Ghetto SuperCzar posted:Even IMTs wins weren't one sided though. I agree C9 looked good against NA's Number One Team. The 2nd C9 vs IMT game in the spring split was also super close and probably my favorite game of the spring split because it was more kills than minutes. I'm just saying IMT dug themselves a hole with that team comp that would have lost against the bottom teams of the LCS. Huni is just waiting to surprise everyone with a tank in an important series and have it not work because of a meta change.

Is APX vs NRG game one worth watching the VOD later? Well I'll probably just watch the series later, because I want to see how NV vs TL goes. Need to watch the mercenary Seraph win games.

Work Friend Keven posted:But if I could be serious for a moment: TSM have their bye locked up and p1 are 10th in the standings, giving them a win can't possibly hurt TSM. This is a clear strategic move on TSMs part where they let their game fingers rest and played with like, ring and pinky exclusively. See ya in the playoffs, kids. Oh sorry - round two of the playoffs haha. whoa whoa whoa friend. P1 isn't 10th; that spot belongs to Echo Fox.

So probably going to be TSM/CLG on auto-qualify and points and hopefully C9 can go through gauntlet. Especially since IMT shows that they love dumb picks in the top lane.

Wasn't it DIG vs REN last split with the deaths to herald and bot tower? Look where both of those teams are now! May the same fate fall upon Immortals. Though seriously this series doesn't give me much faith in either team to do very well at worlds. IMT with their refusal to play meta toplaners, and C9 with their inability to close out the game. Edit: Yeah Week 7 REN vs DIG. BillyBoss and Kiwikid dying to bot turret followed by Hakuho and Crumbz losing to Rift Herald.

exethan posted:3-0-0 to 3-7-0 im inclined to agree While Pobelter didn't do all that great; I kinda wonder if IMT's draft tilted him. Earlier in the split in the Scarra interview he mentioned how IMT's drafting wasn't very good and that they weren't learning from their mistakes. This was obviously on display here with Huni deciding that non-meta top lane picks that require snowballing to work were a good idea. If you think you're good enough to make a snowball comp work you still shouldn't pick it and should do a normal draft because that would still beat your opponents without the risk. Also I really disliked Wildturtle's Jihn builds; CDR doesn't help you when your ult does next to no damage because you're hitting tanks.

Jerkface posted:You can see why IMT wins a lot in the regular season and why they get ranked by the media highly. They push the pace of the game even when they are losing, they are very good at side wave control so they can generally always trade an objective if you make a play. They are pretty good at skirmishing and team fighting. Here is how I'd like to see it go: 1st C9, 2nd CLG, 3rd TSM, and 4th IMT in playoffs. This would put TSM and IMT in the gauntlet. TL beats IMT and loses to TSM, so we end up with TL in 4th as required with C9, CLG, & TSM going to worlds.

RealFoxy posted:OGN's mocking of SpotTV has been one of my favorite things about the last season. The day they couldn't use their own cameras to see the players so they had extra OGN crew in the booths wearing cut-out faces of all the players to compensate was great. Riot has been so petty, which is a sin but even worse than that is they've been arrogant. I wouldn't be surprised to see more sponsors, more regions, and even OGN to jump in against Riot on this. Riot takes the not invented here philosophy to the extreme. Someone else is doing something better? Well gently caress you, since we didn't come up with it it is clearly worse and bad for the players and we can't possibly be wrong. Sound proof booths? Clearly they cause cancer. Increasing tournament pay outs? Makes Jesus weep. Anything that makes LCS teams money? The stipend is good enough and they all make millions anyways!

iSurrender posted:(If you cant support yourself on 25k/yr with free housing then I just dont know what to tell them. Yeah sleeping 5 to a room is super lovely, so negotiate a better contract or go find another job or go to college. There are literally hundreds of thousands of people whod want to be in their shoes, and if the current crop of players drop out for whatever reason there will always be the next best challenger/master player to replace them.) The bold takes the cake for the dumbest thing said in this thread; even though you already said "It's exactly like Brexit" in the same drat post. No; the situation is not "exactly like Brexit" because Brexit wasn't about leverage. As for the bold statement; you do realize why we have labor regulations right? It is because psychopaths like you can't make someone's life a living hell and then claim that they could always go somewhere else or do something else. It doesn't matter how many applicants there are for a position; using that to justify mistreatment or lack of pay is not the reasoning of what society considers a decent person. It is the reasoning of a petty authoritarian that accomplishes nothing in life that is worth mentioning and the world is better off without.

Winner advances to get destroyed by C9 and then on Monday we'll get an actual series of C9 vs IMT. Going to see if IMT can do their best TL impersonation and finish 4th with TSM, CLG, and C9 going to worlds. Also, them mentioning that Arcsecond is top of the ladder is so dumb. No poo poo he is at the top, it isn't like the top LCS players are super focused on the ladder. Maguoob fucked around with this message at 21:50 on Sep 3, 2016 |

dicks assassin posted:If I'm following this right, LCS loses money, and LCS teams lose money, but big, rich, presumably smart organization keep buying teams. At this point I'm just going to assume everything it being bookkept like Hollywood does its bookkeeping. The two deals with Dig & Apex and the one with TL aren't entirely LoL focused though. While obviously an LCS spot is being bought in both cases, I'm not so sure it should be looked at as buying into LCS. Rather is might be better to look at it as these groups buying into the e-sports scene with preexisting branding. They're looking at the Risk vs Reward and gambling that e-sports as a whole keeps having more and more money infused in to it. This isn't them saying that they're going to make money as a LCS team, but as an entire brand. In other words; these are definitely the bad guy owners that will use the huge about of money that they make in LCS and waste it on other games.

Ulio posted:So Travis just did an interview with Froggen basically saying that nobody is willing to scrim Echo Fox apparently due to Rick Fox not wanting franchising and not siding with the other lcs owners during their arguments vs Riot. I knew the top teams only scrimmed each other but this is really petty imo. Maybe don't transfer or trade with them but denying scrims is kinda of lovely even though they have the right to scrim who they want. I'm pretty sure Rick Fox isn't against franchising, but he was the only owner to not sign the letter the other owners sent to Riot. I know reddit has the huge thread about this and there are a ton of complaints about how it hurts NA as a region and how it is petty and childish. From the perspective of a team owner, why would they give two shits about "NA"? Besides, until last World's it wasn't like not being garbage got you much in the way of prize winnings. Being fair and honest in business doesn't get you very far and esports brands are definitely a business. It appears that the other team owners view Rick Fox's abstaining as damaging their business interests, so retaliation of some form is always going to happen. Honestly, I doubt NA will be doing well internationally in league for a long time, so I'll take all the drama and garbage play over no drama and still garbage play.
