He's not a terrible LB but I never see Fenix run away with the pick and she's such a low-farm champion that feels like a waste on him.

Piglet is totally hosed over because bot lane meta is just baby bitch utility carries right now. They should have just said gently caress it and put him on hard carrying late game poo poo every single game. His Twitch game was beautiful.

It also didnt help that the game they decided to ban Sivir so Piglet could go off, Froggen's Vlad made TLA commit to 3 mid bans for the rest of the series.

Piglet is going back to Korea, rumors say he got kicked from TLA too and won't return next split

Not that he couldn't be done with NA but rumors are just that, to our knowledge he was never kicked from the main team to begin with, and visiting home after a split isn't new.

Um did you forget about the parts where Dardoach openly talked about getting banned from TL for fighting with Piglet, TL bringing him back in, and then Piglet leaving because he hated Dardoch?

I've literally never seen that. Every interview I've seen talks about how it was Dardoch and Piglet's combined egos clashing against Loco's that was a problem, combined with how the stress of Liquids "always come up short" record is weighing on Piglet.

so the new Wixoss takes place several years later in Ikebukuro. The premise was revealed at an event—no wishes to fight for this time around. Instead, Selectors put their memories up for wager when they start a battle. If you lose the battle, you lose your memories. The victor is able to give the loser new memories to replace them. "Hashimoto Chinami, the cutie voicing one of the MC's, Homura Suzuko, mentioned a situation where a boy who beats a girl can change her memories to believe that they're dating." and from the sounds of that, the boys we see in the preview must indeed be Selectors themselves. gasp.

It wasn't revealed how the new LRIGs figure into the story, but the flashback part of the PV focuses on the deuteragonists' keychains, which share an uncanny resemblance with the LRIGs we see later.


anyways holy poo poo she's back! the cutest Kiyoi! ahhh

Every game the casters mention how well SKT is doing at defending, but it's useless because KT has been so fantastic at playing the long game and bleeding them dry of summoners every time Duke wants to check the bush or something.

Why wouldn't you put your world class midlaner on a utility mage while you have your heavy rear end jungler on Hecarim??? :confused:

blank's not bad, it just doesnt seem like they were actually prepared to play hecarim jungle whatsoever, like they forgot how to give their jungler gold once kindred fell out of meta.

Psst

Maybe they could have had him play something else if his champion pool didn't suck

yeah because professional korean jungling is all about personal champ pools and not strict adherence to the meta, right? and he was 3-0 this summer on hecarim before today—I just didn't like how low-econ he starts on hecarim and that they took fights while he was sitting on triforce components and half his jungle item

yeah, he has to test his limits and learn how much poke from a midlaner he can take in a fight while still being able to live and put out his damage. this is huge for any good ADC. for example, in the fight that ends the C9 v TSM game, Doublelift Es forward, gets massively chunked by Taliyah and Jhin, and the entire back half of the fight is based on his insane kiting after that.

now that said, my favorite moment in the game was when Double+Bio ult behind SKT's top tier 2 and Double pops right out of Bio's mouth and into Last Breath.

The Monte is a baby analogy doesn't really work when he worked his butt off to raise a league team. plus Badawi is like the one dude in all of League who gets nuked by Riot for merely the attempt to negotiate poaching, when half the NA LCS owners have done it in the past and gotten away with it or been fined. all year, riot has refused to give Monte anything but the short end of the stick. why would he not be justified in having a bone to pick?

also the duct tape holding Liquid together needs to just get ripped off already. It's too painful to watch anymore.

That would be why Monte enjoys working under OGN and will continue to do so, yes. Thanks for the input.

props to TSM for their year or work and trials leading up to this. they've put on a hell of a show and done better than I've seen from any NA team yet.

too bad people will focus on the loss as a result of false expectations of Asian teams like "oh, it's just Korea's 3rd seed." lmao at everyone who thought SSG wouldn't dominate.

Maybe the guy who decided to just wing with SKT's backs to the wall, during the most intense series of league in possibly ever, is kind of a good player. Maybe we can give some props to God's Right Hand here.
