TSM stands in a warded bush. Hai and Lemon throw out two completely missed ults. Balls jumps in then turns into mini Gnar. Bjergsen fires a whole missed spell rotation and BOTH TEAMS RETREAT.

What a battle.

Elise is decent in the new jungle, the new items are sweet on her too. Plus the buff she got in the last patch helped clear time and her kit is still flexible.

Lustboy was a top 5 support in Korea when he left. This a region where you still had players like Mata, too.

As much as people say Lemonation is the weak link on C9, every since the collapsed lung Hai's play has seriously suffered. He's had a small champion pool for a long time, too.

Or maybe Gnar isn't as useful as the LCS teams think he is. Everything about his kit is so situational and it's too easy for these guys to play around it.

TSM legitimately looks like the best team in North America right now and I don't think we'll be seeing Cloud 9 retake first place this split. :saddowns:

These are among the worst Fizz/Gnar games I've ever seen played competitively. C9 will still win though when they hit Dragon stacks.

Gnar is pretty much 100% pick/ban and 1 terrible game from Balls doesn't suddenly change this.

Yeah, some of these teamfights look waaaaay to similar to my silver placement games.

Good dragon control by C9 though, not that it seems to matter.

To be fair it's Jinx who can toggle to rockets to stay back if she needs to and TSM does have a Rek'Sai and an Irelia barreling into every teamfight with Bjerg's Ahri demanding attention. It doesn't help that Hai is making GBS threads the bed this game hardcore as well.

no it's that Balls is terrible at Gnar. There are plenty of games to showcase how good Gnar is competitively.

Every single time Gnar would've gone into Mega Gnar form and been relevant TSM just walked away. TSM just put a clinic on how to make Gnar completely irrelevant by never fighting when he could do anything that matters.

Hai is one of the best shotcallers in the world, but he has bad nerves and isn't the most solid midlaner. Just replace Lemon with Hai to keep the shotcalling, move Lemon to coach, and find a new midlaner.

No, actually. The first fight in mid-lane he was in Mega Gnar and despite being in position to hit multiple people (Dyrus, Santorin, Lustboy, maybe WT) with his ult he didn't use it. Instead he waited for like 5 seconds, then flashed and only got WT.

He's just not a very good Gnar.
