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.

I know Krepo is one.

krepo is only on the desk for week 1, they are supposed to rotate people in and out. Although since he lives there I can't imagine Krepo not being the guy who is there the most often. Plus hes cool. I've never heard Piratechnics or whatever, I hope he is good.

I like Deficio even with some of the weird speech patterns he gets into as a result of not being a native english speaker.

Edit: Yea as much as I like making fun of Wickd he was making GBS threads on Huni as Irelia. He would trade 75% of Huni's health for almost none of his own with only a phage while having a 30 cs lead in lane. Shook did nothing on the map pretty much. Their one good early game play was getting the first dragon.

Forgiven is really loving good. I always thought he was a great solo queue player who was always mediocre in competitive. I don't know if that's the case now. Maybe it was his team that was total poo poo back when he played previously.

This new SK team is so much better than the one from last year. Two huge upgrades at Mid and ADC and they are like just way more dominant.

thought he always very good when he was actually on a team. His only problem was being a toxic rager shithead. Having him and fox instead of jesiz & candypanda is a huge upgrade I agree. It makes SK probably 2nd best or best team in EU. If they could move Nrated to coach and get a more skilled support they'd be very very good.

I'm really surprised that he and Dexter are both FAs right now. Those guys are easily better than half the junglers in competitive.

Amazing is on Origen. I bet he could have easily got on an LCS team but Origen is almost guaranteed to get into LCS next split by winning Challenger. They are by far the strongest team. The scrims / ranked 5s that have been posted of them is just them making GBS threads on every other challenger team and some lcs teams.

Dexter aggressively flashing over a wall and snowballing someone with full health as Nunu is probably my favorite league play of all time. I think Dexter ended up dying, or the other person just walked away.

Wasnt it the bloodthirster change that pushed Caitlyn out of competitive play? She was widely picked in S3 and early S4. I think not being able to get that big damage boost in your autos made her less cool, and hyperer carries started coming into vogue and of course Corki had to come back for Worlds.

Not to mention Lucian being released and getting buffed until he became the most dominant ADC in the game.

Sion looks really bad in competitive no matter who is playing him. He's just like a big lumbering dumb champion who misses most of his poo poo and then runs into a wall.

I know I've seen like one or two good Korean Sion games, but lots of bad ones there as well. I want to see RoA Sion again.

I dont think Sion is some OP must pick in top, but he is certainly viable and brings some cool things to the table. Duke had back to back really good Sion games in preseason IIRC.

Duke may have been the only one who played a good Sion so far, and Ssumday this week.

Yeah I also don't think he's a power pick in a lot of these guys hands. He relies on having a perfect team engage, perfect vision control, so many things have to go right for him to have one of those Rengar games. He's deceptively powerful on the top end but rarely gets to it.

Maple's positioning has been real good in some of these fights. That LeBlanc dive defense was flawless. It would be hilarious if OddOne was a sleeper agent and gave Maple all the TSM strats.

Amazing left TSM, it wasn't like TSM kicked him out. Amazing being home sick and wanting to go back to EU put TSM in a bad spot this offseason since it was going to be hard for them to do anything at jungler.

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.

I dont know what to say if you dont think Meteos would be an upgrade to Santorin. Meteos can play like every jungle in every meta + some weird off meta picks. The only junglers I'd want over Meteos are Korean.

The biggest mystery on C9 for me is Balls, because he was the best top in NA for so long, able to play every champ including the ones Dyrus couldn't like Nidalee. I don't think C9's starve top strategy helped him out much in the 2nd half of least season through worlds, but he shouldn't look as bad as he did this weekend. Hai is a lost cause IMO, you just have to believe in the shot call magic and hope he gets Zed so he can just dive the enemy ADC every teamfight. Once Balls gets back in order, and I don't think he was ever one to have motivation issues, C9 should start winning because Hai can play around a strong 4 man squad.

Michael Jordan would not say anything but show up every game and destroy Apollo.
