I don't know man, I think I might be replacing Shook and Wickd. I realise that Shook can be an absolute beast, but he's nowhere NEAR consistent enough.

I just grabbed Reignover for fantasy because apparently I put my eggs in the wrong Korean Hype basket. This is only one game, but Steelback has a score of 4/0/12, and having a no-death ADC on an AD that doesn't have some kind of dash or self peel is really loving impressive.

e: lmao at Huni using an ability to get over the gate he could have just walked through.

i talk poo poo about wickd all the time but i think shook hosed up bigger here

wickd was getting next level camped but still almost killed huni or got insane allins and trades against him every time. with some proper prescence from shook he could have destroyed that lane, he was still exerting massive pressure even while behind

and it's 33 minutes into the game and shook still has 0 MR against a double AP team

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

Febiven is xerath ult scripting / Elements is not xerath ult dodge scripting

They havent dodged a single ult charge

Edit: Yea as much as I like making fun of Wickd he was making GBS threads on Huni as Irelia. He would trade 75% of Huni's health for almost none of his own with only a phage while having a 30 cs lead in lane. Shook did nothing on the map pretty much. Their one good early game play was getting the first dragon.

No, this is a great showing. Elements went to World's with all of these players, FNatic is going in with one remaining player and it's for all purpose, a brand new team.

I love that in the year 2015, I tune into EU LCS only to find Wickd playing Irelia.

I'm torn between trying to rip on Wickd for only playing one champion, versus ripping on enemy teams for not banning Irelia. Then again I guess you don't really want to go against CLG.eu with only two bans. I just don't understand it. I didn't see too much of the early game, and obviously they didn't have a problem with it since Wickd was 3/11 or whatever , but from what everyone is saying it's because he got camped and surprise surprise, was drawing more than his share of pressure/effectiveness on Irelia.

You can't blame botlane for that. Shook never even attempted to stop the bleeding top lane, he might as well have been AFK that whole game as Wickd gets camped top while Froggen hopelessly plays a support mage Mid he can't carry from.

They seem like a team that's desperately in need of coaching and a better draft phase. They seem to be mechanically sound but then draft bad teams (for example, losing to Kabum! because they picked a zero waveclear team into a Jinx) and they need a top laner who is good at more than one champion at the LCS level.

Riot's way or solving the "Alex Garfield actually owns two LCS teams" issue was to have Alex Garfield rename both of his teams.

Alliance and Evil Genius had to change their names because they were owned by the same company, so they both split off.

Curse (The company) wanted to sponsor multiple teams through Curse Voice, so their E-Sports division split off and merged with Liquid (The owner of Team Curse) to form Team Liquid
Curse Academy had to be sold off because no one organization can own multiple teams in the LCS, so they were rebranded too.
Team Liquid has another little sister Challenger team, Liquid Academy.

To be fair, the Sivir and Rengar were really big threats too, but he should have been a whole lot more worried about the mages.

I just don't understand what the Lulu was supposed to be FOR. Usually if you do a double-shield comp like that (janna/lulu) you have a protect the X, but Rekkles was on Graves and Wickd was on Irelia so there's no one on the team who NEEDS that much shielding, they just needed more damage out of their midlane.

Target banning Febevin instead of just picking one of those mids for Froggen to carry with was weird.

I can't blame Wickd for this, he got camped and Shook built terribly and didn't countergank for him even when he was crushing Huni in lane.

Yeah Wickd did very well in lane and if Shook didn't afk after his one gank they could've completely shut down the toplane. But terrible play from Shook in both gank patterns and item build combined with a bad champ pick for Froggen lost them the game.

Kori is European, they're just "testing out a new midlaner" while "Kori's status is still in the air" so it sounds kind of like they want to replace Kori for some reason.

Interesting. So wait, is EG now Gravity? I'm looking at the games for NA LCS and I literally don't recognize half of the teams, and I feel like I watched the relegation and expansion tournaments. Winterfox? Impulse?

Also, I love that prolly is involved somehow. He has the best poo poo-eating grin no matter what. Also important questions about having a coach: will Lemonnation still need to carry his notebook around, or will their coach have one? Or will they break out a groundbreaking second notebook?
