Reignover was garbage vs CLG to be honest. Xmithie outperformed him everygame but at the same time its not hard to outperform Darshan's Shen as Huni when u get Ekko.

Still kinda harsh on RO since he has had to carry IMT most of the split alongside Pob. I don't think IMT win this because a lot of their success has been on Pobelter this split. CLG decided not to ban Vlad for some reason vs him and lost for free. The problem with Pob is unless he plays out of his mind he won't be good enough to dominate someone like Jensen or Bjergsen like he can dominate Fenix or Huhi.

Are u kidding me? C9 just gave Reignover Reksai and Pobelter Vlad. Only reason IMT looked so bad vs CLG was because they force RO on Gragas/Elise, C9 let him pick it for free. Why pick Gnar 1st rotation when Huni already picked Ekko? Also I know Jensen does well vs Vlad but still thats one of the best picks for IMT alongside Malz.

Horrible draft by c9 unless they really outexecute IMT, I think imt got this one.

reignover might not have played the best that set, but neither did Huni and in the history of the duo since FNC it has been the complete opposite of the quoted statement, with reignover having to camp for huni to go off or else he just feeds

I switched to the Youtube stream this season and it's way better than Twitch. And yes, lolesports is a really poorly designed site.

Ya I agree with u just that RO wasn't as good as usual but huni has been poo poo all season. I wonder how he got mvp vs CLG when he had free farm lane vs Darshan's shen every game.

What do you do with a drunken Viking?

Why C9 why? Reignover getting Rek'sai feels disastrous, and putting Meteos on the easily counterjungleable, zero damage Zac feels even scarier.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

I feel like zac made more sense when the enemy team was very immobile when he pulled it out vs TSM...

Vs IMT who has pool, blink, dash, tunnel it feels like a trash pick and I expect RO will flame horizon him before this game is done

Giving up reksai's farm advantage for an ocean drake at 7 minutes seems questionable to me

e: I respect using gnar ult to clear the wave though

Being 8 farm down to reksai as zac at 15 minutes is more than fine, which is why I'm pretty sure RO's decision to take that drag at 7 minutes was a bad one

Bad draft by c9 but their teamfighting is better than IMT. Pobelter had great ult in that 2nd teamfight but it feels like IMT need more items to teamfight properly. Impact still monstering .
