He's a short-range mage with limited cc and an awful laning phase, he's always been pretty easy to counter-pick

Last game they did. And even had a better laning phase (keeping up in CS anyway). But iirc that's also where faker got a solo tower dive kill with annivia and only a tear on the Vlad.

ROX gave Bang Sivir and Bengi wasn't Beongi (even on Graves) so that was pretty much the end of it right there.

Vlad still has all the same problems where all he can actually do is slowly walk towards you and do some aoe damage if you aren't a mile ahead or if you didn't draft a really heavy engage team to force them to actually fight you with his ult on.

Meteos says the reason for the pause in the Echo Fox/Cloud9 game was a loud obnoxious beeping in their headsets. Echo Fox called for the pause and they took their headsets off until it was fixed, while Meteos says that officials instructed Cloud9 not to remove their headsets. It's possible that Riot didn't know it was affecting Cloud9 too, but without Hai's Shotcalling to tell the referee there was an obnoxious loud beeping noise that was giving them all headaches, they just sat there in silence the entire pause duration subjected to torture.

I'm pretty sure they were allowed to talk during the pause, Jatt or whoever was casting even pointed it out and clarified that since the pause was taking so long the referees allowed the teams to continue to talk

He said the referee instructed Cloud9 not to talk and that the "Issue was being handled" which is where the confusion from Cloud9 came from (Assuming that the referee's knew about the beeping issue)

You think meteos would be more comfortable with loud obnoxious noise in his head sets, on account of being a player on cloud 9.

I just can't believe they put up with loud beeping in their headsets for ten minutes and never bothered to complain to a referee. They really are hopeless without Hai

The rule is dumb. I wouldn't even want to talk about the game necessarily, just to talk at some point during the 5 minute span. I don't think the teams would benefit that much from talking in the first place.

Yeah I mean it was obvious to everyone that a team with SoaZ probably wasn't a good fit with Forgiven but holy poo poo did that go really badly really fast

As someone who's not very versed in pro League (i.e. my level of knowledge is "Doublelift probably has an ego the size of a planet" and not much else), what's the beef between SoaZ and Forgiven?

soaz doesn't play league at all outside of scrims (if he ever does play solo queue he just used to play adc or top lane blitzcrank), whereas forgiven has always practiced far too much and usually expects the same from his team mates

Soaz and Forgiven are also two players very prone to their emotions so I'm sure that would have caused issues too.

Reddit is suggesting that teams be shown the first 6 dragons to spawn so they can draft around them. I say maybe only 3 dragons because 6 is pretty much all of them but it's still a good idea imo

To be clear, there isn't any kind of long-standing beef between Soaz and Forgiven, they just have well-known tendencies that would inevitably make tgem clash in a team environment (as above posters have pointed out).

Someone made an interesting post with elo calculations on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/4n2yai/global_professional_elo_20112016/

interesting to find out that sheep is the worst player of all time

here is the full list

http://pastebin.com/ZinLBCUi

xpecial is 27 and bjergsen is 181, so maybe this somehow rates early losses incredibly hard. For example, darshan is ranked super high but should have logged a bunch of "bad losses" on GGU. Maybe he didn't account for the namechange
