I'm pretty sure they lost long before that. They picked Jinx.

i'm not defending the pick, but, i don't care what your draft looks like, getting poo poo on like that this early in a game means you're incredibly out of it

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.

International Wildcard Qualifier for Seed 1 is happening now there's some big pompous concert being played before hand and the audio is crackling, no idea.

At the very least maybe third time is the charm on an interesting series today?

I actually think Jinx is in a decent spot after Ashe nerfs. Her laning phase isn't what it use to be but Jhin/Morg can beat pretty much any other lane. Jinx can push early game and take turret really fast. The problem is Jynthe is fkin garbage. He can't dodge 1 morg q in lane even with flash up he died twice. Liquid actually had good laning in the first two games but threw their leads. In 3rd game they just got tilted and destroyed.

They should have maybe take Kench with Jinx. A lot of Korean teams take Kog/Kench combo. Jinx is a bit safer than Kog but Kog's late game is crazy even compared to Jinx.

Jinx is probably going to be a high priority pick / ban at worlds but I don't think they're on the right patch yet

Please don't joke about Jungle Kogmaw I have PTSD from ranked due to it.

Also Forgiven is doing an AMA so far some interesting answers. He said he could go pro in any game he has played and that he only plays league because its his job( he doesn't have fun playing it anymore).

Whoever mentioned the "priority" thing in the main thread, the Riot casters must think the same because they are using the word priority to describe basically every movement either team is making which is really obnoxious.

I heard that Giants was doing some kind of high level roster loving around with negotiating with players to replace some of their players so their team chemistry is probably below zero. Liquid is the same. Both teams should have just forfeited their regional match.

Hmm. I wonder what kind of roster change they're looking at this time. Smittyj was one of their best performing players at the end of the regular season - the only reason I could see to replace him is if the old Dignitas "attitude problems" have resurfaced. Night sometimes loving feeds but has otherwise been a good carry who can probably grow into an excellent one, so replacing him would also seem misguided. None of the others are complete stinkers but I guess I could see it being open season on replacing them? They aren't exactly inspiring.
