Fnatic v. SK was pretty good. Gambit v. H2K was pretty good.

You can watch UoL v. Roccat if you want to see a dream die.

For as lovely as both teams are, MYM played really well in their Game 1. I doubt anyone is falling over themselves to watch a matchup like MYM/GIA but that game was actually decent and MYM executed really well with their new support player not sucking rear end (a big step up from Nisbeth).

Agreed with this, far more exciting than the Gambit game which was really just a stomp in slow motion. (I might just be bitter as a Gambit fan but I don't think so :shobon:) Showed actual signs of progress on MYM's part, and not just on the personnel swap

I just want Alex and Yuno to be in the LCS. I think genuinely, outside of Madlife, Yuno is the best thresh I've ever seen, judging from her time in China at least. To be honest, I think I'd most like to see her paired with Veritas. I think they are both strong contenders for best in role in NA outside of the LCS.

It's so strange that players of this caliber are in challenger limbo.

But how is she at non-Thresh supports and at general support meta game stuff like warding/clearing, etc.? Being a Thresh God isn't the same as being a legitimately professional level support overall. I mean, I'd love to see her in the LCS too, but it would be a shame to see her (or any Challenger players really) get in and the flounder because being good in solo queue isn't the same as being good against Fnatic/SK/TSM/CLG or your choice of Korean/Chinese teams.

Oh, and how has Alex Ich looked? He's a sub for Team 8 already and if they don't get relegated there should be a spot open on the team next year if/when Cali goes to school. If Alex has gotten back into form I could go for a Team 8 led by Alex Ich.

Him being a sub for t8 is only them doing him a favor for visa purposes, I don't think there is any intention of him actually playing for them in any capacity.

Honestly the games look really lopsided today - I think the only good one will be H2K and CW and even that could reasonably end up being a stomp.

I can't wait for Origen to get in, mostly because they'll probably be a middling team and xPeke can laugh more that he's getting people to pay him and four others to chill in Tenerife and play League.

I like Roccat's team composition better (minus the Lee Sin), especially because of the balls to bring out the Twisted Fate who is the best champion in the game.

But SK will probably piledrive them with Rengar/Gnar shockwave wombos.

I actually don't mind trading kills for objectives provided that the gold lead doesn't go out of control. I think the exp from kills can help a lot.
