Marin managed a combined 0/10/5 score after two games.

Holy poo poo Marin got a rough welcome to the LPL. QG literally broke the backboard dunking on him.

Not having the other team worry about faker is a pretty big disadvantage.

Meanwhile in Brazil, Operation Kino and CNB just kicked off the season with a 73-minute game. It got kinda boring to watch after about the 45-minute mark

I've dropped off hard in keeping up but holy poo poo look at those roster changes.

Yeah same. I've picked up bits and pieces here and there but reading through the NA/EU teams I don't know who half the players and teams are anymore.

Some of the NA rosters look interesting for sure.

Time to make some picks for today!

TSM vs CLG
C9 vs IMM
DIG vs NRG
REN vs LIQ
ECH vs TIP

I'm going to enjoy being wrong on all of these except the TSM one.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Well NRG is fielding Cris today so prepare to be wrong!

I for one am ready for a showdown between the titans of toplane Chris and Smittyj. May the best player scrounge up enough farm in a 1v2 lane to be relevant later.

Also:

TSM vs CLG
C9 vs IMM
DIG vs NRG
REN vs LIQ
ECH vs TIP

Upsets are the best

I seriously do not think TiP has any chance to beat any other team in the league short of some impossible to foresee catastrophic circumstances/choices.

I'm inclined to agree, but I also thought the same thing about Elements :v:

TIP are almost certainly worse than Elements though.

I think Elements stole the win off a young inexperienced team and I suppose that could actually happen with TiP versus the likes of say, Renegades. So maybe TiP could steal a win too.

The other trashcan teams in Europe are also a lot worse than the bottom tier NA teams.

A brief thought on LPL: the OMG jungler Fishball was actually the best player on their team with some good pressure and map control and ganking routes. Also he's very likely to be replaced by TBQ next week. So.

Also 957 xiye and Conan looked pretty good, so WE may be a legit team. Also DanDy looked pretty strong out there in the jungle.

I want to know how drunk COOL was during the match last night. I am not actually joking about this.
