I'm also up for high stakes fantasy league if there's room, or will run another league (high stakes or not) myself if the first one is full :p

Can subs be in different roles or do they have to lock them into specific ones? Might be a dumb question.

I remember a European player called WhiteKnight playing both mid and ADC in Season 3 Summer.

I am making a prize-league. Draft will be either Fri or Sat if we fill fast enough. I'm off both days so any time that works will be fine. Winner gets a mystery skin bought for them by all other people.

OMG are my boys, for being an elite team of only Chinese players, no Korean imports at all. They're like the C9 of China and I want them to win everything (Plus Gogoing's jaw is so drat manly), but EDG, LGD and iG look really goddamn scary. I also want Vici Gaming to do well, if only for Vasili, and I'm surprised they've done so poorly so far. The other teams I know very little about/care very little about.

Yeah, Fenix and Piglet at the very least were confirmed on Saint's stream to be missing week 1 of LCS, so if you have those guys in your fantasy team, you should probably sub them out for this week at least.

Good lord at POE then, that guy doesn't give two fucks.

E: 3/11 Wickd. UHHH

Honestly, Wickd didn't do awfully that game, aside from being overaggressive when he didn't know where Rengar was. The bigger problems were that A: Shook was invisible and built full armour against a double-AP team and B: Froggen and Rekkles would back out immediately as a fight started. Elements has bigger problems than Wickd, honestly.

Who's ready to see the Daniel Bryan of ESports to beat the John Cena of Esports?

Cloud9 vs TSM
Coast vs Dignitas
Winterfox (Evil Genius) vs Gravity (Curse Academy)
Team Impulse (LMQ) vs Team Liquid (Team Curse) [They're apparently playing with two subs]
CLG vs Team8

btw, HTC is sponsoring Team Liquid too, they seem to be an all-around sponsor.

I agree with all of these except Liquid vs Impulse. Impulse also has a sub, for Impact IIRC, and I believe in Liquid's non-Koreans. Winterfox vs Gravity could go either way too, due to Winterfox's subs.

Y'all are blowing this way out of proportion; exactly like the people who thought Summer Split was the end of C9. They'll pick up by playoffs, and while neither first or second place is guaranteed for them, they're still going to be top 3.

I didn't even think about that. Cross-team messages aren't permitted, are they?

I think they're allowed, but not usually shown. I remember them showing the Poro King showmatch allchat until someone said "lol stop being gay" or something, and I know at IEM Cologne (or was it Hamburg?) last year, during Fnatic vs. CLG, Deman read out an all-chat message from Xpeke joking about "Best AD down" when Doublelift got ganked and killed.

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

Yeah, Forg1ven is the rear end in a top hat part of Team Racist Assholes, except he's a really entertaining one because he can back up his talk. I'm pretty sure his current KDA is the highest anybody has ever attained at any pointin a competitive split, including Faker and the rest of Korea.

He's not the only rear end in a top hat - Fredy122's pretty notorious for being toxic in SoloQ as well. Meanwhile Nrated is like, almost at Alex Ich or Krepo levels of being a nice guy, so I guess he kind of balances it out a little?

Wicked sucks, but the rest of the team rates pretty highly among their positions, do they not? I thought Froggen was the shotcaller. Is it fair to dump on the team and suggest he'd be better elseware if all he can offer are some really good mid mechanics most of the time? If he is the shotcaller he may the one failing the team.

Everytime they show their audio segments, it sounds like their shotcalling is non-existent, just everybody shouting, and Froggen just naturally being the loudest.
