i genuinely don’t get my tl one day everyone’s bitching about ewc, the next they’re live-tweeting it then ‘it’s don’t shame people for watching’ bc every org has shady ties, then it’s a mickey mouse tournament when their team loses and suddenly legit when they win
"why should blg and hle more tired than t1?"
yeah i dont know man hanwha playing back to back bo5s and winning BOTH on silver scrapes, then flying across the fucking globe, sitting their jetlagged ass again to play probably wont affect their mental state. sure.
also people using last year as a reason don't realize that the msi finals was on the 13th and the start of the quarterfinals (the winner's first match) was on 18th. idt people understand what an extra ~4 days can do compared to a literal fly in just hours after the finals.
Don't get me wrong I'm really happy for T1 to finally beat HLE and we got so fun matchups, but this EWC has been one of if not the worst international tournament I've watched in my life.
I wouldn't even blame the players if they said they'd rather just go home.
i know how easy it is to get ragebaited but at the end of the day, we are fans of this team. we are quite literally the ones to support them through all loss and wins. it is better to channel all our energy in keeping our community healthy and in supporting our boys 🍊
I'm seeing the kr fans being cool about this loss. The difference when this team loses and when that team loses is night and day. The hate on my team comes from the haters. The hate on that team comes from their own fans. (Coming from experience)
No matter what some haters will try to claim don’t be bothered by them, HLE has been working very hard since the last split to reach 1st place after earning it rightfully and to win MSI they went through a tough road as well but they succeeded and their hard work got rewarded
