Hmm Azir is open and our mid laner is known to be a god with him

JK GOTTA FIRST PICK MAOKAI LOL

I'm shocked they didn't take Azir...shocked. They just got stuffed twice against it.

...Seriously why the hell did they not take it?! And Quas' Maokai oh god.. D;

 

[Shining Sunshine]

I have a feeling that TSM has a strategy against Azir. That's why TL aren't picking it.

But they sure as hell need to ban it.

 

[Elixist]

props to dyrus gnar play. prob his best champ right now

 

[WesternHeretic]

So.. TSM 6-0 on Azir. Liquid 5-0 on Azir.

Nerf pls rito?

 

[Elixist]

So.. TSM 6-0 on Azir. Liquid 5-0 on Azir.

Nerf pls rito?

his ult needs nerfed if it was strictly a pushback with no wall he;d still be strong.

That's just midlaner being strong.

OMG AZIR NOT BANNED! OMG DYRUS WENT MAOKAI!

 

[Bacon]

What did I just watch? Why didn't TSM lock in Azir? Why are they prioritizing Maokai?

 

[WesternHeretic]

That's just midlaner being strong.

OMG AZIR NOT BANNED! OMG DYRUS WENT MAOKAI!

I don't know man... I play Zed. So many times Have I shit on Azir 4-0 in lane and check end game screen he still out damages me... while being 0-4 and climbing back mid game.

God I hate that fucking champion.

 

[AcridMeat]

That play where the flashed still got knocked back was soooooooooo duuuuuuuumb.

Finally they take it.

Well Zed is shit so there's your problem

 

[Terbinator]

SKT Vayne incoming.

 

[Elixist]

well liquids comp looks decent at least, cmon liquid!

 

[Bacon]

I'd like liquid to at least make it a decent series here. I've got nowhere to be

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Iwillnotdominate saying they should adopt Korea/Chinese strats. Exactly what I was thinking.

Have 5 Koreans on the team 8)

 

[Terbinator]

SKT Vayne incoming.

Boom.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

lol that luck

 

[Elixist]

that dom play

 

[zkylon]

lol that luck

i think it wasn't luck cos he w'd before bellying over?

so cool

 

[Bacon]

Yeah like the casters said it was pretty much process of elimination. I would have never been able to do it but I'm guessing dom/most pros would be able to know where he most likely would be.

 

[brian!]

i think he was trying to belly slam the wall in frustration but messed up

 

[zkylon]

[AcridMeat]

[Elixist]

[HORRORSHØW]

lmao

 

[killatopak]

why

 

[Elixist]

wat is tsm doing lol

wtf was that hook? remake

 

[Terbinator]

The Quas hook

 

[23qwerty]

well thats a vayne ban next game

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I bet

it will go down to the line, it'll be 2-2, and TSM will win. Because it's riiiiggged.

Spoiler

jk. Unless TSm does win after a 2-2 blowout, in which case it's riiiggged

 

[killatopak]

oh boi

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Strat for losing the game

Don't pick Azir 8D

 

[clemenx]

I wouldn't mind Piglet doing that 2 more times.

 

[WesternHeretic]

Hey guise... guise. Azir won again.


True story man.

 

[Bacon]

"We've been having success with azir and carry top laners lets pick maokai and not pick azir"

 

[Shining Sunshine]

TL now have to final ban Azir or TSM will pick it

Spoiler

inb4 TSM first picks Maokai

 

[Elixist]

quas naut was actually ok, id pick that again. leaving azir up was baffling, not first pick for either team was equally baffling.

 

[Terbinator]

That "el oh el" comment from TSM when they caught Piglet after that Spaghetti dragon fight.

Lol indeed.

 

[WesternHeretic]

He hit some clutch ass Q.

 

[zkylon]

im guessing liquid will ban azir and kaly now

haven't been paying attention to what else was banned, i saw lots of sivirs, alistars, elises going through, so i'm guessing shen's contested? or tf?

 

[Elixist]

hmmm, kinda favoring tsm draft, why twitch over vayne guess we'll see. dyrus gnar and turtle jinx are really good.

 

[clemenx]

Oof Twitch is too risky,

 

[Stone Ocean]

Uhhh aren't Gragas and Twitch meant for opposite comps

I'm not too sure on this one

 

[Terbinator]

Similar champ to Vayne with the true damage poison and stealth to farm and ambush.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

This is the first time Twitch has been picked in LCS.

Wow. Riot seriously needs to fix their fucking balance and balance around the pros.If there's more variety in the pro pool of champions, the more viable each champion is, and it'll leak downwards. Fuck scrubs who can't deal with a champion because muh stealth or whatever.

He's actually been picked frequently in the Korean scene IIRC

Most people would argue they *are* balanced around the pro scene...

 

[NSESN]

Imp twitch is really scary, let's see if piglet can have similar performance

 

[Stone Ocean]

Yeah but alongside Gragas?

Yah! Seriously!

Teemo has been ignored too long!
He needs to be viable for pro play!

It really isn't, and you can see it isn't because the same champions keep getting picked over and over and over again.

Yeah but alongside Gragas?

Not sure, but they can work together if Gragas saves his ult for disengage/causing disarray in enemy grouping. Then twitch can pick off targets easier if he can land barrels.

Yah! Seriously!

Seeing Gnar be picked/banned the majority of time sure is fun :^)

 

[zkylon]

twitch was really popular last season, rito buffed him a bit after nerfing him but could maybe need to do a little bit more for him

i think he prolly has meta issues more than anything cos he's sort of a snowbally assassin, not sure
