Where's the love for the croc?

There aren't many top lanes being played competitively right now that he has a great matchup into and he doesn't provide utility or scaling that would make it worth it to pick him

Is Syndra broken or is Jensen just really good on it? He is rarely in any kind of trouble, wave clears, seems to be fine on mana even without a blue buff. It all looks so effortless.

A little bit of both. It also helps if your opponent picks Leblanc into you...

Syndras pretty decent by virtue of attrition nerfs to other champs without changes to her. She always looks super casual/easy because she doesnt have to stop moving for any of her buttons.

I like IMTs comp but I don't have a ton of faith in Huni to not randomly dive into C9 way ahead of the rest of IMT.

Honestly I kinda want it to be TSM, CLG, and C9 that go to worlds. Huni loves his dumb picks that only work against terrible teams.

Hasn't target banning Unforgiven and Doublelift been pretty big, especially with Lucian at his zenith? Imp's Twitch was also terrifying.

Most of the time when an ADC gets banned it's because they're universally good, but like very rarely does a team ban more than one ADC

Well if IMT has another dumb draft; you can just turn the game off and go do something else and come back to a C9 win.

IMT wins that game pretty handily if Huni doesn't tilt for the first 30 minutes of the game. they had a good team comp for fighting around objectives. They just never got to do that until their base was already falling.

If IMT played to their strengths and had C9's comp in that game it would probably been over in 20. They have to drop the ball pretty hard to lose this series. Go C9. Catapult yourself once again off the startling incompetence of a better team. This is the cycle and it cannot end.

So based on the standings from earlier it's pretty much TSM/CLG/NV/TL/C9/IMT that can qualify for the worlds spots, right?
