Bjergsen best performance of this split and a game winning pentakill.

Oh I forgot he also had that insane Ryze game vs TL.

Ya I haven't been impressed with him. He has the benefit of having some of the best laners in the league but still does nothing. Seriously he looks like Meteos v2 except maybe less worse. Meteos was only decent on Zac/Olaf.

Imagine if C9 had first picked Maokai instead of Varus that game. I don't think they have won a single game where they priotized him and Sneaky is much better on the Jihn.

lol Varus was not the problem, they just played super passive and had terrible performances by mid and jungle

Also I don't know what C9's comp is suppose to do. Let shen split push while the other 4 just hold turrets and disengage? They can't teamfight TSM and its hard to get a pick on them because of Nami/Orianna shields.

I think there definitely was a window for C9 to push their early botlane lead. If they just took Varus mid when TSM went top they could have forced them to back off. Sneaky/Smoothie sat in an empty lane for so long and then Contractz came when it was too late to get turret first blood. If they had gotten mid turret they would have gained huge map/vision advantage and set up their vision further.

Try to get picks with Varus+Thresh. Varus was really strong but they never grouped or manage to group. They should have just 5 man dive mid with shen ult on Contractz when Bjergsen started going to sidelane. He was their main source of wave clear.

Maokai was the problem. They gently caress up their pick ban every time they emphasise Varus.

Its funny because their even week games have been vs top tier teams almost always meanwhile their uneven week losses has been to Liquid/NV low tier teams.

They have beaten TSM and Flyquest in even weeks.

Rumble pick was useless in this series. Why pick a carry top when both toplaners are so op on tanks?

League of Legends is a simple game: 10 young men try to blow up nexuses for nine weeks, and at the end of the split, TSM wins.

(this was all C9 throwing tbh. TSM is still a trashcan and I'm not happy about the way my team won. >_>)

Why didn't they just pick Fiora vs Shen? Fiora has a good winrate so far in NA LCS I think it has won almost every game. Anyway would have liked Impact on a tank and Zed became even more op thanks to C9 all being paper thin tanky.

Also :holymoley: Bjergsen's Zed. That was a legit brilliant pick alongside Shen. Perfect shen delivery system + assassination enabler. TSM didn't execute it that well but it's something I expect people to copy going forward.

I wonder if Zed will make it through bans tomorrow in the Flyquest/Tsm series maybe Bjergsen will play Zillean since he loves playing that champ.

IG stalled out for an hour against IM while up 20k gold, managed to throw at elder dragon, saved their nexus at 10%, and marched back over to the enemy base and won the game

Meanwhile, mlxg is the best jungler in china, by virtue of not being actively detrimental to his team, and that's a really depressing thought

Bjergsen made his name playing sidelane Zed with a Shen on the team. Copenhagen Wolves did a lot of ridiculous 2v3s and 2v4s back in the day, while Deficio and co shoved towers

I was about to make fun of Balls tp with no kill pressure until Hauntzer just stood there and got chunked out for free.

fake edit: :lol: but Bjergsen just stands around knowing there's 3 people already in mid and dies. Balls is so invisible that TSM literally forgot he was TP'd to raptors 8 seconds ago
