honestly this is pretty much what i said before,
mty mym and fnatic is like rock paper scissors but i have a solution to end all debates.

they should have a 3 team tourny ( mtw mym fnatic ). they play eachother on all 4 major maps ( train nuke dust2 inferno ) - and who ever has the most wins at the end of the day is #1.
1st place gets a gazillion dollars + some more goddies
2nd place gets tiny ribbons
3rd place team gets murdered ( that way these 3 teams can never again beat eachother back to back like rock paper scissors )

but what attax doing there :!

this "any top team can beat each other on any given day" is crap right now. if that was the case then how come the same two teams played each other in the finals of the last two really big international tournaments with the same winner both times

roccat > mouz > attax fo sho


#25, maybe u should watch more than last 5 games only and u would see that roccat clearly > mouz. and bo1 is more random than bo3, everyone knows that, which one of them won bo3?

and u only mentioned about bad tournaments that roccat had, why not good ones? whys that

roccat also been better than fnatic lately. this clearly didnt went fairly.

would been awesome to see

mTw
mYm
roccat
fnatic

alternate just.. isnt on their level :/

I have no idea what Alternate is doing there, but oh well. mTw and fnatic are the two top teams, MYM is good but has to bring their a-game and Alternate is a team that tends to surprise everyone (remember WSVG 2006?), so it should be a good tournament.

I'm gonna say:
1. mTw
2. fnatic
3. Alternate
4. MYM
