Open inhib does not matter when TSM can just take baron and end the game shortly afterwards. The open inhib was on a lane that TSM had just pushed up and taken a turret on, and TP was not up right away so Impact had to move to the baron area anyways to cover. The game was over.

So you force a fight that most everyone knows you can't win because of hte lack of dmg vs their super tanky team instead of at least try? That makes no sense.
Did Impact have TP? If he did he coujld have easily tp'd in to take inhib and then recalled back to base after. If not he could have simply went up there while his team baited near baron with reksai's poke or jihn w to keep TSM occupied without engaging them directly.

Doublelift has obviously been workshopping that burn for a week.

Sometimes you just wonder what the hell the players are thinking. Why would you even go anywhere near baron in that situation? Guess the pressure got to them.
GG TSM. 4th NA LCS title. 3rd for Bjergsen. 2nd for Doublelift (one with CLG). 1st for Biofrost, 1st for Hauntzer, 1st for Svenskeren.
Shame Meteos' Zac didn't work out after a good start. Competitive jungle is beyond boring right now.
Impact was the stand out player of the series IMO - TSM were just so dominant in jungle and mid after game 1 he couldn't do enough. Svenskeren bullied Meteos hard, forced a lot of fights, and made such a smart read on Jensen at the start of game 5. He did a lot more than I expected. Let's see if he can hold up at Worlds.
C9 have to beat either NV or Liquid, then IMT to make Worlds. They've got a week to recover, but they'll need to put in a big effort to get over this loss quickly to do it.

I think IMT is the better team and would do better at Worlds.
Taking the inhib and teleporting back provides no advantage when TSM has huge push power to end the game. Trying to defend after TSM takes baron only makes the situation harder for C9 because there is no opportunity to potentially catch someone out around the pit, or take advantage of TSM being grouped in pit. TSM can and will force a fight with baron+a huge drake bonus to end the game, so the dice is best rolled where you have at least a tiny chance of something going wrong for TSM. But again, TSMs open inhib was bot lane, which they had pushed up to C9s base, even if you do want to entertain the notion that Impact should have tried to split. There was nothing to TP to and no way to get a fast push going.
The game was over before the last teamfight.

Completely disagree on the rules being fucked up. Having points makes the spring split actually worth it for teams to try.
?
rules are fair
immortals placed 3rd twice
c9 played 5th on spring and now 2nd
clg won spring and is now 4th
winning a tournament should matter which is why it's alright for clg to go to worlds
the other teams should fight it out, it's alright

Punish improvement the riot way
???????????????
tsm went from 2nd to 1st, their improvement was rewarded with going straight to worlds
clg went from 1st to 4th, their actually winning something got rewarded with points and they went relevant enough on summer split which gave them enough points to go straight to worlds
immortals always choked when it mattered, so they get to battle it out on the gauntlet to go to worlds
c9 improved on a really bad spring split, they could've gone straight to worlds if they had improved enough to win the finals, but since they lost they still have their shot on the gauntlet
the fuck r u talking about lol
yup

CLG also did the best an NA team has ever done at an international competition against a bunch of very tough teams at MSI (minus G2). They got TSM a No. 1 seed at Worlds. They deserve this and will definitely not be pushovers once they are there.

I'm pretty happy with the current system they have. They get the current hottest team, the most consistent performing team (or second if that's also the current hotness, as with TSM right now), and whoever beats out those that remain.
That gives you the best chance of getting the best teams in play, rather than having a team that's consistently performed well but dropped one bad series on an unfamiliar patch get eliminated, for example.
Like, the final three is likely to be TSM, CLG, and Immortals. Unless you're just a diehard C9 fan, I don't see how you could really find fault with that, meritoriously speaking. If C9 clutches it out maybe I could see Immortals fans (do those still exist?) complaining.

NA's true way to get a team into the semi-finals at Worlds.
No? He lost to CLG in the finals in spring.
Then I'm confused by your comment

I think he either edited what he said as I quoted him or I meant to comment on something different. Or I misread what he said, I thought it said something about "lol CLG still got to Worlds" at some point.

It's funny because if Lyon wins tomorrow vs Albus nox Luna, the rest of the games are irrelevant since the other games outcomes won't affect the standings.
I am really gkad INTZ got second, i want them and Lyon to go to worlds.

Reddit wouldn't be able to stop circle jerking about 'hue hue TL 4th' long enough to meltdown.

I've started noticed the yelling is getting a lot more awkward. Like screaming and weird noises. Also they throw around that so and so is a God after completely average plays.

DoubleLift was beautiful that fight in particular. His Lucian really optimized damage output to the max.

Fabbyy left as well, RIP Liquid, couldn't survive losing 4th place.
considering that dardoch was known to troll and rage on scrims and shit i don't think that's such a bad idea
specially since he played really poorly on playoffs
fabby just felt like a pretty average player, so idk, i don't think he'll be that hard to replace
honestly the liquid roster hasn't been super strong in like forever, even with piglet they weren't much
it kind of sucks for them cos they don't have anyone to build their team around, matt, lourlo or fenix aren't star players (like huni/reignover) and don't seem to be natural leaders (like aphromoo), so they'll need to find players that can fill both slots
maybe santorin could be one, he looked really good last time he played on nrg. they could import someone for adc i think
