...yes, they were behind on dragons and gold because they kept throwing resources top lane at an ekko while ambition soloed dragon and their other lanes farmed? what about this don't you understand

it's not like h2k played well at all, see [THROW AT BARON], but ekko being a joke of a champion was on full display here, in the same way that nidalee was in game 4 yesterday

It's too bad ANX totally luck sacked their way through, or else H2k would have been out in the quarters

I actually really respect anx in their group perfomance and felt like their quarters was a bit of a let down I'm just saying that with the korean dominance being so clear I feel like the overall placements don't matter as much as the actual games against the good teams.

i think the only way clg could beat h2k is if they all got sucked into the giant black hole clg fields in mid lane every game

more relevantly, banning mf and not prioritising zyra, because you are aggressively attempting to lose bot lane

jankos needs to go full first blood god in this game or cuvee is going to drag this game away by the heels [assuming bot lane doesn't just die to olaf repeatedly, like last game]

Shouldn't let anyone get Jayce and Jhin on the same team. With even a small lead their siege will be unstoppable. It's really miserable from what I've seen this tournament.

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.

ArbitraryC posted:

they were behind in gold and dragons despite being 12/5, I dunno what game you were watching but it looked real one sided to me.
Things that contributed to SSG's win:

*Ryu losing early game pretty handily while Crown is on his signature champ
*Nidalee being so broken that Bengi could play her
*Ekko being broken and out-scaling almost every top laner so hard that he can literally split-push forever unless someone sends 2+ players after him

Olaf was huge and nobody had a good way of dealing with him that game, and SSG's bot lane lost. What allowed SSG to do what they did was Ekko/Nidalee taking objectives and staying as far away from team fights as they could. H2K threw the chance they had to climb back at Baron and it was over at that point. It was a bad pick/ban that lost H2K that game, SSG got 3 power picks.

I hate gimmick slots. It's purpose is expanding viewership and playerbase rather than getting the best teams involved. I'd rather see KT Rolster and a We/Gu than a wildcard.

Koreans teams are notorious for not trying their hardest in Group's because they don't want to reveal too much to other teams. It's always been true, this is why Samsing Ozone didn't make it past Groups in Season 3 (They were loving around too much and lost a tie breaker to Gambit)

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.

I really like that gank tho, head bot and you either get the kill or not but you force them into a defensive position for free, if they countergank top in response you trade a kill for infernal drake otherwise you can just take the push, seems kind of win win.
