Gonna be a sick season, GoSu even with no big names is one sick team.

Dignitas/fnatic/sixjax fiasco... for people who don't know. Dignitas and sixjax were fighting for a playoff spot and only way to get it for Dignitas was to beat fnatic. If they lose, sixjax gets the playoff spot. Since fnatic had a guaranteed playoff spot, they put a douche-Xeris to play so Dignitas had an easy win. Sixjax felt they were betrayed and I agree with that. How the HECK is that a douche move? Maybe they thought they would fare better against DIGNITAS over SIXJAX. It's called thinking ahead on the brackets and strategizing WHO you want to play against. If they feel betrayed then they know absolutely NOTHING about strategy in team leagues. Honestly, I feel like they are the douches for blaming their OWN losses on others. Maybe if they practiced more they would have been in the playoffs already but they didn't at the time. Absolutely no respect.

Oh the sadness of another EG master cup without team liquid....

wtf does this have to do with Dignitas....
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. I believe you mean Complexity.
As well, Team Liquid chose not to participate. Sure, one can argue whether tournaments should do the cross-server thing. But this is EG's tournament, EG is putting up the cash for it, they can run it how they like (obviously assuming the rules are equally enforced). I don't know why people blame EG for Liquid not participating.

Was there any way for teams to apply for this? I know our team can easily compete competently for this event, but I didn't see any formal way we could apply ):
Scoots man, we played TF2 together, you shoulda told me about this~
edit: There were qualification rounds? Damn, I never saw or heard of them, when was this D:

YAY! I love EG! And Sir Scoots!

The quals was held the week or 2 after the final with an announcement here on TL.

Don't start with the 'No Liquid' crap again. Exactly the same as last season, they feel like they can't participate under the conditions given by EGMC. Which probably has something to do with playing on KR server for Jinro and Huk.
It's no1's fault, TL just doesn't want to play with this ruleset and EG doesn't want to change them for one team. Nothing important.

There was a 24 hour application period iirc.
Anyway, what about Nani and Thorzain, will they play from Korea?

Empire finally get into another clan league!
...right after losing one of their best players again
Oh well, still got a decent roster and last I checked they had a solid 2v2 team (even if I'm really disappointed to see 2v2 still in this).
|
The 2v2 element is bad but I am excited to watch some quality games.

Not sure tho.

Hmmm, looking forward to this. itsgosu seems like a slightly weird choice. Gonna be interesting to see what they can do.

did you actually read the announcement in the op?
[my money is on no.]
the teams weren't picked, they had to go through qualification.

I didn't really pay attention to the last cup besides an ace match or two, and since the format is the same I doubt that will change for this season.
Again it's a shame that TeamLiquid are not participating again, but at least there is little to no drama about it this time.
Why can't you just go back to the old format? But put PuMa as the final boss instead of IdrA to win the MSI laptop. It was much more fun than watching the same team scrub members being played or the really bad 2v2 games.

Can't wait to see how SixJax does in this event, be a nice test to see if there giving it there all. Love EG Masters Cup, DjWheat=best caster alive! :D
