Thrall isn't in a good spot with KT in the meta.
I feel like Thrall is getting picked for the Ult and basically nothing else. He needs a looksie by the Blizz design team.
i think it's more like thrall isn't in a good spot when rofl's on him.
that was pretty bad showing by him.

Big part but he also is a great laner that works in many comps, has self sustain, lockdown and even range if needed.
Glaurung has been shaky on him as well. KT shuts down melees hard with his E, you can just so rarely step up to him for some decent damage. And the common strategy of having thrall flank leaves him vulnerable.
i feel like thrall has always had rare opportunities to get in, but it's all about taking advantage of those opportunities. I didn't see the glaurung games, but rofl was just out of position in like everyfight. Looked like he was trying to pull a Jaina flank and just constantly getting caught. You can play Thrall from within your team and still land effective sunders.
I also didn't see the draft, so I'm not sure if thrall was drafted before or after tassadar, that makes a big difference.
edit:
JAKE! WTF ARE YOU TALKIN ABOUT!. Think about what you want to say before you say it please. words have meaning. for fucks sake. god damnit. /babyrage he's so annoying
edit2: I'm sorry, I know it's irrational to be so bothered by it, but when there's a dude on the mainstage saying shit like "There's six towers for you to collect" it makes me want to throw my monitor.

Well CoG tried, if they had gotten that boss. Maybe.
Almost certainly a group queued together.

Was much better on stream. They came back from a commercial with birthday music playing.

are you in the gaf twitch chat already?
Our team drafts Hammer, Azmodan, Sylvanas, Nova, and Lili (me)
Enemy team takes Illidan, Johanna, Morales, Li-Ming, and Falstad.
Map is Spider Queen
Game goes predictably terribly based on that comp... until we somehow manage a crazy full wipe on them while they're taking boss, and manage to just end it right there at level 17. HL is so weird.

Does C9 have anyone that plays illidan?
Still CoG's roster is great, get it together.

think it's at least the third time.
Funny that all casters and the observers missed KT going off on his own, catching sylvanas and 1v1ing her. I immediately looked at the minima when k1pro veered off.

nvt has been doing the same, game 1 for instance. As I see it NVT only has a chance capitalizing on mistakes while C9 is good at it.

wtf C9, that draft is ludicrous.

I was halfway through preparing a wall of shame,
, when C9 started drafting and playing like shit.
not really
