If you guys are bored of the usual meta, you should watch this Chinese league where Sivir is the Queen ADC.

I've really been enjoying watching it the last few days, it feels very different to the usual NA meta, it seems to be very reliant on technical skill more than anything.

Sivir has seen a lot of play in Korea recently as well.

I just don't understand what the Lulu was supposed to be FOR. Usually if you do a double-shield comp like that (janna/lulu) you have a protect the X, but Rekkles was on Graves and Wickd was on Irelia so there's no one on the team who NEEDS that much shielding, they just needed more damage out of their midlane.

Target banning Febevin instead of just picking one of those mids for Froggen to carry with was weird.

I can't blame Wickd for this, he got camped and Shook built terribly and didn't countergank for him even when he was crushing Huni in lane.

Yeah Wickd did very well in lane and if Shook didn't afk after his one gank they could've completely shut down the toplane. But terrible play from Shook in both gank patterns and item build combined with a bad champ pick for Froggen lost them the game.

Game 1: Elements completely poo poo the bed, played awfully, got schooled by nu-Fnatic. Shook in particular was loving nonexistent.

Game 2: Boring-rear end EU Classix game that went like 50 minutes long, Youngbuck fed to win while Soren's Cassiopeia got enormous, Freeze's Draven sucked and got one kill in a 50 minute game. Ryu on H2K outscored Froggen in fantasy draft in spite of being complete rear end all game, somehow.

Game 3 was CW vs H2K. Game 2 was Giants stomping MYM in less than 30 minutes.

If MyM manage to win it'll be on the back of Horo and SK's lousy vision control.

Great P/B from C9. Leave Reksai open so you can get Gnar in first rotation for Balls, let him get a ton of free farm and still watch him play like garbage outside of lane.

great we're up for a coast game next!! can't wait to see jesiz sit in mid lane and farm some waves for a while and then just sort of exist on the map while stuff happens around him

At least he'll be up against Shiphtur who's an aggresive midlaner that forces action.

Whats wrong with cloud 9. Like from the very start when balls killed himself or when they repeatedly tried to out rotate and run away against a team they should have been able to just fight.

Balls misread the mobafire guide. He thought he had to suicide in lane after suiciding at the jungle camp.

Another thing is because the season is only 18 games for each team each loss counts for more and it likely wont take many more losses to make a top 2 finish difficult.
