the answer will unfortunately be "no" since the budget rosters are still mostly coasting on old, cheap names that can be quickly assembled into a frankenstein's monster. i do think NRG has a decent shot internationally if they stay the course and improve on what they did last year, and C9 has a solid on paper roster that might be able to do something come MSI

We get this hopium every year. The truth is that LCK and LPL are so much better than LEC and LCS that the West will get obliterated like they did last year.

Love the post game interview where Mikyx says G2 is so much better at macro than any other team in LEC that they can screw around early game and it doesn't matter.

So LCS is dying and LEC is next. I guess I can see where all this is going.

I know there's a billion other things to ban against t1, but it's starting to feel like you just gotta ban the zeus aatrox.

Or you know, just don't pick k'sante into zeus aatrox

I think Zeus wins either side of the K'Sante <-> Aatrox matchup

LCK teams really need to stop picking Smolder, everyone's figured out that he can't do anything for the first 10-15 minutes and just hard camps him.

E: OK this might be the funniest thing I've seen in pro League in some time.

Smolder is a lesser sin compared to giving T1 Senna. Not banning Senna against Guma just just means they already know they're going to lose.

didn't it just lose this week? to smolder?

It did, in a game between the two LCK bottom feeders. My comment was specific to Guma, since he's very good at Senna, and it gives Keria a chance to play a carry himself at the same time.

Zeus gets 4v1 dove, immediately TPs back thinking surely they will not just dive me again

Especially when they never left lol


Seems like T1 gave ESP a lot more respect in that series than they deserved.

The good news is that this is double elimination, so after they get obliterated in the first round, they get to play each other.

T1 gave TL far too much respect the entire series, and now T1 fans will be on their asses the rest of the season.
