Picking Draven into Leona seems pretty loving ballsy.

Is Reksai already nerfed on this patch? Not sure why you would pick Lee Sin over her.

She is, Lee is still a dumb pick. I guess Kikis wants to kill Airwaks in his own jungle repeatedly?

I miss when UoL bust out pocket picks. This is a generic LCS lineup that could be played by basically any team. Blah.

edit: Didn't Freeze pick Draven before and he was totally ineffectual? Someone did, I feel like it was him.

Freeze is very famous for his Draven play (and recently Kalista). He prefers those to almost anything else so he is unique in that (like old pro players) he has a strong preferred signature champions; but he rarely focuses on meta picks and it makes his team much easier to predict in drafts.

So many fuckups from UoL, they should have two kills at this point at the least.

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.
UoL just blew two flashes on a Draven who made no attempt at dodging anything, they just missed entirely.

I'm going to keep arguing that Lee Sin has been nerfed enoguh that he is no longer a good competitive jungler until I see evidence otherwise.

It sucks for the team but it's nice to see off meta stuff so I think it's kind of cool. At least his signature champ isn't Corki.

No, it would have been a good solar flare if he'd used it 5 seconds earlier to stop Cass and Draven from melting half of his team.

Edit: I seriously don't know what Hylissang was thinking as he just stood there watching Soren advance on his team while he did nothing.

UoL are just sad rn.

I really like Vizicsacsi's play though, so aggressive and a lot of the time pretty effective. PoE is not looking at all like the player who out-laned Bjergsen, and these teamfights are kind of a disaster...

(Don't like the Leona pick though...)

(Or how they keep losing teamfights)

I think this was the hardest throw this split. CW did literally nothing to deserve this win. Personally, I blame PoE for going on a solo pushing adventure bot during that third dragon, and Kikis for pretty much everything he did this game.

Really the only thing UoL needed to do to win was just wait in a bush instead of so aggressively trying to take Baron when they had two inhibs and they should've won.

Ok so this is what I've been waiting for while trying to avoid watching too much of the garbage dump that is the bottom half of EU LCS. Maybe we could get the first enjoyable game of the day???

For what's good, I think the EU LCS production crew is doing a better job with their thing than the guys at NA. The weekly guest analyst routine has worked really well so far, Sjokz is a great host, and EU has much better player interviews when NA post-games are usually quick chats at the side of the stage.

Also I can't help but feel a bit good for how CW are obviously so happy to win, they seem to have a good attitude if not much else :3:
