Speaking of import junglers, I found out that the Winterfox support Imagine was a jungler. I guess the support they originally signed was so against the Avalon signing that he's refusing to play. He is their sub atm.

Core/Kiwi have good synergy, I don't know why you would break that up. Just bring back Cloud/anyone but Azingy.

WFX's original support was Ignar, who's a top 20 Solo queue support and the person that WFX had practiced with when they were in Korea. He refused to play with the team after he heard that Avalon was getting signed, which is why Imagine's enterance was so delayed: Imagine was literally picked up at the last second

He knew that Avalon was awful and refused to ruin his fun by playing with him.

god drat i played a 25 minute aram after the dig cst game ended and it was still 10 minutes before the next game's picks started. I like the variety of picks in this game but I dont expect anyone to ever have a good game with Hecarim

Yeah at this point like Helios isn't good enough to be worth having the Avalon anchor around their neck. Replace him with Imagine and you can ditch Avalon and have your original support and Altec back on ADC if he would be willing. Then you just need to find a new top. It's a lot of roster changes but honestly I think they need to get rid of Helios if he's the reason for this in the first place.

CLG is the best in NA at early game strategic play, they really know what they're doing. What's expected on top of this is them losing the mid-game to some dumb as heck team fights.

I couldn't even finish typing that before that weird rear end engage-disengagement down bot :unsmith:

Methodical as gently caress. I really like Gravity and my old man StVicious, but their ward control was trash. No effort to clear the 6 pinks CLG had on the map, token effort to put down vision in their own jungle. CLG is just fuckin ON this game.

Cop on Graves is always so weird. Seeing a 20 minute Graves at 0/0/0 every game seems like a waste.

These poles made from wood, and the crossarms from iron.
Gravity not engaging at the 3rd dragon after Lulu and Hec ults were blown is baffling.

In retrospect, that one fight at Dragon where CLG wasted all their ults and Gravity decided to go for the 50/50 smite war instead of trying to engage seems like a really lovely decision.

Keane is kind of like a 2013 Cop version of a mid laner, Saintvicious is kind of like the 2013 version of himself. Sorry guys, you're still kind of a bad team :sigh:

CLG looking a bit shaky in team fights, but man if they're not doing everything else right to make up for it.

That teleport force at the beginning was the the death of Hauntzer. He fell so far behind and couldn't do a drat thing to Zion the rest of the game. Gravity gave up on Top lane rightfully so, but they really should have cleared out their not side and doubled down on Graves getting up in that Jinx.

Gravity was so strategically, outplayed but I hesitate calling it a bad game. Worth watching the first 15 minutes.

They didn't punish the no flash Hecarim when they had Liss/Sej lockdown and they let him get away with the super greedy TF rush. I have no idea how that happens.

Paragon looks 8 years old and Avalon is still loving awful. It's like paying money to import Cris

the level 1 ended in 2 kills for wfx there. avalon got a kill, went top and started losing to the 0/0/0 lulu dyrus.

paragon got a kill and went bot and turned it into a 30 cs lead.
