HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

Apparently all doublelift needed to mature into the top tier player he claimed to be was to have the best player in the west as his mid. A player so good dlift is forced to look up to him.

Its pretty crazy to see dlift being a shotcaller while schooling every opposing adc and flame horizoning them.

I wonder if the casters realize that TSM secured their bye the moment they won the first game because of how the tiebreakers work.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

This probably only annoys me, but why is the LCS production not consistant between streams? I don't mean the studios or casters or whatever. I mean stuff like the streams straight up using different assets (I'm guessing one set is the old set).



Totally different LCS logos in the bottom left, different font spacing/size on the scores, "Be Right Back" vs "Coming Up", the difference in size of the Instagram(?) logo etc, it just bugs me :spergin:
Since I've worked in production like this before it's really likely they're using two different Tricasters (Or whatever they use for live production) and they just haven't synced up everything yet. It's a bunch of small things and they've no doubt got two different teams running everything at this point so it's probably low priority. After working with a Tricaster for so long they're so drat finicky and sometimes changing something small in a production environment can ruin so drat much.

Now that they've secured their byes, should TSM and IMT rest their starters heading to the playoffs or play them and risk injury?

to turn this around though, doesn't it seem a little weird that C9 never tried to play Bunny with Altec on C9C? those two dudes were a decent lane in the first place. i guess they can't now because the roster lock already happened, seems like it would have been a lot better to come to this decision a week ago.
Roster lock-ins are due soon and the new Challenger/LCS rules say if you've played too many games in LCS you can't go to a challenger team, so he was locked out. He's sitting on the bench streaming until he can get out of his contract.

I want to see TSM pull the CLG classic of sending their whole roster to Korea the last two weeks and replaced them with Dyrus/Oddone/Regi/Chaox/Gleeb and then tank in playoffs and lose every single game.

No, 10th place will play against MIllenium with the loser being eliminated. Then the winner of that match will play the 8th place LCS team and Misfits will play the 9th place team. Winners to LCS, losers play for the last slot.
