That Shen ult was dumb as hell, they had Baron and he was far away from the enemy.

Always better to ult in and secure baron with a smite.

I was thinking the same thing but Nientonsoh has been on fire these games and it was the right call to secure it vs a potential Trueshot Barrage steal.

Atlanta is in LA, and he's not a city as much as a former-pro player that goes by Atlanta.

And I thought you were in Santa Monica, which isn't that far away from LA, right (although I don't imagine you'd want to have to commute into the city)?

VES has top notch strategic and tactical calls. That thing they did at Baron where they pulled MRN towards Baron while Shen was pushing bot, then took Baron while MRN went back to defend, totally crippled MRN.

I think the only thing they really need to tighten up is their team fighting. I could see them being a really scary team if they get that aspect really tight.

Isn't Riven about as bad of a 1v2 laner pick as you could make? I understand that MegaZero takes pride in his Riven play from the tournament and all, but I've really not liked his Riven play today much.

Enter: competitive e-sports banned substances. How long til they find adderrall in these kids koolaid?

With 'best riven na' on the roster, you would think the team would try to get him in a solo lane to use some of his talents. Gotta create a mismatch somewhere. But having him in the 1v2 lane seems like a waste of talent.

So assuming MRN gets kicked out, maybe Nientonsoh could join Complexity and they could find a support and have a decent team come fall!

I don't want to jinx your team Studio but I don't see any way that MRN can win this now. VES has the map completely choked out and a 13k lead.

MegaZero has come across as a nerdy aloof douche when they pulled him in for postgame commentary, so I'm glad if he goes. DontMashMe is much more enjoyable. Cris is really, really good early game, although he does seem to have to burn flash a lot in the later engages.

National tragedy.
I'm sure Nientonsoh will be back somewhere and possibly Megazero, though I think with his waffling before the season that he might just go to college now. The rest of MRN, though, don't know if we'll be seeing them again any time soon.

What do you do with a drunken Viking?

Boom. What a brutal game all around - Velocity just knew exactly what they needed to do and crushed MRN into little bits.

Edit: yeah, MegaZero would be nuts if he didn't go to college. CMU's one of the best schools in the nation, and without an LCS berth the pro thing isn't worth it.
