I want to see Monte cry, but we get dududu instead.

 

[zkylon]

yeah i can't imagine ahq was surprised about veigar since he's been slowly showing up as a pick in solo q and stuff

they just look very uncoordinated and c9 looked collected and organized, it was great

i feel bad for ahq, they seem to always underperform at worlds for some reason

 

[HORRORSHØW]

cmon skt you motherfuckers. you're my only korean hope. the other two teams are going to shit the bed i think.

[Hemi-PoweredDrone]

if Faker doesn't hover Zed to taunt Ryu I'm not cheering for SKT anymore

One of them has to pick Zed. I wouldn't be surprised if Ryu picked a comfort pick because doing something weird is the only way they'll have a semblance of a chance to win. It'll still be a stomp but they might as well try something and get some fans.

 

[MaxiLive]

Lemonation was crazy during the fight just before baron

 

[zkylon]

smiling ryu :>

i'm rooting for u my boy

 

[Grakl]

What are people talking about when they mention skins?

 

[Mystery]

West > East

Unless your last name is Door.

 

[Mister Negative]

Apparently, Incarnati0n used to main veigar on an account called "Veigodx"

That would make a lot of sense.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Basically DLC costumes for the playable characters

 

[Grakl]

Basically DLC costumes for the playable characters

Yeah I know, but people saying stuff like "RIP my skins", are they winning skins from these matches or something?

 

[cHinzo]

Lmao at all the people saying Veigar is broken. Overreact much? Veigar's weakness is playing against assassins, but they all got nerfed by Riot. Maybe an idea to buff em back up to keep Veigar in check instead of destroying every champ? Apparently not an option. :^)

The other games in group B are gonna be interesting. Too bad we're gonna see a stomp again now. :d

 

[Mister Negative]

Well RIP my skins is a reference to the gambling that goes on for CSGO matches, but Riot ran a thing where if you pick the winner of matches correctly you get Championship Riven, which is a highly desired legacy skin.

Ah yes, the mid-worlds patch will surely bring Veigar back into line.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Riot is running a promotion that if you guess all winners correctly you win a rare skin, might be that

 

[Leezard]

If you correctly predict all results, you get a rare skin that you can't buy anymore.

Yeah, Veigar isn't 100% pick ban. Trist was a bigger problem in that game vs no wave clear.

 

[Burt]

The Veigar buff was huge regardless. Used to be that you would need rank 2 in the stun to consistently hit with his W, but making W come .25s faster is pretty much the same net result. Makes a big difference in his first few levels.

Actually a lot of assassins have received buffs recently. And veigar is still a very strong pick

 

[Pancakes]

Veigar isn't broken at all, AHQ just wasn't ready for the pick at all and Rengar went full NA. He's very easy to shutdown and destroy if you've watched Froggen play him.

Here's a link to the 'game' a lot of people are playing. It offers and explanation and rewards http://pickem.na.lolesports.com/en-US#how-to-play

 

[Quonny]

Froggen has been championing Veigar for quite some time. He is our Messiah.

[Leezard]

Ready for first pick Zed?

edit: boo

 

[brian!]

Arent gp and morg good picks against veig or is that not how it is anymore, i dont really know gps new kit either, other than he goes dunkey kung now

 

[Mister Negative]

love SKT in black. That's how you show up to worlds baby

I mean gp is a good pick no matter what at this point. Not sure if he's a direct counter to veigar now though since both their kits have been reworked

 

[Type2]

Their logo always reminds me of sonic the hedgehog. Faker, gotta go fast!

As far as the veigar pick i just don't think he's going to be slept on because he is very strong right now and punishing him with an ad mid forces you to do weird things with your team comp.

Oh man I want h2k to yasuo!

 

[Bacon]

Gragas? What patch is this?

 

[HORRORSHØW]

lock it in ryu!

 

[Quonny]

H2K zzz picks.

 

[Leezard]

Gragas? What patch is this?

loulex does not have that many comfort picks

 

[killatopak]

SKT HYPE!!!

 

[Ambition]

Back to boring picks

 

[Stone Ocean]

Gragas? What patch is this?

Juggernaut patch aka you better have peel

[PhillipCostigan]

I went to a meeting and missed a Veigar game

I knew it would happen

 

[Pancakes]

FK YOU RYU!

 

[Hemi-PoweredDrone]

A LeBlanc against the master of LeBlanc. It's not Zed, but still great.

 

[Elfstruck]

Balls was still weak.

#WorryingTrend

They set him back 20 cs and a level vs. Darius. That's a bad call.

 

[Edwardo]

Project Fiora looks pretty good.

 

[Ambition]

dat BM

 

[Quonny]

Project Fiora looks pretty good.

Her passive looks real neato.

 

[Mister Negative]

Weird that you can spellshield trist E on explosion but not Zilean bomb.

 

[Type2]

I really wanted kikis on h2k

 

[Leezard]

Weird that you can spellshield trist E on explosion but not Zilean bomb.

Are you sure you can't do that after the Zilean rework?

 

[Mister Negative]

Are you sure you can't do that after the Zilean rework?

Good question, I'm actually not sure.

 

[TharpDaddy]

H2K up in gold. #WesternEuphoria

 

[Mister Negative]

will ryu ever land a chain

 

[Leezard]

Ryu is trying so hard to damage Faker.

edit: and he gets a kill!
