Ya I know and I was saying Monte overblew the situation.

It sucks that we won't get the LCK casters but maybe they will get Froskurin. Not a fan of her casting but as analyst she knows a lot about China only 2nd to Papasmithy/Karon Moser. Rusty is also pretty good from the LPL casts maybe he will get to cast in an international tournament. Clement Chu was at MSI for Riot, there is a good chance they will have him. The LMS teams look pretty good.

Have you listened to Frosk lately? Her casting has improved by a million miles this year.

actually yeah i like frosk and Generic Australian Man too, as well as deficio, but doa/monte is still prob my favorite duo to listen to in general

papa and akilios are good too but i feel like akilios is still getting used to working with the LCK crew, like a growing pains sort of thing

yeah, holy moley. Samsung might actually get to worlds. I was thinking that KT was virtually guaranteed the spot, but during the Afreeca v. SSG series I saw some good play from Ambition and now Crown is playing incredible. Hopefully they make it, I like the idea of CoreJJ going from relegated from NALCS to Worlds in 1 split

Also to be fair Wraith was the support for 99% of the split and also arguably the best support in LCK for the split, too. Honestly Crown has been v good for a bit now, everyone knows Ambition is good, and BUNG has been a very solid addition to the team. dude team fights well and lanes well.

I don't understand playing Kalista at all right now, she's the worst ADC in the game. I played her the other day and can confirm it both statistically and objectively.

Is anyone watching/watched the LMS? The highlights videos are all hosed up for J-Team / M17 so I was thinking about checking on that later I don't know.

i havent watched the series yet but even ignoring kalista being a trash champ for idiots atm i don't see why you would pick her without kennen or like, alistar supp

e: okay yeah if you really want kalista then i don't see why you wouldn't just take kalista/kennen second rotation, esp since kalista/gnar is just begging for kennen to be taken away

It's a little bit juvenile, but it's simple and it's timeless.

We let it be known that Schnorkles, for a snack, eats tiny pieces of shit.

You're picturing it and you're talking about it. That's a win in my book.
it's impressive how giants have rubber banded from bad to good to loving terrible.

if dignitas were playing any of these games today they might be worth watching, but instead i will spend my 100 beers watching unpaid labor dying for millions of dollars so that schools can buy t-shirt guns, and in the SECs case, whatever racist fat idiots like to buy
