End Series Notes -

TSM looked very scared and not playing their own game in games 1/2. If they had gone into this series, believing that they could win, thinking that they could win. They just might have. All the pressure and all the people who wrote them off could have been proven wrong. You can't go into matches, without believing you can win, even if it is unrealistic. Self-fulfilling prophecies and all that.

I hope that C9 takes games 3/4 of this series to heart and realize that NA has a great chance to win, if they play their game and not get drawn completely into Samsung Blue's style.

SSW should take game 3, and note that they can and do get cocky, and bring that knowledge into their semi-finals match and not let up in any of the matches.
