Not a big fan of groups having their own days tbh..
2016-01-12 19:17:37
People always ask for BO3 groups and this is more or less what happens when you do that. It might be better to have each day have half the matches from each group instead though if that is what you are saying.
2016-01-12 19:25:16
I'm all for bo3 groups and i don't mind the group stages taking two days, but why not have a day for opening games for both groups? Play the tournament one stage at a time, instead of finishing one group before even starting another.
2016-01-12 19:32:43
nice
2016-01-12 19:17:39
Looking forward to CyberZen vs Na´Vi, let's go chinaaa :D
2016-01-12 19:18:54

2016-01-12 19:31:36
Maniac would both coach envy and analyse?! Wew
2016-01-12 19:34:08
M-m-maniac!!!
2016-01-12 19:34:50
EZ LG
2016-01-12 19:35:48
G2 vs LG will be the only interesting match on the first day. Unless CyberZen gets an upset.
2016-01-12 19:37:45
Maniac rly? isn´t he coach for envy?
2016-01-12 19:38:59
RIP TITAN :c
2016-01-12 19:43:28
Group A is kinda weak
2016-01-12 19:44:18
EZ Fnatic
2016-01-12 19:45:17
Omg this groups are not fear...
2016-01-12 19:46:16
whoever made this groups must be a braindead retard.
2016-01-12 19:48:41
What is wrong with them?
2016-01-12 19:52:29
are you kidding me?

you dont put the two finalists of the last major in one group.

swap g2 with envy or fnatic and the groups are fine.
2016-01-12 20:16:38
The only reason for nV being there is because they took Methods spot which would put them in that group.
2016-01-12 20:44:40
and thats the excuse for having the 2 worlds best teams in one group, alongside with tqm..
instead of simply adjusting the groups accordingly, the starseries org wants the best matches to be played out in groupstages..

still braindead.
2016-01-12 21:23:11
It was methods spot the groups were already announced before method withdrew.it would he a little bs to the teams that they suddenly have to face another opponent after thy were already announced of their opponent
2016-01-13 00:37:44
i tell you what bs is:
to work as an organizer who looses money, sponsors and thousands of viewers, because the strongest teams play each other in group stages during the week when people work,study or simply dont have time.



2016-01-13 13:19:05
braindead
2016-01-12 20:48:20
Those were some Ukrainian shitheads, so you are right.
2016-01-13 09:12:21
No pala, tnx god.
2016-01-12 19:50:06
Navi vs Cyberzen will have more viewers than g2 vs LG for sure :D
2016-01-12 20:00:50
