I think it's up on LoLesports.

When I go there, for NA it's NV v TL on Sep 3, Noon pacific time. Next series are the subsequent days, same time.

What's everyone's single favorite split of League of Legends? For me it's Champions Summer 2014, 15 games worth of KT Arrows in the playoffs is about as good as it gets

Never really understood this line of thinking because it's not like anyone who coached the apex world class of professional athletes (like Kobe or Jordan or Lebron in NBA) would ever be better players than them but they are all ostensibly coachable.

What is the difference?

Like nobody is better than Faker and he has one of the most authoritarian coaches in the world, so...

also afreeca versus samsung is on and game one was pretty good, Afreeca actually won. But also SSG benched Wraith who was possibly the best support in LCK this season, and also his backup is CoreJJ who has never supported before this split. Also Wraith is their SHOT CALLER!!!!

I'm Danish so I'm allowed to be critical. It's the complete lack of effort on his part that annoys me. Compare Froggen to Bjergsen and consider how long each has been on an English-speaking team (remember that Bjergsen played for all-Danish CW/NIP before TSM)

Letting CuVee have Ekko over and over was Afreeca's biggest mistake. He hosed them so hard on that pick relentlessly.

CoreJJ also played insane on Bard.

Those two picks/players destroyed Afreeca and they probably should have banned both champions in later games.

Ekko should be banned every game IMO. We have way too much evidence from the past two weeks not to know this. It is great in lane and scales super hard and easily wrecks backlines.

:agreed: Ekko goes away briefly when he's nerfed but every time he comes back with a new build and it's just as strong if not stronger. He's another Azir case where Riot will absolutely dumpster everything about him at some point to get him out of the scene.

uhhhh there were multiple episodes of the TSM show where Bjergsen outright refused to listen to him and argued against him. A couple arguments stemmed over what Bjergsen was told to pick in Champ Select and what he actually went with

I disagree. I think Ekko's ability to be tanky and safe is going to continue to get hit and his viable build will slip more and more towards asassin. He's more likely to hit the lucian/thresh/kassadin/ezreal balance zone where no one is rushing to first pick it and it's not in the pro default pick list, but it gets picked sometimes and wins sometimes but it's kind of a risk to go for it over something more generically s-tier. Huni will probably keep picking it because he hates tanks and sometimes it'll show up for a particular comp or lane counter.
