Looks like the EU main event scene is shaping up nicely, with Fnatic and UoL as the faces and SK and Elements as the heels.

Yeah, Elements doesn't seem like assholes, maybe some ego issues here and there. But they definitely work heel.

And then SK went to Worlds and literally drew cheap heat against the hometown crowd.

Keith was 15/2/23 across 2 games. Piglet is 3/5/7 across 3. Altec earned more fantasy points for this loss than Piglet did for his win. :newlol:

There's a huge difference between playing well and playing in a way that gets you fantasy points, though. Gambit played two miserable games this week, but because they were both really LONG miserable games with lots of sloppy back and forth kills, their members posted between 50 and 75 points for the week.

Yeah. Kerp was not an unstoppable mastermind last split, he just played on and against teams that didn't know how to close out games other than to have a fifth sloppy teamfight over nothing.

Korean teams pick up players just to practice against a whole lot. KaKao was originally someone who was picked up just to duplicate CloudTemplar's playstyle in Season 2 so KT Bullets could practice against it.

So are you saying Kakao has a backstory where he was raised as a clone, but he ultimately broke free because he wanted a real life? I thought I was already at peak levels of loving Kakao when he made his shonen-hero-assed vow to destroy the SKT organization.

Is it just me or is it that the teams that have the most fun together are generally doing the best? Especially in the NA LCS where TSM and CLG are just having a party and happen to be at the top of the standings.

This was an argument the casters were making back during C9's monster seasons, and folks in the thread felt it was pretty goofy and reductive at the time.

Friendships are one way to make things work out, yeah, but not the only way. Look at Moscow 5 in their prime - a great team filled with players who weren't really friends.

Reminder that they innovated blue buff solo Urgot plus roaming Alistar, an amazing and unique strategy, because Eddie was sick of Genja's poo poo that day and didn't want to lane with him.

Cloud 9 has discovered a style of play that would give MonteCristo a 12 inch boner. They are so methodical that no one on either team ever dies and eventually Cloud 9 wins.

Somehow I'm enjoying it - but maybe that's just because I'm doing something else right now and can tab over whenever the casters let me know that something big is happening.
