HAHAHAHA THAT BARON! What the hell is this game?! Someone really does need to set that entire sequence to Yakety Sax. And then title it "don't doubt respawn times pre-40 minutes.avi". Vlad dies, comes back, and helps clean up the team that just got Baron. Christ.

Even I can hit Crescendos, good lord.  Bloodwater showed Rhux how to play Sona last game, Bloodwater showed Rhux how to play Thesh this game. Dyllyn fucked around with this message at 00:06 on Apr 29, 2013 |

It kinda sounded like Elementz got sick of Saint's poo poo and didn't want to be a part of Curse anymore. At least that's what it sounded like to me, and i can't say I blame him. It always seemed like their relationship was pretty dysfunctional, and it seemed like it had been leaking into their play towards the end of LCS. I bet Saint is regretting that now. Rhux is a good player, but he is obviously not used to this sort of play, and it's really costing them these games. Oh well, sorry Curse, you'd better get your poo poo figured out before the summer series.

Yeah, I think part of the problem is that Rhux has to be compared to Bloodwater, which isn't even fair. Ugh. I used to like Curse basically for Elementz/Voyboy, but Saint is just too much. e: Haha yes, Saint jungle is questionable. e2: Although on further reflection, sucks for Cop especially -- played well and can't pull in the same stream viewers as most of his team.

Yeah, Saint basically sabotaged his teams chances of winning LCS by being a huge fuckwit to his teammates. Elementz wasn't the best support in NA, but he was servicable and had decent synegy with Cop. Antagonising him to the point he goes "gently caress this, I'm out" does not strike me as a good strategy for success.

Not only is Saint's jungle questionable, I'm starting to doubt his ability to synergise with the rest of the Allstars team on a meaningful level. His ego is way out of hand. He'll probably butt heads with the rest as well on the team's direction. Go EU Allstars

I hate to see the NA All-Star team as all TSM with special guest Scarra, but Oddone is the better jungler. Saint is aggressive and a shotcaller which isn't going to work out as well as the robotic, consistent support-heavy Oddone. Probably the most important thing that the NA All-Star team could have used was someone who can pull off incredible smite-steals, because after watching OGN, Saint Vicious doesn't stand a goddamn chance. And Patoy is a top-tier support compared to XSpecial who just plays safe and doesn't make plays. Bloodwater has also shown to be a loving machine. SpaceDrake posted:Gonna say it, Saint seems to be the weak element of Curse at this juncture. His apparently caustic attitude is making his team dysfunctional, and his own decision-making is poor. A few of the bad plays there (like constantly wasting those global ults on situations where Zuna could, and did, easily juke the gank) are pretty much directly on his head.

They should have closed Allstars voting right now. At this point I think Oddone would have beaten Saint by a handy margin. I'm not even sure why Saint is so popular in the first place.

Before Elementz left the majority opinion Elementz was the weakest link on Curse. Now he's martyred himself and everyone is hung up on big bad bully Saintvicious. Meanwhile Nyjacky loses lane and is underfarmed against mancloud every game and Rhux can't hit a Sona ult to save his life. Everyone assumes that the player that they perceive as meanest on a team is also the worst player on it, because they want the schadenfreude of him being a fuckup.

After losing a Bo3 to the 6th place team I'd definitely say they're at danger of relegation next season

Saint is popular because every single stream monster nerd dreams of being him over any other player in the NA scene. He's an alpha male gym-hound who supposedly does well with women and talks a lot of poo poo about clicking on monsters with a mouse.

Elementz is a good player and this has always been my position. It helps that he just-so-happened to be on team crs during their best games throughout the LCS. Regardless of if people actually thought he sucked before, though, Rhux is undoubtedly the weakest link on crs now. He just can't land his skills!!

So if CLG disbands, who picks up Doublelift? Curse has Cop, TSM has Turtle, Dig has QTPie and all three are all-stars. Even Vulcan has a very comfortable hypercarrying Zuna. Could GGU bench Dontmashme for Doublelift? They seem to be thriving on cheese and dumbluck so far Actually don't a lot of Asian teams admire Doublelift? Wonder what he could do on a Korean team. Just some idle chitchat until next game starts.

It'd totally slipped my mind what kind of poo poo Doublelift would be in if he lost his contract though  Hopefully someone would pick him up.

Saint holds the same position as Regi and Hotshot, what he says goes for the team because it is his team (their manager is in his pocket). If he wants something he will most likely get it and ignore his own flaws in favor of blaming someone else.

Nyjacky doesn't generally play assassin midlaners, but he's still carried games for Curse this season. He is not their weakest link by far. In general, he helps them win games but his positioning doesn't make them lose games. Cop sometimes has positioning issues, saint is an insane person, etc.
