Wait, who did they poach him from? I thought he was a free agent before he joined TSM. :riot:

He was on Coast up until he joined TSM but whether or not you think it was poaching depends on whether or not you believe the honest-to-god fanfiction about Reginald and Locodoco one of Coast's employees put on their website. http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/2pjl0w/in_the_dark_of_night_by_team_coast/cmxe15n

Was Jesiz the guy saying he outclassed Froggen? I mean, hot drat. Forgiven is talking similar trash all the time, but he can consistently back it up with poo poo like a 64 KDA.

I don't know, Jesiz is the guy who is 4'10", and 4' of that is his forehead + chin. He basically looks like Peter Dinklage's less attractive & less talented clone.

Meteos is the best crabber of all the western junglers.

Sven is probably tops right now.

I agree with this.

Rush has tons of potential and I think he could end up the best jungler in NA this split.

The best jungler in the world is still Dandy and it's not that close.

To be fair, NIP was really, really good when Alex was playing top lane and they had Nuke and Mithy. Then they got banned for a year.

Speaking of junglers, Kelsey Moser wrote an insightful piece about how IWDominate's jungle career has been influenced by playing constantly with Voyboy and what he has to do now that Voy is gone.

Its always interesting seeing a player's career looked at from a new perspective like that.

Im trying to watch the 1v1 tourney thing and good lord azubu is trash. It will just randomly transform the 4 hour long Day 1 rebroadcast into a 40 minute GBM vs Zefa match that I can't escape from.

From what I managed to watch of day 1 Marin had a really cool play: He was Nunu vs Vlad and vlad was grinding him down, so he flashes into the middle of the lane and ults while Vlad is in his pool. When vlad comes up from the pool he bursts the max charge ult and instakills him. Really great.

SKT only has themselves to blame. They passed up Swift, Rush, H0r0 and ReignOver so they could keep Bengi.

I thought originally they kept Impact, Bengi, & Faker because they needed 3 players to maintain their spot in OGN. Then they changed the OGN to LCK and obviously they merged S & K, by which point Swift was not an option. Thats when they tried out Rush & Reignover. Man, they need to do something though. Toilet is really hurting them.

I wonder what the buyout is for a guy like Swift. I have no idea how League contracts work. Most of my contract experience for sports is with baseball where they are 100% guaranteed so players with nice contracts basically never tear them up.

To anyone who's watching CJ vs IM, what the hell happened in that bot lane TP gank? Rumble seemed to fire the Equalizer it went on cooldown but then it never seemed to land anywhere. He wasn't interrupted.

I've rewatched it a couple of times and I haven't noticed a single red circle anywhere. Even if he fired if offscreen, a part of it should still be vivible, shouldn't it? I'm not certain it even played a sound.

I feel like Space was a bad naming decision.

But I suppose "Easily Catchable Object" passes the character limit.

Good earlygame from CJ put the game beyond throwing distance despite Space trying his best to give it away.

They're pretty evenly matched in top and bottom lane. Roccat has the better Jungler (By miles) but NukeDuck hasn't been living up to all the pre-season hype and looks about neck and neck with Power of Evil (With PoE edging ahead a bit imo)
