Love when Riot makes those excellent small films about the players (talking here about the Piglet/Impact video, but also thinking about the road to worlds series). I'd love to see some videos of the Gambit players and how their lives have changed with their time as League pros.
i'm stressed for piglet
why must my dear koreans suffer
yeah that would actually be a pretty great idea
the downfall of gambit is a pretty interesting subject

Keith will get his chance to shine in the LCS though, no doubt about it
as for the second part, while I may have agreed with you a couple weeks ago, it looks like Piglet has made strides to improve, and the past two games weren't his fault.
Granted, if the team plays that much better with Keith, then that's difficult to argue, but it's a shitty situation either way.

XWX winning without a passive all weekend......
nothing to do with how piglet played tho, feels like all of liquid was off, which can be cos they're not comfortable playing with him, but that's not his fault, at least not entirely
and there's a lot of questionable things like fenix rushing a maw last game that have nothing to do with chemistry or anything, just players playing bad
if they're gonna be a shit team with piglet they should probably just replace him but it doesn't mean he's washed out (him being bad in korea does), it just means there's no chemistry with his team
like, impact was pretty underwhelming in korea too before he moved to na, but he seems to be in synch with his team, or at least his team is in synch with him
but in any case, if team liquid is gonna keep losing they should probably get keith back. i'm guessing they're gonna have to make good use of the iem break to get themselves making sense

CLG is really good at winning fast.
To be fair only the low middle-low tier teams have picked him so far.
yeah, clg's early game is easily the best in the west
i kinda agree with montecristo that viktor is probably not that great of a pick and that kuro might be playing him because he doesn't want to give up anything for iem
not saying viktor's bad, but that maybe teams are tunneling on him maybe not for the bestest of reasons
Kuro's definitely baiting out bans, but even if Viktor is not OP, he's proven to be a strong pick. It's not only Kuro that plays him with sucess after all. The low-tier NA teams might not understand when or why he is strong; they're tunneling on him for the wrong reasons as you say.

Remember Swift? The guy who jungled for CJ Frost after impressing as a rookie for Xenics Storm? Well, the team he plays for in China, Qiao Gu, has just beaten OMG 3-2, coming from 2-1 down, in the Demacia Cup knockout competition (a LAN played over several months). Qiao Gu is coached by Hiro, formerly coach of WE and successful player for KT and NaJin. Apparently their mid laner is a Korean called BoriSal, but the player was named Doinb in the matches (so I've no idea if it's him who's playing or a Chinese replacement/sub). Whoever he was, he played out of his mind on Azir to pull back game 4 (I am usually conservative in my praise, but the things he did to turn that game were mindblowing), and went with Katarina in the decisive game 5 (though Swift's early ganks and deep vision were probably the most important factors in their snowballed victory). Their support is Mor, of LMQ fame.
They are on course to qualify for the LPL next split, having already qualified for the LSPL playoffs as one of the strongest performers. The depth of competition in China is unmatched anywhere in the world, and though that's not surprising given their playerbase and financial resources, it's still quite a sight.

Here's a link to a page with the VoDs for all the Demacia Cup Ro16 games (doesn't seem like game 5 it's up yet):

Lower link is game 4. Azir does more or less nothing till about the 23 minute mark when OMG are charging into the QG base. Then...
