Man, what the gently caress happened to the CLG from early split?

Rivington has always been barely-coherent stream of consciousness, he's the worst part of NA LCS for me by far.

They put on their blue suede shoes all the way from downtown onto towards the ad carry. Don't pay attention to what he says.

Zion is fine, Aphromoo is fine. CLG forgot how to draft over the last few weeks, it's ridiculous.

Zion can only split push. His team fighting is mediocre at best if not actively detrimental to his team.

You are now entering completely darkness
Really, that pretty much all came down to Link using Destiny on Rumble at bot lane instead of destroying the turret. If they do the smart thing instead of the profoundly stupid and wrong thing, they come out way ahead and are positioned really well. Instead, they decide to gently caress their own asses and lose all their lead.

I think CLGs strat around their comp was pretty punishing, and I think actually could have won if played by more competent players. But Link & Xmithie are bad. The builds are questionable.

These poles made from wood, and the crossarms from iron.
CLG picks Lee on second rotation after seeing the Urgot and Sejuani beef picks. They did the same thing last week with Vi, Liss, Hecarim into C9's beef comp. I don't think anyone in their organization comprehends that cinderhulk has changed meta.

Mine was when he was squealing about how there was "going to be a HUGE FIGHT HERE" (literally squealing) at baron near the end when the situation was literally 4 full-health TL members against the last 2 CLG members.

No, Riv, that's not a huge fight.

I mean, if you're going to ragdoll yourself into the middle of the enemy team, you may as well do it on a champ that can do damage after the inevitable consequences.

Yeah I don't really have any issues with it in that sense. More that you generally need another threat from mid, and I don't think Corki will do that by the time Kog comes online.

Casters said that Corki has magic pen glyphs.

So if this is AP Corki it's a completely gross siege comp.

Especially if Fenix gets CDR. 40% CDR Corki shits out an absolutely bananas amount of rockets.

When does AP Corki spike? Have seen it about twice in the past 6 months so don't know. Will it actually help draw people off of Kog after 30 minutes?

Think Jatt's hit the nail on the head, tbh: Quas has completely hosed himself over long-term (even before the first blood which happened while I was typing :shobon:)

I can only conclude that CLG players are suffering from a bad case of nerves. Doublelift's flash+heal to try and get a kill that wasn't even close, Aphro's futile flash away from the Piglet autoattack... just really poor heat-of-the-moment decisions that pro players really can't afford to make.
