Since when is Doublelift passive aggressive? Whatever dumb poo poo Doublelift thinks he says openly.

I wouldn't be too excited TL fans. Beating noted bad team CLG doesn't mean you won't choke hilariously just like last split.

Cause he's Vlad. If he wants to land a Q he has to eat Kog'maw spit/glitterlance/rockets/phosphorus bombs.

CLG got the Vlad ult/Karthus combo off though. They might reach the point where even with all those shields Karthus will just murder Kog'maw even after he's dead.

Because even after an impressive early start he still has huge team fighting positioning issues with some super questionable teleport calls.

Or CLG can blow all their CC on Nunu, have Zion miss his hemoplague, and die to an angry Kog'maw.

On the bright side, my predicted 3-0 victory for TL is looking drat good.

was it the fight near mid where kogmaw accidently walked right ontop of sejuani and then xmithie spent the next 6 seconds of his miserable life running away? i guess he can hit them point blank (sometimes, he missed it on nunu in the red buff death brush...)

Yes, that was the one, Kog was in the back river brush and Xmithie walked onto him and had to bail.

I think CLG was really good this split (so like 6 or 7 games against teams with subs) until they threw the teamfight against TSM when they contested the 5th dragon. ever since then they've been completely worthless. That loss also kept them from going to IEM Katowice iirc
