Schnorkles: Apr 30, 2015; 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.

Ruler was Bung, Crown played his rookie season in Brazil. How can you beat these guys?

What is that character Wunder is playing? I saw someone playing that during KR Bootcamp and didn't recognize it.

I have faith in SSG then.

The power of BUNG will not be denied.

There have been a TON of panicked summoner spells used in worlds. Seems like every single team is having major nerves.

Brazil's Top/Jungle duo just ran the pain train on EDG and there was only a brief stall-out where nothing happened.

The other IWC team was beating ROX Tigers for the first 10-13 minutes or so but didnt do anything

Fair enough! TBH I haven't watched any CBLOL games, so international events are the only knowledge I have of INTZ. Hope to see them continue winning, anyways - with H2K and ahq looking a bit dodgy, one dares to dream they could be the first wildcard team to make it out of group stage?

That's fair. I think Revolta is the only Brazilian with a skillset complete enough that allows him to compete and carry a team in Worlds, at least the way I rate skillsets. There are other players I think have fantastic mechanics like Kami that I can't see ever succeeding because of serious teamfighting/teamwork issues but I'll keep my thoughts short.

To me the impressive part is that they managed to close the match. INTZ was ahead in gold but they were one bad teamfight away from losing since EDG had more potential for a good teamfight and Brazilian teams traditionally choke on mid/late game when they can't close it fast enough. EDG was trying to turtle as much as possible and they were doing it decently since they knew the late game favored them. I was actually expecting INTZ to fall off and lose, so the victory was really surprising.

I'd love to see them keeping up the performance. INTZ is one of my favorite local teams. If somehow a miracle happens and they make out of group stage I'll be a very happy Brazilian.

I had to drive for 9hours today and missed CLG v G2. I know CLG won, but I don't know how the game played out. Was it entertaining / Is it worth watching a VoD?

It was a very cleanly executed victory. If you like seeing good macro, it's worth a watch.

CLG played a pretty crisp macro game and G2 looked really lost. If you like good macro watch it.

Splyce has a bunch of global ultimates that they fired off in a really lovely pointless sequence that probably lost them the game.

It was really nice of spylce to just sort of wander in one at a time to get killed like that

Realchat: did any europe team practice at all? I didn't watch H2K but both G2 and Splyce look like they are on completely different wavelengths with each other.

Edit: We're never gonna see Kled again :v:

eu's summer split looked pretty abysmal in comparison.

this shouldn't actually be that surprising.

Kobbe and Sencux are actually playing pretty well, it's just that Wunder decided to, uh. try out Kled for the first time I guess and Trashy hasn't shown up yet.

I get a distinct feeling that TSM is feeling very good about getting out of the group right about now
