League of Legends Championship Series: Season 6
- Thread starter zkylon
- Start date
It's pretty depressing, actually, because when TSM's jungler looks bad every time, eventually you have to come to the conclusion that it's TSM's macro strategy leaving the jungler out to dry.
Amazing looked bad on TSM. When he got back to Europe he was doing great again.
Santorin was supposed to be a new talent until midseason.
Now Sven looks bad.
It can't always be another bad jungler hire. Something about TSM's organization just makes them weaker.

I wonder if TSM regrets Doublelift switching teams.
Mostly, I'm glad to see an early game team properly run over a late game team. It's been pretty inconsistent whether or not that happens the way it "should" this season, even in Korea. These hardcore farming teams (Ez + Gangplank with Orianna mid, srs?) have to be punishable or the entire meta falls apart.

Nah, I don't see it that way.
If he didn't want to be off the team, he would have been a team player, but instead, he was just poison, trying to steal players for the move, which made CLG kick him.
He wanted off the team.
ah I didnt know the details. Thanks
What's funny is that Ez/Ryze comps were getting stomped horribly for the first few weeks until Ryze got nerfed.
Somehow the takeaway for a bunch of teams was that they should play Ez/GP instead and...lose just as badly?
Just stop playing Ezreal in pro play, guys. It doesn't work. Takes too long.

The MVP this week will be the Sports Psychologist.
That's a pretty good point. That said, I never thought Svenskeren was their answer in the jungle.

Svenskeren's probably the one player the "community" has a (very?) high opinion of that I've never quite got the hype around. He's certainly aggressive, mechanically skilled and capable of running over weak junglers, but he's rarely shown great pathing and reading of the game, or even truly clutch plays in close games against his team's main opposition. He also ruined SK's worlds in S4 with ill discipline. (Watch him carry TSM to IEM Worlds next week now that I've said that.)
Now Rush, he's insanely good.

i always thought sven was being carried by 4g1vns insane play rather than being good

Is it for sure the jungler though? TSM has had a new jungler every year for the last few years and every year it feels like people talk about how the junglers get so bad.

Its the food in NA the fault probably.
It isn't one split. Even when TSM was winning Dyrus was left on an island so long that he turned into a ward his last season. Then Santorin and the bot lane followed suit. I don't think the four wards thing started off true, but it ended up happening as every player got grinded down.

Well nobody's gonna let Renegades and Dignitas live this nonsense down in a hurry.

If Dig gets beaten by a team that got 1v2'd by creeps... oh, who am I kidding, I don't have any respect for anyone on their roster to begin with, it won't change a thing.

Oh my Crumbzz, played that gank as badly as any random solo queue jungler could've.

Crumbzz should've just said 'Lag' in all chat. That would explain it.
That Crumbzz engage was hilarious:
1. Fail flash over the wall
2. Miss the Nidalee spear
3. Hard commit to the dive against the tank even with the Graves gone
That gave time for Kiwi and Kirei to show up and disengage, catch Crumbzz between the turrets, and kill him
Renegades is sort of like the anti-Impulse. They have a decent early game, but their mid-game is atrocious. No idea what to do with a gold lead.

I'm going to level with you: after four seasons I've run out of Dignitas jokes.
I need them to be relegated just so I can start on new material.

Hopefully that inspired you a little!
Seraph is going to be MVP top laner this split. Underneath his name it will say "Miscellaneous."

I give up. Supporting Dignitas hurts too much.
In case anyone asks, I never supported them because they were good. Because we all know they've never been better than middle of the pack (aside from maybe pre-LCS).

Ho-lee fuck, Cull-first Ezreal with Soraka support against Lucian/Alistar/TF is completely unacceptable. If Echo Fox lets Immortals get away with this they had absolutely no hope of ever winning this game.
My guess is IMT is going to push hard for the lane swap. No way that's going to fly in a standard 2v2.

Fox fell behind on objectives to a team that shouldn't have been able to fight them for anything prior to 20 minutes. Not much else to say.
what is pantheon the ultimate early game champ

1. They lane-swapped. Top laners come online 5-10 minutes later in lane-swaps unless you feed them like a jackass.
2. Pantheon's early game doesn't make up for having an Ezreal who's running nothing but a Sheen for damage for over half the game alongside a Coin-only Soraka.
3. Fiora can handle Pantheon if you actually Riposte the Aegis at least once, but that was obviously a bridge too far for kfo. (Terrible, terrible game on his part. Basically a non-entity compared to Panth despite being donated kills.)
The fact that Echo Fox couldn't even secure a dragon with their early game power differential basically shows me they can't be expected to perform against any sort of top international talent. They're going to get rolled by early game comps, and can't even keep their shit together for 30 minutes against late game comps. Just another pip in the "Hopeless NA Squads" field.

What game is worth watching on D1 that isn't CLG vs IMT. I missed a bunch of the games.
