Unpopular (?) opinion but is a shame this brand of LoL isn't allowed to be more successful. Maybe the game has become too cerebral for its own good?

 

[cHinzo]

Thank god G2 won their game against Gigabyte.

Edit: hey WE can actually win this game.

 

[clemenx]

WTF WE you're having a perfectly close game with SKT and you do that.

 

[Envelope]

WTF WE you're having a perfectly close game with SKT and you do that.

literally every game against skt

 

[WaterAstro]

WTF WE you're having a perfectly close game with SKT and you do that.

Eh it wasn't that close. SKT always had higher gold even with less kills.

Man, it's just another Korean stomp this year. Why does any other country even try?

 

[Hydrophobic]

Other countries try because just giving up is worse?

Personally I want to see more international competition throughout the year.

 

[TheFlow]

Pretty much. You neve elbow what can happen till you try.

Plus imagine if you beat SKT. Bragging rights

 

[Hydrophobic]

Dardoch officially moves to CLG

Xmithie also to Immortals

The roster rumors were true. I think Immortals comes out the worse for this trade because Dardoch seemed like a win condition. I don't know how well Dardoch will slot into CLG though. How long till we see a behind-the-scenes with Dardoch flaming Huhi?

 

[dimb]

Dardoch still looks pretty toxic to me. I really doubt anyone wants to play with him.

Pretty much. I can't see that much point for CLG to do the change, perhaps they just couldn't get anyone else.

 

[clemenx]

That's just CLG protecting themselves for the ensuing Sejuani meta.

Wow G2 so bad.

 

[corin7]

TSM is totally going to find a way to throw, aren't they?

Edit - totally throwing. Why do I put myself through this?

 

[clemenx]

THEY ARE BOTH SO BAD

 

[clemenx]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

[corin7]

What is even happening? WHAT WAS THAT?

 

[Rainy]

LOL HOLY FUCK TSM DID IT.

 

[Hydrophobic]

I LOVE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

 

[faridmon]

OMG WHAT AN END

 

[TheOddOne]

WTF.

HOLY SHIT.

 

[donnaben]

wtfff

 

[clemenx]

Fuck, I can't believe Trick tried that lololol

 

[Mr. Diaz]

I sounded like an idiot that last 30 seconds of that game. GG

 

[Godan]

Zven cost them there by going for rumble at the end.

 

[PhazonBlazer]

Holy shit

 

[BolognaSoup]

That was amazing.

 

[clemenx]

Yep. Zven threw that, though I wouldn0't be too hard on him. Super high pressure moment.

 

[WinFonda]

TSM played that really well TBH

 

[Vimes]

Ya'll should try watching the Brazilian stream at least once.

AAAAAAAAAACE

 

[Hydrophobic]

When it comes to a base race moment I think it's hard to make huge admonishments (other than 'don't get into a base race ya idiot').

 

[Prototype Viktor]

Lol that base race

 

[Kangi]

Best teams from both regions right there.

Dear God.

 

[donnaben]

Did anyone else think that wasn't a mistake by trickz to go for backdoor? Had he tp'd back to base he still wouldnt have been able to stop tsm push, i thought it was a great attempt.

 

[NSESN]

Perkz at least is playing decent internationally for once. Trick however is the worst jungler here and most junglers from play-in looked better.

TSM played that really well TBH

If that is playing well...

 

[clemenx]

Did anyone else think that wasn't a mistake by trickz to go for backdoor? Had he tp'd back to base he still wouldnt have been able to stop tsm push, i thought it was a great attempt.

Nah, it was the right call. Trying to stop them at the nexus 1v5 would've been useless.

 

[TheOddOne]

 

[donnaben]

The best part of that play was how he kicked rumble (maybe it was someone else) away from the nexus, which gave him a small pocket of space to win. I thought he was going to pull it off right when he made that play.

 

[clemenx]

It's a shame he didn't have a ward available to jump the base wall and had to use flash there. Using flash to kite at the nexus would've given him probably 2 or 3 extra autos and he does it. Maybe he could have W to a minion too but I guess he used it on himself? Either way flash would definitely have been better for that.

Omg so many details. Gonna have to watch it many times.

Holy disrespect draft by SKT.

 

[Leezard]

Gigabyte Marines looking as good as if not stronger than both G2 and TSM. At least they are playing proactive and aggressive. They just lose in the same way by overextending late.

Wildcards have come a long way.

 

[clemenx]

Levi's Khazix is the best thing in this event.

Sriously just ban Gragas, Khazix and Ziggs vs them everytime.

 

[Leezard]

I wonder if Levi will get a lot of offers from foreign teams following this tournament.

 

[Kangi]

I'd comment on how YET ANOTHER team gave Stark Gragas, but how about how they gave Levi Kha'zix.

Yep. If there's one thing I would never have believed about how competitive LoL has developed it's how strong the wildcard regions have become. In season 3 Worlds GG.EU and Mineski were a total waste of space.

 

[Leezard]

For sure.

A fun fact is that SKT is 5-0 so far, while all the other teams are tied for second with 2-3.

 

[clemenx]

While WE and FW haven't done anything special I'll just root for G2 and TSM to not make knockout round for some Reddit tears.

 

[Leezard]

It's not looking impossible for GAM to get out of groups as a top 4 team either. Since the top 4 teams decide the Pool 1 Seeds for worlds for the region, what do you think will happen?

SEA Wild cards to get a Pool 1 Seed?

 

[Prototype Viktor]

You can tell who is heavily scrimming who by the common 1st round bans

 

[Hydrophobic]

FW got rolled that game.

 

[cHinzo]

Man, it's the rest vs each other and SKT just chillin at the top.

 

[Kangi]

Peanut's all-in on this clown fiesta.

 

[Quonny]

holy shit
