yeah it's not a good look, you can't fall this far behind with a comp like that at this level of play. We're prolly just gonna see impact jumping in on them and dunkin everyone.

Also lol at "maybe this gnar needs to be banned away from impact'

Gnar is probably the top lane power pick on 6.15 and its utterly ridiculous that people keep letting Impact have it. he's still gonna be good on whatever else but it wont be a pick where he can split push and absolutely crush the opposing laner.

If you can't play Kennen into it you gotta ban it. Which means in NA you've gotta ban it 100% of the time. C9 keeps getting like full on KT power comps and taking really strong stuff on the second and third rotation and its bizarre.

The undisputed best way to deal with being behind is going ARAM for 2 minutes, sharing 19 creeps among the 5 of you

huni and pobelter were equal in farm to their lane opponents 5 minutes ago, now they're both down 35

I just started watching game 2 but uh why would you put Ekko on a team with nid, jhin, and varus poking over like, trundle? Is parallel convergence really that good at forcing disengage?

I think huni's gameplan is to feed gnar and do nothing in teamfights

Because IMT's comp does not work if they aren't ahead in gold and can set up at objectives a minute beforehand and poke?

who even did win coach of the split? i assume it went to weldon since tsm crushed the entire split since that seems like how they decide the awards.

also, while I like the idea of reapered being praised for C9's drafts, they played two cookie cutter teamfight comps with strong laners while IMT very possibly drafted the top 2 worst comps you can have while picking meta champs

one thing i will say is that RO not warding his blue OR starting his blue AND smiting early was 100% his own fault and such an easy and weird mistake. i mean very good junglers are getting three buffed on nidalee on the current patch against poo poo like elise and gragas. he should really know better.

IMT has been a functional, but broken team, since inception. They don't communicate, they don't draft and they've had success where they'd outplayed teams out of the top four. Gotta imagine the VCs are going to tear up this team unless they reverse sweep.

it went to whoever is the main tsm coach that's not weldon.

i'm sure he coached bjerg and doublelift real well
