TSM needs to sell whatever secret method they used to get a good local player like biofrost to the other orgs and rescue NA. E: also when they didn't have Meteos they had hai "please let me retire I beg you" lam in jungle

Remember when Link had to sub for Hai and he said it was odd playing with C9 because no one talked? It wasn't always like this!

I'm pretty sure the original elise "cum shot" clip was from like, season 4. Memeing is not some new thing for C9. They probably just weren't comfortable doing it with Link.

Signaling to your team mates that an ability will be ready in 5 seconds is effective use of comms. It's everything else that's the problem. I mean I guess you could say CUM SHOT is indicative of a distinct lack of esports professionalism but it's really a minor thing.

C9's efficient use of comm memes has gone down drastically since season 4. Seriously, if this is a typical set of comms for C9, I imagine Reapered is either contemplating quitting or throwing Memeos and Sneaky out a window.

I remember hearing their comms back in S3 and at the time I thought their comms were super clean, especially compared to the rest of the NA teams. That might have also just been because of Hai controlling the entire team though.

Libertine posted:Good signing. I thought something might have been up when he just "randomly" left Roccat the other day. Steeelback is really good and better than Police but Vitality's problems remain the same. They have no playmaking and their shotcalling is super passive. They only win if Shook snowballs Cabochard or the enemy team does nothing and game is decided in a teamfight. I think if they played in the no laneswap patch they would actually do well. I think they were horrible at laneswaps but have very good lanes. Nukeduck is passive but he never really loses lane and does good on certain comfort picks. Steeelback is another passive player who is good teamfighter like Nukeduck. Dardoch said on his stream that he is still looking for an LCS team. I don't know who will get him with all the leaks and attitude problems he has already shown. Still pretty good NA jungler and in summer he was one of the main reasons after Piglet TL did so well. Good playmaking/shotcalling/mechanics but horrible attitude and super tilty player.

Dardoch is one of the most talented NA players to come out in a while but it sounds like he's burning every bridge he can on the way out.

Evaniskas (sp?) was the inaugural LVP. Elementz is a good choice. There were a couple eu LCS teams who picked up support players and dropped them in like one or two weeks because they were so bad I can't remember their names though.

Don't forget RF Legendary, arguably the worst player ever to transition from solo queue star to LCS nobody.

So MF has been doing pretty well in soloqueue for a while now, do you think there's any chance of her getting picked up at worlds, or is she just the type of champion who never gets picked competitively?

Aumanor posted:So MF has been doing pretty well in soloqueue for a while now, do you think there's any chance of her getting picked up at worlds, or is she just the type of champion who never gets picked competitively? She had a lot of really standout win% patches in solo queue this split and I thought many times she would break into competitive. She rotates extremely well with her movement passive. I don't think you can play her into any comp at competitive level though because she has to have a few teammates who can help setup her teamfight and she has to have the ability to get off damage without getting piled on. That second part is the most difficult since most pro teams are just a big collection of piledown CC-chain/killing champions. I think it depends a lot on what the Jungler/Top meta looks like whether or not she can be played. I think G2 Zven/Niels might have played her once this season but I can't remember if that's right. e: Oh yeah and Jhin kind of crowded her out because he's basically the same kind of bully style kit as her except his team fight ultimate can be fired from a full screen away instead of a single gap closer away.
