RobertxLee is a decent enough guy who was lucky enough to be able to play competitively less than a year after falling down a flight of stairs and giving himself retrograde amnesia. I hope he succeeds because he used to troll the poo poo out of HotshotGG and it was hilarious every time :shobon:

That was hilarious - this has to be a big boost for CLB's morale, especially with how hard Westrice got crushed. I wonder if they'll let Shiphtur have LeBlanc after that to get a Lee ban.

His lane got focused really hard, but did he really get crushed? He stayed even in CS and remained relevant in many of CLB's plays. He just couldn't stop Zion.

Prolly is ok I guess but if you don't think solo Q cheese master Robert X and Akali Main Westrice aren't LCS quality idk what to tell you.

Robert has always been good mechanically and lately he's been actually putting in the time to be a 5v5 player.

Gotta agree on Westrice, though. I've never seen that dude do well. I bet if they make it into the LCS he's the first to be replaced.

CLB managed to win despite westrice, hopefully they can relegate coast and then steal Zion, although CLG will probably beat them to getting Zion. If nothing else CLB is a hell of lot more fun to watch than coast.

well, they might be able to replace westrice with the player who carried the game for both teams last game: zionspartan.

Zion kicked Prolly out of a culling in one of those Baron fights (You can see it here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkpeW4mEmM0&t=25223s )

I do like how CLB are playing as a unit, if they can improve their actual midgame and get a better toplaner they might be solid.

Meh, when four people + organization agree a good player needs to be kicked, he was probably a massive dick. On the other hand, he seems nice enough.

What's weird is CLB kicked their midlaner for being poisonous at one point and then they replaced him with the player kicked off of Complexity for being poisonous after they became Complexity.

How much of Zion's aggression and risk-taking is due to him having to carry his team? You can try to make big plays, or you can sit on your rear end in top-lane while the rest of your team gets rolled. I don't understand the flat-out aversion CLG has to the idea of training players to compliment their team.

"You're a mechanically gifted player that gets pushed to make risky plays because your team is terrible? Sorry, we're not interested. There's no top-lane talent in NA."

That's true, but I can also look at MegaZero, MeyeA, and Chuuper and see how they might not be very good at taking criticism. I do feel pretty bad for the old compLexity, but if pr0lly gets along fine with his team now then I'd be happy to see him in the LCS.

e: Maybe if CLB win they could replace Westrice with Nien if for some reason they can't get ZionSpartan? I don't know who else would be that much of an upgrade.
