Fnatic already took (a weaker) SKT to game 5. They'll do much better then any of the NA teams ever did.
I feel like it's because Tahm has very little to offer otherwise. Q can be blocked by anything, and is single target. If devour is used offensively, it can range from saving an enemy to preventing an ally from being saved. As a tank there's not even a reason to attack him unless he's somehow dealing damage or getting enough point blank stuns to be a problem...and even those stuns are limited to one every several seconds, right?They'll probably cut into the bonus health scaling and bump up the base values a bit, to make him less powerful as a top laner and more viable as a support.
I assume it mostly snuck through as-is because he's slightly underwhelming as a support, and people weren't testing him top lane extensively.
Representative statement. There's plenty of talk about how Fnatic is "the best team the west has ever seen" without having won a single international event. Pretty fair to say they're getting full-ride lip service at the moment, chief.
It's like when people were billing Cloud 9 as the Great White Hope because they showed up and stomped on the broken old husks of Reginald-era TSM, Scarra-era Dig, and Hotshot-era CLG. The only thing that can definitively said about Fnatic at the moment is that they're not as bad as the rest of the teams in Europe.
Today we have DIG Vs CLG, I guess? TIP is in shambles so GV Vs TIP should be a slaughterWhat are the meaningful games to watch this weekend?
Apparently whatever suspension XWX might get won't matter; seems TiP has already kicked him out of the team house, so I guess he's gone.
And judging from a few things said last night, apparently Rush did not like him at all.
I don't get why a famous pro would resort to boosting, just fucking stream
I think Adrian is back on support for TIP
Sure, not on a short term basisI believe he got paid up to $1400 just for one boost. If you grind an account for 2 or 3 days to get it to Master, that's some serious dough. I don't think streaming can top that kind of revenue, unless you're someone huge like Nightblue or QT.
Sure, not on a short term basis
And specially not on fucking Azubu
$1400 from a single boost is 18% of their salary for an entire split. You significantly overestimate what these players are getting. If it weren't for teams covering living expenses, they certainly couldn't afford to live in LA.

Dignitas is going to be such a free series for whoever gets them.
RIP GV. Gate is doing pretty good too.
So who is the highest paid LoL player? Faker?That's part of why the Korean players got pissed and started demanding huge salaries. They realized they were getting shafted pretty hard in terms of secondary benefits.

In NA it's probably Bjerg, but it doesn't come close to China / Korean guysSo who is the highest paid LoL player? Faker?
He turned down a contract worth a million or something, wasn't it?Faker is probably well compensated in the Korean league, but his Korean fellows in China are probably ballin'
Faker stayed in Korea because he has integrity for his country. Turned down huge salaries from Chinese teams.
That was a weird ass video...
? They're just playing to the strengths of their compWhat a garbage game by TSM so far

NA is so bad
I'm gonna guess TIP, CLG, and TL go to worlds from NA.
That is extremely unlikely, considering TSM has the Spring split 1st place and an extremely high chance of placing 4th or higher. Unfortunately, C9 was the 2nd place finisher in the last split (and thus the ones most able to challenge them on championship points), but we know how that turned out.
The reason this matters is because Impulse, for example, only has 30 CP to TSM's 90 (and CLG a measly 10), meaning these teams almost have to get 1st to qualify. You basically need for TSM to come in 5th place or lower for them not to qualify, and if they have a first round bye...
That said, all of those teams can potentially make it, just that specific combination is absurdly unlikely.
