When the league is filled up you can start a draft. This requires everyone to be online at a certain time. The draft will put people in a list from 1 to 8, and go down the list and every person gets to pick a player/team. When it reaches the end it goes from 8 to 1 and so on until everyone has a complete team.

The hardest part is always getting 8 people online at the same time to do the actual draft.

I think Santorin is probably a decent prospect, and might develop into a top class jungler, but I think its more likely TSM goes full Yankees and dumps him for a big talent around summer split. Maybe Meteos when C9 disbands.

It's definitely something both Riot and IEM have been more wary of showing ever since Diamond had that outburst in Season 2.

Why doesn't he just say stun instead?

I'm pretty sure that something in the actual code of the game for the item is called "spooky ghosts" and that's where it came from?

That line was even in our very own SA thread believe it or not!

Although it does kind of blow my mind that Riot have stated they've struggled to balance resourceless champions and transforming champions in the past so they release two back to back with Gnar & Rek'Sai. That's counting tunneling as a transformation as it sort of is.

But watching players that actually know how to play Gnar, like in the LPL, they can get MegaGnar almost every 2 minutes and are probably in Mega for as long as they are in normal Gnar? So what's the downside? Players actually good with him have Mega for every single team fight, I'm failing to see the balance.

Riot didn't nerf Zed NEARLY hard enough. Seriously on a ten-point scale from 1 to Zed the second champion most miserable to play against in this game is at six at most.

I think they said that blitz passive stole it.

Ah hahaha. He says "up up up up" to be picked up! Just like a toddler!

Piglet was getting chunked by Sneaky because he wasn't running masteries. It's hard to say anything definitive about that game given that.

CODChimera posted:

I'm sure that if he had masteries then he would've played differently.

CODChimera posted:

Oh really? Where did you see that?

I would've assumed he'd notice early on when trying to CS.

I've been thinking about C9 since they've always been my favorite team even when they're struggling (gently caress ya'll nobody needs to get replaced, their team synergy is what makes them C9.) I think what's happened is that C9 has always relied on their much stronger TEAMPLAY which has really leveled up in NA over the last couple splits so their primary advantage is starting to erode out from under them. Hai keeps trying to play these flashy playmaker assassins when what he needs to do is be playing safe, waveclear utility mages. Hai is never going to style on Bjergson or even Pobelter and he needs to accept that and play something for his team.

Sneaky is the only one on C9 who's got All-star potential. He DOES have it, and C9 needs to plan around that instead of forcing SNEAKY to play the safe, waveclear marksman so that Hai can flounder on loving Leblanc. Put Sneaky on a bully and trust Lemon in the 2v2, stop laneswapping Sneaky, it makes him irrelevant for the first ten minutes and he's your best player.

Meteos has a massive body of good recent work. Bengi has basically been poo poo apart from one or two games for ages.

I was just about to come and post about this article. In fariness to him, he seems to acknowledge that he was an over the top dick:


And most reports now seem to indicate he's now more of a "I'm the best and I know it" kind of dude than a "gently caress you, you suck" kind of guy. Seems like he's gotten to a reasonable, if not necessarily perfect or ideal point, and with how phenomenal he and SK has looked (and how bad most of EU is otherwise) he probably deserves to be a little full of himself.

Edit: Especially since last year he was apparently the most toxic and most reported LCS player in the League, that's a pretty significant improvement.

Lightning Knight posted:

"I agree with players as role models" and "I don't believe I did anything wrong" aren't the same things, and most of his recent activity - for example, his opinion on Rekkles and Tabbz he posted online - has been by most accounts constructive and reasonable. Given that we haven't heard anything about him being toxic recently - and he got fined for being toxic above and beyond others and ignoring initial orders to stop, so we would've heard about it if he was back at it again - I'm inclined to believe that he's gotten at least nominally better. Better isn't the same as being good and he's probably still a jerk compared to other players who are more chill, but he doesn't seem to be near the level of "most reported/toxic in the entire LCS" which is improvement.

Edit: And he's still way ahead of Svenskaren, AKA the openly racist player who got in trouble and probably cost SK a chance to get out of groups last Worlds. I honestly think they should've benched him for that, cause that is absolutely unacceptable and shouldn't be allowed. Compared to that "is a big dick" is kind of whatever.
