Playoffs should be really good this year with all the teams getting Best Of experience. I like TSM & IMT for 2 of the spots right now. CLG might not go to worlds after performing so good at MSI :regd09:

Its not "TSM IS BENEFITING" it is that they set a different precedent last time they made rules and are going a different path this time.

The residency thing is dumb. If you don't want players to get residency, then just put a straight cap on teams. Doubling it because some players are about to get it is extremely bad faith.

I think there is a clear difference between "Imports are a new thing, I guess we can grandfather in ~20 players total across every region" vs now where they'd have to grandfather half of korea & europe.

That game sucked

edit for actual content: How in the world did Origen go from "Worlds semifinalists" to "Europe's biggest circus troupe"

They had the best bottom lane duo in EU and that duo went to their rival. Their replacement ADC was highly skilled...at being toxic and quit to play Blizzard's Anime Waifu Simulator because it has in game VOIP so he can yell at clouds.

The replacement to the replacement ADC is xPeke, who has spent the past year sometimes subbing in at mid and mostly operating a european sex tourism attraction for pro gamers

Is damage per minute a stat people actually care about.

I dunno how its calculated (if its total damage or only damage to champions) but either way its a good barometer of both getting fed (doing more damage with more items) or activity in the game (damaging enemy champions constantly).

Its an alright stat!

AHHH KILL ASHE KILL ASHE DOUBLELIFT YOU DIE DIE PETER KILL VIKTOR AHHHHHH


I see bjerg is developing into a nice shoutcaller :smugdog:


Edit: This TSM squad is probably the most aggressive TSM team in their history, and only slightly less aggressive than old teams like LMQ or TIP. They seem to have the highest mix of mechanics, aggression, and macro play of any NA team. Like IMT is good at mechanics & macro play but they are slightly less aggressive since Pobelter is a pretty reactive mid. I think the top teams like G2, TSM, and IMT, and that one squad Seraph all play pretty aggressively overall.

So I just noticed in the post-game analyst desk section that TL's first round of drafting was Braum and Karma. What's the loving point of that, giving up the flex pick threat of the Karma immediately? Yuck.

just spit balling but braum is a good counter to karma so if they were deadset on the comp they decided to take karma and the counter support to reduce options. Having flex picks is a good strategy in pick/ban but its not the only way to do pick/ban. If EF prioritizes Karma & braum and you want both you need to pick both. They lost the game but I didnt watch so I dont know if it was purely pick ban or what.

Apparently all doublelift needed to mature into the top tier player he claimed to be was to have the best player in the west as his mid. A player so good dlift is forced to look up to him.

Its pretty crazy to see dlift being a shotcaller while schooling every opposing adc and flame horizoning them.

Riot is changing how towers and poo poo work to try and stop laneswapping from being the default. The changes look really stupid though??!?!?!?

Cannons now spawn one at a time, and rotate which lane they spawn in. Doesnt that gently caress with the gold each player can get??
