it was Nuke and Mithy that got banned. I don't think forgiven got punished for anything but yeah he was the one who raged out like a motherfucker on his own team. the guy seems like a giant donglord but he's a really sick player so I'm looking forward to seeing what SK are like with him.

alliance (elements lol), roccat and SK are gonna be monsters imo
He used to get talked about on Summoning Insight a bit and was on there once himself. The dudes a huge rager cause all he wants is to get better and win and if his team doesn't work on that same level he doesn't see the point, or something?

Like he used to rage out on CW because basically they didn't have the drive to be the best in EU or something.

Agree on the EU teams looking good this split, Elements is a loving poo poo name too.

yeah, I changed my mind a bit about him after I saw the interview with him and Thorin, 'cause iirc that game was against Gambit and CW to decide who would get demoted and at the end of this huge deciding match Amazing just jumped into their entire team for no reason and died. their whole team was incredibly bad and I think he just snapped because he seems like one of those dudes who would kill himself practicing while the rest of the team weren't too bothered. doesn't completely excuse his being a bellend but I can understand a bit better. wonder what he'll be like on a decent team anyway.
Probably the same. If nRated or Svenskeren go full retard he'll probably go on a killing spree.

Their new line up goes look awesome though and despite two of the players being shitheads (forg1ven and svenskeren) they'll be entertaining to watch.

Are Giants the random Spanish team? if so I vote them.

EU LCS was always worth a watch because of Joe & Deman, don't have quite as much motivation to keep up on it now that Quickshot is the primary pbp guy. That kind of sucks.

So I'm rewatching this Elements v. Fnatic game and I just noticed that when they showed Irelia in the bottom for her stats it had a different splash art. I'm guessing we'll be getting said splash art in the next two patches, then. That's cool.

I am sad that Gambit did not come back to be glorious. :saddowns:
Which YT channel uploads games, the net connection here sucks but i can watch youtube, not twitch.

E: What patch are they playing on? the current one or previous one? Looking over the post game scores and am curious whether that's post or pre-nerf Syndra POE is playing on.

I'm watching that one now, only a few minutes in but Nukeduck looks bad. 15cs behind at 0430. How come SK lane swapped Lucian vs Trist, because of the Lulu pick?

Were the other two games that bad?

As much as I like Flyy and Roccat, I can't help but feel disappointed when I see them play.

Cass is a good champ at the moment, to be honest I'd rather not have the western scene be "what the Koreans played most recently" and EU isn't quite as bad as NA is for that.

You know I'm not too sure how this looks. Either Alliance are so bad that despite being one of the top EU teams are losing to a newcomer team, or UOL are so good that they're beating one of the top EU teams.

Bingo. For the record I think UOL are a good team, but it's a case of how new they are vs how established Alliance/EL is meant to be.

Hypocrisy posted:

I am kind of astounded at how completely safe WildTurtle is in every team fight.
To be fair it's Jinx who can toggle to rockets to stay back if she needs to and TSM does have a Rek'Sai and an Irelia barreling into every teamfight with Bjerg's Ahri demanding attention. It doesn't help that Hai is making GBS threads the bed this game hardcore as well.

Lightning Knight posted:

Or maybe Gnar isn't as useful as the LCS teams think he is. Everything about his kit is so situational and it's too easy for these guys to play around it.
no it's that Balls is terrible at Gnar. There are plenty of games to showcase how good Gnar is competitively.

Remember when Thooorin said Doublelift was one of the best AD Carries in the world like a month ago? He isn't even the best AD Carry in the NA Challenger scene.
He's still 60CS ahead of Keith which is pretty good considering. Like he's a good AD carry but anyone who thinks Doublelift is near the top of the best AD carries in the world needs their head checked.

Now that coaches part of the p&b phase rather than just being a C9 strength because they researched it, what else do they have going for them at that point? Just Hai's shot calling?

This doesn't explain why TSM is still bad and lost to Team 8 though, other than maybe Santorin is really bad. :v:
TSM struggles to deal with sudden situation changes (totally ripped this from a thoorin vid) is what I'll go with. I dunno TSM are one of those teams that play like utter retards when it calls for it but tends to bring it around when it counts.

Lol, it looks pretty bad.

Transient People posted:

Sneaky being a god, mostly. I...gotta be honest, C9 never really impressed me at the playmaking level besides him. People always say Balls is good, but every time I look at him he performs like crap. Something about C9 feels ready to get exposed, and though I don't wanna see them lose I can't shake off the feeling that they're gonna tumble hard this split.
The only things I've ever heard of C9 is "Lemons Notebook, Sneaky is underrated and they're the team that's been together the longest in NA". The first is basically now done for every team, the second one is basically a meme at this point and the third isn't even remotely relevant. I don't actually follow the team well enough to make a call but I think they'll lose their edge this split against other teams. That's just my not very well informed opinion on C9 though, I find them void of any charisma and thus don't give a poo poo about them. :shrug:
