Zuna with the bronze level target selection cost them both of the last two fights. Why would you just stand in Ashe's AA range attacking Nunu when you're loving level 18 tristana?

This kinda feels like watching DOTA. It's really enjoyable because it's nowhere near as predictable as your average game of League. Obviously things will settle down as people get used to the changes and the targon's heal is going to get nerfed but I hope that a lot of the unpredictability stays.

Also i really don't see snoopeh/pete/krepo being dumb enough to risk their spot in EU LCS for a potential spot in NA LCS with 2 people they don't know at all and i don't see EG tearing their team down for something as risky as dumb like this. And remember EG almost made it to worlds and EG has kept worst performers (in other games) in their team so why would they break up a fairly successful team.

The only way i see EG breaking up is if froggen found himself a better team.

There have been rumors about the team having internal conflicts. Alex Garfield (the man who runs EG and Alliance) is far and away the best businessman in esports, if he's doing something it's probably a good idea.

Any game where Zuna wasn't on Tristana there was a 70% chance he was going to just walk straight into the enemy head first. He's got bad positioning, tunnel vision, and blood lust and has a terrible habit of dying first without his team ready to back him up. That's not a quality you need on an ADC.

Even on Trist he was terrible. There was a game where he was level 18 trist standing in baron pit with W available, plenty of space to maneuver during a teamfight AAing a tank and he just let Ashe walk up from below and AA him to death, an incredible lack of situational awareness. Vulcun's performance last split is a testament to how good the rest of the team is, especially Xmithie and Bloodwater because they had to carry the poo poo out of Zuna.

Coast would've lost that one if Bjerg had made better use of his ult and WildTurtle hadn't stuck himself in fart gently caress Baron Pit Hell for whatever reason. It was a really great ending, but I'm hoping Coast takes this game to heart, because losing with a giant lead like that would have been a disaster.

Turtle did that several times, and Daydreamin played like poo poo as well. That's how MOBAs are, especially League. The execution skill cap is very low and prediction, coordination and avoiding mistakes is basically what games come down to. Games like that are still fun to watch.

Denmark has probably the best non-native english teaching in the world and everyone has to learn it. They do tend to have a bit of a nasaly sound but it goes away really fast when they speak English a lot. You will basically never talk to a Dane who speaks English and have any trouble understanding them.

Scarra is so well spoken and comfortable speaking publicly, Riot really needs, like desperately needs, to fire Riv and get Scarra to replace him for commentary. Yeah he's a coach for one team but who the gently caress cares, pro sports have biased commentary all the time.

Korean pro gamers make piss all for money unless they are the very top guys and can get big sponsorships and poo poo, then they can make some serious cash. Their whole scene is intensive child labor, which is why they will always be the best at any game that is popular in Korea. When your entire life experience becomes nearly exclusively serious practice of a game, and you're really young with incredible reflexes, you get really loving good at it.
