 Welcome to the Professional League of Legends Thread for Season 6 (2016) If you are looking for the main League of Legends thread, please go here. This thread is strictly for discussion of the competitive game and shifts to resemble a game-day thread from the sports forum when live competitions are underway. If you don't know what League of Legends is at this point, I don't know what to tell you, but it is a MOBA and as of this writing the most popular PC Game in the world, with a market share equal to the next four most popular games combined. A game this popular attracts an enormous quantity of high quality players and the very best of them compete professionally for our entertainment.

The Teams and their Rosters as of the Beginning of the 2016 Spring Split: (All players are listed in the positional order of TOP // JUNGLE // MID // AD CARRY // SUPPORT) North American League Championship Series (NA LCS):    Cloud 9 Balls // Rush // Jensen (aka Incarnation) // Sneaky // Hai & Bunny FuFuu One of the historically most successful NA LCS teams, Cloud 9 struggled mightily in the latter half of 2015 and then put together a miracle run to qualify for Worlds, even taking a few games in group stages before bowing out. They've added to that roster Rush, who was the NA LCS MVP and is one of the best junglers in the world. The major question around the roster is will it be able to perform consistently this year like it used to, and how will Hai and Bunny Fufuu share time in the support role. The most important factor on the team is Hai's shotcalling, how he calls the shots, which shots are called by him when, how he shotcalls all of his other teammates movements all over the map, how he shotcalls the enemies cooldowns to make them down even when they are up. Crank this up to a respectable volume and watch Hai call the... rabidsquid posted:If you played the "Hai's shotcalling" drinking game you would die.  Counter Logic Gaming Darshan (aka ZionSpartan) // Xmithie // HuHi // Stixxay // Aphromoo Making major changes after winning the 2015 NA LCS but falling in groups at worlds, CLG has parted ways with long time ADC player Doublelift and additionally with mid laner Pobelter. They will go into 2016 with HuHi and Stixxay in those roles, neither of whom have extensive top flight experience, but both appear to have a lot of potential. Stixxay in particular had one of the craziest pentakills I've ever seen on Aphromoo's stream.  Dignitas BillyBoss & Perpetual underachievers, Dignitas got rid of the two Koreans on their lineup and imported two Europeans and the fairly consistent Apollo to play along side Shiphtur and Kiwikid who are decisively less consistent. Known mostly for gracing us with Imaqtpie and brutally throwing games at the baron pit for the last several years, it remains to be seen if this current iteration of the Dignitas roster has any chance of placing higher than middle of the pack.  Echo Fox kfo & Solo // Hard & Grigne // Froggen & Goldenglue // KEITH (aka KEITHMCBRIEF) & LOD // BIG (aka Baby) & Stunt A brand new team put together by former NBA player Rich Fox, Team Echo Fox acquired both Froggen and Keith who are well known for their quality performances. Unfortunately, the rest of the roster does not have extensive experience at the top flight, kfo in particular is a total rookie to competitive and it remains to be seen how this roster will come together and how it will fare in the much deeper NA LCS.  Immortals Huni // Reignover // Pobelter // WildTurtle // Adrian A brand new team with a lot of money who opened up the check book to make big signings all offseason. Bringing together the Korean duo Huni and Reignover who were part of the undefeated EU LCS Fnatic team alongside experienced NA LCS players Pobelter, WildTurtle, and Adrian. The biggest question around this team is how good can they be? On paper they look like juggernauts, but past super-teams have had some growing pains. Of particular interest is whether or not WildTurtle can return to the form he was first known for after mighty struggles in the last few splits and if Pobelter can play big in crucial games and make CLG regret dropping him.  Impulse Feng & Seraph // Procxin & beibei // Pirean & Gate // Mash (aka DontMashMe) // Gate & Ken A team of mostly unknown quantities scrounged up at the last minute when an effort to sell the team fell through, expectations are rock bottom for this squad. Procxin had some experience in the old OGN Korean league on teams like MKZ and Xenics. Mash is a known and not particular quality component, and Gate was a mid laner who has almost no competitive experience as a support. The other two players are totally unknown rookies. Most people expect them to finish near the bottom of the standings, but if the unknown quantities turn out to be truly excellent players they might be able to compete.  Liquid Lourlo & zig // Dardoch & Liquid squandered an excellent 2015 Summer Season and failed to qualify for worlds, famously resulting in Piglet crying yet again and Liquid being discovered on Mars before Worlds. The depressing end-note of that story resulted in the dismissal of long time support player Xpecial, and revered top laner Quas had some kind of mental breakdown and retired from competitive leaving Liquid scrambling to find a replacement. Smoothie was not a particularly dominant player before and Lourlo has no experience at the top flight. Additionally, Liquid is fielding an entire 5-man bench with potential for substitutes into the top team. All of this kind of screams neurotic mess that desperately needs a team psychologist. Most people are unsure how to rate this lineup with so many things up in the air, but if the Curse of Curse still lives, you can guaranteed slot them in 4th place.  NRG eSports Impact // Moon // GBM // Altec // KonKwon & Xpecial A brand new team that brings together experienced Korean veterans Impact (of S3 SKT world championship) and GBM (formerly of Jin Air) alongside NA LCS stalwart Altec. The other two parts Moon and KonKown are relatively inexperienced compared to the primary three. The mixture of these components should either yield great success or total failure. Many people rate this team very highly, others not so much, definitely the most polarizing lineup in the NA LCS. Remains to be seen how it will all come together when they take the rift.  Renegades RF Legendary & Flaresz // Crumbzz // Alex Ich // Freeze & OhQ // Hakuho & Remi(lia) A lovable band of outcasts who many wish to succeed but will have to struggle uphill to hang with the much deeper lineups in the top flight. Crumbzz, Alex Ich, and Freeze are all very well known very experienced players, but Crumbzz and Alex Ich both struggled mightily in their most recent top flight form. RF Legendary is panned as a major weakness on this team and it will be on him to try and prop up his teammates and not lose too badly against some of the pure top lane talent in this league. Remilia is an incredible Thresh savant who is continually abused on social media because all people on the internet are horrible monsters.  Team SoloMid Hauntzer // Svenskeren // Bjergsen // Doublelift // YellOwStaR One of the most successful and certainly the most popular team in the NA LCS returns in 2016 with what many consider their strongest roster ever. They have brought in four new players to surround Bjergsen. Hauntzer and Svenskeren were standout players on teams which under-performed last split. Doublelift and YellowStaR are two of the longest tenured pro players in the world, and should need no introduction to anyone familiar with competitive league. All five of these players combined form one of the most experienced and deepest rosters in NA LCS history and anything less than first place for a team like this will surely be a disappointment.  European League Championship Series (EU LCS): Work Friend Keven posted:I was watching the lcs stream and nothing was happening so I just assumed it was eu lcs matches.  Elements Steve // Gilius // Eika // MrRalleZ // sprattel (aka promisQ) A team put together at the last minute because the owner could not sell within the require time frame. This roster is a mismatch of former under-achievers like Steve, MrRallez, and sprattel alongside newcomer Eika and journeyman Gilius who has bounced around many teams. Expectations are pretty low for this roster, and Eika in particular might be a major weakness considering how insanely competitive European Mid Lane play is.  Fnatic Gamsu // Spirit // Febiven // Rekkles // Klajbajk & Returning only Febiven and Rekkles from the team that went undefeated in EU LCS last split and finished top 4 at worlds, many questions exist for this new Fnatic lineup. Gamsu and Noxiak were considered standout players on previously underachieving rosters and it remains to be seen if they can be truly world class. Spirit is considered an exceptional player who carried a really under-performing World Elite team last year and did well on Samsung Blue before that. The sum of these parts will want to be playing for the European championship but will face stiff competition and very little time to gel.  G2 Esports Kikis // Trick // Perkz // Emperor // Hybrid A fairly exciting new lineup with two Korean imports (Trick and Emperor) joining standout players Perkz and Hybrid as well as all-around king of oddball picks Kikis who was the former Unicorns jungler. Expect this team to be unpredictable and deliver some big plays. If they can keep their performance consistent they could find themselves doing well in the table.  Giants Gaming SmittyJ & A team that has somehow hung around despite making some really questionable roster moves over time. Expectations are not high for this iteration of Giants Gaming. Pepi is the player to watch, and he has done excellent work over the last year to keep Giants from floundering; however Adryh and Godfred is one of the most underwhelming bot lane pairings in this league and Atom and Kou are inexperienced and remain to be tested at this level. Very unlikely that this team can contend.  H2k-Gaming Odoamne // Jankos // Ryu & SELFIE // FORG1VEN(GRE) // Vander A roster that looked dead in the water when numerous players left in November after a disappointing worlds showing where they were brutalized in the SKT/EDG group. H2k somehow reforged and acquired Jankos and Vander who were the standout Jungle/Support combo who had carried ROCCAT's lineup for a long time, and journeyman killing machine Forgiven who had previously been squandered on many teams that were not performing anywhere near his peak level. This new roster boasts an incredible amount of experience and skill, play-making in every position, and should be considered a heavyweight contender to win the split.  Origen sOAZ // Amazing // PowerOfEvil & xPeke // Zven (aka Niels) // Mithy Origen was perhaps the biggest surprise of 2015 in terms of performing extremely well fresh out of their challenger run, and going all the way to the Round of 4 in worlds when very few if any people had pegged them to get out of a very competitive group of death. Since then, xPeke has stated that he will be a deep sub and mostly a team advisor, with former Unicorns standout PowerOfEvil taking over the main mid-lane role. There's no question that this team has the power to dominate foes, the main issues going forward are consistency, motivation, and the team having to do everything in their power to make sure that sOAZ doesn't have to play Shen or doesn't get camped by the enemy jungler because both of these things are known to make him visibly hang his head and whine on camera.  ROCCAT fredy122 // Airwaks // Betsy // Tabzz & Safir (aka Jebus) // Noxiak & extinkt & Their entire previous roster ditched the organization and left them scrambling to put the pieces back together. What they came up with was a group of journeymen from previously under-performing teams and one newcomer (Safir/Jebus). The other four players all have extensive competitive experience, and have at one point or another all been good players, but by and large they were collectively underwhelming last year. If this group of underwhelming players can form up to be something better than where they all came from, perhaps this roster can shine.  Splyce Wunderwear // Trashy // Sencux // Kobbe // Nisbeth An entirely Danish team in an era where most of the European lineups no longer run on pure nationality, that's about the only interesting fact for what should be a team which will have some mighty struggles to play at this level. Most well known on their roster are Trashy and Nisbeth who have previously suffered in trying to compete in the top flight in less competitive LCS seasons, the roster is rounded out by three newcomers from the challenger series. All five of these players have their work cut out for them to try and make it in the EU LCS.  Unicorns Of Love Vizicsacsi // Returning only two players from the previous team that finished 4th in Europe last year, Unicorns reconfigured their entire middle lineup by adding the formerly great Diamondprox, as well as Fox who is known for high-risk plays that sometimes payoff, and Steeelback who is best known for running 0.28 AD Blue Glyphs against a full AP team featuring Marin and Faker on explosive mages. If Diamondprox can return to his former greatness, Fox can add some consistency to his playmaking, and Steeelback can just not do whatever he was thinking of doing just now, this team might be able to contend for the top table.  Vitality Cabochard // Shook // Nukeduck // Hjarnan // kaSing A brand new team featuring the former H2K bot lane, as well as play-making savants Cabochard, Shook, and Nukeduck. The primary question for this team going forward is who is going to step-back and play the non-focused utility/tank role? This might be a case of too many carry players in one place, and it's not clear that any of the top 3 of the lineup can play well without the focus on them. If they can find a style that suits them, they certainly have the raw talent to be very successful. Lovechop posted:SHOOK OWNS QUOTE THIS POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Champions Korea (LCK):  Afreeca Freecs ikssu // lira & Seonghwan // Mickey & Lindarang // Sangyoon // SnowFlower Previously known as Rebels Anarchy, they have unfortunately changed their name to Afreeca Freecs and have a logo that looks like a magazine ad for a CD store from 1996. Yet they remain an exciting up-and-coming team who may find the form and consistency they need to contend this split, especially with many previously more experienced teams dissolving. Mickey was their standout player last split and he is an absolutely explosive player who dominates many match-ups and has not shown fear even against SKT mid-laners. Sangyoon and SnowFlower are one of my more favorite competitive bot lanes to watch and they coordinate plays very well together. This team is definitely worth watching despite their appalling name.  CJ Entus Shy & Untara // Bubbling // Sky & Bdd // Kramer & Ghost // MadLife Shedding almost all of their previously tenured players including substitutes they had been cultivating for future main roles, CJ Entus decided to import Kramer from the Flash Wolves, keep long-time fan favorites Shy and MadLife who many would argue have declined severely since their prime days, and fill the rest of their roster with many untested new players. This particular mix does not look very compelling, and CJ Entus could very well struggle in the LCK this season.  Jin Air Green Wings TrAce & SoHwan // Winged // Kuzan & Blanc // Pilot // Chei & Sweet A really questionable off-season for the Green Wings. They shed previous stalwart players like Chaser, Cpt Jack and GBM in favor of several new faces and the return pairing of Chei and Pilot. Perhaps they, like CJ, felt the team they had was going nowhere and needed a shake-up, but it seems to me at least like they got rid of some of the more reliable parts in favor of some of the riskier parts. Whether or not they can weave it all together in time to contend this split is uncertain. Counterpoint: rabidsquid posted:Allow me to take a moment to talk poo poo on everyone who talked poo poo on JAG for letting Captain Jack and GBM go.  Kongdoo Monster Hipo // Crush // Edge & Roach // SSol // GuGer They lost their title sponsor Najin, shed their entire previous roster which had a great deal of experience and potential, and it was unclear up until the very last day of roster deadline if they would even field a team. What they compiled is a fresh and totally raw team with very little experience except for journeyman GuGer and Edge who had previously served as a sometimes sub for KT. What this roster can do is really anyone's guess, but they are very lacking in immediate experience. In the middle of Spring Split 2016, e-mFire's entire roster was consumed by the Kongdoo Monster who maintains the organization to this day out of the benevolence of his heart when he's not busy filming fetish porn. Lovechop posted:i loved his video with asa akira  KT Rolster Ssumday // Score // Fly // Arrow // Hachani & Unique among Asian teams, KT is running an extremely tight roster this split with only one total substitute. The added Fly and Ignar who have both played in several regions for numerous teams, while keeping the core roster of Ssumday, Score, and Arrow in tact. Hachani rejoined as well while widely heralded support player Piccaboo departed for seemingly nowhere. Many of their previous subs and depth players departed for other opportunities. KT at their core has the experience to contend and finished second in 2015 Summer as well as qualifying for worlds and placing well before being dropped by the Tigers. Both the Tigers and SKT have made some roster changes as well so you have to think that KT wants to try and climb out of that 3rd place spot, but it will not be easy.  Longzhu Gaming Flame & Expession // Chaser & Crash // CoCo & Frozen // Cpt Jack // Pure & Zzus In my mind, the big winner of the Korean off-season, Longzhu (aka Incredible Miracle / IM), added numerous talented pieces that were shed from other teams. Flame returns from his brief stay in LGD's prison, potentially to rot in LZ's prison instead, somehow behind Expession. Many other experienced players like Chaser/Cpt Jack, Coco, and Pure joined from Jin Air, CJ, and Najin. This roster on paper has the talent to compete for mid/high table in the LCK and it may be the best showing from LZ/IM in a long time.  ROX Tigers Smeb // Peanut // Kuro & Sylph // PraY // GorillA Somehow on their fourth sponsor in less than a year after previously being known as KOO Tigers, GE Tigers, and HUYA Tigers, the now ROX Tigers kept most of their team in tact from their Worlds Roster which finished runner-up only to the eventual champion SKT. Jungle was identified as an issue for this team and they shed their previous players from that role and acquired up-and-coming Peanut from Najin's disbanded roster. Sylph was added as well for depth because of some consistency issues in Kuro's play. The rest of the roster is fairly rock solid and Smeb, Pray and Gorilla should be just as strong this year as they were last.  Samsung Galaxy CuVee & Helper // Ambition // Crown // CoreJJ & Stitch // Wraith Huge roster turmoil has left very few returning players on the Samsung lineup. Only Cuvee, Crown, and Wraith remain from last year. The rest of the roster has been padded out with discarded parts from CJ and Dignitas. That doesn't sound particularly exciting or compelling to me, but maybe a change of scenery will do players like Helper, Ambition, and CoreJJ well. I don't rate this team particularly high, but they certainly aren't the only one entering the season with a lot of question marks.  SBENU Sonicboom Soul & SoaR // Flawless // SaSin // Nuclear // Secret SBENU was soundly abused in Champions Summer, going 1-17. They held on to their spot in qualifiers by beating EVER who ended up being the biggest surprise of the competitive off-season by winning Kespa Cup and IEM Cologne against very solid competition. So which SBENU shows up in 2016? The one that couldn't close but a single series in Summer? Or the team that was able to beat one of the hottest teams of Winter? This team has a lot of potential, and their games are not nearly as bad as their record. Hopefully some of that potential can be realized and they can advance up the competitive table this Spring.  SK Telecom T1 Duke // Bengi & Blank // Faker & They are now the two-time world champions, the most dominant team in competitive League history, and feature the most revered player in the world in Faker. The rest of their roster is a known quantity to anyone who has been paying attention and it all deserves respect. Of note is new addition Duke who was an excellent player for Najin last split, he joins to replace Marin who has departed to play for LGD. Easyhoon has also departed from the championship team, preferring a starting role on another team. Scout has moved up the depth chart to number two and may spell Faker for some matches against lesser opponents. The same can be said for new addition Blank, who replaces previous backup jungler Tom who also departed. Everyone expects this team to be extremely dominant, and the go-ahead favorite to both win the LCK and win Worlds 2016 unless something drastic happens. Even with multiple departures this roster is still a juggernaut. Chinese LoL Pro League (LPL): (Team Summaries provided by rabidsquid, and Hyper Youth Gaming by Wol, with some additions by Libertine)  Edward Gaming Koro1 & Mouse // Clearlove & Fireloli // PawN & Athena & Scout // Deft & rq // Meiko EDG has no coach at the moment and no in-game direction without Clearlove, who may be on the run from the law or starting up a wine bar.  Energy Pacemaker All GimGoon & Star // Rabbit97 & crisis & Amel // Republic & EShen // Romantic // JieZou EPA is actually somewhat okay, they look way better with their LPL jungler Crisis who has some aggressive gank routes but is also somewhat stupid. Romantic is a disaster at ADC and this team essentially cannot team fight because of how bad he is.  Hyper Youth Gaming 17 // march // gosu & JoJo // XQ // x1u May be the worst team in LPL. Like yeah M3 loving suck but the couple games of HYG I've watched so far they look real dismal. Kid on Elise tried to feed them but they were so bad they couldn't even take advantage of his wild floundering on a champion he's transparently uncomfortable on.  Invictus Gaming Zz1tai // Kid // Rookie // Time & Rain // Kitties & mo Kid is actually doing okay in the jungle because of all of the jungle marksmen. He's probably better there than at ADC. Rookie is still carrying extremely hard. KaKao is hanging out on POP187 now.  LGD Gaming Marin & Acorn & Jinoo // Eimy & xiaoxi & Yu // We1less (aka PainEvil and also aka GodV) // imp // Pyl This team looks fairly lost. They hasn't acclimated to the new roster and Pyl and Eimy have yet to develop synergy. Marin got absolutely dunked on by QG's V.  Masters 3 XY // yolo & Scenery // Raphael // qPqTq // Savoki & Lovecd The other contender for worst team in the LPL at the moment. Their top laner XY has no champion pool and is basically being relegated to beefy tanks, can't win lane or team fight. Yolo runs around like a chicken with his head cut off, there is no mid lane or jungle control. Raphael is a Lulu one trick pony. PentaQ has a decent Ezreal and he lanes okay with Savoki.  Oh My God Dark & xiyang // FishBall & TBQ // Cool // SmLz & bei // 5 & Luo They are a mess. Cool missed a game already because, I poo poo you not, I am pretty sure he was too drunk to play. They're playing TBQ over their promising new jungler Fishball, who had interesting ganking routes and was looking really strong with the team. ADC Bei is supposed to be some hot poo poo rookie and he's absolutely the best player on the team right now. They need to play Fishball though.  Qiao Gu "Chuggo" Reapers V & Alone // Swift // Doinb & BoriSal & dade // Peco (aka TnT) & Uzi // Mor (aka TcT) This team is loving on point. The old roster is still together, the rumors are that Dade was just picked up for the as of yet unseen (for us in the West anyway) reserve league. Uzi is apparently being held back until he can "mesh with the team." gently caress Uzi, Peco (formerly TnT) is playing really well right now and Swift is essentially carrying every single game. V has actually been solo killing people and has worked with Swift to have total jungle control in every game. V looks seriously good right now and has been racking up solo kills, but more importantly he's exerting a huge amount of map control. Killed By Death posted:Quickshot just pronounced QG's name as "Chuggo Reapers"  Royal Never Give Up Looper & LetMe // Mlxg & inSec // xiaohu & Sask // wuxx & NaMei // Mata & LeY RNG had an unexpected renaissance. Anyone who watched Looper last season would tell you he was completely washed up, and there have been rumblings about Mata's attitude ever since he went to China. mlxg was known for being overly aggressive and throwing away early leads. Speculation is that Mata is micro managing Looper who is more or less the same dude you knew from Samsung again miraculously, mlxg is keeping his aggression almost in check, and Wuxx is an adequate dude who is laning well with Mata. So far xaiohu has been a pleasant surprise.  Snake eSports Flandre // ZZR & T0M // TANK & U // Martin & kRYST4L // Ella & Jia Snake eSports needs to get their poo poo together. This team was previously known for their tight team fighting and sound macro play, and they're playing really sloppy. Krystal is apparently locked in a dungeon somewhere, but Martin has been all right. Flandre got solo killed by Gimgoon but has otherwise been his usual carry but also sort of a dumbass self like the other night he was playing around with Lissandra claw during a game instead of rotating or doing anything useful. U has been sent to the same dungeon as Krystal, and TANK has looked a little overmatched during games. His display name is SSTANK so I think of him as Stank.  Vici Gaming Loong // DanDy // Easyhoon & Punished // Endless & Vasilii // Duan DanDy is acclimating well to the jungle again and Loong is showing potential in the top lane. So far in LPL play, Easyhoon has not been able to dominate and post the same kind of insane KDA games he was known for in SKT.  World Elite Aluka & 957 // Condi & WuShuang // xiye & mrsj // Mystic // Conan & Zero Condi and Mystic have had some impressive early season games. Zero is the same player from S4 World Championship runner-up Star Horn Royal Club. Not sure what the ceiling is for this roster though. Other Regions: * Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao (LMS) * Brazil (CBLOL) * Japan (LJL) * Latin America North (LAN) * Latin America South (LAS) * Oceania (OPL) * Russia & Commonwealth of Independent States (LCL) * Turkey (TCL) I won't be doing overviews of these regions because they tend to not get a lot of traction in this thread or in most discussion spaces when compared to the four primary leagues. Of all of these, the Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao League Master Series (LMS) sends two teams to worlds and they generally place in the top half. Competitive-wise they have a better international record than NA LCS for example; however, the league is not very popular with Western audiences. The other wild card leagues are much less popular and competitive than the primary leagues. I will link to their eSportspedia pages for reference, and if anyone wishes to do a full write-up on any of them I will gladly attach it as an addendum.

Bit nitpicky maybe, but Southeast Asia isn't LMS - LMS is Taiwan/Hong Kong and feeds directly into the World Championship, while Southeast Asia is a wildcard region that includes Thailand, Vietnam and friends.

Wol posted:Ladies' Star Legendary 2015 Finals are underway! It's New Type Gaming, defending champs from the last Chinese female tournament Longzhu Gaming Queen 2015, taking on fellow playoff mainstays Love Laughing Girls. Well, after a disgusting stomp of a Game 1 and a fairly even Game 2 until the teamfighting phase where they could do no wrong, NTG have taken it handily over LLG! As a side note, NTG takes home ¥ 150,000 for this win out of a ¥ 300,000 prize pool, almost double the ¥ 77,000 they won out of Gaming Queen 2015's ¥ 131,000 prize pool. In comparison, Energy Pacemaker made ¥ 200,000 out of a ¥ 420,000 prize pool for winning 2015 LSPL Summer. While they could still do better, It's good to see a bit more money being put into the women's scene. Would be great to see it grow, start expanding options and increasing viability for women who want to compete.

Schnorkles posted:Posting on the first page that I hope cloud 9 get relegated and Rush leaves and joins a fun and cool team with his new found freedom. He joins Dig and forms the core of a resurgent roster. Anyone have some highlight games of Snowflower's Bard to watch? I feel like his first LCK game this season wasn't really that exciting...

Wol posted:Bit nitpicky maybe, but Southeast Asia isn't LMS - LMS is Taiwan/Hong Kong and feeds directly into the World Championship, while Southeast Asia is a wildcard region that includes Thailand, Vietnam and friends. I fixed this. For some reason I thought it was still colloquially referred to as SEA region but I'm wrong. I've already fixed like 15 typos from the original OP after about 5 proof-reads, so I appreciate the catch. If anyone else notices anything incorrect let me know.

foutre posted:Anyone have some highlight games of Snowflower's Bard to watch? I feel like his first LCK game this season wasn't really that exciting... This was another mistake. I was thinking of EVER's Key who had Bard banned against him in six of his last eight games at IEM X Cologne. This is why he had Bard banned against him 75% of the time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LK1yBqcdWdw It's really a shame that EVER didn't just get auto-promoted to LCK after Kespa and IEM. They are a much more compelling team than some of the rebuilt Korean rosters. I also still stand by the Sangyoon/SnowFlower pairing, they have excellent play-making and I do actually really enjoy watching their combo kills. Just not on Bard apparently (mostly Thresh).
