Because they did so well the previous 2 events.

Oh wait.

Blaze/Lethul have gotten top6 at all 3 events previous
APG/Ryanoob arguably some of the best players in the game. Both well known.

They did fine the last events. Instinct isn't unbeatable, and the event showed it.

Obviously they can be beat, but calling Infamous a better team than Instinct is a joke. If Infamous had blown them out every game, then yeah, sure, you could make a case for them actually being better than Instinct, but every game was incredibly close. Every game could have gone either way, but Infamous just did slightly better than Instinct. Instinct's 42-1(Or however many wins they had) in the previous two events, along with the second place finish and very close finals, shows that Instinct is better than Infamous is.

Remember Instinct in 2010?

1st/1st/2nd in first 3 events.

No one stays on top forever. Infamous is just the start. Dynasty/SQ rosters might disband creating an even greater roster, and BtH showed they were a top contender too.

Edit: And it is incredibly ignorant to say infamous isn't better when they just proved it.

I think it just goes to show you how much luck is involved with the game. Infamous didn't have any bloom luck during pool play, come sunday, they're playing for T12, and BOOM, they get some luck, stroll up to the finals, sup Instinct. Oh and the gametypes don't help either. Roy said on friday night after his match Android TS is their worst gametype, "it's a coin flip", and thats the game they lose on. Obvious fluke is obvious, JS.

Edit: Took Roy some balls to say that, you hardly ever hear any pros bad mouth any decision MLG makes.

the team that just raped instinct

Raped = barely scraping by every game?

Not sure what you're thinking... they lost 6 games, played 10 out of the 11 MLG gametypes against the same team. Excuses are weak, instinct just couldn't stand. Infamous was hands down the better team plain and simple.
Ryanoob and blaze won their combine together seems pretty legit they win their first event together as well.

... That kid really just said something about android when they lost 5 other gametypes to infamous. Kinda makes me laugh. Had nothing to do with anything other then the fact Infamous was clearly better..

Not even close to "hands down" the better team, but they were, debatably, the better team this event. Every game was incredibly close, and could have gone either way.
