Stixxy missed a curtain call shot vs an immobilized target. Does a knockup change your x/y position?

Stixxay is currently overdosing on caffeine pills like Jesse Spano, and he's so scared. With that in mind, he's playing probably better than anyone at this tournament except for maybe Huhi

He's absolutely solid on AS and Vlad, but I haven't been impressed by his play on any other champs. He really needs to expand his champion pool if he wants to play at next Worlds.

it was a very bad play, but it was performed against g2, who cannot capitalize

Huhi does alright on champs that get relatively tanky and play a frontline type of role (vlad, asol). On every other champion, his positional mistakes and his tendency to play way too far forward in teamfights gets exposed. He can also keep up in damage output on vlad and asol compared to his traditional mages since they're not skillshot reliant. But outside of vlad and asol he's pretty awful, probably the worst mid in the tournament when not on those 2 specific champs.

I mostly like the Player Experience casters because, since it's not the main feed, they can talk relatively calmly about things and also go, "Oooohhh..." when someone really fucks up.

I"m actually amazed how often the casters will miss a crucial moment in a team-fight and then make up for it by yelling loudly after the play is already made and someone is dying or has already died.

Give me a pile of IPAs and I'll cast Worlds but it will be better because you can watch me slowly degenerate into incoherent yelling and spilling beer all over.
