Luna Was Here posted:honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they gave stixxay more time vs the lower end teams (GV, T8, whatever team Seraph is on) and brought DLift out for like one game against TSM or C9 before they start switching them around and putting in Stixxay vs TSM/C9 provided DLift stays true to his feeder roots Probably is the best way to get him experience, and to give Double a kick in the rear to keep on his game. Hopefully Pobelter with a better organization will become a better player rather than the "King of Relegation".

rabidsquid posted:CLG actually signed Trick2G to help them come up with patents so that while they lose in Summer Split they can make money off of other team doing patented CLG invented maneuvers such as "rotations" or "choking." Obviously ZionSpartan wants to play more Nasus and Trick will teach him the intrinsic details about Opening the Gates.

Seems like Coke is taking their partnership with Riot pretty seriously. Here in Turkey they have branded Coke that has codes you can redeem for 20 rp: . I'd be interested to find out what sort of other server specific promotions go on. I know KR/China/Garena have some cool unique stuff, but I guess smaller regions do too. Wonder how autonomous each server's admins are.Also, I've seen signs for Besiktas, of Besiktas fame, and one of the tram stops here is named "haseki", a la Yauo.

Yeah Link needs to step up a lot more than just "he didn't disappoint that much last split" to justify keeping him on the roster. He basically needed to turn into a Pawn or edit: While we're on the topic of roster changes ESL continue to stack their roster too http://www.eslgaming.com/news/chobra-and-uber-strengthen-esl-broadcast-team-2016 Savage Cracker fucked around with this message at 16:53 on May 13, 2015 |

Are either of those players going to be much better than Link though? Maybe the problems were deeper than just Link not being that great ingame...

Mostly I'm just happy Forgiven isn't going to spend another split without a team. Even if he has issues with being on a team he's obviously very skilled.

I just hope that Diamond and Edward still give a gently caress and can roll hard with that lineup. I forget who, but one of the other EU LCS junglers (I think Kikis maybe) said that Diamond is probably the most terrifying person in the world to play against when he's motivated and practicing heavily, but that you rarely see that Diamond anymore.

^^ Agreed. I also think the standard strategy of banning multiple ADCs vs. Forgiven could be extremely well-punished by Gambit because all of those guys have really strong signature champion picks that they like to roll out that usually get banned quite frequently against them.

Apparently Newbee (TI4 winners) picked up the VG farm team, which has Heart on support and made it into LPL Summer. I was wondering when we'd see them spend some of that sweet Valve cash on League lol (unless it all went to the players?).

And SKT's comms are pretty interesting, especially how Faker seems to read the outcome of every engagement a split second before everyone else does.

TIL that Jungler translates into Português as Caçador. Now I know how to rename my rune pages. I wonder if Araneae got the idea to transfer there when Millenium won IEM São Paulo. I imagine he's probably still pretty well known for that. I didn't even know he still played regularly or had ideas to play in competitive. He always seemed like a really cool guy when he last played. I still root for Kabum Black because Espeon rules. I hope they can win something.

so the coach supported Faker with the Leblanc pick? that's really weird, you can literally hear the elation on EDG's side when they see LB locked in. Wolf saying over and over "i'm dead" is pretty hilarious though.

quote:Xmithie hasn’t really stepped up but tbh he was really told never to step up so not his fault at all. On doublelift posted:He doesn’t trust people in game and a lot of his actions become more soloq oriented and it’s really bad. Grouping is a problem and responding to objectives has always been a problem. Item builds are awful. He probably lost trust in me a while ago. What’s that matter to me lmao. Oh well. It’s like expected of doublelift though. Ego is too big and refuses to improve himself on what’s really more relevant. The micro and lasthitting stuff really don’t matter in a game like league. Strengths are superior laning and ability to be clear about what he wants but that poo poo is overrated. Playing as a team is all that matters. on aphro posted:Guess what happens when aphro leaves to go roam and double is forced into a 1v2 scenario. Double dies or gets chunked for like 90% of his hp and aphro feels like he cant trust him to roam or gets well negative feedback from double. Rush hour is strong, but it’s not that strong. The support is one of the most vital positions in terms of snowballing the map and creating pressure that other roles can’t easily do BECAUSE it is the role that requires the least amount of farm. You have to be able to pressure with little items and vision control. Yet if aphro cant do what he does normally in soloq and what is RIGHT then of course hes not going to enable other lanes what they need.
