Whoever scouts talent for Fnatic is amazing. It's so rare to see a newly assembled team play this well.
Is it just me or is Deficio just talking out of his ass most of the time? He pretty much incorrectly analyzed everything about the Gambit game. He lamented their picks, the way they were playing, basically talked about them being on the edge of losing the entire game despite their complete map control. I was shaking my head almost the entire time.
I don't pay that much attention to the EU LCS so maybe he's normally on point but that was pretty poor color commentary.

Eh, I think he was pretty justified in being upset with Gambit's picks. They went for a double AD comp with a top lane tank and sat around doing nothing after getting an early lead. They never built pressure across multiple lanes so Kori was able to repel their pushes on Xerath. If MYM weren't horrible (lol Jwaow blindly walking into them 1v5 and then them wandering into their jungle looking for a fight) they might well have been able to hold out and beat them in the super late game due to Rek'Sai, Leona and Irelia becoming unkillable with HP/Armor and Xerath destroying their AD carries from range.
In Gambit's defence they were playing with a sub mid laner and, well, it was MYM.

I'm really impressed by H2K lately. They seem to have some great shotcalling and strategy.

He's still better than quikshot. My god.
One area of LoL that's definitely gone backward in the LoL era is the casting, especially in EU now that Deman and Joe Miller have left. Casts from Season 2 minor tournaments were frequently better than main casts today, more insightful and much more fun. When IEM gets (ex-)pros on (like Scarra, Saint, Krepo etc.) it's immediately clear how much we're missing. Have good hopes for Zirene though - wish he'd get moved up out of challenger land, he's better than any of the main NA casters except Jatt and Kobe. Monte/DoA are still the gold standard though.

MY POINTS NOOOOOOOOOO

This upset...
Only watched the last half, but somehow Huni was tilting really hard. Got caught out trying to flank, then tpd back in to literally repeat his death. Gambit was playing the teamfights really well, Betsy had a flash charm a half second after Reignover's Olaf ultimate ran out for example. Fnatic seemed lost and Gambit capitalized on it, along with some really good engages.

it's unfortunate for Alliance that the only thing they could find to replace their Earth element is the Garbage element.
I guess my prediction of 430 points after the first day did not pan out. Now if only ShdwDrake manages to have an amazing score, you might finally pick up a loss!
On a side note, my decision to ditch C9 and add Gambit worked out well this week.
*edit* I did not expect this MYM game to be this close given their record.

EU so wacky. I love it.

what the fuck just happened
Too many missplays during that game, as seen by Rapidstar's analysis (mostly on Link's Lissandra plays), but that game was sure fun too. Especially the throw and comeback.

I'd rank yesterday's 5 games like so:
1. GIA vs. UoL
2, ROC vs. ELE
3. FNC vs. GMB
4. SK vs. H2K
5. CW vs. MYM
All were at least pretty good though, and depending on what you like to watch I could understand a very different ranking.

Good draft from Winterfox, and very good Annie play from Imagine.
