its amazing that huni leaving fnatic has resulted in people still being mad to this day and insisting he's trash

It's amazing that you still push this narrative when I don't think there's been a single Fnatic fan regularly posting in this thread in like two years.

Nice Fnatic Accademy about to start playing with the best top lane / jungle combo in the entire world: Kikis and Amazing. I can't wait for these guys to carry some garbo NA LCS team to an undefeated season next split before Kikis joins SK Telecom.

Whatever this iteration of Origen is, it is horrible. That was some of the worst team coordination I've ever seen at the "pro" level.

idk if fnatic really has to pick a funny joke champ in EVERY slot

This has always been Fnatic's greatest strategic asset: picking really dumb things that make their opponents lose their minds and throw the game.

Huhi dominated game 1

Darshan dominated game 2 on loving Dr. Mundo

*** CLG stops banning Talon?!? ***
Hai wrecks Game 3 and 5 on Talon

Game 3 was a massive level 1 gently caress up by CLG that put them down resources across the entire center of the map and each of those matchups got hosed for it

Game 4 was ugly all around for CLG (especially Huhi)

Game 5 could have gone either way for a large majority of the match but CLG committed really hard to some extremely bad fights (especially Darshan) and got poo poo on by an Evelynn so it was about as stylish of a way as you could get reverse swept

CLG's highs and lows were Darshan and Huhi's play.

What are pros/cons to a situation where you would sub Turtle and Double? I've always kind of felt they had similar strengths (they often really get huge) and weaknesses (they often make really bad decisions in high pressure late game).

Chris de Sperg posted:

it honestly mostly depends on what you want the jungler to be doing. Double will direct every little thing that Sven does, Turtle will not which tends to mean Sven playing a far more passive game (like compare Sven now to Sven in summer, he plays a lot differently in terms of the constant crazy second-buff invades and such never happening anymore)

I don't know how TSM's shot calling works so I have no idea if this is a pro or con. I wouldn't want my bot lane micromanaging me as a jungler but I wouldn't want them to be dead quiet either.

Also someone PM'd me that there's a new thread cooking up so let me know when that happens and I can lock this one.

I tried to watch a few matches of League lately but it seems like everyone has become so bored of the game that Longzhu is now the best team just out of sheer attrition. Sad!
