Was it just the K team playing in the 3rd round ?

edit: Turns out IM actually swapped in Violet for the masters round. Am I the one only who thinks the point of this masters match thing is a little moot when you're not forced into a "no more than 3/4 players from one team" ?

The meta balance is completely busted, as far as I can tell there is only one thing that matters for winning at the moment: picking Shyvana or Trundle. These heroes are unkillable, do massive damage, cannot be removed from lane, have incredible movespeed, can zone and then singlehandedly kill the opposing backline, and are always the last ones standing at the end of a 8 or 9 death fight. So silly and boring.

I hope the terminate the current top meta with extreme perjiduce because not only is it boring as hell, but its boringitude is infecting the other lanes.

Man, it's the worst when your OGN subscription ends and you're facing off with that non-sub blurriness again. Is it worth subbing for March? I'm not sure what upcoming events there are.

I'm in the same boat as you. Mine just ran out from Winter run. I think I might re-up anyways. Sounds like new SKTK1 looked good? I'm gonna have a bunch of games to catch up with today/tomorrow.

Faker played 2 champs he has never played professionally before and stomped with both of them. First match was Faker picking Ziggs into Kuro's Lulu and third match was Kuro trying the same thing. Turns out Ziggs isnt a counter to Lulu. Faker is a counter to Lulu.

If TSM beats CLG they have a real chance to break C9's win streak record from summer split. They face like DIG, CRS, and Coast until C9 in Week 7. They would be able to win 14 in a row beating C9's record by 1.

Neat?

Because you want XDG to win the game. Voyboy and Cop picked 2 pretty safe champions who can peel for themself with blink and pool. So maybe they just wanted 2 safe picks because Leona/Vi/Mundo will be diving, not peeling.

Mancloud makes mistake, throws ult early, XDG loses team fight.

Also Curse needs to transition to sweepers earlier. XDG just sets the jungle dark on Curse and then catches SV trying to ward with their deep wards.

He got a toxicity suspension from the LCS for like a year or something, so no he seems pretty awful. I missed the interview so I don't know about his voice though.
