And it doesn't matter lol. He had some awful positioning during sieges which gave p1 elder and baron due to him getting chunked.

So many throws in the 2nd game of p1 vs dig.

Keith solo threw that game he had e up and should have reacted to Varus ult which is very easy to dodge in at 8ping. They got baron buff off that and inhibs thanks to that.

IMT don't look that good either. EF actually look good because of how well Akaadian is carrying their early game. Too bad Looper is a tank player mostly because they need another carry + Froggen because Keith is a major weakness. Gate actually looks good if he had a better adc it could have worked out well for EF. I don't know why they intend to keep Keith so much. They should get another Rookie na adc as sub to try him out.

I am impressed by how good the talent spread is across the NA LCS this split. It's hard to say who will come out on top but most of the games look like they will be worth watching. If I had to make any prediction it would be Liquid getting figured out in time to be fourth or fifth by the end of the split.

Keith gets the x120 bonus from sharing the first two letters of his name with keven but a -1000000 bonus for being worse than the korean players on his team, so it's not looking good

QG finally playing and my boy Doinb looking good. He is picking Karma mid which I still spam in soloq hopefully he builds athenes it basically makes the lane free vs AP champs. Of course Syndra can still kill him but with the heal and shield its definitely tougher than when you rush morello.

Also favorite new comer of LPL has to be ben4.

Did anyone mention that Newbee's supports name is Pinus but during the LPL English broadcast they call him Pdiddy lol.

Also why is there so many Chinese players with generic English names like Ben, Marge, Megan. I am just waiting for the next lpl prodigy Bob.

Just wait til Keith is benched/replaced. Probably won't be too long. I feel so bad for Froggen, and the new jungler looked great.

The third game was actually a pretty good test if Froggens shotcalling was good enough to win a 4v5 game

How were the CLG matches? I was kinda busy playing real and good games, so I couldn't watch it

CLG were meh for the most part but Liquid looked good and managed a comeback win in the 2nd game. Lourlo looks much improved compared to last split. Last year even on busted tanks he was underwhelming. Reignover played a carry jungler which is rare and he looked good on it in the first game but 2nd game he was probably the worst player on the team. GoldenGlue was the weak link in IEM pre season tournament but he looked better here but he was laning vs Huhi so who knows what was really up.

CLG's solo laners looked like they hadn't played the game for months but Stixxay and Xmithie played fairly well imo. Stixxay landed poo poo tons of ults as Ashe in the 2nd game which gave them a winning chance. Imo Darshan looks worse every split he has played and Huhi isn't consistent either but he has games he carries from time to time. Like Syndra games in playoffs or his Viktor games or any of his previous Sol games. I don't remember 1 game Darshan doing well even on Tanks or Carries.

Same procedure as every split then. Might watch it later

TSM vs IMT is basically NA LCS in a nutshell and its only been 10 minutes
