"This could be our final game of our career."

Wow. What a terrible thing to say before a match.

 

[Pancakes]

Turtle with continued shit positioning

Lustboy missing easy skillshots and never ulting

Santorin being rather useless

Dyrus ulting Olaf

Yep, it's NA boys.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

tsm needs to ban malphite

While it wasn't accurate, it could be Turtle's final day with TSM. It probably is for Dyrus.

 

[Pancakes]

Post worlds roster changes: Dyrus gone, Turtle gone, Santorin 50/50, Lustboy 50/50. That team needs to get blown up.

 

[galvenize]

-OG first picks Kalista
-Niels: ""

 

[idlewild_]

While TSM had some pretty bad misplays, I think they did pretty well to even be in contention for the games today. Many people thought they wouldn't even make it to worlds or win a game in their groups. While it is always disappointing to not make it out of groups, I think they acquitted themselves well considering the expectations of them coming in.

With Dyrus retiring, I hope they get can get someone who can shotcall to replace him as that seems to be their most glaring weakness.

 

[Makareu]

On one hand OG losing to LGD would do wonder for my pick'em, and 1rst / 2nd place may not be that important since the only powerhouse seems to be SKT.
On the other one, LGD are abysmal so far.

I am just gonna watch without any expectation.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Watching Origen is like "what if TSM wasn't shit"

Peke and Niels are so good

 

[HORRORSHØW]

what a shitshow

 

[garath]

I think soaz picked malphite just to show dyrus how he is played.

 

[Stone Ocean]

The Kennen pick is hurting OG really bad. Were other supports banned or something? I missed draft

 

[HORRORSHØW]

where the hell was this lgd all tourney?

 

[Leezard]

Man, OG are getting wrecked. LGD with Flame is another beast.

The Kennen pick is hurting OG really bad. Were other supports banned or something? I missed draft

Kalista + Kennen is regarded as a strong combo typically. I missed the draft too though.

Sure but wouldn't it be better to just double up on the wombo stuff or get some extra peel?

Doesn't help that Mithy keeps dying before using Zhonya's

 

[Primethius]

Flame, you magnificent son of a bitch.

I missed most of the game so I don't know really. Kennen is part of a wombo. The Janna pick is a kinda strong counter pick though.

 

[theprodigy]

well then, the next game is for 1st place in the group

also TSM vs LGD lol

 

[Stone Ocean]

I missed most of the game so I don't know really. Kennen is part of a wombo. The Janna pick is a kinda strong counter pick though.

Looking at the draft order it sounds kinda messy. Holding off from picking Ori until the last rotation while showing the Kennen pick early sounds pretty dumb.

No supports were banned either, wouldn't something like Ali or Braum fit Origen's comp better? Does Mithy play those well?

 

[Neol]

Well I had TSM last in my pick ems so I'm not too sad bout this >

Seems like a questionable draft, but Kennen fit with the plan. I don't think Braum would have been better, but Alistar might have been.

We'll see if OG can show up against KT.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

uh oh. all the analysts picked KT to win

congrats OG

 

[Stone Ocean]

I'm really not feeling Origen's comp. They're one locket away from a nasty mid game.

 

[Leezard]

KT is on point so far. Looks kinda bad for OG.

 

[Cramoss]

Why Kennen tho

 

[Neol]

Darius is getting huge

 

[Quonny]

OG needs to stop with the Kennen.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

fucking rekt

 

[Stone Ocean]

Let's first pick Elise and give Darius to one of the few players in this tournament that can make him work! Then as an answer to that we pick Kennen and a comp that will pretty much not even dent Ssumday's health bar!

Darius isn't even the problem, OG are just getting outplayed all over. The Reksai ganks and the global teleports from the rest of the team are used really well by KT and OG isn't ready for it. A fed Darius is going to become a problem, sure, but I think this would have happened no matter whether KT got Darius or not.

edit: Sure, Kennen is kinda terrible. Renekton could have been nice.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

lmao soaz with the plays

 

[Neol]

Yea this soaz kennen pick is pretty bad.

That dive tho.

 

[Quonny]

Soaz. Dude. Throw your Q in the brush to scout. It's not hard.

 

[Leezard]

KT are dominating it so hard right now. It would take a lot for them to lose.

He's not the problem but he's not making their life any easier, specially when Soaz has no answer to him.

I want to see Dyrus' 'Burn Bridges with everyone' post he promised.

 

[Leezard]

He's not the problem but he's not making their life any easier, specially when Soaz has no answer to him.

Kennen into Darius is fine if not for the fact that he died like 5 times early, which is all on KT for outplaying OG on the map, and on Soaz for positioning like he did.

Soaz got shut down so hard that he was near useless for the whole game.

For all the talk about China being strong, Korea has 3 #1 seeds going into the bracket stage.

Flash Wolves now Korean confirmed

edit: right now, by winrate, Korea>>>Taiwan>EU>NA=China

 

[HORRORSHØW]

it's going to be sad if fnc can't make it out tomorrow

 

[Neol]

it's going to be sad if fnc can't make it out tomorrow

Yea that would be the biggest upset for me.

Really hope they can pull it through.

 

[Leezard]

It's going to take a lot of effort to make it out for them right now, and Huni needs to not play over aggressive.

 

[idlewild_]

Flash Wolves now Korean confirmed

Oops, you're right, forgot that they were first. For some reason I had KOO in my mind.

 

[Pancakes]

Soaz is very easy to tilt.

 

[Stone Ocean]

It's going to be hilariously depressing if C9 ends up the only western team to leave groups.

 

[Leezard]

OG leaves groups, so that's not possible.

 

[ShdwDrake]

Isn't OG out of groups?

 

[HORRORSHØW]

next game for pride

Well ain't I stupid without my pickem standings at hand

 

[idlewild_]

next game for pride

I think TSM will just troll around like they did for Regi's last game.
