I don't really get why Lizard is good on him, he doesn't proc it multiple times or anything. It is really worth is just for burn on his ult and Q?

With Iceborne it procs Lizard Elder in an AOE. From range. With a slow applied, letting you keep applying it. This is why you say people go Lizard Elder -> Iceborne -> other items. You also need 19/0/11 with lifesteal quints.

The burn probably adds up significantly if you're poking a lot. Mostly though it's hugely efficient. I doubt people would go for it over other typical carry items if it were more expensive.

I think this is a good display of the issue with that ezreal build, it's great if you get really long engagements where you're poking and chasing, but if it's a contest of who's gonna put out the sustained damage it just doesn't match up.

And Dignitas is on the way to getting kicked out of the LCS for the Summer and possibly forever. :allears:

Also, I rescind what I said about Jayce earlier ITT. Clearly, that game is what people have been trying to do with him for weeks. :stare:

This is the problem with that Ez build. It rules for kiting, but doesn't crit, which is why AD carries are so powerful.

I don't see how you could think that of GGU after the last few weeks of the LCS. It is kind of crazy to think that Dignitas were 2nd ranked in the LCS for a good while, and now they have to play a promo series just to get back into the competition.

I think they're regretting not choosing Rhux as their toplaner now. They said they picked Kiwikid because they thought he had more scope for improvement but since thier mid season winning streak he's been going backwards at a rate of knots. Crumbzz hasn't been too crash hot in the jungle either.

They (at least ImaQTpie, Scarra, and Kiwikid) have some weird undeserved attitude where they think they are the very best in NA when that is completely laughable. Also a general tendency towards being passive-aggressive douchebags.

Crumbzzz is their saving grace. They're just slowly losing from kiwikid being out of place at all the wrong times. It also seems that he goes in while his team isn't following, so something isn't being communicated right. This was AWFULLY obvious when he kept going in with Zac in game 1 and his team just ran the other way.

Everything I've seen of Scarra has convinced me he's just a dorky little man full of adorable cuteness.

That's pretty much it, yeah. I honestly prefer someone like Reginald or Doublelift who are obviously hamming up abrasive personalities to someone like Scarra who's really friendly and non-confrontational but then just passive-aggressively whines about everything.

On the topic of people with undeservedly high opinions of themselves, I sure am hoping Vulcun wins just to dumspter on Chauster. Even if it doesn't matter because everyone will just blame Hotshot no matter what. Poor Aphro though, he loses no matter what and that is sad. Poor guy just can't catch a break.

CLG vs Vulcun is the game I've really been looking forward to. I feel like it could go either way. CLG is such an inconsistent team that you never really know how their games will go.

I like Chauster the guy seems really knowledgeable about the game. They fail on execution but when they are on point with execution their map control and strategy is really good. I think Chauster puts too little emphasis on champ picks and player skill. If he was on a better skilled team they would go far.

They are the opposite of Dig. That last matchup against GGU there was almost no ward control on Dig's side which is why they lost imo.

The few interviews I've seen with Chauster he makes it seem like they would win all the time if only his team would just listen to him and that their losses are just CLG deviating from the vision of Glorious Leader Chauster. His team buys into this nonsense. Even some other players buy into this nonsense. The long and short is that Chauster, since the very beginning of S2 if not earlier, has never been a break out player. His jungling sucks, his supporting was good but nothing to write home about. His knowledge may be incredible but his play is not.

Didn't really watch any of this game. Come in and see Doublelift 0/6/2 on Vayne. What the gently caress? I mean, I really dislike Doublelift, but hasn't his Vayne been getting banned out all season? What the hell did Vulcan do to shut him down so badly? drat, that seemed really one-sided....

As much as I like to see the lower-ranked teams take out the bigger ones, my fear is that now those big teams will crush the promotion series, and the Summer LCS will have the same lineup as the Spring.
