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.
NV coach must have mixed his notes up, last game is when you were supposed to pick Kog'Maw, not Game 5.

Seraph's been hot garbage all series long and it's honestly a miracle that NV have carried him to game 5.

The metrics aren't great, I'd say. At the least, TSM's raw talent beats out DIG's (with the possible exception of Shrimp), and TSM's macro has been consistently good. There's a possibility, but Bjerg needs to just randomly eat poo poo to Keane for them to have a reasonable chance.

Dig have done well in the past with Ssumday exploiting Hauntzer who has been mediocre to poor this split. But top meta is pretty safe right if you just pick a tank and stay even.

Hopefully Dig doesn't only rely on their botlane which they did vs C9. DL/Bio started to regain their synergy toward the end of the split and looked pretty good. Say whatever you want about DL but he doesn't lose lane. Sneaky/Smoothie lost pretty consistently to Altec/Adrian.

I hope Dig try snowballing Ssumday if their botlane gets banned out.

Having not paid attention to LoL for a few years (only watching worlds mainly) this is such a weird statement to the Dig I remember.

This was true as of even early last split. But since they got Shrimp/Cop/Saint their baron control has been the best in NA.

NA LCS Gauntlet stuff:

Teams with locked in amounts of points:
C9 90
Flyquest 30
NV 20

Teams still alive in playoffs (one of these gets the auto-qualify from winning):
TSM 90 + (40/70/90)
Dig 10 + (40/70/90)
CLG 10 + (40/70/90)
IMT 0 + (40/70/90)


I think, hilariously, there's only two main scenarios here:

If TSM makes finals:
CLG/IMT winner gets spot #1 by winning or #2 from points, TSM gets the other
Gauntlet is:
1st seed: C9
2nd seed: 3rd place winner
3rd seed: 3rd place loser
4th seed: Flyquest

If dignitas makes finals:
TSM gets spot #2 off points
Gauntlet is:
1st seed: 2nd place
2nd seed: C9
3rd seed: 3rd place winner
4th seed: 3rd place loser

Wait, poo poo. There might be one thing -- if IMT loses to TSM in the finals, then IMT and C9 are tied. I think it's weighted to where summer points break ties, but if not, they'll have to do a tiebreaker.

Tiebreakers are broken by who finished higher in summer, so C9 can not qualify off of points and must go through the gauntlet.

And if anyone was wondering/cared about EULCS, the same 6 teams made playoffs both times, so the gauntlet won't have any surprises.

It's kind of funny to me that KT's first shot at going to world's all depends on whether or not SKT win a set. I can't imagine how tilted the organization would be if Longzhu won the Summer Split then KT lost to Samsung again in the Gauntlet.

Ah worlds patch is coming soon, let's see what's coming down the pipe. Surely it's not zed buffs for the 4th year in a row. I'm going to check but there's no way it's zed buffs.

And Draven nerfs (?????), and Ezreal buffs. Also Syndra, Ez, MF, Soraka, and Ahri got new skins. God bless worlds.

e: Oh and great news, they somehow found the time to address long-standing issues with a character who has not seen any dev work in years

Ryze Tweaks
We’ll be taking a look at some Ryze stuff soon, with the goal of reducing his difference in power between regular play and organized teams (if he’s balanced to be appropriately strong for regular matchmade games he’s nuts in pro play especially). Approach there’s likely to be similar to the Shen work we did earlier in the year, so moving power around to change strengths and weaknesses rather than changing ability functionality much.

At this point they should make a Frankenstein skin for Ryze, given how many times he's been reworked and rebuilt.
