its cool that parth won coach of the split when he was also coaching them last split during their disaster run that they only turned around when weldon started helping them out

TSM integrating Biofrost so well is pretty impressive, but TSM assembling the Doublelift/YS lane and forcing them to both do things they're bad at was probably even more impressive.

Yeah the mindgames in champ select were strong this game. At least IMT's comp is finally looking like something that can fight but i suspect they're lacking cc

this is almost certainly true of every team. the team with first tower has an incredible win percent on this patch

it actually makes a lot of sense in the context of why he quit the team initially, i guess it's not a problem now in a friction sense but it seems like its an in game problem so idk.

edit: i hate monte bc i am like him :saddowns:

I wasn't trying to be sarcastic I legit think immortals is at their strength when they just do w/e and play scrappy, I think that's why they flub so hard during important games cause they're all like "guys we gotta play srs this game and try to bring together a comp with a strategy" then they just gently caress it up. Just run random carries and make good individual plays, that's where they strive.

i think this is why people dislike lcs casting so much. "c9 might turn this one around if there's a sloppy ace"

if you have zero towers you need like, three aces minimum for that.

Meteos bans gnar if he feels he's not getting enough respect as team leader.

Oh man I missed another yasuo top game. I went cycling and C9 lose a game.

Imo C9 and Imt are even in terms of teamfighting without taking comps into consideration because Sneaky/Impact are much better teamfighters than their counterparts. Huni is only effective 50% of the time which is when he is fed.

Heres what I think: shen into vlad is really bad, malhazar actually sucks, and sneaky's EZ made wild turtle's ashe look good. I think c9 should draft the following comp: rengar top, lee sin jungle, zed mid, two more zeds bot lane. This is to counter the incoming riven top pick.

The LCS casters could generally cast accurately if they wanted but its their mandate to pretend like every game is neck and neck at every moment & that its their job to scream while the nexus explodes regardless of context.

Actually Wildturtle has only looked good on Ashe/Sivir the utility carries. It fits IMT's comps a lot of times because their toplaner doesn't take cc so they need utility/cc bot. Also he has had some decent games on Ez. But I do agree a triple zed comp is very strong.
