HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

Calax posted:

WFX vs Team liquid, Week 5 day 1. Liquid has a tiny lead the entire game, Quas is up by 90 CS at 30 minutes, and Liquid has been in charge of the overall game.

Then Altec shows up with a 130 CS lead over Keith and Carries WFX to victory.

So Altec carried a game in which he got massively fed? How is that carrying from behind? TL with a tiny lead? Wtf Turtle has won games for TSM more than once in similar situations. I mean come on, dude got a Penta kill in his debut. He basically won them the CLG vs TSM game by being a spell shield god. He had a 15 KDA on Caitlyn in the 2014 spring split.

And come on Pobelter was just as good as Altec in that game

I was just in the RP store and I realized there weren't any. Why hasn't Riot released summoner icons for LCK or LPL teams? Do they not want people to have the option to rep good teams on their icon? They've had the other icons up forever, and they've even made the effort to build out icon sets for some of the lesser international leagues like Turkey, Brazil, Russia, Oceania, and the multi-country Garena league (although apparently none of those are in the NA store either).

Here Dignitas goes up 6 to 2 at 20 minutes, a 6k gold lead. at 22 minutes there's a bad fight around the Baron Pit that Altec comes out of with a 2 kills, another two off a dragon fight, and EG drags themselves back into the fight off Altec's damage and Pobelter's shockwaves. They lose at the end from a backdoor Zionspartan who manages to trigger a fight that Crumbz uses to assassinate the entire team and immediately finish the game.

Is it purely Altec carrying? No, but he was a very large part of the fight to stay in that instead of it being a pure stomp.

I daresay Turtle may be the most underrated ADC in NA

MY GOD. THE WILL... THE FIGHTING SPIRIT... JUST WHEN YOU THINK IT'S OVER, TSM COMES BACK STRONGER THAN EVER.
I'd say turtle is probably the best ADC in the world by virtue of being the Attack Damage Carry on the best team in the entire world and probably the history of the game, Team Solo Mid. Meanwhile c9 is busy dropping games to relegation fodder "elements." I find it hard to think sneaky is even good at league of legends.

SKT are definitely back; now to see if they can do the same in playoffs.

Also Starhorn are out of playoffs, RIP Namei - they repeatedly engaged into a Karthus for game 1and then let Cass/Kalista get fed for the second. Sloppy stuff.

I dunno Libertine, Doublelift chokes too but I feel like that horrid series wasn't his fault, and he wasn't the one who looked like a kicked puppy between games either (I was actually paying attention to see who'd tilt hardest.)

I think it's better not to be a CLG fan, they're just going to be aggressively mediocre and sit in the middle of the table forever.


This is amazing.

Never a good sign in the booth when you see a player yawning like they didn't sleep the night before.

I really hate it given how risky it is and how much is on the line here, but I'm willing to see if he can pull it off.
