A while back before a major tournament instead of bootcamping and practicing G2 notoriously went on vacation. They were then savagely beaten.

He was trying to zone them off and kill minions but ya if he was going to fight he should have waited for Expect.

Expect really lost them this game imo. If he used his tps a bit sooner in the first two teamfights G2 might have won them.

I'm genuinely impressed by how much NA has pulled up its socks this year. Last year was a drat joke to watch, but CLG absolutely gave G2 the business that game in a way that didn't involve just outfarming or outfighting them.

G2 got poo poo on at MSI this year, turns out they went on vacation for (a part of) the time between split finals and MSI. That blew up.

Hmmm I guess compared to other teams in the best region in the world, North America, they might have looked a little weak. But they don't have to fight top tier teams right now, just G2.

So I'm kinda getting back into League for worlds after not caring since midway through S4, right after they pooped on the assassin meta. The meta seems pretty tanky right now, but there's a whole lot of viable picks it seems. Am I off the mark here?

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
CLG are really good at the PvE game but I doubt they're every going to be beating people regularly that have the same amount of gold as they do :v:

CLG took some early leads off G2 mistakes (Like Expect not using teleport well) and then they just kept pushing for objectives while G2 were afraid to fight back or just getting run in circles.

What are the chances Albus Nox defeat Rox? Rox have had some weird losses in international competition like vs Team WE and FW. Is there any hope for the Russians?

I wouldn't call FW beating Rox weird since Flash Wolves are like 4-0 against Korean teams

Its more likely that the teams do the fusion dance and become Albus ROX than albus nox wins, probably.
