And then there were 4 teams, SK comes from behind to top TSG
In probably the most interesting week of this tournament, there are now 4 teams left and surprising results all around. Fnatic, Shuttlecocks, and SK came out victorious. TSG is still in the hunt, and awaits the winner of SC/Fnatic.

Score: 3-0
This match played out very similarly to SK-Gaming vs NMWF, with fnatic training the Elemental Shaman(Reegs) every game. It is pretty hard for 2345 to handle the Euro Comp setup whether the mage or shaman gets trained. Kudos for NWMF for participating in the tournament, looking forward to see them in future events! Good luck to fnatic, who will be facing Shuttlecocks, in the LB Semi-Finals. It will be a similar match to their first round vs CLC.
Shuttlecocks(2346) beats Capsclock Crew(2346) in a nail-biter
Score: 3-2
In a straight up mirror match, Shuttlecocks managed to outplay CLC in the 1 more match than the #1 seed in the tournament could handle. Inactive admitted into getting outplayed and maybe outgeared(Being that SC's paladin does have Illidan gear and theirs does not), still displayed great sportsmanship for it. Congradulations to Shuttlecocks and kudos to CLC! CLC did play a very hard schedule in this tournament being the #1 seed and being matched up with fnatic and TSG in the first two matches. Shuttlecocks will try to duplicate CLC's success vs fnatic in their next match.
SK-Gaming(Euro Comp) comes from behind to defeat Teh Supeh Gosus(Druid/Paladin)
Score: 3-2
In a very controversial match, SK-Gaming had to come back from 0-2 to win 3 straight over TSG. The 2nd match experienced some difficulties and forced the match to be finished two days after it started because of a dispute that needed to be handled by the admins. After the dispute landed SK in a very tight position at 0-2, they became determined to come out ontop and handled their business by defeating TSG in 3 straight games. TSG will now wait for the winner of fnatic/SC in the LB finals, SKGaming has a bye into the WB Finals.
A possible fnatic vs SK finals seems to be capable of happening, we'll see how the LB matches play out though. Congradulations to TSG, Shuttlecocks, fnatic, and SK for still being in the hunt. Good luck to you guys!

But, who cares, well played :)
Now that is perfect example of biased conclusion. They showed the were able to win 3-0 THE OTHER day. Nothing less, nothing more.
Far lamer to behave like a spoilt child. Every1 has dealt with PC or lag issues in big competitions. Few people throw insults around and behave like a toddler. As talented as they may be that attitude will do them no favours and lose them a lot of respect. If it were me I'd be encouraging an apology and acknowledgement that this kind of behaviour isn't what's expected of some1 trying to compete at the top of "e-sports".
Sure it's not something that's uncommon. Neither is it something that should be accepted just because it is common. Refs in football book players for abuse, there are many cases of players getting sent off for this. In fact there was a season where ref's wore microphones to hear the words like they do in rugby now. Tony Adams getting booked for calling the ref a "cheat" was the famous one from this.
You can't argue that this was a correct reaction to the problem, something like "lag" shouldn't have a player who's aiming to be an e-sports professional react in this way, no matter whether its caused by passion or anger, its wrong.
anyway pointless to argue :D SK is into the next round =) .. because they won the other 3 games =)
TSG got their win in the second game , there was no rematch.
And guess what happens when only one player sees a rain? ;P
Anyway good luck in the final SK! i hope you win as you have a very talented team.
"DO YOUR ******* RESEARCH JASI ITS 4-1 US, WE HAD THE LAG GAME WON THEY ARE OVERRATED BADDIES
even if you dont count that as a win it is comming back THREE TO ZERO. BTW TSG WAS THE FIRST TEAM WE HAVE EVER PLAYED AGAINST WITH THIS SET UP WHILE THEY HAVE MUCH MORE EXPERIENCE VS OURS..."

"People think we, and or SK are the ones who were fighting so hard for the replay b/c your all a bunch of retards like the people who read magazines to see what celebs are up to, all we did was tell trance about how he lagged and TRANCE WAS THE ONE WHO SAID ITS A REPLAY and when TSG refused Trance is the one who threatened to DQ. But since trance is a terrible admin along with all the others running this tourney they all contradict themselves and change their minds after making everyone believe something is gonna happen only to change their minds. This tourney is a joke, and TSG isnt anything special unless your a terrible and look up to people with high ratings like they are celebrities."

To be honest I had a blast reading his comments, they are simply so absurd. Perhaps you should seek professional help :)
Not even casuals would benefit anything out of reading those blogs.
TSG crying soo much about the rematch and then losing three games straight, its just hilarious XD
No wonder why they didnt want to replay it lol
Also, lag should never be a reason to replay a match. You lag, you lose...sorry.
This tournament should just be seen as a method to help motivate the best teams out there to start practicing again. It should be seen as friendly practice amongst the best teams.
No Kintt didn't influence it completely, it's complicated but those who know me know what exactly happened and couldn't of been avoided at the time being because I made a rushed decision while I was preparing for my online match versus WNMF.
I was reminded though of a related incident that I remember happening at WSVG dallas, our lag was so bad that the games were delayed by over half a day, then the admins just forced it on us to play through the lag. I remember pandemic playing this funny game of warrior/pal/priest vs rogue/mage/priest and just kiting the rogue around because he couldn't stay on his target. I guess that's what made me decide that if a game is blamed on a 'minor instance of lag' - the severity of lag issues should be addressed in the future, I think it's more appropriate to say that when tich lags, spikes and crash/burns then that's a proper example of a lagged game that needs to be replayed.
However, like what happened to Mykke, your internet spikes and it only changes a small timeframe moment in the match (say it happened in the beginning of a fight and didn't change the outcome, people could use that as an example) people could further abuse that rule by referencing the ruling of this game.
A rematch is fair, i dont see how all the whiner retards can look upon it as cheating or unfair.
Sk lost 2nd match due to lag at a bad moment ...
Sk Won 3 match
Sk won 4th match
Sk won 5th match , if thats not skillz whats it then ? luck ?
They clearly outplayed TSG the last 3 matches so explain how thats posible if TSG is better ?
SK won, grats to them for that, they played well, and we hope to see them again in the finals where we can get another chance at 'em.
P.S. WTFUX someone stole the name Zenoth...
