Absurd Minds

Just... Wow.

TSM gets destroyed by NiP, not expected. Fnatic gets out early, not expected. Then NiP performs the worst they have in a looong time against Na'Vi...

What is happening?

Well nip refuses to adapt to the meta. This has been well established for years. I'm glad to see it's finally punishing them.

To be fair, I didn't watch any nip games because I don't like watching them for this very reason, so maybe that's not why they played so poorly.

I don't thing that this was a bad tournament at all. Just because some favored teams got out early doesn't mean is was bad. I acually thing the major upsets were very entertaining to watch. Navi finally making it to the finals and fanatic not dominating everything.

I love upsets. It makes it worth watching. Who wants to watch Fnatic or NiP win every tournament (not me). I want to be awestruck, not to be predictable.

I didn't get to see all the matches, but every single match I watched was unbelievably good. So many overtime or double overtime matches. So many teams that no one expected to do good played out of their minds. So many amazing plays by good or even not so good players would get clutches out of no where. I loved this tournament. In fact this might have been one of my favorite tournaments I have watched. I am excited to see more teams that are using aggressive or even semi-aggressive CT side strats actually be able to compete and even win. I can see changes in the meta happening with this tournament and that excites me. I watched a lot of people get their asses kicked by playing too conservative and sitting in sites just waiting. I don't know, I just enjoyed the shit out of it.

What I really by disappointing is the shear amount of upsets there have been this tournament.

The games were incredibly fun to watch. G2 and Envy going 25:21 was incredibly entertaining.

I think this was the most interesting tournament yet. I love seeing new teams in the finals rather than the same 4 every year.
