Like usual, WARNING: SPOILERS
Hey S@20, Seranaya here with a short update about the weekend tournaments. What a fantastic weekend filled with great match-ups between the best of the best! Gamescom in Cologne, Germany has ended and we now have our teams that are qualified for the Season 2 championship in LA from Europe. The top 3 placed teams have also earned a spot in the newly revamped season 3 by Riot Games.
Who are these top 3 European teams you ask? Continue reading to find out!
Why, they are exactly who was predicted to win before the tournament even started!
1st: Moscow 5
2nd: SK Gaming
3rd: CLG.eu
Moscow 5 have had a fantastic showing all weekend with their intensely coordinated play styles and teamwork.
SK Gaming and, specifically, Ocelote (AP mid) had a fantastic reaction to qualifying for the season 2 championships and season 3! Check the video below to see it, it's very touching.
Here are the VODs I found for you all to watch the TSM invitationals!

SK Gaming winning second place at Gamescom 2012
Along with the awesome games over at Gamescom, Team SoloMid held their 7th TSM Invitationals this weekend. Throughout the day Saturday and then all day today also, teams battled it out for a chance to win first place! TSM played well all weekend until a match vs Curse. They got DDOS'd at the gaming house that forced them to forfeit the match. They were moved into the losers bracket where they won their way back in against Orbit Gaming. In the finals matches vs Curse, Curse took the first game with great play and coordination. TSM tied it up during the second game with a great comeback.
The third game was a great early game for TSM! Curse attempted a four man push very early against TSM Reginald's (playing Ryze) mid tower around 9 minutes 30 seconds. With TheOddOne (playing Skarner) there to support, they got a kill on Curse's SaintVicious (playing Rammus). Another great kill was scored with the ever-aggressive Reginald who flashed after a slightly over-extended Vladimir played by Curse's Westrice. TSM takes the 3rd game and moves on to the second best of 3!
Sorry about the mistake here everyone, I forgot about the last BO3 and went to bed before it started. So I missed the games, I do however know that support Fiddlesticks is obviously OP.

ReplyDeleteTSM haven't won yet :| It's two best of three, since TSM is from losers bracket.
ReplyDeleteOh oops! I didn't realize! I'll change it, I went to bed after the first bo3 ><
Deletei think that last 1,2,3 is wrong.....
ReplyDeleteYep I realize that now. Sorry everyone! :c
Deletecan u please add videos of some of these matches or links 2 places where we can see them? this post doesn't have much "additional info". i love the new content on surrender at 20 but i just want more
ReplyDeleteI always have to wait a bit for VODs to be posted, but I will, definitely.
DeleteYeah TSM came from the Losers Bracket sooo theres another Bo3, and they're losing at this moment...
ReplyDeleteCurse just won it so you gotta change that now :p
ReplyDeleteIt's been changed >_>
Deleteyou heard about lissandra?
ReplyDeletemorello asked about the 3 sisters of freljord, and the name of that one who isn't 'a champion yet'. someone in the audience mentioned her name, and
morello revealed they are currently working on her lore.
and in match 2 vs m5 ocelote was seen on the big screen flaming his teammates and shouting 'f this f this' repeatedly.

Ocelote and Araneae are Spaniards (like me). We are passionate people. ;)
fk u ALL Spaniards. . .
ReplyDeleteActually is funny how you say support Fiddlesticks is "op" when M5 actually kinda stomped TSM in the past exactly with support Fiddlesticks (played by a sub named XL something, can't remember- Gosu had internet problems).
ReplyDeleteERRR...sorry what is DDO?
ReplyDeleteu got me there
DDoS stands for distributed denial-of-service. It's an attack on a computer or a group of computers. It's like the attack sends so many messages to the computers and they can't handle it so they shut down. That's a very simple definition because I am, by no means, good with computers in that way. Hope that helps. C:
DeleteThank you...maybe next time i wont be anonymous anymore
