Yeah maybe, but they're also running 2 subs against one of the better teams in the league for some reason

2 subs who have only played against Echo Fox because the Challenger team they should be getting competitive experience in is being used to buff stream numbers.

MikeYeung's still the most impressive NA rookie this split, but Cody Sun's been showing up big, too. Very clean auto spacing and good QSS use against a team that's practically built to make your ADC explode.

Zirene: It's strange they're subbing Keith out because he had a relatively good week last time. In one game, he want 0/0/0...

thats the patented cop score line, but all of the cop apologists are gone now so you wont have anyone sincerely arguing that its actually good because he's not dying

cody sun isnt a rookie, he was a slightly below average adc last split on an extremely bad team which is still kind of impressive

I like watching Mike "MikeYeung" Yeung play jungle and he is certainly rookie of the split and I hope that he does well in future. His Lee Sin games at Rift Rivals were awesome.

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.

quote:

Disney announced their investment in one of the most prominent esports team organizations in North America, and that they will air a portion of a Super Smash Bros. tournament and a Street Fighter tournament this weekend on its TV channel Disney XD.

Disney revealed a series of investments Tuesday, Variety reported, including an investment in aXiomatic, an ownership group with a majority stake in the esports team organization Team Liquid. Team Liquid has successful teams and players in a multitude of competitive games including League of Legends, Overwatch, Super Smash Bros., and Counter-Strike. This investment alone doesn't mean too much for Disney in terms of its relationship with esports, but paired with the news that it will be airing tournaments on its own TV channel is pretty huge.

Late last year, League of Legends developer Riot Games sold the streaming rights to League (the most popular esport in the world) to a company called BAMtech, which Disney partially owns with a $1 billion stake. Whether we'll be seeing League of Legends tournaments on any Disney-owned channels in the future is unknown.

This is relevant in a couple ways, such as the potential for League of Legends highlight show showing up on Disney XD, and Team Liquid being financed by a billion dollar company yet still can't win a loving tournament.

Fnatic is looking a lot cleaner. Rift Rivals absolutely pulled back the curtain and I think they've begun to change their easily-exploited playstyle nicely.

edit: a loving 20k gold lead, holy moly

I am not sure if fnatic are cleaner. This is pretty much exactly what they looked like pre Rift rivals. Super dominating early game and finish out fairly quick mid game. Thats why people hyped them up before rift rivals. Just at rift rivals they couldn't do this vs NA teams unfortunately.

They're grouping up more and had much better vision control than I've seen from them. Rekkles also finally caved and is avoiding playing Corki and Kennen.

Still like other user said its only Vitality who are ultra passive. They are good players in eu but most of the teams have horrible playstyles.

Rekkles might be playing Varus this game which is definitely more meta than Sivir.

Man dig had a lot of changes this split. Nice to see Altec playing over LOD who is just loving trash. Adrian is probably better than Big too. Chaser was actually good around playoffs last split but he seemed to never click with his teammate except for Ssumday. Chaser has been let go I think.
