The game between dignitas and Mono that was streamed, the short version: Mono roflstomps dignitas early game with pure solo queue power. 10k+ gold advantage. Paradoxical too arrogant to rush Hourglass on Morgana. Loses them the game.
Yeah so far there have been a bunch of games where the underdog wins the early game but can't close it out. That is, if you consider v8 and aAa underdogs to TSM and CLG.

It pretty much comes down to being inexperienced and reacting poorly to certain situations. They have a hard time closing the game out and it opens them up to poor positioning in team fights (-->Mono<--). Also herp derp morgana 100% lost that game for them by not buying hourglass.
*Also the player cams that are ahead of the cast is THE dumbest idea they've had so far. Did no one think that could be an issue spoiling the outcome of the game??

They deserve props for their whacky style, though TSM has been the only team with consistent synergy and coordination. That is completely disregarding the comp/theory aspect of the game.
Sad alex ich was out of practice for the qualifiers, woulda loved to see M5 again.
