Admoon posted:While NA teams are playing, some big news from across the pond: http://www.fnatic.com/content/95614/changes-in-the-fnatic-lol-team Their bot lane has been really bad the last few weeks. Both nRated and Yellowstar have played pretty terribly. So I'm not surprised they made a change. nRated seemed much better last season than this season I'm not sure what has changed. He missed like 20 Blitz grabs in a row last week.

He's not eligible until September 2013, when he will surely join their main team in my mind. He's easily in the discussion for best AD Carry in Europe. He's very much better than YellowStar. So maybe YellowStar moving to support now is like him getting ready to support Rekkles later, I don't know. That said, it's too late to help them in Summer and I don't know when S3 worlds is. e: had wrong month.

A+ game, excellent play and strategy by both sides, I would be surprised if this isn't the game of the week. I think a lot of this game came down to the fact that in the first invade, even though CRS got more kills and first blood their kills went to a Vlad, who was neutralized in a 2v1, and their jungler. Meanwhile Vulkun's kills went to Tristana and Orianna, who were allowed favorable matchups to take advantage of their lead over the opponents. Maybe Curse would have won if they went with Swain and started him with two kills... sirtommygunn fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Jul 4, 2013 |

TSM won the picks here - they're gonna shove down towers so hard with Nasus/Cait/Jayce and then Zed on split push/duel; Velocity doesn't have very good waveclear and I don't know how they'll deal with the fast push. Edit: Well, that was an awkward lvl1 Wow, that was a sloppy mess at the toplane turret. Bad form by Xpecial/Turtle NK Inc's Eve ults are underwhelming as heck. They need to go for catches, not trying to get tower siege kills, imo. Also, Jayce still OP PlaceholderPigeon fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Jul 4, 2013 |

It's getting really obvious why Velocity is the worst team in the LCS. what the gently caress is reginald doing? jesus christ evaniskus why would you ever think that was a good time to crescendo?

I haven't been watching this season I just remember last season when nRated was definitely one of their top players so it's odd to hear he's been underperforming. It always seemed like he would be the one carrying yellowstar but if his recent performance has really been that bad then it makes more sense.

Cris is either extremely lucky or really good at avoiding death. I think Reginald is trying too hard Those Crescendos make me sad, especially after watching OGN VVVVV TSM's Comp would have been good had they actually pushed down towers, but they botched that in the top lane so hard.

Velocity may just win this on Reginald's stupidity and TSM's poor comp (armor itemization is really good right now guys). Then again, Velocity's complete incompetence when it comes to objectives may lose it. Typed that before they got baron. sirtommygunn fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Jul 4, 2013 |

TSM need to bring Jonas back. He did a good job keeping them focused, competent, and improving. This is similar to the pre-Jonas TSM that got too comfortable after having a good period, and then sucked because they saw themselves being so superior to the rest of the NA scene.

I have yet to see a VES win in the LCS where I've been really wowed by their play and it hasn't come off as the other team massively underperforming. If they win this, my opinion still won't have changed.

Every time I see VES play I think about how it could have been Complexity instead if they hadn't lost that one game to MRN at the end of the spring split. Edit: Yeah, that happened. Baron dancing vs a Jayce and letting Zed catch them will lose a game right quick. PlaceholderPigeon fucked around with this message at 22:07 on Jul 4, 2013 |

Annnnd thats that. Velocity had all the chances in the world and they just wandered around the map doing nothing in particular. Their best call was doing that Baron when Reginald went botlane, but once they had it they went back to scratching their heads about how to press the advantage.

Man... being a VES fan, I now understand Cubs fans. I fell in love during their promotion with the Jungle EZ. Now they are 2-9 and everytime they are up I am mixed between prepared to being disappointed and having my hopes high enough to hurt.

Unexperienced team gets a lead, doesn't know what to do, loses a late teamfight against more experienced team, everything that happened in the past 40 minutes was meaningless. The worst kind of game.

Scarra drew a Yi ban? Amazing! C9 gets Jayce, Dignitas gets TF and Zed. Interesting - Graves and Xin coming back! Looks like Dig is going early/mid strength, and Cloud 9 is going their classic comp. Edit: Imaqtpie is definitely playing solid this game, and Kiwikid's TF is pulling C9 all over the map - and those agressive Patoy plays! Why would you bait in the baron pit vs Zac? The baron curse returns! PlaceholderPigeon fucked around with this message at 22:55 on Jul 4, 2013 |

Well if there was ever a time to decide to chase the support and run right into a devestating counter engage it would be seconds before the baron respawns.

What really makes the decision baffling is that they have the TF ult activated before they go in, they can see C9 is totally prepared to destroy them in that narrow corridor.

They should have never fought 5v5 if they could help it. A graves/tf/zed comp is best if you catch out 1-2 people and blow them up super fast. They were using it well when they used map pressure to make C9 move around the map and then create catches by the positional changes - that got Kiwikid/Qtpie a bunch of kills and got them towers too. But then they stopped pushing and did the classic Dignitas baron throw thing! Ahahahaha - Quote from twitter "The MVP of all games so far has been Baron pit"

I've never seen Asian teams play live in a scenario that wasn't an international competition because they hold all their games in the middle of the night in NA and most of their VODs are behind paywalls. I think there was like once or twice I had to get up super early for something else and caught the tail end of a big tournament game but that was about it. The time zones thing really fucks most people out of watching those teams play.
