dam Fnatic and their good strategy in pick and bans
And unicorns with their bad strategy in pick and bans. Can't even believe they picked Lucian again. Their were plenty of other good adc picks up right? Jinx? Trist? Ashe? Corki?

Man, Fnatic looks so scary.

The Lucian pick was like the least of their problems
Not to take away from their effort but yeahhh
It's more like Fnatic is the only team worth their salary in EU

Now Fnatic only has to beat the ghosts of their past to have a perfect split.

Just gotta sandbag for 15 minutes then win by default
There's no team worth their salary in NA, then.

Despite the joke, that's... not a terrible idea, if you bump it up to 30 minutes. Origen's biggest weaknesses compared to Fnatic are intermittent trouble closing games and a tendency to throw mid/late. (The two obviously being related.) Conversely, Fnatic's perfect season is mostly due to them having their head on straight and not throwing games.

Go back to EU with that trash Amazing.
Go back to EU with that trash Amazing.
This is hilarious. Pretty spot on too haha.
Amazing was incredible yesterday though. He's so much better than TSM Amazing was.

So Mercenary Tao can easily beat Goku? 8)

Amazing wasn't that bad for NA standards, he just had a 3 champion pool in a meta where there were only 3 junglers worth anything so he was easily banned out of the game

TSM is controlling the pace of the game, what you want them to do when Liquid keeps doing shit like just letting Turtle back off instead of 3 man destroying him top lane?
LIQUID THINKS ABOUT DOING A THING BUT DOESN'T! Top notch casting
I mean it was a pretty awesome play

Their job is to hype up the game and TSM is the only team forcing plays
I know what their job is. Its just from my point of view they seem more bias towards TSM in almost every game I watch of theirs.
i think it's more that tsm are the "interesting" team here
tsm is on the rise after a slump and they're being aggressive in the game
liquid isn't doing anything, there's very little to say about them as a team right now

Azir is real balanced.
full build mage oneshots squishies clumped up in a pixel with his full combo
cmon doo
Stone Ocean

He made Quas completely irrelevant lol
He's pretty balanced but when he's 50 minutes into a game with 6 items of course he's going to decimate you.

For Azir to do that, he has to set up sand soldiers while being untouched.
It's really hard to do, but TL just forgot about it in that clutch moment.
The rest of LGD are way stronger in individual skill. They did a good job protecting imp while TL couldn't do that for Piglet.

that was an insta triple. Not even the old Fizz/Zed/Ahri assassin trinity did that.

Meh, if the casters wanted to fluff TSM, it's not hard.
Dyrus has more Best of Five experience than multiple entire LCS teams, put together. TSM performs historically better in the postseason than any other NA team. They came into this with four out of five tracks in their Choose Your Own Adventure leading to them going to Worlds. The realistic version of this tournament was, "Well, let's see which of the three seads TSM locks in for their trip to Worlds."
The casters, if anything, have done a good job convincing you there's some actual drama going on today.

it was such a boring game too
the clg vs tip games were like super sloppy but at the same time super entertaining to watch, kills everywhere and big teamfights all the time
this was just two scared teams waiting for the other to throw
you're choosing assassins which are really good at killing one person but don't have the crazy aoe and scaling these mages do

orianna with 6 items can do that, ap kog can do that, ap ezreal (no runeglaive) can do that, even anivia with a double q and a bit of ult time can do that and with less counterplay. pick anyone, ziggs, lux, xerath, annie, velkoz when you're a squishy dood and get hit by a 6 item mage with decent scaling you're gonna get blooped
