League of Legends Championship Series: Season 7
- Thread starter Newt
- Start date
I wanted to see how well C9 did against international competition, because TSM without doublelift lost to UoL and the new IMT roster obviously isn't doing great.
I'm guessing an invitation was probably sent to CLG since they went to worlds, but I don't think they went to an IEM event yet. TSM might have also been asked.
Same. I am still going to watch though.
Also yo Flyquest vs C9 this weekend is going to be hype. Not even sure who to cheer for

Monster performance from Marin and Afreeca Freecs to take down SKT. SKT showed some weakness in those two games, where they couldn't get big leads in lane phase, allowed AFs to pull some sneaky baron plays on them and kite back from their squishy assassins and dive attempts. With much more aggressive players than usual at both top and jungle compared to the incredible SKT teams in 2013, '15 and '16 they might have more difficulties in the closer games where they'd normally rely on superior macro and team comps to win. Peanut was reduced to fairly desperate engage attempts on Rengar as neither he nor Huni could bully Spirit or Marin during lane phase.
Level of play was generally exceptional though - Kuro and Kramer both played much better than their usual and Marin was simply godly in both games. SKT made several poor mistakes in game 2, as if they were rocked a little by the challenge.

Luckily there's two spots open for the promotion tournament, so Vitality still has a chance.

Jhin stole baron with W. When all 5 of TL is alive. With smite.

They, uh, saw Ray on a ward before he even got to bot lane and then committed to that push. They knew he would just walk up and kill their nexus and let him do it. Sums up TL's play after the first 20 minutes.

Every week I come back, and every week TL disappoints me again.
Good thing for IMT is that DIG decided to just go roll over and die. At least game 2 had an explosive ending with the MF ult to melt DIG.
Not sure which game 1 was worse. TL with the choke or DIG with the no defending anything plan.

Looper's Singed was just too good, applying relentless pressure and even getting a trade kill when completely caught out. Froggen and Akaadian ruled game 1 on LB and Lee. I can only imagine how much Froggen is enjoying finally having strong teammates around him. I don't see them troubling FlyQuest or TSM, but they could be a solid top half team this year.
Agreed. Given the way they were playing last year, I'm sure a playoffs berth would be a huge success for Rick Fox and co.

The way Dash is talking, it sounds like he believes Jhin only crits on his fourth shot. Zeke's harbinger is not less efficient because Jhin has 3 non-guaranteed crit shots.

I can't believe Echo Fox managed to close that out so well. They never let off the pedal

I think that teams should consider banning Singed in the second round a bit more often. Looper has a Singed skin for a reason. Not that he couldn't perform well on other tanks, but he really knows how to play singed
With the mao nerfs this patch I can see singed getting played every game by echo if they don't ban him.
But I felt like every member pulled their weight. Jhin had some great ults. I think this will go to game 3 though
They are popular because of the assasian rework. They. Can pop off an ult and or slow before getting deleted. Plus lethality is good with varus. That spell shield does wonders for champs with no escapes
