Jamada legit sounded like he couldn't even be bothered at some points in the second match, though I think he's off-site (?) so that should be the grain of salt, but goddamn, what a pair of games.

The games were so exciting that the most significant thing I've taken from this gameday is that Secret Labs decided to bring back the orgasmic moan for their ad that annoyed me a whole lot.

Didn't mean to poo poo on the casters too hard, I genuinely don't know what else I would have done with that last match on my hands.

Fans of incredibly loud crowds will probably enjoy LEC game 3 today being Mad Lions vs G2.

Not quite impressed so far :colbert:

2-2 would be quite the inauspicious start gamers 2, and frankly, even if they come back, the fact that they keep bungling the early game is an atrocious habit to have

They've been like this for a few years though, early game doesn't matter because we can hand check them in the midgame.

E: Yeah exactly like they're doing now.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Catching up on LCK and current favourite things are casters having no idea what Hwei's abilities are called because there's too many so becoming like fighting game commentary saying "Hwei with the EW into the WW QW" and that GenG in the off season recruited Canyon and Lehends so it's like this terrifying combination of Damwon and Griffin that are currently stomping everyone when they kept the core of Chovy, Kiin and Peyz.

people made a big ado about hwei being the new 200 years but he's honestly just an AoE vacuum mage ala orianna, as long as you avoid his big grab he's about the same as the rest of them

i am glad to see NS playing better this season but it's really starting to get depressing how categorically bad BRO is. even the meme stocks can't seem to save them this time around

Wasn't he considering swapping roles? Is he just taking this split off or did all the teams pass him over?

he's one of those champs where you really gotta know your limits and understand your openings or else you'll get smushed, and 14 years of playing helps that out a lot

perfect got his poo poo shoved in game 2 but really turned it on game 3. honestly kinda weird seeing kingen getting his slobber knocked that badly considering his pedigree, but the LCK newbloods are starting to show up way more in recent games

also eagerly praying for corki to get nerfed in 14.2, i cannot stand another season of this boring loving mid poo poo rearing its head again
