guys... If tsm indeed gets 5th, what does that even say? Fnatic isn't great. AHQ isn't great. For one, we could get the myth out of the world that the gap between east and west is closing. EU is managing to look worse than last year, a soloqueue korean, a kind of failed one, 2 rookies and one yellowstar managed to take the split. TSM's weaknesses are kind of getting exposed here. Even if they make this game, which it doesn't look like, it's not a good sign that an AHQ like this can just get such a lead.

only thing that wasnt a problem is lustboy on thresh.



hurricane vs tanky shit never works
dyrus still ALMOST doing things right
Santorin ulting fucking creep waves and still not doing anything early game
TSM putting their best player on fucking cho gath again and again.



id just like to see something that makes it look like theyre giving a shit.

w/e got half a year til worlds.

Regi can't really let this happen, can he.

Heads will have to roll, right?

[Voidedmafia]

What the fuck, TSM? Like, what the fuck?

[Voidedmafia]

Like, I suspected TSM would probably get 4th/3rd if AHQ or Fnatic were good simply because EDG and SKT were effectively almost insurmountable. Their loss to Fnatic was understandable because of how WTF Fnatic's comp was (And because I think cho vs. Cassio is pretty good for cho, although I think Cassio was picked after LB). The loss to SKT is okay because it's fucking SKT (although even then Reginald had better games at S3 worlds than that). But that? That shouldn't have happened.

Also, Wildturtle needs to stop building Hurricane on Kalista when he's behind. Or just not play Kalista for awhile.

I think Santorin is falling to nerves like at IEM San Jose. Katowice probably went better because of San Jose and their success during the spring split. But now that Santorin is up against

the

best of the best and not a 3rd-place team at best (though I don't want to knock their victory over CJ Entus because it was

very

well deserved), it's like he's flashing back to San Jose and letting himself go. Unless BJK beats Fnatic it's going to be BJK and TSM out from groups. And then I predict it'll be EDG vs. SKT, with SKT as the obvious winner.

SOMEBODY'S gotta have their head bitchslapped.

thou shalt not speak badly of dyrus.

Hecarim does not look like his carry. Although he's never been given the chance to play Rumble at MSI, there's got to be something else he can go to if his tanks/support carries are out.

[Voidedmafia]

Wait wait...is SKT and Faker actually going to lose to EU?

I appears I spoke a little early...

Huni's ults have been really interesting. He often isn't aiming at the walls but it also does seem fairly impactful.

REIGNOVER THE HERO

[Voidedmafia]

Wow. That steal.

So who's gonna start mystery gifting?

P-EDIT: And an ace...Damn. Bang and Faker just can't cut through the 3 tanks.

[pickemgenius]

wow it's amazing what can happen when a good team rotates well and makes smart decisions. it's not over yet, but I think Fnatic will have to really throw hard to fuck this up.

oh and stealing baron from a fucking nunu is hilarious.

[Voidedmafia]

Steelback dying like that would do it.

[Voidedmafia]

I'm more confident in TSM and AHQ being out, though. Its still gonna be EDG vs. SKT with SKT winning, though.

One would think so right now, but who knows?

[pickemgenius]

what the fuck was that flash????

that was a bug?


holy shit that would fucking suck.

It might've been. I missed it.

[Cabd]

It was a known sej bug where you go over a wall then it puts you back

[Voidedmafia]

Holy shit...

[Cabd]

This will be the source of a few billion pounds of salt.

[quadz08]

that's known?

I've never seen it before

[Voidedmafia]

If TSM beats EDG and Fnatic somehow loses to BJK, that means there's a tiebreaker, right?

[Voidedmafia]

Santorin needs Sejuani. Or to play Gragas better.
Dyrus needs a tank. Or someone like Rumble.
Bjergsen shouldn't pick Cho.
WildTurtle should get Jinx
LustBoy is fine on Thresh. If not maybe Annie or something.

Sion is good, Urgot is great, Corki's also pretty good--WHAT?!
