That was beautiful. C9 thought they could grab WildTurtle and Pobelter just obliterated them.

I keep saying this but people forget when C9 came in and destroyed everyone in their first season Meteos was a real master of objective control and ganking, especially on Lee Siin.

I mean he isn't even the best jungler on his own team, lets not get too crazy here.

I thought C9 would just get 2-0'd but while they lost they did show a lot more fight than I thought they were capable of v :shobon:

IMT decides a full damage toplaner isn't enough, picks a full damage support too

Victory.

Well yeah he's fallen off/people have passed him up obviously but "Meteos farming the jungle at 25 minutes while his team dies" meme is a bit exaggerated is what I'm getting at

Well IMT did choose a really dumb comp vs C9 in game two.

Santorin tunneled directly into the Bard ult as it was going down. His own team's Bard ultimate.

Even IMTs wins weren't one sided though. I agree C9 looked good against NA's Number One Team.

Huni stop loving lying in your interview, just spit the real and say gently caress tanks.

Yeah and C9 won that game exactly how they should. But IMT's wins were really good close games up until a point and that's pretty good for C9 considering everybody was talking about the end goal was 2017 Impact/Rush/Jensen/Sneaky/Some Support Not Named Bunny

I am so happy that LCS has moved away from bo1's.

The 2nd C9 vs IMT game in the spring split was also super close and probably my favorite game of the spring split because it was more kills than minutes. I'm just saying IMT dug themselves a hole with that team comp that would have lost against the bottom teams of the LCS.

Huni is just waiting to surprise everyone with a tank in an important series and have it not work because of a meta change.

Totally. Infact I'd attribute IMTs overzealous dives more to why the games were close than c9s play. Regardless, c9 showed more than a lot of people here are willing to give them credit for.

Is APX vs NRG game one worth watching the VOD later? Well I'll probably just watch the series later, because I want to see how NV vs TL goes. Need to watch the mercenary Seraph win games.

NRG is completely depressing right now and I weep for GBM.

It looks exactly the same as before to me, so I dunno.

Yeah that's why in the OP I just recommend checking the day's games on Abios or region's games on eSportspedia. The Lol Esports site looks like it was designed by an ADD 12 year old.

3 turrets now.

First 2 games of C9/IMT are worth it if you like killfests. Game 3 I'd say just watch highlights.
Echo Fox/P1 is probably just highlights, but the highlights were nuts.

gonna wait for a couple weeks and people to play each other before yelling it from the rooftops, but as of right now, this.

also I think today has made it pretty clear that santorin is indeed a 9.5
