Wouldn't be so sure of the run over with 200+ pings. I'd remember that AUS was able to win a map against FIN in World Cup or was very close to do so atleast. Might be that they don't have as good team this time, but still it isn't the same game with those pings (assuming that they're playing @ Californian server).
Have fun if you're playing it on a US west coast server! :D
Played against AUS on such server twice and both games were so horrible. Had to make whole different strategies as it was based so much on reviving and going on as a team instead of shooting. AUS was pretty good back then atleast tho so they could've been great matches if both teams had a playable ping. Not sure how good the current team is compared to their World Cup team from 2007(?).
That's just because of the decision to not hold any qualifiers and expand the number of participants to 32 teams. It was all a huge mistake and as a result we have the most boring group stage ever seen. Also in the playoffs round 1 should be mostly boring as there are 16 teams in it and the skill gaps remain big. With top8 remaining we should start to see great match ups and this year's top3 is pretty hard to predict so it will get very exciting in the end!
Why even host a NC with more than eight teams? Always the same boring groupstages with obvious winners advancing to playoffs after successfully beating the shit outta some low/inactive nations :/
gr attack with no engy? i weep for humanity.
as you said, there's usually 1 or 2 interesting matches per week. est vs ice was quite nice to watch.
Think AUS can take a map seeing the mappool ( Radar / Missile )
SLO vs HUN can also be somewhat close
And by the way: where is
I miss him :(
That was not funny.
Going to be ep..wait for it..ic

I seriously can't stand any ping above 100..or even 80 for that case :D
This could be a problem!!
