Switching out Pobelter for Link this week turned out to be the best fantasy choice

Khaba posted:That game was really brutal. I don't even think Winterfox is bad (might be biased, I like them), but they got crushed. Sushipants posted:Agreed, CLG's botlane basically warped the entire game around them and the vision control it granted them carried them through the midgame. This, pretty much. 100% expecting WFX to win tomorrow, CLG just came to play.

Winter Fox is kind of good & all of their players seem good but they can't really aspire to be much better than a good 2nd tier team & if your team is going to worlds you shouldn't drop games to them, especially with the new no super week format.

Rudager posted:Whats the KDA difference between the 2 games Keith played vs the 3 that Piglets plays? Isn't Keith something like 18/3 and Piglet is like 5/5 or something? I'm too lazy to look up the actual numbers. Keith was 15/2/23 across 2 games. Piglet is 3/5/7 across 3. Altec earned more fantasy points for this loss than Piglet did for his win.

mistaya posted:(Kobe during the hour long Grav/Dignitas game was the best single casting in the LCS so far this split.) Kobe is pretty much straight up the best Riot caster right now, given the loss of Deman and Joe. Every NA game should be cast by him and Jatt, even though I actually like Phreak. Jatt can complain about how the teams are bad and Kobe can be excited about everything. Phreak can analyze and Riv can interview.

I wish Riot casters were allowed to dump on bad games like Monte sometimes does.That's pretty much all I ask.

There's a huge difference between playing well and playing in a way that gets you fantasy points, though. Gambit played two miserable games this week, but because they were both really LONG miserable games with lots of sloppy back and forth kills, their members posted between 50 and 75 points for the week.

I've finally gotten time to watch the WFX/CLG game and I have to ask, is CLG actually getting better like I think they are, or is WFX playing like garbage this game? A fifteen minute ace is nothing to scoff at and CLG absolutely dominated the lane phase, but it seems to be more of a matter of WFX being really sloppy. I guess they are still down a player though.

It's very weird that people don't understand this. It's also weird seeing CLG win so many games, I wonder when they will implode.

Not playing Flame is weird because I'd say hes in the best 5 top laners world, and has been for... forever basically.

Krystal making a case for being the best ADC in the LPL. That guy is a loving beast. Uzi dreams of making the plays Krystal has pulled off in the last two games. Holy gently caress do not give that guy Kalista.

Are they really playing on the NA server? That doesn't seem like it'd play very well with high ping.

Why exactly isn't League popular in Japan? Or any esports for that matter, now that I think about I've never heard of a major Japanese esports team winning anything.  Edit: Oh apparently they don't even have League servers in Japan, they have to all play on NA apparently. The gently caress is that, how is this anime as gently caress game not popular enough to justify being in Japan?

I heard (from a Japanese dude) that it's a cultural thing. Being about as secluded, xenophobic and culturally homogenous as South Korea, they're not really open to outside influences. First of all they think gaming is for children, imagine Western society's thoughts of gaming around 1995. Competitive gaming of any sort is a completely alien concept. And nobody really plays computer games anyway, PC gaming in Japan is (Japanese) MMOs and dating sims, nothing else really.

Surely competitive gaming isn't that much of a foreign concept, doesn't Japan have a strong presence in the fighting game scene?

I'm not an expert, but maybe they do  That would make sense since fighting games are basically a Japanese invention.On a cultural level taking gaming "seriously" is very much frowned upon though, maybe that's what I was trying to paraphrase.

Semi-related to this, they also have, or at least had, a really strong pro magic the gathering scene. There were several at the last world championships.
