Since all of the games are at the same time, should we actually separate out the LR's by stream? I'm just imagining it later, if a comment is too generic (example: DIRE TAKES A HUGE TEAMFIGHT! or LYCAN TAKES DOWN RAX!) it'll be hard to separate which game it's from. Also, it won't flow as well as you'll be seeing comments from various different games.



I think it was like this last year and there were just more comments for the bigger games, so it wasn't such a big deal. (I've forgotten. D: )

too many threads though D: that'd be 16 threads over four days, plus i guess most people will only watch 1 game at a time anyway, so any threads with less epic games will end up dead. this was the situation that we sort of learned with MLG Red and Blue streams back in the SC2 days - even if people were watching Blue games, they would post in Red thread anyway cos it was more active. hopefully just make your posts clear what you're talking about :D last year we had just one thread for the entire group stage, which is kinda dumb, hopefully having four this year would be better.

Haha yea definitely. I was thinking more of one for each stream for all days of the group stages, so just 4. However, I'm pretty sure no matter what, LR threads will always work as intended. :p Haha yea definitely. I was thinking more of one for each stream for all days of the group stages, so just 4.

opterown Profile Joined August 2011 Australia 12230 Posts #6 so, a few discussion points:



for each time slot, which match are you going to be paying most attention to?

which teams have the hardest opening day, and which ones have the breeziest one?

what's your upset to pick for the day?



and any more :D

I love when they start things off with a bang. Reminds me of how in TI2 right off the bat we had LGD vs. Zenith in Group A and iG vs. Na'Vi in Group B. I love when they start things off with a bang.

Oddball28 Profile Joined May 2013 Denmark 1883 Posts Last Edited: 2014-07-09 00:55:05 #11 I'd say Alliance has a pretty SICK opening day, I mean besides Arrow gaming, but lets be real here.



1st vs. iG

2nd vs. Titan

3rd. vs NewBee

4th vs Arrow

5th vs DK



Your facing the TOP 3 chinese teams. If you lose all those, that could hurt your morale a lot. Besides that they have to face the two malaysian teams, which I imagine they never played much or have much experience against. I feel like WinteR will be really usefull for Alliance here.



I must admit I haven't checked the others out, but this was just my first quick glance. I just noticed fnatic will run into DK, Newbee, Na'Vi, Na'Vi.NA and EG. Thats not exactly easy teams either.



Soo many good matches. In the first time slot I think from neutral perspective Alliance vs iG will be the biggest match. As DK follower i'll check them out tho. LaNm, Iceiceice, Mushi, BurNIng and MMY - DK 2013/2014 - What a ride it was...

but if alliance manages pull a win vs the 3 chinese teams .. Confidence will boost that's for sure. but if alliance manages pull a win vs the 3 chinese teams .. Confidence will boost that's for sure. this is a quote

GeneralStan Profile Joined August 2007 United States 1326 Posts #17 First group is a really good group of games



For the rest, I picked one marquee match up



Liquid vs NAR'Vi (because of that delicious NA history)

NewBee vs IG (two of the 3 best chinese teams)

Empire vs mouz (mostly because I think it will be a bloodbath)

Alliance vs NewBee (maybe I'm biased towards NewBee, but should be an interesting face off)

Na'Vi vs mouz (east vs west european showdown)

IG vs DK (any question on this one?)

Empire vs Na'Vi (CIS bloodbath please)

and finally

DK vs Alliance ( Poor alliance, all three top chinese teams in one day) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

sch0n Profile Joined January 2012 Norway 68 Posts #18 So Day 1 for me will be:

DK - Fnatic

break

Fnatic - Na`Vi

Fnatic - Na`Vi.US

Alliance - NewBee or Bed.

Bed. Or Na`Vi - mouz.

Bed... Yeah, definitely bed. It has to be.



Shit. I have to get to bed in a timely manner. Don't wanna get workfucked while this is going on. A tough test this is.



Hey-o! What's up, bitches!
