They had no problem delaying the EU quarter finals, so they might as well fix the bug and play with the champ enabled in a few days :(

I wonder how many hours clg burned on practicing AS based teams and they don't even get a free ban out of it

Seriously, thats so loving dumb, I don't even know where to start

I mean whatcha gonna do, it was a pretty major bug that would obviously affect gameplay, sucks that riot's mistake would handicap a random team but I dunno how you'd handle this kind of thing fairly either.

Yeah, its not like Riot delayed a major tournament match a few days to fix some crippling hardware issues.

Another thing working against clg here is that all of their players are worse than TSMs players and they arent as good strategically and their pick ban is worse. So when you combine that with the remake, it's looking tough for them.

Pretty big words after your team cheated its way to victory. Guess getting bodied twice in the finals weighted pretty heavily on Regis mind

This is almost as good as that one time they disabled Gragas mid-series so only one viable jungler was left.

Actually, its better since now only one viable mid-laner is left

I feel like all of these losses are on Meteos, he refuses to learn meta junglers and makes these selfish bad picks in pick ban. The fact is that he's a tilter, and C9 has always played better with Rush, a clutch player who knows how to keep cool under pressure.

So you take out Jensen? Because lol if you think they'd done better without Impact

Is there even any midlane talent in NA? We got Bjergsen/Jensen/Froggen who are all european and then Pobelter who for all his talent really isn't known to show up in big series' and then that gaping void.

I love when guys show up during NA games and are like... relegate BOTH these teams!!!!!! when a conclusive fight is happening at 40 minutes.... meanwhile we're deciding the 3rd best team in EU via full global comps attempting a series of honor duels at 93 minutes.

Actually I think I did this during every series, ever. And I think, so far, I've been right every time

As bad as EU is, at least the three best EU teams are going to worlds.

I'm pretty sure CLG is like the fifth best NA team right now.

CLG went 2-3 against IMT with one of their best picks disabled. Don't see why they are any worse than them

Also who's the 4th best supposed to be? nV?

rabidsquids keys to the game, winning with a taliyah comp edition

1. you've got to have some winning side lanes, not only are you going to be denying vision easier for your jungler by having mid shoved out and the ability to roam, but the threat of being able to two man gank top or bot any time that taliyah is out of mid changes the entire tempo of the game and changes where the enemy team can safely be or even safely ward and roam

2. you gotta have some kind of CC that you can chain. jhin ult is fantastic, trundle pillar is incredibly strong, the kennen-taliyah-skarner trio was actually really clever. you gotta get them picks because these taliyah comps mostly dont scale, this is where EU and NA seem to be failing they see her as some sort of ziggs style wave clear in scaling comps and no. just dont do that. why would you even. your mid laner doesn't even need to be good at hitting the W if the person they're aiming it at got Ashe arrowed

3. you aren't a split push comp, taliyah ult isnt really a global in the same way that she can match a truly global champ and or a champ that typically runs teleport. you've got to have jungle control and deny resources, make the enemy team make poor decisions and push your advantages. if you are a team that can't get poo poo off of kills or trading objectives you can't do the thing, sorry. learn to be more decisive i guess.

Watched your links, thanks!

Sounds like Taliyah does similar things as CLG tries to do with Aurelion Sol? Maybe thats why Taliyah gets banned away from Huhi, even though he's pretty bad with her, if it fits CLGs overall gameplan pretty well?

Its the most even field since season 2 I think. People with more CN knowledge than me proclaim the LPL the best thing ever, TSM is very clearly the best western team ever, Korea is Korea.

On the other hand, the exact same things were said last year and look how that turned out :shrug:

edit: "china ruined _____" is the weirdest straw man in league and i find it utterly bizarre. i started watching it bc heart and imp were both my favorite players and they moved over there, and i ended up enjoying it which is great, but people are so invested in a weird narrative about how the league "ruined" players who "got lazy because they got paid" (man thats a fuckin hoary old classic real sports chestnut right there) when its just meta changes primarily. i bet you flame would actually be pretty good this season but he's in LZIM prison



At first I wasn't sure, but yes, it fits perfectly
