Go check what sarcasm is about...

2017-06-19 23:27

what?

2017-06-20 15:15

there is a difference between sarcasm and irony..

2017-06-20 20:41

sarcasm is using irony, i was being sarcastic

2017-06-20 21:04

What is fpl showmatch?

E Z F O R A S T R A L I S

so basically all the good teams in group A, and as usual astralis paid organisers to be in the easy group (only way for them to secure out of groups)

Hope you are being sarcastic if you not you should really learn how seeding works

2017-06-19 17:36

Srsly tho random NA online results gave us uneven groups again

2017-06-19 18:25

I mean yeah but that is not astralis or the tournament providers fault if anything blame sk for losing to c9

2017-06-19 20:03

Yeah, I reacted mostly to first part of his comment. Btw G2 and astralis were really close I think, they could have had swapped places, if not for a few unlucky rounds.

2017-06-19 20:37

Of course they could

2017-06-19 21:26

C9 will go out in Groups again

2017-06-19 16:59

Astralis in joke group Ez finals

2017-06-19 17:01

Astralis always get the easier group in every tourney

5 hardest groups in a row - no one cares. 1 easy group - ooooh luck. 2 easy groups in a row - "Astralis always get the easier group in every tourney"

2017-06-19 17:29

Well, not topping the league can have its advantages.

2017-06-19 22:01

optic bout to get gangbanged

2017-06-19 17:05

Lmao FaZe top seed, group of death nice. Ez4FaZe regardless <3

2017-06-19 17:10

sk allways get in the group with VP,Navi,G2,Faze,North and shitstralis are every time in the easy group

2017-06-19 17:18

true, pure luck prolly but still sad :/

2017-06-19 17:56

Luck? Doubt it. You have to learn how seeding works.

there was luck involved. g2 and astralis were seperated by just a few rounds (round difference) and they got the easier group. but still, stupid system :/

2017-06-20 02:08

Ez4G2

damn too many lans

2017-06-19 17:24

2017-06-19 17:49

group A is sick

2017-06-19 18:00

I really want to know how they split the groups. How the fuck can you have the 2 teams that finished 1st in their region compete with each other in the same group? This is fucking stupid.
