That Rek'sai void rush scream is horrifying.

Also Samsung still aren't looking great this game, have to see how they deal with dragon fights once they start up.

KT are fighting tooth and nail, enjoying the hell out of this game.

So what's the deal with the Jarvan e-q-flash combo, since apparently Bengi tried and failed it? Does it work like Vi's q-flash?

When you E > Q if you flash just before you reach the flag it will extend it. However this only knocks up the target and does no damage.

LCK Week 3: KT vs CJ.

Game 1, both Gnar and Rek'sai went unbanned. Let's see if someone can unleash the full power of patch 4.21 Rek'sai.

Man, CJ really seems to have dropped the ball on the pick/ban phase this game.

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of their lineup. Really gotta control vision and get some amazing flanks.

This has to be the first game I've ever seen where a team immaculately holds dragon control and first mid tower for thirty minutes and still doesn't deserve to win. Relegate both teams, jesus christ.

I honestly do not know what CJ was thinking with their pick/ban phase. I thought having coaches in the booths was to prevent stupid poo poo like that!

Game 2 was absolutely brutal. Impressive stomp.

Gotta say, I wasn't convinced on Cj's comp, Tristana really didn't look like she fit there what with three midgame champs, but holy poo poo she hit full hypercary mode before the enemy team came out of their early.

I really expected a Sivir pick but CJ played off that first blood so well.

Veigar and Cassiopeia on OGN

Turns out the stats were right because Cass is insanely strong in this game.

Hooray, CJ are back to their winning ways and Space actually got a win on Kalista!

Kind of feel sorry for Samsung because they had a fantastic early game.

This GE Tigers/KT Rolster game is pretty amusing so far.

GE Tigers are just ridiculous. If they have any strats beyond what they've shown they may just be unstoppable.

Is Relic Shield item line on Annie something pros do?

Never seen shield on her, usually they either go Frost Queen for AP/damage/disengage or Talisman (with mobis) so they engage super hard by running in and landing a Tibbers stun.

Diamond is the only player I've seen make use of the Red/Skirmisher Jungle line. Seems to be his go-to choice on manaless junglers.

The 20% less damage from the target with the additional true damage makes him a formidable duelist. I've seen him take it on J4 as well.

because you need to be watching OGN, GE uniforms are next level

Do the cat ears mean that GE Tigers have essentially gone super saiyan? First blood would suggest yes.

Game 2 of Samsung v Jin AIR has a phenomenal Thresh play in the early game.

If anyone is watching SKT v KTR, this is Juggermaw comp with double AD is the most stupidly greedy thing I've seen. They totally deserve to lose this game.

Yeah I think it's safe to say smite is going to get hit. Ssumday's smite hecarim was really disgusting, I bet we're going to see more top laners running smite in playoffs here and elsewhere. It's so much lategame damage and pressure if played properly

Probably just end up removing challenging smite from the game at this rate. It was too beautiful for this world.

He always strikes me as something a shock jock, baiting out page views and such by being an rear end in a top hat or obnoxiously contrarian (or both!). I've never watched Summoning Insight with him and Monte (3 hour video? gently caress right off) but his rants have the occasional glimmer of actual insight on certain subjects, his CLG piece after they loving bombed in playoffs was pretty on point and actually short for once.

His interviews do manage to get some interesting pieces of information out of players and other esports professionals but the actual questions them self are painfully long and almost come off as a stream of consciousness as he almost dives off into tangents half way through.

I've had his piece about link running in the background while I do other things and he mostly seems concerned with pointing out inconsistencies in his accounts and questioning why Link didn't take on an actual leadership role if he felt that he knew exactly what to do etc. Pretty much all the stuff we've covered ourselves in the thread so far.
