It's really funny because Crumbzz used to be probably the best Lee Sin player in NA some time ago. Between then and now it looks like he completely forgot how to play the champion.

Maybe these things just happen to junglers. Look at Diamond's once praise Lee Sin.

Gamsu seems fine but this Dig team is just not good. There's no synergy, Crumbzz is possibly the worst jungler in NA, Kiwi and CoreJJ both seem subpar, and Shiphtur is passive to the point of being a huge detriment in almost every game.

Like what is Dig going to do to win games? They don't have a carry, they don't have any synergy, they don't have deep champion pools or weird pocket picks, they don't make good map movements. So I guess you just hope the other team throws? Dig got a significantly better pick ban here and got annihilated.

They could try doing what every lovely foreign/challenger team that ends up playing big boy LCS teams does and pick crazy teams of bizarre choices no one knows how to play against and hope to take a game or two off of better teams.

The even worse part is that they could've kept qtpie and scarra, done just as well as they're doing now, and I'd still be cheering for them instead of giving no fucks what happens to the team :smith:

Team Cloud 9 is tied for last place in the NA LCS, and has spent two weeks in the last place position. Meanwhile the next game could put the Team Formerly Known as Curse as tied for first place with Counter Logic Gaming. What is this season. :riot:

Yeah I tried giving Dignitas the benefit of the doubt for week one because they're the world champions of going through regular slumps with short sprints of mediocrity, but now, uhh. They seem to have nothing going for them.

I haven't really seen enough of Slooshi to give a call on him but Sheep/Mash is a good shout. E: for the love of god TSM don't pick Xerath he's the most boring loving champ in this game.

So far this has been the worst performing players (if you count fantasy points which are a pretty decent equivalence of in-game performance):

Top: Gamsu
Jungle: Crumbzz
Mid: XiaoWeiXiao
ADC: Adryh (Giants)
Support: Kiwikid

If you count the only 1 game both of these guys played (which was terrible in both cases), they would displace Gamsu and Adryh.

Oh man, the return of a classic botlane matchup. Last time this happened in Worlds, TSM defeated Royal Club because Lustboy and Turtle went above and beyond the call of duty. Can they do it again against an ex-member and a world champion?

Not feeling this Cait pick, what's the point of picking an ADC who only exists to win her lane when teams will just swap away from her and render her irrelevant?

Maybe Piglet forgot his recall button? Liquid could have swapped, too, but they went for an early turret. If TL's bot lane didn't shove like crazy, they might have made some picks onto Dyrus and got the ball rolling on Cait. As it stands, all they did was make it super obvious IWD wasn't going bot very much.

caitlyn isn't that though, she's great for objective control (rotations) and a safe auto attack range and scales very well with items. of course, against a Tristana she will obviously lose out lategame but until then Caitlyn will have the edge, especially midgame.

This game is pretty slow but that's because TSM has some crazy ward coverage while Liquid refuses to do anything.

Not sure if that makes it any better.

cait is strong the whole game because of her safety. she never becomes irrelevant because of that.

Except Trist is also a safe carry who scales much, much harder, and all Liquid is doing is letting WildTurtle farm and farm and farm...

The fact that TSM has no tank line might hurt them but as I say this they win a teamfight so who knows.
