All the complaints about the dude's looks are pretty uncalled for, guys. Cmon now :/

It's mostly razzing. I do think Vile should legit visit a stylist if Velocity gets into the LCS, though, Studio.

Also what was that dragon teamfight, that was clownshoes.

Nientonsoh pulled his best xpeke impression and backdoored the Nexus with seconds to spare! Amazing plan.

EDIT: Nientonsoh really wants to stay in the LCS after finally getting in with MRN. I'm sure he's pretty intense after his experience with Cloud 9.

One thing I notice that VES seems to do in every fight is they all focus different targets. I bet if someone was calling targets and they systematically took them down 1 by 1 they would do a lot better. Think how M5/Gambit do their team fights. They all focus one person at the start and that person dies instantly, effectively turning it into a 5v4.

Basically I think VES' biggest weakness is their teamfighting.

VES needs to work on their CS a bit more. MRN had a good 150+ lead on them by the end. Hell of a good series though

What do you do with a drunken Viking?

Man if VES had had a season worth of training and concentration they would be so goddamned awesome. The mistakes they're making right now are just mechanical stuff that can be learned (and Rumble not buying a loving hourglass, wtf were you thinking dude?).

If MRN makes it back into the LCS it will be solely because Nientonsoh wills it so.

I haven't watched a lot of MRN's matches, but wherever they got this Nientonsoh guy, they need to get more like him. Guy's doing work for them and I'd actually like MRN to get back into the LCS so I can watch some more of him.

VES seem like they're all inferior players man for man pretty much across the board, but they have better playcalls a lot of the time (as well as off-the-wall strategies) to make up for it

Normally I can deal with pro gamers being weird looking but seriously the hair on those two Velocity-players is actively making it hard for me to cheer for them, even though I'd normally definitely want them to win.

It's the worst hair I've ever seen and there's TWO of them. How the gently caress does that even happen.

E: Maplestreet has dumb hair too but he mostly just looks like a 10-year-old as a result.

Is there a good looking NA team? Full of neckbeards and basement dwellers which is why I like the NA scene. Keeping it real.

I think NkInc is a better jungler, maybe.

Either way, I think the big question now is "Can Velocity get their heads back in the game". You could see the devastation on their faces at the way that ended and I feel like they might just pitch this 4th game.

Good point. Dignitas are particularly bad as well.

Saintvicious looks like any fratguy ever, he'd be the jungler in my I Can't Believe They're Not Normal People team. Aphromoo gets in as well, he's got swagger. Dan Dinh is fine too, he's got a lot of charisma which is also why he's a solid co-host/expert commentator.

I really like that little tactical maneuvre by VES there. Lanes were swapped so the duos weren't opposite eachother, at which point you normally expect both duos to take their lane towers early. VES, however, spent a lot of resources to just about keep their tower alive vs the MRN duo (Rumble blue pot, Rumble ult on minions, Shen hanging around for a couple of minutes) and then swapped their duo into the lane after taking bot tower. As a result, they're a tower ahead and MRN can't pull one back the in lane they were expecting to. Really nice little detail.

I really dislike the tear build on Karthus because while it's super easy for him to charge it up, it cripples any kind of mid-game Requiem damage by delaying the Deathcap/Void Staff.

More like wards barely matter when you're playing against a Zac because he'll loving jump to bottom lane from mid.
