Diamond is the only player I've seen make use of the Red/Skirmisher Jungle line. Seems to be his go-to choice on manaless junglers.

The 20% less damage from the target with the additional true damage makes him a formidable duelist. I've seen him take it on J4 as well.

The only chance I see for Gambit in this game is that fifth dragon. And it seems that CW know that.

E: Aaand, this game's over, Gambit played their lead incredibly sloppily nd now they're practically out.

That fight at the dragon was the first Gambit have won in about 15 minutes, I swear :gonk: this is pretty torturous

This has to be one of those games where winning will feel only slightly better than losing. The one hour mark is getting close :w00t:

The bottom 4 teams in the EULCS are just on another level of terrible. It actually makes me really sad that that includes Gambit, even if I never really liked them.

Can we just like disband EU LCS, expand NA by two slots while relegating DIG and move SK, FNC, and UoL to NA?

Why the gently caress wouldn't you just back out when you just got two inhibs and the pressure needed for taking the 5th dragon. Then again "Why the gently caress wouldn't you [insert opposite thing of what a team just did]" pretty much sums up the game.

They could have just rotated bot and let top and mid just push by itself. But instead they chose to pointlessly eat a ton of turret damage and lose.

Diamondprox still seems like an average jungler, saying the same of Edward's support would be generous. I want to see the old guard of M5 succeed, but with last split and all, it's getting to the point where I don't want to waste my time on their poo poo-rear end games. It's just sad, boring and frustrating.

I got called away for a work thing and missed the end of the game. I'm assuming Gambit threw it in some spectacular fashion. Pretty sad team.

this would actually be legit as gently caress even if logistically impossible/stupid/nightmarish.

This would be cool but you'd have to get rid of more than just DIG.

The slots line up. If you mean that there's too many trashcan tier teams in NA...I actually disagree, for once. Team 8 is probably the weakest and even they are no Complexity or Velocity for sure. NA LCS has some clear power tiers but in general everybody is at least decent. There's no Meet Your Makers or Copenhagen Wolves in it.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

A nice mix would be TSM, C9, CLG, TL, WFX, EL, FNC, UOL, SK, ROC if you wanted 10. If you want 12 then add Gravity & have a wild card tournament between CST, T8, H2K, & GIA

You could pretty safely throw CST and H2K out by default and have lost nothing of value, at least Team 8 and Giants will play the game and attempt to do interesting things instead of being steadfastly boring as hell. Make Gravity and Roccat play and then make the winner play Elements. If Elements can't beat the winner in less than 40 minutes then the winner gets Elements' spot along with T8 and Giants.

Take the top six from both this split and put them into a 12-team division and cut the other 8 teams. That would work. Play the games in LAN.
