North American Regional Qualifiers Preview

Arguably the best 8 teams from North America. Only 3 spots for the Season 2
Championship. Some of the most important matches in these players’ careers.
All of that from 30 August till 2 September at PAX Prime in Seattle.

無庸置疑的美服八強隊伍中  本周就要在PAX Prime決出三名參加s2最終冠軍賽的名額



The Chinese and European representatives for Season 2 Championship have
already been chosen and now it’s time for the North American teams to fight
to the death for the chance to join them in the epic conclusion of the
season. The stakes for these teams have never been so high considering the
fact that the top 3 spots will also receive an invitation for the Season 3
Championship Series which means being a salaried team for a year and
participating in the making of eSports history itself, so let’s have a more
detailed look on them.

反正就是陸服和歐服都已經決定了  下面介紹一下美服這次的八個隊伍


The North American arch rivals
北美戰區的主要對手

Being two of the oldest NA teams and usually being considered the most
successful ones on top of that,  Team SoloMid and  Counter Logic Gaming have
always been the equivalent of the El CLassico in the NA League of Legends
scene. Their fans have always been on edge with each other, the banter
between both the players and their fan base never seem to end.

Team SOLOMID和 CounterLogicGaming，這兩隻老牌的美服戰隊，被認為是最可能挺進
北美區決賽的組合。這兩支隊伍的爭鬥和粉絲強力後盾看來永不止息。


Coming into this tournament though there are obvious differences between the
two teams. TSM have been on top of the NA scene since IPL 4 in April and the
only offline event they lost since then was the MLG Summer Arena, where
 Azubu Blaze took them by surprise with superior strategies and teamplay. On
the other hand CLG have spent most of that time in South Korea, competing in
the Azubu The Champions tournaments and scrimming against their fellow
European team and all the strong Korean teams. While that probably helped
them learn a lot of new strategies and the NA teams don’t know exactly what
to expect from CLG, it also didn’t allow them to play against those teams
that they will face at PAX and they can be taken by surprise as well.

從一系列的大賽看來這兩隻隊伍已經有了顯著的不同，TSM在四月的IPL4之後就一直盤據
著NA的TOP1。他們輸掉的唯一一場線下賽事是MLG SUMMER Arena，令人意外的輸給了擁有
獨特戰術和隊伍配合的Azubu Blaze。另一隻隊伍CLG則是花了非常多的時間在南韓訓練，
在Azubu The Champions賽事中競爭，並且時常和他們的EU隊伍以及強力的韓國戰隊團練，
這點可能會讓CLG.NA學到很多NA隊伍還沒有發覺的meta，其他的NA隊伍永遠都搞不清楚CLG
會帶來怎麼樣的比賽。此外，在韓國訓練也讓CLG很久都沒有和這些會在PAX見面的隊伍對
戰了，看來他們肯定會帶來許多驚喜。
(= = CLG永遠都是驚奇箱阿XD)



Most people expect both TSM and CLG to qualify for the Championship without
much trouble but upsets can always happen. They’ll have to bring their A
game and make no mistakes as the single elimination format is highly
unforgiving. And if they both get to the final game… well, we’ll be in for
a treat for sure.

絕大多數的人預測CLG跟TSM會輕鬆挺進決賽，不過太陽底下沒有新鮮事，他們必須打出
最好的表現、減少失誤才行。




The battle for 3rd place  第三名之爭

Just like in the European Regionals we have yet again 3 very good teams and
if we assume that TSM and CLG are as strong as expected, only 1 of these 3
will be able to qualify for the Season 2 Championship.  Dignitas and  Dynamic
will meet each other in the first round and one of them will have to leave
the tournament immediately after that match. The youngsters gave a lot of
trouble to Dignitas at MLG Raleigh but it should also be noted that they may
have hided their best strategies who would have given them an edge in the
series. One thing is for sure - it will be a very interesting match that can
go either way.  Team Curse on the other hand seems stronger than ever. If the
disqualification from Raleigh didn’t affect their mindset, they are probably
the favourites for that 3rd spot, but I have to repeat myself – anything can
happen in single elimination.


跟歐洲區決賽一樣，大家都預測最終三名頂尖隊伍之二是TSM和CLG。換言之，只剩下一個
名額是開放競爭的。Dignitas和Dynamic將會在第一輪就相遇，而輸的必須馬上打包回府，
年輕的Dynamic在MLG Raleigh中給Dignitas帶來了不少麻煩，不過這也意味著他們可能藏
了一手...唯一可以肯定的是這絕對會是一場非常有趣的比賽。

另外一隻令人期待的隊伍是Team Curse，他們看來比過去都還要強勁許多。如果在Raleigh
的drama沒有嚴重影響他們的心情，Curse很有可能是第三名出線的隊伍。不過我必須重申
一次，在單淘汰的賽制下什麼都可能發生。




The “underdogs” – a battle for honour and at least $10 000
遺珠  為榮譽和$10000的決鬥

Considering the tough battles for better seeding that we witnessed at
Raleigh, some of the remaining teams are lucky to even be in the Regionals.
 Team SoloMid EVO are clearly not showing their best performance recently and
if it wasn’t for the points they have gathered early in the season when they
were still Epik Gamer, they probably wouldn’t have qualified at all. Their
chances of overcoming Curse in their first match at PAX are, let’s say it
this way, not very big.

經歷了Raleigh為了爭奪較好種子序的艱困比賽以後，有些隊伍光是進軍最後決賽都很幸運
TSM.Evo最近的表現真的不是很好，如果不是靠著他們前身的Epik Gamer時代拿下的分數，
甚至難以進入最終決賽，他們在PAX的機會若要延續下去，必須打敗Curse才行。


The last two participants are  Team Legion and  Monomaniac eSports Ferus
(former mTw.NA). Legion showed a dominant performance at IPL Face Off but didn
’t manage to impress at MLG Raleigh. Their first match is against CLG and
while there is a chance that their typical “do or die” strategy may work,
the huge amount of offline experience that the latter has will probably turn
out to be crucial. mMe Ferus have probably the toughest luck of all teams –
 they meet TSM in the first round and it’s very likely that it will be their
only match there. Nevertheless they even went through a tie-breaker with
 Orbit Gaming in order to be at PAX, so the sole participation there is
already a success for the team.

剩下的兩隻隊伍是Team Legion和Monomaniac eSports Ferus(前身mTw.NA)，Legion在
IPL face off展現了壓倒性的支配風格，但是在MLG Raleigh卻乏善可陳。他們第一場將
會對上CLG，這是一次展現他們傳統的"打超好不然就掰掰"風格的好時機，但是後者(CLG)
在線下賽的豐富經驗會讓這個任務十分殘酷。
mMe Ferus則是需要所有隊伍裡最強大的運氣──因為他們第一輪的對手就是TSM，而這
很有可能是他們唯一的一場比賽。他們和Orbit Gaming打了一場割喉戰才獲得PAX參賽權，
這隊伍想繼續挺進，唯一的一條路就是勝利。


Just like at the European Regionals the format is single elimination, all
matches will be Best of 3 and the losers from the semi-finals will play for
the 3rd place.
和歐洲區決賽一樣，單淘汰  BO3
準決賽輸掉的隊伍會打季軍賽
