"comparing 2016 CLG to previous versions of CLG" when the most recent split they played was pretty middling

I still don't understand your point. The spring split was also in 2016 where they were number one. Even Reginald went as far as to say they were the best team then. Is your point that if you ignore all the times CLG did well, they only did poorly?

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

What if Jayce is the clown pick that everyone thinks is good but the worlds meta is actually: every team that picks Jayce loses???


RIP ROX?

It's a little bit juvenile, but it's simple and it's timeless.

We let it be known that Schnorkles, for a snack, eats tiny pieces of shit.

You're picturing it and you're talking about it. That's a win in my book.

Yeah, when evaluating a team you should definitely ignore their performance in the immediate past for how they performed six months ago on a meta that is 10 patches outdated.

The guy people expected to be the worst jungler at Worlds is running circles around who people thought was one of the top 2 junglers. Albus prob not going to win team fights but still :lol:

poo poo, you totally got me. I forgot when mentioning considering all of 2016 that the NA LCS 2016 was not in the year 2016. As such it's OK to ignore the 2016 NA LCS summer split as part of the ear 2016.. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.

He doesn't seem comfortable on him at all. Going into games like this where you're pretty certain not to pull off a win, he should've just pulled out the Zyra card or someone else he's got confidence on.
