yeah a lot of my thoughts here are definitely colored by how I see the situation and I'm definitely not coming from an objective standpoint
I'm so tired of things that think they come from an objective standpoint tho

but w/e I didn't mean to bog down the thread w/ paragraphs about dyrus's dad and I'm totally forgetting this isn't the community thread

InSec got his Rengar? LMAO!!!!

TSM beat SK at least. They can go home victorious as the NA v EU debate has been settled lulz.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

FUCK LOL ZERO WITH THE MEJAI'S

Such disrespect.

 

[zkylon]

janna mejais isn't really disrespect

safe supports like her frequently buy it

i think he bought it too against tpa?

 

[ShdwDrake]

FUCK LOL ZERO WITH THE MEJAI'S

Such disrespect.

Mejais is a core item on Janna tho.

 

[brian!]

mejais is good on her but i agree with what krepo said about that one guy not needing to buy it in that TPA game when they could have gotten an aegis instead

like u gotta be able to get some stacks

i think mejais pretty terrible pretty much always

 

[brian!]

ppl build it on janna in particular because she has good ratios and it's relatively easy to garner stacks with her
in the tpa game janna bought it like right when tpa decided they would tiptoe everywhere forever

 

[Anfang]

i think mejais pretty terrible pretty much always

Mejais, leviathan and sword of the occult is ultimate build.

INTERESTING FACT:
Mata bought 19 pink wards in the game where they beat EDG. Fzzf bought 11 in comparison.


It's pretty crazy to see the ward economy of top tier supports. I buy like 5 pinks in a game (unless there's stealth champion)

 

[brian!]

it also speaks to edg's control

there's no way im waking up at 5:30 to watch dis shit again tho

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Only TPA TSM is worth watching IMO.

Group C and Group D games next week should be way way way better.

Not to mention that he puts them down in team fights as a+click bait. Dirty.

I dunno, might be interesting to see if SK regains any footing with their sub jungler tomorrow.

Group A will be totally dire though for sure.

oh i missed that

I'm kinda ready to just move on to group c and d

I was saying TSM's problems seem pretty identifiable and fixable in mumble but I dunno anymore

And when sven comes back to see if they can get it together.

Yea I dunno

The terrible pick and ban phase can be fixed but it may have masked gameplay n decision making issues that also exist

And when sven comes back to see if they can get it together.

Might be too late, depending on how inconsistent the top 2 teams are.

 

[brian!]

this write-up on the pick/ban for tsm is kind of nice

It didn't seem possible before, but what will happen if TSM, Lmq and cloud 9 all lose in group stage?

 

[Imperfected]

Pretty sure the tournament will proceed normally and the lion's share of the worldwide viewers won't actually care much. Maybe Riot will question the wisdom of expansion when they've already got two rotating spots for hard-luck teams. (Probably not.)

There will be loads of comments on reddit about how they do not care anymore about worlds this year and that there is something wrong with the format this year as well.
Same as all years when NA is out of chances to win.

Today's Games:

Key Games:
TSM v TPA

As NA's number one hope for a NA team in the semi-finals, belief in TSM's ability to leave groups has been shaken after their crushing defeat to CH#2, SHRC. TPA stands between TSM and a possible place in the semi-finals. With a shaky performance from both teams yesterday, this game will depend a large amount on each teams ability to lane cleanly

EDG v AHQ

AHQ's unfortunate start against SSW has showed us very little about the team's strength. Their teamwork in their game against DP may have alluded to how they have improved their team-communication and many of the home crowd are hoping for AHQ to pull an upset against the CH#1, EDG. Win this game, and the crowd will go wild

[SliceSabre]

TPA is just too stronk.

 

[dimb]

It's better than SK winning anything I guess.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

It's better than SK winning anything I guess.

yeah I don't think they'll be winning anything any time soon

 

[dimb]

yeah I don't think they'll be winning anything any time soon

I dunno. This group is honestly terrible. TPA can still lose this game pretty easily.

 

[Ferga]

My god... is sk going to win this?

 

[PhillipCostigan]

both of these teams are bad

 

[dimb]

Deman is pulling some Mr. Magoo shenanigans. Or is that Joe Miller? I can't tell.

 

[SliceSabre]

TPA throwing.

 

[Ferga]

I know but for a team to lose to a team with a sub...

Come on, TPA.

[CRS]

The World wardrobe for Sjokz is on point. Holy fuck.

 

[bokn]

tpa did good to bring the game back for the victory though. Good job Boyz

 

[Diprosalic]

It's to give them something to dream for
