I'm also Laughing Out Loud at gravity's team uniform, you can beat cloud 9 but if you don't get a sick hoodie or jacket or something with an actual color scheme I don't see them going anywhere... Hell I'm the biggest saint fan around but I can't get behind this shirt.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

Im curious as to how C9 will shape up, because the meta should actually favor Hai atm with LB, Fizz, and Zed being good picks, but its pretty obvious he bad.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

I was behind Winterfox when I saw their logo and bought an icon. Then they won yesterday and I bought a hoodie. If they finish top 3 this split I might even buy a stupid loving overpriced $35 rubber phone case. Is this what it feels like to be a TSM fan

I am not convinced that his shotcalling is so good that it can justify being the worst mid laner in the NA LCS. His champion pool is terrible and you can't count on him to win his lane or even land basic abilities. There was a point in time where he could go toe to toe with Bjergson, but that was a long, long time ago.

No matter what happens, Bjergson is going to win that match just based off CS numbers alone.

Yeah I also don't think he's a power pick in a lot of these guys hands. He relies on having a perfect team engage, perfect vision control, so many things have to go right for him to have one of those Rengar games. He's deceptively powerful on the top end but rarely gets to it.

Maple's positioning has been real good in some of these fights. That LeBlanc dive defense was flawless. It would be hilarious if OddOne was a sleeper agent and gave Maple all the TSM strats.

i just find it baffling that teams keep picking him like he's a super important and powerful pick that gets good results when that happens nearly every one out of five games he is picked

You can't underestimate Team 8 because Slooshi and Calitrollz are actually pretty good. The way you should be beating this team is by playing smarter.

T8 isn't that bad, TSM isn't that good. None of the NA teams are really looking dominant this split. Will be exciting, but I don't think it'll play well at Worlds.

They have a year to stop being poo poo and find their synergy, it's just a little early to even be thinking about how they'll do at Worlds.

Even accounting for that, though, it just doesn't feel like any team has that much room to improve with the players they've got. Mayyybe Liquid, and maybe C9 if they can somehow exceed their peak. Of course this is relative to the rest of the world, in absolute terms the scene is better every split.

That was an insanely bad team comp and t8 played like retardos the entire game but it didn't matter at all because all they had to do was walk around near each other and tsm couldn't do much but lose.

Well, this confirms it, we fell through a hole into bizarroland. C9 loses to TSM and then Gravity, TSM loses to Team 8, and The Team Formerly Known As Curse is first. What a world we live in, ladies and gentlemen.
