And then they waste their time ganking a Maokai and give up lots of kills

KT doing some slick engages on Pray.

e: I think Score going to jungle is starting to look really good, and another example of a role-swap that is turning out nicely. His sense of where to be on the map is surprisingly sharp and he had some solid Sejuani play today. If the tank/engage jungle meta continues into summer it should be interesting to see what an improving KT squad can do.

Man, I haven't been following EULCS that much this year, but based on this thread and just watching the last 5 minutes of this game, it looks like EU really devolved into a poo poo-show. Also what happened to Roccat :( they used to be cool and good and fun to watch.

edit: i'm pretty sure the dragon buff lasts longer if you don't get your entire team picked off when you have it. p sure hec didn't have it because he died in the dragon fight, then leona and diana got picked off with it on too.

Both LCS are the same. There are a few good teams/players that make awesome plays, and everything else is a bunch of coin tosses on who is going to throw.

Roccat is allegedly one of the more toxic gaming houses in existence and overpow just poo poo talks his own teammates every day

Roccat also used their off-season to replace two of their long-term players with a free agent ADC (Woolite) who got released from another border-line relegation team of last split (CW), and a "superstar" mid laner Nukeduck who hasn't really carried anything in any of the games they have played. I think the context of Roccat both of those moves were down-grades even if they may have been on-paper talent upgrades (which is debatable). Overpow looked much better in mid lane last season than top lane. Xaxus and Celavar I would argue outplayed this season's Overpow and Woolite in those respective roles, and Nukeduck hasn't been worth the hype at all.

I think Nukeduck would have been an upgrade over Overpow if they hadn't moved Overpaw to top lane.

Obviously acquiring Woolite was a big mistake and I don't think anyone would say otherwise.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

Celevar was definitely as good or better than Woolite. Woolite does nothing. They obviously should have waited & picked up Tabbz, or grabbed Freeze before CW did if they wanted to swap ADC.

Overpow was always their big play maker, but he was actually quite poo poo in lane & relied heavily on pocket picks & roaming for ganks to stay even or get ahead. Why they thought that would translate to top lane I have no idea. I guess with mages coming back to top lane they didn't trust Xaxus on non-tanks? But I always liked Xaxus.

Ok it must have been the overlay changes when it falls off one member because Giants lost two really early into the 5 dragon sequence and then the scoreboard immediately changed to 4-dragon but it looked like it was still on some of them. Must just be how they sync the spectator or don't let it count as 5 when some of the 5 are dead.

Xaxus had several extremely high quality top lane pocket picks and both he and Celevar moved to challenger teams and almost carried them back into the LCS. It sounds like Overpow is the one who should have gotten replaced after last split and the one creating most of the toxic environment poo poo talking his teammates, but they kept him and bumped others out.

overpow could only win mid lane by playing stuff so absolutely weird that nobody understood what he was doing
