M eye a is probably the worst pro-level support I've ever seen.

I've been saying this for months. It's not that anyone's disagreed with me, but it hasn't changed at all. Chuuper is also pretty weak at AD himself, but coL needed to make more changes to the team than they did (and earlier)

Hey Studio, what have you told Velocity since yesterday to help prepare them for today?

Yeah, the picks for Complexity seem bad they should forget about team fights and think about what will win them their lane. Step one for them is not to get crushed in laning phase. That fiddlesticks pick is not bad if you're hyper aggressive but they are getting so crushed they should pick wave clear champs and just try to keep their towers from collapsing inside 5 mins. Jeebus!

I've said it since like week 3 when he missed 3 Sona ults in a row.

Zed & Kha'Zix banned. I'm loving Hai's champion variety in this series. :allears:

CoL going to their comfort champions, but giving Quantic all their comfort champions in the process. Should be interesting. I wonder if Quantic can keep this sub-30 minute winning streak.

Quantic should have been in the spring season if they hadn't screwed up the qualifiers weekend. Going to be fun to have them and their playstyle in LCS. On other hand, it's pretty hosed up that coL is gonna be back to living with their parents. Hope Riot works on supporting non-LCS teams better.

Quantic will be a contender for the top of the LCS in the summer split. I think they are easily a Top 4 NA team. It's really crazy that they failed to qualify in the Spring.

What a squash match, Quantic were another level. I really liked their killer instinct balanced with smart tactics.

Speaking purely as a player (with no inside knowledge of the eSports side), I would guess that s4 and even the summer side will have a better amateur experience. The IPL coming apart kinda sucked, and with LCS doing so well, I only see the setup growing.

Big grats to Quantic. Best of luck to complexity.

They could easily set up a 2nd-tier 8-team league

They're a lot better than they were in January. Back in Jan. there would be a chance they would just do something... stupid. That's no longer the case. There were minor mistakes but not to the point of what they used to have.

Every single match under thirty minutes. :stare: We have almost three spare goddamn hours before the second Bo5! (Fake edit: or maybe not, are they bumping Velocity forward?)

I am so sad to see Complexity go because they're great dudes, but god drat Quantic is going to be a fantastic team. They have a real shot at going to the very top.

False enemy or true friend?
Kinda sad, I'd imagine some of these teams will completely shatter after getting knocked out. Quantic played incredibly though and smashed them into the earth, so it's what happens. I think Nickwu towards the tail end of that final game was completely demoralized, you could see it on the guy's face. :(

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 kind of think maybe not making the LCS helped Quantic. They stuck it out and kept improving instead of dealing with all the drama and pressure of the LCS. I am super excited to see what they ring to the table.
