I wanted to defend him earlier re: Thresh, but man Yellowstar does actually really suck at Thresh. He's baited at least 5 people on his team to death in this game alone.

I would like the EU LCS a lot more if quikshot weren't the main caster.

But is that him being bad or communication issues? How does Fnatic handle the Korean/English split? Fnatic kicked some rear end but SK didn't take this laying down. This was a kickass game and what LCS should look like, two goodass teams taking their gold and fighting each other with it, not pussyfooting around for half an hour and having a dumb farmfest.

LOL @ Reignover & Huni jumping up and down then Reignover tearing rear end over to Febiven & co to hug them. Nice to see them excited. FNC & SK: 2 cool teams

Xmithie and Santorin are both fair to middling players that are on really good teams and Meteos hasn't looked great along with C9 recently. Helios is decent I guess but not to this level. His only competitor for the title is Sven, more or less.

The top 3's Reignover, him and Sven, with an honorary mention to Meteos.

Really loving good game. I agree with the previous posts, let's just have a best of five with SK/FNC for the #1 spot and UOL is at third. SK are going to play angry tomorrow. I'll prepare the eulogy for H2K

Is the pace of games today really slow or is it just me? It's been almost 4 hours and they've barely finished 3 games, and there were no pauses.

Santorin is playing like TheOddOne in his prime but with better mechanics. He has been a great fit for TSM's style. Reignover is really cool, having a nice reksai game and being able to play Rengar makes him highly desirable from a western fan perspective alone.

Yeah I'm ready to name Svenskeren and Reignover as the top 2 of junglers with Santorin coming third. I think comparing the top 2 is a bit difficult since Reignover plays a much flashier style with more gold funneled to him. Santorin, with Svenskeren-esque gold, beats whoever comes fourth with a very reliable "Dyrus: the Jungler" kind of play so far. Suppose Xmithie's fourth, he's had his moments but also quite a few plays that just make you scratch your head.

It's really clear that they took that loss personally, because the derp moment against T8 aside, they've looked insanely hungry all split.

He was really really good in Coast's promotion series (like, one bad game and solo carrying his poo poo team for the rest). I remember calling it then and there (in the previous thread) that the dude was going places for season 5

Seeing the Fnatic players so excited for the win was great. Huni's enthusiasm is so  Now to see if Gambit can defeat a falling apart MYM. Either way its going to be a slopfest

Who knows, TSM has great coaching and a grueling practice regimen, at least by Western standards. I think their schedule is a solid 12 hours a day 7 days a week during the season? They get days off here and there, those are for streaming I guess  I don't know any more than you, but I figure that when you find a hungry, talented young kid who can thrive in an environment like that, effective training can produce surprising results. Regi took a real close look at him and that's how he knew this would happen  I'm going to need a drink for this game, god drat it. Ihki fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Feb 19, 2015 |

Gambit saw how good Roccat's comp worked earlier and saw how good Fredy's Renekton worked earlier and wished to wed those two ideas to make this team composition.
