Dignitas have the only 3 bans and first pick, and let Fox get Poppy.

If Fox win this game I will laugh until I die.

I actually really don't like support poppy because poppy is brain dead loving easy to play and scales so well off solo lane budget that even if she's very tanky support in a meta where there are practically no good tanky supports except alistair, poppy with a budget can basically put a team on her back with zero actual intellectual ability

Totally agree. Poppy in top lane is insanely strong. Especially here, even if poppy had to deal with a double jungle or 1v2 lane phase, poppy would be much more useful than ryze on a lowered economy.

I feel like they went Support Poppy in response to Trundle, which is strange, because Trundle is super weak in any position right now. I don't think Trundle is as good a counter to Poppy as say, Kench.

also it seems weird that everyone is always like 'turtle the god!! yes!! pobelter!!' when it seems like every game reignover gets first blood, destroys the other jungler, makes perfect engages and still nobody ever seems to mention his name. he has hard carried almost all of their games

This is from way back in the thread but I was busy all day!! I admitted awhile ago that RO is super improved and honestly I think he might be more valuable than Huni now tbh

Trundle is considered a hard counter to Poppy but it's actually a skill match up. The real Poppy hard counter is Nautilus but I don't know when you're going to see an LCS team get brave enough to play him

CJ has stuck Untara on Nautilus twice (both times as Poppy counters!) and V from QG likes playing him a lot. He's more of an LPL pick as I am pretty sure the only non-LPL Nautilus games were those Untara ones.

edit: Nope lmao Hipo is 0-4 on Naut, but Najin is quite bad and I don't have the context for why Hipo has been playing him

Nidalee has been a very strong pick in LCK and LPL for the entire split, that would be a goofy rear end reason to finally notice she's good.

Shes been reasonably strong all season and is the favorite champ of a few junglers in nalcs and we're moving towards full blown fail aids heal/poke comps but like i'm not sure if there's ever a nid power level where its correct to fp secure her for crumbz

A jungler that properly knows how to snowball their game and apply pressure and be relevant is incredibly important now, and honestly with all these teams underperforming Reignover somehow looks world class right now, and so does Trick. More than anything, it makes me wonder how loving rad that LCK would be right now if they hadn't done away with sister teams and China didn't buyout half the players.

People kept picking her for the wrong reasons and she looked garbage. Until the right junglers used her properly in other regions NA and EU were just using her like "Okay early game pressure, right??" and then doing gently caress-all for 20 minutes. The new AP jungle item helped a lot too

This week was upset week in money league. Literally every single 'high seed' lost due to a miracle rally from the low seed. Me, KBD and Wol should probably bet on the lottery soon.

My opponent in Geraputo's league did the same right back to me thanks to Cloud 9 going ham, so no worries, I've already got my just desserts. :v:
