I as a fan respect C9's decision to tank their elo.

It may seem risky, but I applaud C9's confidence in themselves to be able to win out vs the easier teams in the tournament. By dropping their first 2 maps they essentially guaranteed they would dodge the top teams in the event. Just goes to show how much confidence this roster has knowing that if they lose 1 more map they are eliminated, knowing this they still chose to start 0-2 and understand they can easily winout from here.
Once again Stewie shows his prowess as an IGL and outplays the Eleague format by guaranteeing an easy road to 3 wins and a major spot.

E-League live is incredible!
http://live.eleague.com/
It was mentioned on the Twitch stream, so I checked it out. Wow. You can watch POV cams of any player you choose, along with the main stream if you want. As someone who likes to learn from certain pro players, this is just awesome.
Thought I'd post it here!

Cloud 9 has dropped 5 players in this match.

3 of those were alive in critical situations. This is unacceptable for a decider in a major qualifier. What makes it even worse, is how 2 ALIVE players dropped in a SINGLE round making it a 3v5 buy round.
