shoulda picked vayne, also why dint dom pick ecko that was stupid hes gragas isnt very impressive

 

[Terbinator]

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

Doesn't this prove that argument? You don't see any of the YoloQ shit being picked (see: the "left of field" Twitch) because it wouldn't work in the pro scene and why shit like Devourer is left to run riot in SoloQ.

If YoloQ is the sacrifice to be made

then so be it

people who suck at playing will continue to suck when they pick 'OP' champions.

people who are good will have a new breadth in variety of champions they can pick

 

[Shining Sunshine]

TL playing the slowest movement comp ever.

 

[NihonTiger90]

And so, TSM qualified for Worlds.

Just so they can let NA down again.

 

[Elixist]

well this game was sad, shoulda took gnar and ecko away at least.

 

[WesternHeretic]

And so, TSM qualified for Worlds.

Now they need to let CLG win so both of them can be at Worlds and we can have a CLG vs TSM WORLD FINALS.

Spoiler

In the dream world that is.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Definitely Gnar. Fuckers haven't learned that it's Dyrus' favorite champion now a days. (And just Gnar in general, overloaded piece of shit)

The other issue is that Gragas doesn't work with Braum. If Braum wants to lock down the enemy team in a group, then Gragas is the antithesis to that. Forget Twitch not working. Fucking Gragas lost them this.

Or, if a meteor hits the hotel that all the other teams are staying at, sparing CLG and TSM as the only two teams not vaporized in the explosion.

wp to tsm, but liquids team comp maker failed hard this series.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Please stop picking Gragas in chokepoint oriented comps thankssssssss

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Please stop picking Gragas in chokepoint oriented comps thankssssssss

A complete trash pick right there. Holy fuck.

 

[zkylon]

wp to tsm, but liquids team comp maker failed hard this series.

it's been a consistent issue for them

i think tsm and clg both look pretty iffy but i can't really call it, hope it's gonna be fun to watch

 

[Stone Ocean]

TSM vs CLG is always a good time as far as entertainment goes

 

[NSESN]

I don't think gragas was a problem this game, to me was IWD terrible control of bot jungle. Santorin just controlled that area and IWD made nothing in response.

 

[WesternHeretic]

It's gonna be a glorious shit show of fuck ups, and I can't WAIT!

That fb was dumb, going ham to get Lustboy only to give out double buffs to WT, that set him behind so bad, Santorin had free reign to do whatever and Dyrus could make Quas into his bitch with no repercussion, not to mention being Twitch against a red buff Jinx with a Thresh to back her up is not a good time.

lets not forget the top lane fail gank right after that

 

[NSESN]

CLG looks better to me, but i always expect them to choke, specially against TSM

Lol.

It isn't like Liquid would do ANY better.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Well, I guess the skin is a project.

Had to leave right after TSM wonned, so finally saw that bit at the end of the show.

 

[Elfstruck]

Yikes, CLG vs TSM for final. Who would have thought at the beginning of this split? If CLG lost, does that mean they have to win the gauntlet to make world? TL win over TiP will secure their bid?

 

[NihonTiger90]

Lol.

It isn't like Liquid would do ANY better.

Yeah, any NA team is going to go down at Worlds.

But at least CLG will go down in flames with Doublelift trash talking the entire time. So it'll be more enjoyable.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Oh man. Invictus almost had that reverse sweep.
Just like Azir was to the TL and TSM game, Nidalee was that for IG and QG.

Banned it in the end and the Azir won it lol.

Time to watch KOO Tigers vs NaJin, then LPL starts again. Too many games.

 

[Firestorm]

If Liquid beats Impulse, then CLG would need to go through the gauntlet. If Liquid loses, than CLG makes it to Worlds even with 2nd place.

 

[kenbo]

iG v EDG right now

Both teams probably better than #1 in NA

 

[Newt]

iG v EDG right now

Both teams probably better than #1 in NA

I mean, they're probably better than the #1 in Korea and EU too.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

edg v ig is fucking menstrual

 

[Shining Sunshine]

God-KAO

 

[Imperfected]

Are EDG competing for the New Jersey Regional Wild Card ticket? Because they're looking crazy Bronze lately.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

trundle the real troll

 

[Makareu]

EDG as third seed would add a nice touch to the groups draw for Worlds.

 

[clemenx]

Are EDG competing for the New Jersey Regional Wild Card ticket? Because they're looking crazy Bronze lately.

It's fucking weird. As if the rest of the teams were trolling edg by mailing the regular season.

China is fucking scary. Just 2 days ago ppl were talking about worlds as a 2 team contest vs SKT and EDG lol

 

[kenbo]

I mean, they're probably better than the #1 in Korea and EU too.

Thems fighting words

 

[clemenx]

Holy fucking equalizer batman.

OMG IT'S NOT OVER.

 

[clemenx]

Rookie is a fucking god with Ekko holy shiiiiet.

I wish we'd seen more AP Ekko than tank jungle.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Ekko God is born

KT Arrows is Deft's nightmare

 

[theprodigy]

to be fair, the 3rd place match means literally nothing in terms of worlds qualification

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Hmmm if Qiao Gu wins, it'll be iG vs EDG and Snake vs QG in the regional finals.
If LGD wins (they already qualified), iG will face QG and Snake will face EDG.

Now it's a double elimination tournament, but you just need to get to the finals to qualify.

 

[NSESN]

So the teams classified to worlds are:
LGD:1st seed CN
SKT:1st or 2nd seed KO
AHQ:1st seed TW
YFW:2nd seed TW
FNC:1st or 2nd seed EU
TSM:1st or 2nd seed NA

 

[kenbo]

So the teams classified to worlds are:
LGD:1st seed CN
SKT:1st or 2nd seed KO
AHQ:1st seed TW
HKE:2nd seed TW
FNC:1st or 2nd seed EU
TSM:1st or 2nd seed NA

Sadly HKE lost to Flash Wolves

 

[Imperfected]

On the plus side, every region is sending a pretty definite 1st/2nd seed, so there shouldn't be much whinging about "Oh, if only [insert team from region that failed to qualify] hadn't lost than one game, they could have showed the World what [insert region] is really capable of."

There's a team from each region that has either performed exceptionally well or outright stomped the entire year. No Regional Johns this season.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

For NA:
TSM already qualify by points.
If CLG wins, they automatically qualify as Summer Playoff winner

If TSM wins and TL wins, TL qualify as the highest champ point team. CLG is first seed in regional qualifiers and need to win one more game.

If TSM wins and TIP wins, CLG qualify as the highest champ point team. TIP is first seed in regional qualifiers and need to win one more game.

So the teams classified to worlds are:
LGD:1st seed CN
SKT:1st or 2nd seed KO
AHQ:1st seed TW
HKE:2nd seed TW
FNC:1st or 2nd seed EU
TSM:1st or 2nd seed NA

Flash Wolves won the regional, so they're in and not HKE.

Edit: From yesterday's match

God-KAO Approved

There's no team from NA that perform well all year lol....

 

[Ambition]

There's no team from NA that perform well all year lol....

TSM did pretty good at IEM tbf

 

[Shining Sunshine]

NA Teams can easily beat that terrible EDG team from the recent games lol.

 

[WesternHeretic]

TSM did pretty good at IEM tbf

And they enter summer playoffs as the #4 seed.

They did the best overall but they still weren't consistent.

Neither were Fnatic before MSI. Things change mang
