4-0 in dragon buffs is a huge power difference. I don't understand how Gambit has kept this gold so even despite getting basically wrecked this entire game.

Don't think I've ever built Skirmishing Sabre but I'm seeing it quite a bunch, is it that good on certain junglers?

It's definitely good on a couple - J4 and Fizz, specifically. I think it's okay on Vi, but people usually get ranger's in competitive play.

Edit: Why isn't Kat played more?

Diamond builds it all the time but he's pretty much the only person in the world who prioritizes it.

I don't think it is.

I think it's good, it does more damage than chilling smite and it guarantees you win 1v1s with the other jungler when you run into them at the crab or elsewhere, plus it's really nice if you're diving onto an AD later in the game.

Let this game remain as an example to all the people in the main thread who are like "lol no one plays Katarina she's so easy to stop". Sometimes you gotta bring 6 or 7 forms of hard CC and throw them all at Maokai before Kat jumps in.

I think Gambit's strategy of trading a turret for dragon at all points in the early game is okay, but you see the risks of it here: you let the other team get 5 and you're done more often than not.

They need to tighten up their team fights. They hosed up 2 big fights where they got a pick & then just blew everything allowing Fox to go wild on them, which let SK get dragon 4 & 5.

From what I've seen of Roccat's play this year, they generally prefer not to fight. Or end games.

People in the main thread have no problem coordinating solo queue teams to play better than LCS teams. It's your own fault if you something or other, Katarina sucks, the main thread players are so smart.

Also the MYM support always picking Leona into any matchup even though they almost always lose and are almost always behind is probably my favorite EU storyline this season.

How does any support player get to the LCS as a leona only specialist? Thats like the least likely thing i've ever heard of.

He is a dog that can play league of legends, but can only play Leona. Not very impressive for a pro, but if you think about it a dog having a small champion pool is no big deal. Most dogs cant play at all

I still don't understand why he wasn't unceremoniously booted halfway through the season. Was Roccat really that unwilling to shell out money for Puszu or Tabzz? I don't get it. I don't get it at all.
