I didn't watch the game or context but like Keven said Corki doesn't build lethality and on Corki you want to survive the lane vs burst mages so you take exhaust + hexdrinker. Its really hard to die with those two things. One of the main reason Corki was to counter Syndra because of the exhaust/hexdrinker combo lets him basically 1v1 her at most points in the game.

It's just scaling armor pen so like at level 1, 1 lethality is .6(?) armor pen and at level 18 it's 1.2 armor pen or something like that.

Lethality is scaling armor pen, yes. The confusing part is that it scales with YOUR TARGET'S level, not your own. If your target is level 1, 20 Lethality is the same as 12 old armour pen. If your target is level 18, it's the same as 20 old armour pen.

New lethality values are higher than old armor pen values though, so in that way you do end up with more armor pen at 18 than before

yes but Corki itemisation and play pattern doesn't make great use of Edge of Night whereas it makes wonderful use of Maw because of the ability to have Hexdrinker in lane and then the spell vamp and life steal in longer fights and engages when you upgrade to Maw. Edge of Night is only useful for Corki in a situation wherein you're somehow going to get out of lane without Hexdrinker but also desperately need the extra MR/anti-burst, but not before like three items, so in conclusion It's Bad and LS Is Wrong.

Ya I always hear the casters say its 50/50 magic/ad for corki's damage but its definitely 70 or atleast 60 magic damage. Because he gets very low ad items like triforce/i.e. Before the build was triforce/botrk/i.e so maybe back then you did more ad damage since you are going to be using your aa's alot more. Also I played him a bunch mid and I always do significantly more magic damage.

They also announced the format(s) and seeding implications for MSI and World's.

So, firstly, MSI will be multi-stage event with 13 teams, one from each region including wildcards. KR, EU and CN get seeded directly to the group stage due to (on average) stronger performances over the last two years. The rest of the teams play a play-in to get to the group stage (NA and LMS getting a first round bye):

MSI still has seeding implications for World's:


As for World's, the top 3 teams from Korea, the top 2 from EU/NA/CN/LMS and 1 wildcard are seeded to group stage. The 3rd best teams from EU/NA/CN/LMS and the wildcards (including team #2 from the first wildcard region) compete in a play-in for the rest of the slots:

What is it with the Varus fetish? It's legitimately Not Good Enough (TM), if the sample of a bajillion games played is anything to go by. It wins much much less than Jhin or Ashe, it's not worth an FP even on a poke comp.

varus' winrate is more reflective of his absurdly high pickrate than him being bad, much like karma at worlds (ashe is the zyra equivalent in this metaphor) except replace 'karma is only good with olaf' with 'varus is good with anybody who does anything to that dude he roots'
