Moon isn't very good at securing objectives.

E: Welp, that's probably the game.

E2: Aaand, TLA is out.

Is Piglet on TLA so Steve can try to sell an LCS spot for a million dollars or is he not a good player this season, I haven't watched at all

Piglet has been fine, and he's way better than Fabbbyyyyy. He's on TLA because the team can't figure out how to distribute gold and it was their solution to put more on Dardoch.

Also the fact that there is personality clash with Piglet/Dardoch/Loco if they all in the same team. Piglet and Dardoch have bad attitude. Well atleast Lourlo has looked decent since Piglet left. Their win condition is basically Dardoch snowballing or Fenix carrying teamfights late game.

to me i think all you have to look at is the stats to prove how much better keith is. for instance when echo fox win, keith has good numbers, but when they lose, his stats look bad. so its obvious that keith is the guy who dictates whether the team wins or loses. whereas piglet had some good numbers in a defeat, which means he just can't will his team to win. he doesnt just win games. and thats why Keith.

Piglet is totally hosed over because bot lane meta is just baby bitch utility carries right now. They should have just said gently caress it and put him on hard carrying late game poo poo every single game. His Twitch game was beautiful.

It also didnt help that the game they decided to ban Sivir so Piglet could go off, Froggen's Vlad made TLA commit to 3 mid bans for the rest of the series.

Ignar's Ruby Thresh doesn't have a single complete item and Hybrid's Eyestone Karma is sitting at 45% CDR and almost full build. LIke, I don't get it in terms of pro priority on these items. 20% Item CDR doesn't matter if you don't finish any active items to reduce via the Ruby stone.

people had high hopes for misfits because they have meme players but the gap in macro skill (presumably) is still a bit too large for most teams to really overcome unless the org has a lot of staff analyzing games and they're also able to get scrims with some LCS teams that really bomb hard that year since it seems like otherwise no CS team is able to learn it well.

The Tiamat inexplicably came first and then the mini-Sunfire. This Rek'Sai is ready to do a really lovely job of warding and split-pushing with zero durability, just what you need in a pro game with your job on the line.
