Also this is looking pretty good for :china:, though admittedly TSM are looking a lot better than I expected. Props to Regi and Locodoco.

No, TSM needs to win 3-2 and then they gotta meet again at Worlds. That way WE really does achieve Maximum Rocky.

Sneaky looked frustrated as hell in those games and I get the sense that a lot of their inner turmoil comes from being stuck on a squad with Hai/Lemon, neither of which he seems to have respect for. You can possibly add Balls to that list now. It's hard to imagine a different C9 but if they don't do something I could see Sneaky looking for better offers.

I think it kind of helps that the LPL is a thunderdome. People cast Chinese League as being reckless and aggressive, but it just means that every team tries to make plays all day long; there's no Coast-equivalent punching bag that you can rest easy against. Combined with the sheer number of games they play, and surely even the worst teams like WE build up tilt resistance, whereas GE crumbled.

You basically only see Sneaky duo with Meteos so there might be something to this, although I have seen him rarely duo with Lemon. It's sort of frustrating to be ADC during games you're losing massively though as it can feel helpless.

Of course this won't be a problem when we also get C9 Jesiz to replace Sneaky.

Sneaky and Lemon seem to get along fairly well when I see them run duo on stream. And when he's asked about it he doesn't crap all over Lemon. Hai and meteos seem to have been the weaker links in the team, with Hai just crapping himself when he gets behind and Meteos being about as spikey as you can in terms of performance.

I did. I figured they'd love that kind of poo poo. You can even see how I failed to properly crop the image in the bottom right corner. I wanted to add some faces of GE in their bunny suits similar to the faces of Alex, Froggen and Peke in the Qt pic but that got way too complicated :v:

Sneaky admitted on his stream at one point that he prefers to duo with Meteos instead of Lemon because he sees Lemon making mistakes and, unlike Meteos, he takes their work together very serious and it ends up pissing him off. Other people allow him to chill out. He also rarely invites Hai and only offers up "he's too trolly" when he explains why. I think "too trolly" actually means "he sucks." Add to that Hai's insights on his own performance and how frustrations were mounting in their scrims because of his poor performance and I just can't really draw any other conclusion. It's pretty evident than Sneaky is extremely competitive and he's really the only one putting up the numbers on his team this split.
