Hey remember that one week that people thought Cris was really good :lol:

To be fair Slooshi is so fed right now that I think he could kill Cris with one skill rotation if he doesn't have ult up.

Edit: Slooshi is now two items up on Mancloud, haha.

Apparently Krepo has been duo queuing with Rekkless recently and the current rumor is Elements is set to replace Nyph with him. Nyph hasn't been good but wasn't Krepo widely considered one of the worst supports in NA last split?

Krepo seems to be joining Elements as their starting support player, Elements getting a new wife before the old honeymoon is even over.

Obviously this is what Krepo is thinking, but still, Jesus Christ

I just hope he has a plan for when they drop him because, like Wickd, he isn't enough of a playmaker insert bullshit reason here.

As bad as Krepo has looked at times, I don't think he can shotcall worse than nyph has this split.

I think Krepo really showed improvement towards the end of last split, but I don't know if I'd take him over Nyph. Constantly switching players sounds alarm bells too.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

Krepo actually looked good at the end of EG. In every interview / talk show he said he devoted a lot of time to improving and it showed. Nyph's not great but this seems more like a lateral move skillwise with the expectation that maybe Krepo can provide more shotcalling/engaging.

I don't think Nyph should be replaced. In every facet of the game he's better than Krepo.

He's not better than Krepo at playmaking, and Krepo isn't even that good of a playmaker. Honestly it looks to me like they could use a good team presence more than they could use mechanical upgrades.

It also sounds like having Nyph as a caller is not working.

I really wish there was some kind of filter one could apply to block out riv's voice. I'll gladly listen to someone talk to themselves for the entire game. He has his decent days but most of the time figuring out what he's saying is just a constant distraction while trying to enjoy the game.

Riv and Quikshot basically have the same problem: Endless catchphrase repetition. I'm pretty sure someone must have told Quikshot about the phrase "Heavens to Betsy" between day 1 and day 2 of EU LCS this week. Never thought he'd miss an opportunity for a dumb rear end catchphrase but he didn't even use it once day 1, where day 2 he couldn't go a whole sentence without saying it.
