Rookie is so good that he's having another good game on Taliyah. He's probably going to lose because, RNG, and I really hope he doesn't quit playing her just because he'll be 0-2 on the champ.

he misses kiwi and is trying to roleplay as his lost love because he's very sad

first game of NALCS: envy versus immortals. I think envy win because seraph is cool and my friend. unfortunately they gave up both irelia and viktor

edit: they decided to take ryze top karma mid trundle support. ryze is bad versus irelia nidalee imo

I feel like NV might have saved IMT from themselves with the role swaps.

I think NV was ahead there for a couple minutes but they somehow lost a bunch of speed on the 2nd trade and lost dragon for free

e; hakuho blasts exhaust on cooldown for another summoner trade lmao

Taking the dragon immediately after the turret trades really seems like a bad idea, since your top laner can easily fall so much behind.

i thought NV would gently caress it up because they accidentally denied seraph a gently caress ton of farm last week, but now that i think about it, he took a bad TP and it was his fault anyway. he didn't do that this week and he has seen a lot of benefit from nv's map play so far

i don't know if that statement was a genuine belief bc he's conflating having good laners / almost always winning lane with good macro, or if he's pushing a talking point, but either way it's a ridiculous statement

I don't feel like either team won this draft - it's just a question of who lost it. On one hand you've got Jinx being played into Gragas, but on the other hand you have a three AD poke comp into a Braum.

The Immortals draft is worse because Huni on Lissandra is ridiculous, but it probably won't matter because IMT are stronger individually.

Is that a comment on Huni's Lissandra specifically or Liss top?

Lissandra is a very strong champion in pro play in specific scenarios, but she's also very difficult to play. Throwing her on to Huni in this comp is very unlikely to fulfill any of these things, I feel like Ninja and LOD are dudes whose positioning are poor enough you don't benefit a ton from having a Lissandra to jump on them and I really don't think "oh HELL YEAH BABY" about Huni on her since she needs to play around specific power spikes.

That's great macro play by IMT to take rift herald with no one around that you actually want to give it to.
