I will answer this question after work today.

Also I don't remember who it was, maybe Wol? Someone asked me about Legend Dragon, if you're still interested they're on right now: http://lol.qq.com/match/lpl/index.shtml

Ahh darn, missed it. Thanks for the tip, though! Mostly interested in their performance against LPL teams, but watching them in their natural environment might be fun too.

Because I have nothing better to do with my life. If we dropped the third game out of the NA LCS (I.E. used the EU LCS Best of Two) the standings would look like this.

code:

        (W-T-L)
 1. TSM (7-3-0) 24
 2. IMT (6-4-0) 22
 3. TL  (4-3-3) 15
 3. C9  (3-6-1) 15
 5. CLG (3-4-3) 13
 6. APX (2-5-3) 11
 7. NV  (2-4-4) 10
 7. NRG (2-4-4) 10
 9. FOX (1-3-6)  6
10. P1  (0-4-6)  4

CLG would gain a lot from the EU style and NV would lose a lot. NRG, FOX, and P1 are at the bottom either way. For a bold prediction play offs will be: TSM, IMT, TL, C9, CLG, NV. APX will finish 7th and NRG, FOX, and P1 will face relegation.

Now go through all of the EU teams and see how they would have fared in best of threes

I enjoyed the hell out of this op.

also I will happily read that write up whenever you have time squid. I'm wanting to get caught up on LPL as we head towards playoffs and worlds but its a lot of games and tough to know where to start.

CJ Entus bodied Jin Air twice with Talliah, being a Jin Air fan is suffering

Totally a fan of more Jin Air suffering if it means Freecs have a better chance of making playoffs!

if you're a fan of cj, jin air, clg or any team froggen has been a part of then you just need to be honest with yourself and admit that you crave punishment

rabidsquid: Oct 11, 2004; LOVES THE KOG

I like to watch both cj and jin air because they have some individual players who are cool to watch and i genuinely do not give a poo poo if they ever win a game.

Also that's true of every single team in every league, except a lot of teams do not have anyone cool to watch.
