Being able to sub during BO3 has made OGN quite a bit more interesting to me, although we haven't seen any teams with rosters who can really take advantage of it so far or need to. Other than the weird SKT pocket pick where they get way too confident and then bench the mid for no reason. That has been very next level.

TSM would probably beat C9 if it weren't for the Illuminati but esports is hosed up.

Has Bjerg been playing Nidalee? During last season TSM basically had two bans because Dyrus couldn't play her. That seems like a weird ban by C9 to me.

Dyrus had a really good game when you consider how rough a start he had to the game.

During I think IEM Cologne Gamsu played the best competitive Gnar game I think I've seen so far, so I am still curious about watching new Dig because he might actually be pretty good. CoreJJ doesn't seem like he's going to be anything special though.

This game is way more boring than it seemed like it would be at champ select. Teamfight comps? Farm or w/e.

There's really nothing redeeming about this Dig squad. In the past there was at least Scarra and qtpie to root for, but now its just a really whatever bottom of the league team.

I am pretty hyped up for Winterfox here. They ended last split on a massive winning streak and I think Altec is really overlooked as a top ADC.

GreyPowerVan posted:Flaresz is a sub right? Who is winterfox main top laner? Also, who is going to pick up Flaresz? He has a nice name and he looked better than some other tops right now. Their top is Helios "brother," I guess the duo queued constantly. It's so weird to me how Lissandra has been no pick or ban so far today. Also that Xerath was picked into a Leblanc.

Undefeated Gnarvan for IM, but Jin Air has a pretty decent comp and Ganked by Mom got Kassadin. I think Jin Air ends the Gnarvan streak. edit: lmao, this prediction rabidsquid fucked around with this message at 10:49 on Jan 28, 2015 |

I hate lane swapping because I also hate the jungle buddy system, but I can't imagine what could stop it. Now that some teams don't value the dragon at all there's even less concern about having their bot lane in top too, so :I

Gamsu seems fine but this Dig team is just not good. There's no synergy, Crumbzz is possibly the worst jungler in NA, Kiwi and CoreJJ both seem subpar, and Shiphtur is passive to the point of being a huge detriment in almost every game.

Like what is Dig going to do to win games? They don't have a carry, they don't have any synergy, they don't have deep champion pools or weird pocket picks, they don't make good map movements. So I guess you just hope the other team throws? Dig got a significantly better pick ban here and got annihilated.

I think Sheep and Mash are probably the worst support and ADC. Slooshi is probably the worst mid?

It's kind of nuts because Crumbzz was probably the #2 jungler in NA for the first half of last split and now he's quitting and possibly was the worst jungler in all of LCS.

Is Reignover the best Korean import? His English is really good and his play has been fantastic. He's also one of the only worthwhile Rengar players in the West (the only one? Does Impaler count?)

I miss when UoL bust out pocket picks. This is a generic LCS lineup that could be played by basically any team. Blah. edit: Didn't Freeze pick Draven before and he was totally ineffectual? Someone did, I feel like it was him.

Libertine posted:Freeze is very famous for his Draven play (and recently Kalista). He prefers those to almost anything else so he is unique in that (like old pro players) he has a strong preferred signature champions; but he rarely focuses on meta picks and it makes his team much easier to predict in drafts. It sucks for the team but it's nice to see off meta stuff so I think it's kind of cool. At least his signature champ isn't Corki.
