I guess Gambit saw Roccat's bad scores vs Millenium and decided that they could top them! Edward was worth negative points this game... e: Looking at these first few games it seems like long games where a person can get a lot of kills without actually closing (like Millenium did) will be very very good for points, even if its not better from a winning perspective.

Obscurity posted:Soo...about this draft..? At this point AdjectiveNoun should just pick a day and time towards the end of the week and just start the draft. Give us all plenty of time to check the thread and respond. If most of us cam make it, within reason, just start it then and whoever can't make it or forgets to show up gets run by the draft bots. Since our teams won't start getting points until next week anyway, waiting a few more days doesn't hurt anyone, and we get a week's worth of games to make better picks or whatever.

This is what happens when you don't draft EU players in Super Week: But the bottom two teams are going to fall very, very far behind when it's NA's turn. Ideally, what you want is 2-3 "Best in position" players that you know will dominate pretty easily, like Froggen, or Bjergson, or Amazing, or Sneaky. Then for your alternatives, you want strong EU players from different teams (Because of the inconsistency of EU it's best not to pick too many members from the same team) You're going to want 4/3 NA/EU on your main roster and ideally 5-5 picks overall (5 NA and 5 EU) unless you get super lucky and you can just draft Sneaky, Meteos, Amazing, and Bjergson and there's no reason to even use anyone else. Yellowstar sucks and he was my only EU player, thanks for the lousy 5 points. RealFoxy fucked around with this message at 18:38 on May 21, 2014 |

EU picks might have an advantage just due to how much these guys farm it up and wait till late game. NA scene you have teams that close out games quickly but also can be bloodbaths to even out how farm heavy the EU scene is.

At least they're getting a lot of assists in the games, if they continue to have long games full of dogpile teamfights it will be good for consistent points Depending on which gambit shows up tomorrow they should be able to get a bunch more tomorrow too.

Nine. Aka one short of ten which gives a bonus +2 points each. I was shrieking at them to get ONE MORE KILL BEFORE YOU KILL THE NEXUS THEY ARE RIGHT THERE COME ON COME ONNNNNNN but noooo. Cost me 7 points between the two of them. Fuckers. Ingrates. After all I did for them.

Schiavona posted:Just did my draft with my buddies. Here's my team: The upside is that NA players are a lot more reliable. Even with teams like Dignitas and Coast struggling in and around the bottom 4, Zion and Shiphtur and KiwiPie were all very consistant players who just got very out-rotated or stuck up throwing at Baron. You can still rely on those players for having good stats most games. EU players can go from Bjergson or Sneaky levels of dominance in one game, to Zuna levels of pathetic the next game, in the same day, but you need those EU points! I don't think anyone expected Kerp to be worth so many points, but next week he could be worth nothing. I guess in the end, if you can draft enough top-tier NA players you hardly need EU at all. It's really hard to just guess which EU team will even place in the top 3, unlike NA where you can draft TSM, CLG, and C9 and be pretty confident you'll get plenty of points every week. When you draft NA players you know exactly what you're getting. When you draft EU it's the biggest gamble. There's only a few very consistent players left in EU you could draft and not worry about.

EU is a mess but there are some upsides - nobody knows how to close games right now so the games go quite long and give huge points for everyone. This is part of why Kerp is raking in so many - MIL doesn't know how to play a short game, nor have any of their opponents so far. This even benefits the losers - because of the low relative value of deaths as long as they get a bunch of kills/assists/CS they'll probably score a lot. Objective focused teams that win by shutdown domination also will likely produce lets points even if they have a controlling victory - this might be a risk for C9 and CLG, who had a few low-kill affairs last split where they out-rotated the opponents hard. On the flipside these are the worst case for the opponent - like how Roccat blanked Gambit yesterday. E: For future weeks it might be worthwhile to look out for battles between lower ranked teams which can be long and bloody, and thus a gold mine for fantasy points. Like there was a game between SHC and MIL last split that had 50+ kills in it (35 for MIL, 16 for SHC). Of course, its a risk and it could end up being a game where it doesnt happen. Hard to tell with EU's consistency. PlaceholderPigeon fucked around with this message at 08:00 on May 22, 2014 |

I'm pretty sure I'm going to come in last this week thanks to Roccat and Fnatic both having bad weeks, and I probably should have shoved Voyboy in the Flex slot instead of Zionspartan. I'm kinda annoyed that I even have Voyboy, but he was the only mid available once I got to subs. I should let go of my anti-Curse sentiments and just plug him in I guess. Millenium is turning out to be the EU wildcard.

Yeah, i'll probably be right there with you as last or second to last. You ended up with more decent NA players than I did, but we both suffered from having fnatic/roccat members on our teams. I don't know how often you log into league, but I added you to friends from my account Dox023 to discuss fLCS stuff.

Man FNC sucked I figure Fnatic is a long play, they won't get good (if they do, I could see some roster shakeups too) until the latter half of the split. I'd definitely drop anyone not named Rekkles for the next few weeks at least.

If Kerp is unpicked in your league, you need to pick him up and set him in your Flex pick. He's a goddamn machine at 5/0/1 15 minutes into this game.

Kerp is at almost 100 points on his own this week, if I'm not awful at adding. Can't wait for him to be worth nothing next week. Thanks EU  e: Kerp worth 114.85 points in Week 1.
