How the gently caress is Flyquest9 top 3

My God how is liquid so bad. It's like piglet and reignover are fighting against their entire goddamn team.

Is akaadian a rookie because he's playing drat well... And keith is garbage

Edit: and I know piglets not playing amazing either anymore but it's a really lovely feeling when you know some of your teammates are garbage. There's a lot of pressure and you start feeling like you have to do risky poo poo and overperform to win and its not fun at all. Source: all of our colleges moba teams

Most people are high or drunk when they watch the games from the previous day

Riot split the games, Spottv has certain nights a week, OGN has other nights a week, because Riot like to destroy their esport brand. It's all broadcast on LCK1 irrespective of broadcaster for the West.

Riot basically did it just to shut down OGN because OGN had come to "represent" League in the LCK, and was too powerful.

Also SKT vs MVP g2 was a good watch, MVP did a solid job.

There's like three teams better in EU challenger than the middle of the pack EU LCS.

P1 v TSM is probably gonna be p. cool to me, an idiot.

He's a bad shotcaller but an awesome player

TSM's issue has always been that they don't have a good, cohesive vision of how to win and get poo poo done

This is part coaching but also that they don't have any good field commanders. Kinda really hard to fix because it's difficult to get old talent like bjerg to listen to new people, and even Yellowstar couldn't command TSM to play different.

Chernobyl Peace Prize: May 7, 2007; Or later, later's fine.
But now would be good.

Here's the TSM ban phase strategy I'd like to see: Don't leave snowballing champions, especially Kha'zix, open when the meta involves low-mobility ADCs and yours is Turtle.

Fly's amazing double fakeout draft zigged, zagged, faked TSM out, and then drafted a bad team.

I wonder if Froggen being on a bad team brings out his inner "I hate everything" in which case I want Echo Fox to finish 10th every split but never get relegated until Froggen retires.

Eve is the only oddball choice, but Moon is probabl the best Eve on NA ladder and it works well with Shen

Balls, the retired 8th best top laner in NA, is better than Flame, Ssomeday, Huhi, etc.

Cody "Cody Sun" Sun has been underwhelming as gently caress.

And how can you not like Olleh, star of teams such as Hong Kong eSports and paiN Gaming? What a pedigree this guy has!

C9 draft is probably the best comp you can hope for on this patch. Impossible to walk through Daisy, MF ult and Syndra orbs to do anything and even if you get a pick on a person they have like four forms or shielding or healing between Ivern and Shen. Just gross. Plus, Shen can just stack MR for the split vs. Naut and TF.
