I guess Sword gave up either 60 or all 120 circuit points due to roster changes, so with KT Arrows advancing, it basically guarantees that 2 of the 3 Worlds slots are the Winner of Samsung White/SKT K and Samsung Blue

K can snipe White if White finishes 4th, Blue has something like 95% equity to make worlds right now, they have to lose, K needs to lose, White needs 3rd or better, and K needs to outperform them in NLB

has Kassadin ever lost an elimination game?

Damn I forgot this was today, I wanted to put money on white. Timezone is going to suck for worlds.

White stomped the **** out of K, only the cheese comp took a game.

funny thing is if you made Zilean unable to be banned K probably 3-0s no way White was ready for that, but you get to change bans and game 2 was close, 3/4 not so much

White basically only needs to not get 4th to lock up Worlds, Blue just needs to beat JinAir to lock up their slot

Blue vs White World Final is quite likely, I think they'd have to get cockblocked(again lol) by playing the Semis for it to not happen, they are a step above the rest right now

SKT K still a massive favorite to qualify for Worlds and quite likely the #3 team in the world, for sure top 5 no team in NA/EU is close to them despite suspect splits in Spring/Summer

It's pretty crazy that white and Skt K have met in the last 5 ogn seasons, white leads 3-2 and is only team in world with winning record vs them

K did have some bad results lately in groups(though getting 2-0d by blue isn't too bad)

They do have major problems with Piglet and Impact's champ pool, it's pretty crazy how elite pros can get nerfed into mediocrity, good chance kog and trist get nerfed preworlds or piglet has time to get to world class on them

It's pretty hard to fault piglet the last 2patches are the only patches in s3 or 4 where trist and kog were high priority

can't believe Blue actually tried hard vs White today, if White won they locked up Worlds and Blue already has their worlds slot locked in

White still needs to lose vs SKT S, or a tiebreaker vs STK K(CJ Frost can make today's loss irrelevant by beating SKT K tomorrow) to open themselves up for missing worlds

I think KT Arrows or Najin Shield could win a best of 5 vs White but will probably be 4/1 underdogs or so

Blue even showed off Maokai top for some crazy reason, keep that **** in the pocket until you play a real match ffs

so SKT K got 1st in NLB and tied Samsung White so they have a playoff for the 2nd auto-worlds slot

Likely pretty even if Bo1 or Bo3, White a decent favorite in Bo5. Not sure what the format is for the tiebreaker.

Loser goes into 3rd seed which means facing the winner of the Bullets(lol)/Shield/Arrows playoffs which will likely be Arrows.

Arrows vs SKT K is probably 70/30 SKT K
Arrows vs White is probably 85/15 White

Arrows went close 5 games vs SKT S and White completely destroyed them in 3 so 15% might be optimistic. Shield is probably 5-10% vs either. Bullets might win 1 game if they get to play 50.

"walker texas rengar skin" is prob the best/funniest thing DOA has said throughout his whole casting career (i'm including SC2 here as well).

that says something.

it saddens me that he seems to be trying to emulate tasteless a lot, where the most annoying thing about tasteless to me was his utter lack of game knowledge/game insight while commenting and his neverending anecdotes/jokes etc. got really old, really fast

I know thats a joke, but phreak actually is a legit D1 player and has decent game knowledge.

Riv/Quickshot on the other hand....

Are the ranks of all the casters known?
OGN Champions Summer 2014 Quote

Europe:

Deman - unranked. ( only played ranked in s1 ), only plays arams now.
Joe Miller - was gold last season, unranked this.
Deficio - Diamond 2
Sjokz - Platinum V
Quickshot - gold last season, unranked atm.


NA:

Phreak - Diamond 1
Kobe - Diamond 1
Jatt - Diamond 1
Zirene - Diamond 4
Rivington - Gold 4

That explains why they chose the NA casters to play the Doom bots

Isnt this proof enough that your ELO has nothing to do with your ability as a caster?

The EU casters are so much better than the NA ones despite being mediocre players.

Also Riv is the only NA caster dumb enough to not buy a diamond account

it does effect how good you are at colour casting, for play by play it doesn't seem to matter, but seeing quickshot as a gold last season makes sense when you hear the "analysis" he has
OGN Champions Summer 2014 Quote
08-13-2014 , 01:23 AM
also rivington has got to be the nut low caster

hes got a nice voice, and doesn't stumble on words, but hes just ******ed, hes just a straight up bimbo that doesn't have any understanding of how the game works
OGN Champions Summer 2014 Quote
08-13-2014 , 01:50 AM
Yeah rivington is brutal, he needs to be replaced, but since he won't he needs to be the guy who leads the analysis desk for worlds and speak as little as possible.
