means you suck. Guess that means RNG sucks too. They even lost to an EU 3 seed.

Even if the "good" RNG shows up, I don't think they could 3-1 SKT right now. I also think groups, not playoffs, plays to RNG's strengths.

In groups teams are prepping for multiple opponents, which makes lane dominance a really big advantage. In playoffs, with a week to pick apart RNG's middling macro, I don't think they can get it done in a BO5.

I think 3-1 SKT. If RNG has actually figured out better macro it may be 3-2 RNG, but I think that's unlikely.

On a side note, this is a reason I think ROX will look at lot better now that groups is over.

Meh, NA sucked dick again at Worlds like I predicted 50 times over. Make all the excuses and blame group draws all you want, TSM choked. NA choked.

Move on.

All you did was blast the group and say TSM would get out easily predicting them first and trashing Samsung. LUL.

I dunno, I don't think it's fair to say "NA sucked dick" just because they don't run the table and destroy everyone.

C9 made it to quarters and TSM played 2 awful games on the last day. I don't think that means they aren't any good. They are certainly better than in years past.

NA has improved comparative to international competition.

Until it mattered and SSG rolled, as well as mediocre RNG from shitty (in his words) China.

NA's 4th placed team in summer beat EU's 1 seed twice and Korea's 1 seed once. C9 advanced out of a group with SKT in it, and TSM split with a Korean team and ended up going out on a tiebreaker in by far the hardest group in the tournament. TSM underperformed. There's no way around that. But to say NA "sucked" like usual is just you being retarded. But that's pretty commonplace. No one expected anything out of NA teams outside of TSM. TSM fell short but CLG and C9 performed much better than most thought.

Are you actually retarded? TSM had the lead 25 minutes into the game. Since when is that rolling?

Me being retarded oh you mean being dead on accurate yet again? They sucked dick. Get over it fanboy you were WRONG yet again.

Hyped up your team, they win one early BO1 against Samsung, you trash Samsung And RNG and China, look who makes it out of groups. Save the excuses for other fanboys that are as smart as a tree like yourself.
