Peppi found a lot of those picks through the game though, he really punished the flanking and overstaying from a whole bunch of H2K members.

Giants... they still feel like a challenger team I think. I'd like to see them continue to improve though.

EULCS is almost starting to become watchable again. Mah Gawd.

Yeah I started Odo. I hope I can finally win a game this week. He should just never pick anything other than Maokai unless he has to, he cranked super hard on that.

I don't get how prolly is a coach, isn't his claim to fame being kicked off complexity?

Yeah, not sure either. I actually like him slightly more as a coach (I hated him as a player), but he still gives off a really slimy vibe sometimes.

The qualifications for a coach are basically:

* have professional playing experience or research a lot of stuff
* have analytical thoughts about the game and share those thoughts with the team in lobby

For all but the top teams its a completely brand new position in Western competitive play and without behind the scenes insight into the teams it is really hard to evaluate how any coach is doing good or bad.

I hadn't actually thought of this either, I guess there isn't exactly a large pool to choose from when it comes to coaches. You can either choose a player who isn't on a team or go with a complete unknown I suppose?

I don't like either team's composition in this draft. Not a fan of double ADC on Fnatic when CW has so much lockdown, and not a fan of Zilean in any scenario or giving up Rumble to Fnatic.

Should be a bloodbath.

and there's no crash or delay or anything.

I watch LCS on Azubu even though I dislike Azubu generally because there's very rarely technical issues on the site.

Have you tried clearing cache/history or whatever, closing browser, re-opening and trying to fresh log-in.

I've noticed sometimes on the various Riot sites that the login/signin whatever gets hung up on something and I've had to log out and dump my cache and re-open and log back in before. I'm not a web programmer, but it seems like their website saves incomplete information or something.

This is the second game in a row that has Alistar in it, is he back in vogue (was he ever in vogue?) and if yes, what caused it?

What the gently caress was that from CW?!?

Unlimited just walked into the baron pit where they knew they were and then flashed away and died doing nothing.

Freeze and Airwaks then engage a 2v5 for no reason at all.

I just... I don't know.

My favorite memories of CW are youngbuck gettin massively fed on trundle then flanking teams at baron and getting poked down to nothing / destroyed before his team has even walked off midlane thru river . I feel like this happened several times in just one game

Everyone has had those terrible matches in League of Legends where your team has a big lead but then takes turns fighting in groups of 2s and 3s vs. the entire enemy team and you just slowly concede the whole map in about 4 fights.

It takes like a series of ~10 collective cocky blunders in a row to do that, and I never thought I would witness a pro team do that in a match, but behold, Copenhagen Wolves.

It's the price CW pays for dragging out improbable lategame wins from better teams; every so often, to satisfy the old gods, they must lose a game they could have won
