Two teams from each group, a total of 16 teams, will advance into the second group stage, which will be played as a round robin BO2. The final phase will follow after that, with the eight best teams reaching the BO3 playoff stage.

China is worse than game paradise. They have already proven to us that they can deliver one of the worst living condition to the players. I'm sure they will go beyond that.

Not worse than Gaming Paradise, Rush saud that the initial Hotel told WESG they wouldn't accomodate one Person, so they had to improvise on the spot with hundreds of ppl arriving. So they booked one big Hotel to not have split up accomodations. Sadly the Hotel they picked was bad, so they moved them to a good one

Serioulsy, like 4 teams withdrew from the tournament and they don't put the other teams in one group or reseed everything? Meanwhile you have a group with Big, SK, Russia and other random, another group with Belgium, Wololos, Vici and other Aus team, and then you have a group where Max and Order will advance automatically? Really shitty, China, really shitty.

Bet you and all of your relatives and friend never went to China due to all the western media shits you read everyday. Poor 3rd worldie getting rob everyday by the retarded democratic system created by the americans and jews to control the world while China did nothing to you. Continue sucking western power's dick and eat whatever they feed to your 3rd world ass.

2018-03-13 08:19

Agreed that people here have huge misconceptions about china and asia in general, but theres no need to get mad. That guy is likely to be baiting anyways.
