Nice work. My only recommendation would be changing the forums tag to Event or Video instead of Let's Play. I'm not sure which is the standard for watching threads, but I'm pretty sure it's one of those two.

Easyhoon seems to be much better than Faker on siege type champions, which seems to be more what SKT needs in the lineups they are running. From their first 5 games it's very clear that they prioritize Xerath very highly (more highly than any other team it seems like, they've taken it in 60% of their matches) and Easyhoon appears to be much more comfortable on that champion than Faker. I think it's an extension on his old Ziggs mastery, he's just a really excellent player of long-range mages. Faker is much better on assassins and big play type champions because his rapid decision-making is just superior to almost any other player in the world. He had a great game on Leblanc so far this season and really unimpressive games on Xerath and Ahri. Additionally, when Faker is in the lineup, enemy teams seem to be camping mid to shut him down but Faker isn't getting the same level of jungle support he used to when he and Bengi were basically attached at the hip. When Easyhoon is in the lineup he gets a lot more reign from the enemy team and they usually pay for it. I think they are both excellent players who have completely different styles which compliments different things SKT is trying to run. It also makes sense that Easyhoon is more comfortable early in the season, because this team that is now SKT is basically SKT T1S with Bengi in the jungle and sometimes Faker. The rest of team K is all gone.

Sexpansion posted:One more spot open! Then we'll discuss drafting times. Since I haven't played a team yet, I joined your league as Eddy's 0-8 Bloodlust, which was my team name last year but the league I had never actually drafted, so I figured I'd re-use it.

exethan posted:was his 0-8 bloodlust on support kennen or amumu? The heated intensity of Genja and Edward hating each other during Gambit's major competitive lull before their roster changes. Time lord Genja was working on new builds to capitalize on mana maximization and farming 300 CS before engaging a single enemy champion. Edward was looking into playing non-conventional things like Amumu and Gragas just so he had more opportunities to fly into the enemy team and slap the poo poo out of them before dying as much as possible. Really it's pretty clear looking back on it that they were totally incompatible as teammates.

I'm good at just about any waking hour. I've tried like three times to get into LPL and I just can't. Even though the level of play has raised there and has lowered in Korea, I just don't care about the LPL teams at all. I wish Korea had just paid their players more. Also I much prefer listening to Monte/DOA than whoever the Aussie guys are doing the LPL English.

I work from home and I watch almost all the games on VOD on a second monitor while I'm working. I've watched NA/EU/Korea almost in their entirety for the last two years. There's no way I could keep up with it if I didn't have literally the best working arrangement a person could have in life.

CJ Entus picked up Beats by Dre as an official sponsor: https://www.facebook.com/entus.progaming/posts/696657667098823 I wonder how the hell that came together. Pretty cool to see a big electronic brand that's not solely gaming related or Korean industrial in the esports realm.

Jonny Angel posted:The bad news is that none of the teams I was sincerely rooting for won except for UoL. Yeah that's me. Watching the Gambit game was even more heart-breaking than usual. Diamond had a negative fantasy score.  I was sick all morning but woke up this afternoon and watched the games on delay. Was a solid start to the season. I thought Fnatic would be competing for bottom of the table and now I think they might be competing for the top of the table. Holy poo poo were they impressive.

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.

Hate to be a Monte parroting echo chamber but blind pick Xerath getting hard countered by a dive champion is almost like clockwork at this point. Every team is smart enough to punish it.

Sexpansion posted:Freeze and Unlimited are pretty much the only thing I like about CW right now. Youngbuck should only play Heimerdinger and Vladimir and then they would be doing much better. I thought Airwaks was awful last year so I'm not sure why they brought him back. Soren wasn't too hot either. They actually upgraded their ADC because Roccat "poached" Woolite who was terrible.

Xerath definitely had about 3 windows of time he could have empowered recalled there, but he probably forgot about that ability.

Also I'm no coach, but I would definitely ban Jax against Giants in the future. Considering Werlyb will seemingly play it into anything and relentlessly win with it.

Jax is a counter to Gnar? Jax seems like a terrible matchup into both Renekton and Gnar, and he completely power-bombed both of them. I'm not sure though. I haven't seen a lot of Jax since Gnar came out. This game might have been the first time I've seen the two matched up in competitive.

That all makes sense. I just figured that the ubiquity of first-pick Gnar and his kit versatility made him virtually uncounterable and also figured that Jax has a hard time getting that first foothold against almost all the meta picks, but those justifications seem to be clear advantages in many ways and Werlyb especially seems to have no problem playing it into Gnar.Aumanor posted:Another Xerath blind pick... Don't do this to me, Roccat. With the Fizz response. Hopefully Xerath has his dancing shoes.

Gnar nerfs haven't really impacted his pro popularity at all. If anything he's more popular than he was at his peak because he's not banned permanently.

TSM stands in a warded bush. Hai and Lemon throw out two completely missed ults. Balls jumps in then turns into mini Gnar. Bjergsen fires a whole missed spell rotation and BOTH TEAMS RETREAT. What a battle.
