Maybe it's just my fever making me delusional, but Dignitas has come back before from looking right about as bad as that, and they've looked about as bad as that after some impressive hot streaks. It's their way. Maybe their Koreans will get to show they can play video games if the old guard stops making GBS threads the bed.

That said of course they're in the bottom 3 garbage crew.

Who are they realistically coming back against? They're objectively worse than C9, TSM, WFX, TIP (with Impact), and TL.

Cris is another awful top laner so I can't wait for Flaresz to chase him down and laugh at him.

Flaresz is a sub right? Who is winterfox main top laner? Also, who is going to pick up Flaresz? He has a nice name and he looked better than some other tops right now.

Their top is Helios "brother," I guess the duo queued constantly.

It's so weird to me how Lissandra has been no pick or ban so far today. Also that Xerath was picked into a Leblanc.

Their starter is Helios' brother who I don't think really showed up anywhere in Korea, but I think it's really safe to say that if they need to keep Flaresz it should be an easy choice. ShorterACE is good, but Helios is a much better aggressive jungler and he doesn't have a lovely team this year so he should do even better.

Flarez, ShorterAce, and Gleeb are subs for Avalon (Helio's brother who's been trying to go pro for like 2 years), Helios, and Imagine (no one knows anything about this guy

it's difficult to say if the Korean starters are actually better than the subs in this case

I'm not sure we agree on what objectivity means here, but a comeback would be becoming the inconsistent, (below) average LCS team they've always been over any sample size longer than a month or two.

Oh, wow. Seeing the full lineup makes me even more hyped. Sure, even if his brother may or may not be worse than Flaresz, Helios is much better than shorterace.

I was really excited for EG's performance at the end of last season, and replacing their toplaner (who lost a lot to WESTRICE) and Krepo, who seemed to be slipping on his mechanics, should really put them in the top 4.

In fairness to Shorterace, he looks good here. They might not be consistent enough to be real LCS players but for a bunch of guys they brought in to play for the weekend they've looked phenomenal and deserve their win(s).

Edit: As Shorterace gets off a clean countergank for first blood. :allears:

Yeah, he looks good here. I don't think he's bad, I just think helios is good.

I actually expect top 3 to be c9 winterfox and tsm. I will reserve judgement a little until I see avalon's performance.

EDIT: As i say that, ShorterAce and Flaresz go full soloqueue to feed 2 kills to impaler's j4

The Renekton counter to Irelia isn't really working out for them after that dive, he forfeited Flash and his CS lead for it and is going to get outscaled even sooner now.

Don't worry, Flaresz is still trolling. Today he's playing Darrien style. Feed to win, and finish a giant wizard lizard

e: As I say that he almost beats a 2/0/2 irelia on his own but bottom WFX loses a dragon fight.

this only happened because they decided to give up two kills toplane and give irelia a big advantage, which cris and impaler abused to the fullest extent edit: keep in mind they WFX picked Tristana and it is currently the midgame vs. a fed Irelia and J4.

Coast is using four of the strongest champions in the lane, and Corki is still a generally safe pick. Cris is awful too but he just got camped and got ahead.

It's definitely the subs tbh, them being a combined 0/6/0 when the scoreboard was 7-1 pretty much sums it up
