dude he left a disorganized team that hated to practice and didn't take anything serious for a well known disorganized team that hated to practice and especially hated having any type of upper management that had any say in how/what they played

it was destined for failure

yea i'm just contesting the idea that rekkles is a hard person to deal with or whatever ppl seem to be suggesting

he went from an eu team to another eu team, that's basically the story :p

i think rekkles is incredibly hard to deal with. he spent so long being hailed as the savior of EU that it probably got to his head. just look at how willing he is to publicly trash talk his own teammates on a personal level after barely having been with the team.

unless i'm missing something, he just honestly answered a "shouldn't be answered honestly" question

I expected things to be better, both team-wise and organisation-wise, so I'm honestly a bit dissapointed.

I missed the game, but apparently Freeze redeemed himself. I didn't really expect CW to beat FNC.

Even with 1 game lost this week though, Ghost's FNC team has over 300 points. So many!

Anivia and AP Kog'Maw win* in the same week. Truly we're in a waveclear/sieging era if that happens. Game's never been so close to late season 2 as now.

*Okay, so Elements lost, but Froggen played Anivia, that's an honorary win in my book.

What a beautiful team fight from Gambit, the one where they managed to get the first baron afterwards. Really well played by Diamond there, and a perfectly executed team fight considering their team comp.

Not to jinx it, but this could finally be Newt's week. He has 4 players yet to play versus his opponent's 2, and only 40 points to make up.

*edit* If I see manamune triforce Ezreal show up midlane in silver games, I know who to blame. :mad:

ALTEC GET ME SOME POINTS MAH BOY

btw if you ever hear a loud and obnoxious OH MY GOD from the audience it's likely my roommate. I already heard him in the CLG game earlier.

C9 with the nexus kill under 26 minutes. The problem with that is, C9 is my fantasy team and they won so fast they hardly got any points, ha.

*edit* Wait, they should get +2 for an under 30 minute victory. It's not showing up yet on the site though.

I benched two T8 players this week, which appears to have been the right decision.

Unfortunately I also benched TL Fenix, which was apparently not.

*edit* TSM is doing their hardest to throw. Down 0-2 dragons now.

Oh no, I need Aphromoo to do well, but ALSO Bjergsen and Dyrus. I'm conflicted today! Neko has only a 7-point lead on me but Altec's score was scary high yesterday.

Yeah, C9 got completely crushed. They had 2 early dragons which didn't really make up for the early towers, and it's been downhill since then. Stuff like a 5v5 fight, 3 kills + baron for WFX, 0 kills for C9.

Altec is already 63 points and climbing this week. I'm hoping the game ends soon so he can't increase Neko's fantasy score even further. Ending, phew.

*edit* Altec 73.29 points.

Is this upset day or something? First C9 getting beaten badly, and now 1-6 CST making TIP look lost despite the gold advantage. I think TIP can still win though, as long as Graves is kept under control.

Gleeb did play very well, but Balls decided to lose his mind and engage on him in the most crucial teamfight was even more crucial. That or Meteos not following him on Altec when Avalon went way too far chasing Sneaky in the previous teamfight (Meteos went to protect Sneaky, but he was already safe). Weird seeing C9 lose a game due to repeated poor teamfighting, especially against a team who clearly didn't think they had a real chance of winning.

Might just be me but, the NALCS is looking really weak overall. Ya theres TSM/CLG but, everything else is like a big shit show.

I thought I saw that once or twice. Once there was a pretty hard chase on Leona, and other times Kassadin or whatever kept poking her. I was wondering if it was a good idea trying to take out the tank to get rid of the initiation/disenage, or what.

*edit* A tower diving teamfight right before dragon spawns? What could go wrong! CST went for baron instead, and TIP got a second dragon as well.

Both NA and EU LCS are tbh. I do try to watch most of the games live but If I miss some games I don't care. I find myself watching every Korean and Chinese VoD instead.

It's gotten weaker than previous seasons. Now, there's just 2-3 decent team in each region, and the mid/low tier teams make so many mistakes.

one thing to consider is that there was just a pretty huge roster shakeup, with new players on every team except c9, a lot of them being koreans that don't really speak the same language as their teammates, and since teams play less games now, there's even less time for these teams to develop synergy

i'm guessing the quality of the games will go up a bit as the season goes forward, right now it's pretty crazy town, what with clg doing consistently well, alliance being shit, sk not being outmeta'd already, c9 being all yolo winter split and yellowstar's ranked 5s team dominating just about everyone
