    It all will finish as Azubu-M5. TSM have no chance, Clg.Eu prolly can do something if they got a lesson from Azubu in Korea.

    WAtched most of it on stream.
    That Azubu vs Invictus game was edge-of-seat exciting, really a must watch.
    Shy (the singed) in Azubu vs SK won three areas by himself without leaving lane, great play!
    CLG.NA vs SK had that legendary win, though it was mostly a bad decision on SK's part. if they kept pushing the others wouldn't have been able to teleport, and if they decided to recall before actually pushing that far they could've fended it off.
    Froggen's farm in CLG.EU vs SAJ, how the hell does he do that o.o

    TSM, AF or M5 just these 3 teams can win no one else they are too far for other teams. I'm really disapointed about CLG.NA and SK but i still have hope in CLG.EU, i hate M5 because they're grom Russia and i'm from Poland so that is normal i hate them
