Well Afreeca are playing jungle Lulu in game 5 of a Worlds qualifier so LCK is more than capable of bringing the comedy by itself.

I don't think it is a coincidence that TSM lost the one game Sven didn't get Gragas. He has an insanely limited champ pool, and I don't understand why teams don't punish it more. Like, what happens when Dig takes Gragas instead of Nunu in game 2?

Sven can maybe still play Elise but she's much worse than Gragas for sure.

Very cool! njsykora posted:Well Afreeca are playing jungle Lulu in game 5 of a Worlds qualifier so LCK is more than capable of bringing the comedy by itself. It was also great seeing Sion in game 4. When's the last time he showed up in pro-play? This new thread title

njsykora posted:Smithy does Starcraft commentary as well. Dude does very well to keep from putting everything on a single game. OGN won't lose League though, putting everything on SpoTV seems like a good way to destroy viewership in one of your biggest regions because no-one likes SpoTV. Like it's no coincidence that SpoTV doesn't get any playoff games and never does finals because I think OGN are still putting up the money for the staging of the finals. yeah like for all of the "riot is definitely gonna turn things over to spotv immediately" the fact that they aren't doing any playoffs at all suggests to me that its not nearly a done deal

Oh ya I totally forgot that happened at msi. Also OGN has the best casters imo. Papa has the deepest knowledge and best game analysis along with Deficio since Monte left. Atlus and Achillios are also my favorite play by play casters. Quickshot + Deficio is also pretty enjoyable even with absolute clownfiestas.

Quickshot might not be the best play-by-play caster out there, but he's probably the best hype man in pro League right now, and what Deficio lacks in game knowledge compared to PapaSmithy he makes up for with his entertaining banter and barely concealed disdain for some of the EU LCS players. Special mention to Froskurinn, too, who's overcome some of the weaknesses she's had as a caster in the past and is really one of the top casters out there right now. Really hoping we see more of them at Worlds and less of Phreak.

froskurrin became a much worse caster when the biggest criticism she took to heart was "don't ever say anything positive about lpl teams" she spent like a year straight just being super wishy washy and unable to praise anything any team did.

My favorite thing about Deficio is his mounting frustrations against EU teams when they don't do anything for 50 minutes. It reminds me of Deman a little.

I think it was last week's games where someone had an absolute fart of a gank mid and he muttered this faintly audible, "Jesus Christ," on stream. Him, Quickshot, Sjokz, and Drakos are about the only reasons I watch the EU LCS.

Reminder that the Jungle Lulu game was the most entertaining game of league I've seen with yonks, hilarious that a joke flex queue strategy being played by the pros is actually good enough to work like that

And you just know that they wanted to keep that in their back pocket for the later bits of the gauntlet, and then they had to whip it out immediately

There's a lot of posts on TL Mickey telling people to go die and flaming in solo queue, so I can't wait for another implosion involving Piglet, Dardoch, and a Korean mid-laner.

RealFoxy posted:Read the OP! There's no more Wildcard Tournament, instead all of the Wildcard Regions are lumped in with the Third Seeds from four of the five major regions to determine who goes to group stages So the third seeds and wild cards fight it out at the start of worlds in like a last minute gauntlet?

ArbitraryC posted:So the third seeds and wild cards fight it out at the start of worlds in like a last minute gauntlet? Korea's 3rd seed still gets a bye into the Group Stages because since the modern era (Season 3) there's only been one Korean team that didn't make it out of group stages and it was because Samsung Ozone were loving around and gave up dumb games to teams they could have beaten (The same Samsung team that win on to win Season 4, more or less) In essence it's the same Wildcard tournament that would have determined the two that went on to group stages before, but they're making the major region's third seeds fight to stay in. There's been a whole lot of third seeds sneaking into World's winning only one or two games. RealFoxy fucked around with this message at 07:29 on Aug 29, 2017 |

There's probably half a dozen players at most who have played as many or more games in NALCS as Bjerg, include things like playoffs and representing an NA team internationally and it's probably just Darshan, Sneaky, and maybe Aphro and Doublelift who've played more.
