:laffo: RNG is bad if they can't snowball. Amazing decision making, perfect teamfight synergy. All IM has to do is wait and RNG will gently caress up sooner or later

Since they can no longer lane swap deep freeze to draw out games to interminable lengths, the cowardly eu region has resorted to destroying their own computers

This delay is actually ridiculous for a series that's probably going to have 50 minute games on average

Ya this pause has been so long considering how long they did the preshow analysis. People always complain about ESL's long pauses but Riot has them too. Normally champ select problem is resolved by just redoing the champ select.

I watched the entire 10-game LPL semifinals on highlights in the time this pause has been going on.

It was the first time I really laid eyes on WE and IMay teams this year and I'll be pretty happy whichever one of them gets the 3rd seed for worlds (assuming that some dark horse doesn't steal it). Both of them look like really good teams.

What in the actual gently caress is happening on the EU LCS Delay? I've just had it muted forever.

Hopefully I pulled all the URLs correctly (I think I did). Each clip is between 5-9 minutes. You can watch both Bo5s in about 30 minutes each.

Game 1
Game 2
Game 3

They just said they are gonna trouble shoot some more. It's an audio related issues for one of the players. Can't believe this is taking so long. I doubt the games will end by the time NA LCS is suppose to start unless they are super quick stomps.
