So I'm rewatching this Elements v. Fnatic game and I just noticed that when they showed Irelia in the bottom for her stats it had a different splash art. I'm guessing we'll be getting said splash art in the next two patches, then. That's cool.

I am sad that Gambit did not come back to be glorious. :saddowns:

2/5 on my predictions. The bad news is that Roccat didn't look to well. The good news is that I can jump over to the UoL hype train :getin:.

Rekkles and Jankos sank my team, and Fox/NRated didn't get as much as Freddy/Sven. At least POE put in the work but with only Balls and Team Liquid, i might lose the opening matchup.

Totally going to bench Jankos for Saintvicious

The bad news is that none of the teams I was sincerely rooting for won except for UoL.

The good news is that autodraft gave me Forg1ven and my opponent this week went hard on Gambit.

All on Shook tbqh. We all knew Wickd was a Suicide Gamble pick but it's because Shook shat the bed.

I'm watching it through the Reddit thing that collects it but Epic Skillshot is also good. Man I want to see how bad/good the new Irelia splash will be. :saddowns:

I am gonna be mad if Elements really wastes having some of the best carry talent EU because Wickd is a one trick pony and Shook apparently is shy on stage.

Banning Gnar is good and EU teams should probably figure that out.

Especially don't give it to possibly the two best top laners (Fredy and Vivicijdsf;larki) in EU.

Don't watch the MYM or CW games. The other two are worth a shot, especially SK vs Roccat.

I'm watching that one now, only a few minutes in but Nukeduck looks bad. 15cs behind at 0430. How come SK lane swapped Lucian vs Trist, because of the Lulu pick?

Were the other two games that bad?

Lucian's bullying is a lot less pronounced and Janna is queen of disengage, so there's not much a Lucian could have done to stop Tristana from getting to her late game versing each other in lane and instead opted for fast push to try and pull ahead by that metric.

At least, that was my theory.

Honestly, Wickd didn't do awfully that game, aside from being overaggressive when he didn't know where Rengar was. The bigger problems were that A: Shook was invisible and built full armour against a double-AP team and B: Froggen and Rekkles would back out immediately as a fight started. Elements has bigger problems than Wickd, honestly.

Yeah that's me. Watching the Gambit game was even more heart-breaking than usual. Diamond had a negative fantasy score. :cry:

I was sick all morning but woke up this afternoon and watched the games on delay. Was a solid start to the season. I thought Fnatic would be competing for bottom of the table and now I think they might be competing for the top of the table. Holy poo poo were they impressive.

Since I did so well in my predictions yesterday(1-4) here's some more for today's games.

Meet Your Makers - SK
Giants Gaming - Copenhagen Wolves
Roccat - Gambit Gaming
Fnatic - H2K
Unicorns of Love - Elements

Going full on fanboy and hope that Gambit can recover from that game yesterday.

Really not confident in Gambit but whatcha gonna do about it, Roccat looked awful. UoL may or may not kill it against Elements, that match should be fun to watch. And I hope everybody's ready for more SK D-D-D-DOMINATION today.

Both Copenhagen Wolves (who won) and Giants (who lost) played Cassiopea yesterday, so if anything, it's Korea imitating... hahaha, I almost said it with a straight face.
