i'd be surprised if ANX were able to take a game off G2 just because Zven vs aMiracle is just such a significant mismatch in terms of contributions, both G2 and CLG have weak/inconsistent solo lanes but Stixxay (who did have that ridiculous damage per minute this game) isn't as well-positioned to just stomp lane vs A Literal D2 ADC because of how he plays. CLG will probably play a far tighter comp against ANX next time , it's possible bc they have to be thinking "three support bans" which is a fun limitation but yeah i think we settle back pretty firmly into ROX > G2 > CLG > ANX for the remaining games so no hilarity

I meant that if anx win against clg again then g2 probably beats clg as well, which means that when g2 beats anx again they'll be tied at 2-4, clg at 1-5, and rox laughing their way to a top 8 finish while g2 probably beats anx again to get to top 8 as well. I think it's entirely on huhi and darshan to not suck butt but we'll have to see

g2 haven't played anx yet so if they 2-0 anx and beat clg they'll be 3-3 so they're either tiebreaking vs a 3-3 clg or it's anx 2-4 and clg 1-5. but yeah butt sucking prob will happen

They should adjust the Worlds client to allow a team to surrender at 10 minutes if they pick Poppy and/or Oriana

oh wait i'm still dumb, they won't tiebreak either way because clg are 2-4 in that case

Imay definitely had no real response to SKT, which is unsurprising. SKT thankfully knows how to close out a game when they have an advantage, and watching Faker is always a treat. Blank's Nidalee mechanics were also impressive to see.

hauntzer is super loving smart but struggles post-laning phase because he can't control and construct things like vision in such an orderly fashion, whereas wunder is a complete loving monkey but is the pro equivalent of a lane master yi main

Doesn't that just beat all
In the regular season TSM only lost to the 2 worst teams, echo fox and pheonix, because they didn't do what they expected from a normal team. How do you defeat an enemy that has no reason?
