Is this game being broadcast or just highlighted? Their CS coverage is so weird I can't even tell what to expect.

They don't broadcast the games from Tuesday, so they show those at the start of the stream. But they are actually playing another game for real right now. Basically the teams play the same team two days in a row, and they only show the second day.

I don't understand why they do this.

I do like the fact that if Origen wins the CS they just automatically get to replace MYM now and we won't be forced to watch Origen eviscerate MYM in a best of 5.

Quas is a beast but I think Piglet would have to be hands down the best player in NA for Liquid to take over the first spot.

I like the idea but disagree with the hyperbole. They need to demonstrate a lot more for me to want to slot them Top 3.

Liquid is only one game behind CLG for 3rd, but then again Team 8 is in 5th and only one game behind Liquid.

I just double checked the weekly splits.

Liquid's record when using
Keith: 5-1 (Percentage-wise ~1st place)
Piglet: 2-4 (Percentage-wise ~9th place)

That's what I mean when I say I need to see them demonstrably perform better with Piglet, because they play extremely well with Keith, so I don't know why bother with constantly swapping him out. Like if they just kept Keith all season they'd probably be in 1st or 2nd place based on the evidence of the games they've played.

I'm going to go ahead right now and say that I think either Liquid or TIP is going to be the #1 team at the end of the split.

Playoffs.

You know, it's not like CLG or TSM aren't talented enough to beat those two teams, obviously, but it just seems like CLG and TSM are about as good as they're going to get while TIP and Liquid have much higher ceilings.

Also, I bet Link starts to burn out soon and play terribly (like we all know he's eventually going to).

TL has actually played all their games vs tsm and clg and only has one to go vs c9, they could reasonably go 5-1 from here on out and maybe more realistically 4-2 dropping two games to some combo of c9, winterfox, and team impulse. All of the current top 3 still have multiple matches against each other. It's kind of possible for liquid to finish in first.

C9 is my favorite NA team and I would love for them to win this split but I'm not sure they have it in them. Hai's viable champion pool still seems really small, and I think better coaches are going to take advantage of that.
