In what world do you think laz is the problem? Lmao

Yeah I heard about EggsQQ saying that about Saitama! After watching how close this series was I'm just glad that it seems that Japan as a whole region has really grown so much.

I've watched it grow from the beginning when the casters were sat in front of just a green screen and a questionable desk lol. To now Japan being able to make it to top 3 at internationals. It's been a great journey so far :)

Lol it's funny how you always have to be hostile in some form, so passive aggressive man. I watch the Japanese scene exclusively for 2 years. And turns out I was right, 2-1 in a close series, just wish it went the other way lol.

I'm glad that NTH seems to have improved from their international experience. They're executes are much cleaner than when they only had JP experience. I'm also glad that even with that experience, CR have shown improvement as well, I feel like they're gelling a bit better. They still have a good deal to go before being able to compete with Zeta I feel like, but I think they stand well within reach for the top.

Personally, as a long time fan of the Japanese scene, I'm just happy that Japan is growing at such a stellar rate. I think that's something that both of us can agree on, don't you think? :)

No need to be hostile. Like I said, I feel like NTH benefitted from the bad audio during the LAN. If you give that argument any weight than the true record is 1-1, but with a long history of CR beating NTH before that.

I also gave credit to NTH for being able to pick up international experience and that giving them alot of improvement. I also said that I could see the series going 2-1 in either direction, but as my flair suggests I have a slight CR bias so I give it to them. So I don't think it's delusional.

CR 2-1 NTH

I do feel like the bad audio at SSA gave NTH the upper hand. Due to not having great comms to begin with, they weren't that affected by not being able to hear each other. Historically CR have consistently beaten NTH outside of LAN, but NTH now has international experience. It'll be a close series and can see it being 2-1 in either direction really.

Well you're not wrong lol

It's not a good reason but if you look at the times of the matches you can see that the times are decent for both NA and Asian viewership. And the later games are all western hemisphere or EU games so asian viewership isnt as important.

I'm guessing they grouped everyone up based on timezones for the fans. Not a good excuse but I can see why they would do it.

The ultimate grudge match! C'mon CR you can do this, I want you guys to be at LAN again!

Damn Fisker was cold this series, didn't really stand out.

But it may be destiny for the Rejects to face CR for the ultimate revenge match hopium

I want to believe Rion was just having a bad series against North and will come back stronger! CR 2-1

Why they gotta make this so intense at 3 am :/

Oh man a rivalry old as VCT itself! People seemed to be sleeping on CR due to munchkin leaving but they failed to realize that Rion is a monster! He has constantly had above a 30% HS percentage in pretty much every game he's been in and his game sense and positioning are sublime. CR vs Nth always delivers but I hope my boys on CR take it this time around! CR 2-1

Zeta 2-0 but I can see a case for 2-1. Fisker has always been a question mark. If he shows up he is amazing but otherwise he can look rather average. He seems to struggle a bit against the better teams and stomps the weaker teams. Zeta just have such strong cohesion and strategies, hard to imagine them losing here.
