Are the commentators right in saying that KTB threw their previous set to get matched up against Ozone? Because that is hilarious if true.

They did, someone posted about this last week I think. It was massive massive disrespect (in a gaming culture that is all about respect and manners) and they are getting their comeuppance. KTB down 0-2 in their BO5.

down 2-1. KT B won the first game. I am hoping ozone pulls this out, but I don't know if imp's Varrus is as good as his Vayne.

They're on track to close out the series 3-1 too. Obviously not crazy far ahead, but they are up.

inSec's Lee Sin is like a crazy wizard that makes impossible plays, but MVP are playing really well right now, and it looks like they're going to take this series. Jayce is just destroying everything in sight, he was about 10 hp away on Lee Sin from a Penta.

To be fair, InSec only genuinely hosed up once. The other times were crazy flash just at the end of the range grasping roots grabs. It's more a testament to how amazing Mata is than InSec throwing.

e: Amazing play all around though. Good game Ozone.

I dunno dude, jumping in to save a ward when you have no idea where 4 of the 5 members of the other team are, and you are a significant distance from the rest of your team, is a pretty enormous fuckup. Even if it took a crazy good play from Mata to punish him for it.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
I was looking at the All-Star line-ups and NA is so horribly out-matched. Double-Lift and Dyrus are the only two who could hope to compete against Asian teams, and with so many personalities in NA on one team I don't think that NA can coexist very well.

I think Saintvicious is a good jungler/shotcaller, but yeah I basically agree. Honestly I think Dyrus is the only player on the NA allstar team that really matches up with any other regions.

This is as good a time as any for prognostication, so here it goes.

Who will make it through to Summer season?

My guesses are:
1. Quantic (I love Complexity and I really hope I am wrong)
2. Velocity
3. Dignitas
4. Azure Cats

Where can I bet on this stuff? I bet would AC would have pretty long odds, but I'll take basically anyone over CLG at this point.

I don't have any particular dislike of CLG, I just want to see them lose to see if they'll follow through with their "we're going to disband if we get knocked out of LCS" thing.

Yeah I have no emotional involvement whatsoever, I just think they're going to lose. They're still playing season 2 LoL, and that's why they're going to lose.

This game is beautiful so far. Quantic aren't teamfighting, they're just showing up and then suddenly someone on TAP has 0 health.

EDIT: Yeah, holy God, this assassination comp is paying so many dividends.

Tear Gragas vs manaless lane seems like a nightmare scenario. Game was a total stomp so we'll never know, but that seems like the absolute worst start to a scrub like me. In the choice between damage and survivability, you choose no?

I kind of want to see this too. Them and Dig both going down would be funny with their talk about bottom four. Although I have to admit that the spring playoffs determining ultimate standings regarding relegation is messed up.

I don't really get why CLG does so badly it seems the NA teams have a real tough time stopping snowballing. You would think with as strong a bot lane as they claim they could just swap lane and push the outer turrets all the time to prevent snowballing and losing lanes. I really think Chauster is the weak link. They should forget about dragon cause they suck at team fights until they have their items.

CLG problems are Chauster is just a bad jungler or his jungle champs are weak. Hotshotgg can only play tanks, and Link doesn't roam or play aggressive champs. Link's a great solo queue mid but he doesn't put enough pressure on lane to prevent people from ganking Doublelift and Aphromoo.

So Quantic just put on a clinic against TAP. I don't think I've ever seen a Zac make that much of an impact in a game before. That combination of the Zac Let's Bounce, the Sona Crescendo, and the Kennen Storm ults on the 2cd mid tower was ugly. Like solo queue ugly.

I want to see CLG go down because I think their team needs to be disbanded. The problem with CLG is Hotshot. He offers them absolutely nothing but owns the team so he'll never be replaced. The only way to replace him is to remove the team from contention. I think Aphromoo is terrible on support but one of the most exciting ADC players in the game (not necessarily the best, but the most exciting). My ideal scenario would be like Complexity advancing and them filling their vacant ADC spot with Doublelift or Aphromoo after CLG disbands. But I don't know how this weekend will shake out and that's a lot of baseless speculation for one post.

I'd be so down with Complexity replacing their bot lane with CLG's.
