Support NeoGAF

[Omnicent]

bets on a dignatoss at baron?

 

[Stone Ocean]

The more I see Huhi play the less I understand why the fuck would you swap him for Pobelter

 

[zkylon]

man, i don't have too many problems with trundle support as a pick but it's really exposing lots of nasty bugs with like terrain and creepblocking

huhi couldn't walk out that situation because creeps+pillar created a wall behind him

that doesn't really seem fair

The more I see Huhi play the less I understand why the fuck would you swap him for Pobelter

i dunno, huhi's more of a rookie so u can expect some mistakes

pobelter just seems like he never lived up to his hype and he's choked many times before so he's not a sure thing either

i think it's ok to try and that's what they wanted to do

pobs just didn't want to ride the bench so he left

 

[Hydrophobic]

Woo! This is the part of the split where dig is strong before inevitably falling off at the end!

 

[Macattk15]

Is this the same CLG that played TSM yesterday?

Wtf?

 

[CGwizz]

jax split push again bro ?
Get rekt!!!

 

[HORRORSHØW]

lmao

counter logic gaming indeed

 

[zkylon]

dang should've gotten kiwi from ghost

 

[garath]

Dig with a solid win. Nice.

Yes

This is what CLG looks like against a team that has mostly been playing together for more than a couple months

If you are referencing TSM you should say weeks and not months!

[PhillipCostigan]

mrw people think Trundle got nerfed too hard

 

[Eman Resu]

Classic clg

Was counting from IEM onwards

Either way CLG is looking awful.

According to Aphro, it's actually just a classic human resources fuckup. They chose Huhi in the first place, but his visa didn't come through quick enough so they had to start Pobelter last season. He did so well they just left him on, but this season they were basically like "look, we told Huhi he was our starting mid laner like a year ago, we need to deliver on that" and so Pob peaced out.

Obviously the original audition could use some scrutiny.

Dig on coms before the game: "No matter what happens, it's just a video game, guys."

I guess they saw the CLG game yesterday also!

That's... even more fucking asinine than I expected. Why would you hire him as a starter instead of one of the few LCS caliber NA mid laners?

Why would you fire the best ADC in NA the same year you finally win the title?

Counter. Logic. Gaming.

Doublelift I can understand since he's a diva and the CLG organization can't keep him in check but Huhi is gonna get fucked vs the current NA mid lane roster.

QFT. Just went 4/2/16 even whilst going yolo.

 

[WaterAstro]

CLG > TSM
DIG > CLG
NRG > DIG

therefore
NRG > TSM

therefore
GBM > Bjergsen

 

[Stone Ocean]

Oh man, Syndra

 

[Envelope]

Oh man, Syndra

but not jg

 

[Stone Ocean]

I really wish they'd gone for a Jinx Anivia Tahm comp though

 

[pigeon]

Hauntzer ate the wrong target!

 

[Envelope]

bjergsen the beast

 

[NormalFish]

it's honestly stunning that Riot lets chat go wild the way it does.

 

[Envelope]

the tsm throws lmao

 

[Hydrophobic]

TSM got super greedy there. Honestly even if they were down in health it was still 5v3 and doublelift was the only one who had nearly full health.

 

[pigeon]

Somehow you can simultaneously see how good TSM players are individually and also see them throwing super hard as a team.

 

[TheBritishBear]

Eesh, both Origen and TSM, who are expected to be the number one in their respective regions as predicted by analysts and fans, are really under-performing.

So many upsets.

 

[pigeon]

DL: "BUT THEY'RE SO LOW"

edit: It's a good time for TL to fight since Ez's build is still pretty far back, good job on them for seizing the initiative. TSM just doesn't have enough damage yet.

 

[cHinzo]

 

[CGwizz]

yellowstar comes to nalcs to get them money but is playing like shit

 

[pigeon]

I'm not sure that was really a missed Bard ult, it kept Lourlo from initiating while he was full rage.

 

[Envelope]

finally tsm gets it right

and then horribly wrong

 

[pigeon]

Better fight. Big credit to Bjerg for his stuns, every Syndra stun is hitting key targets.

 

[WaterAstro]

freesm

 

[riskybusinesstomcruise]

TSM's teamfight is so much worse than Liquid's LOL. Keep 5v5'ing the wombo team guy's it will totally work.

 

[pigeon]

Remember when they said Gnar was too unreliable to ever see pro play?

 

[riskybusinesstomcruise]

I remember thinking this.

 

[pigeon]

Somebody just scaled.

 

[Envelope]

matt lost that game for TL by getting caught out too early

 

[CGwizz]

GG izzi

 

[cHinzo]

Well that was pretty exciting. Messy, sloppy, but exciting.

 

[pigeon]

So blue build Ezreal.

edit: Great strategic depth from TSM in just not throwing the game over the course of like twenty minutes behind. Or maybe just Team Liquid doing that thing where they don't do a thing.

Poor Piglet. He looks like he might die.
