I hope c9 makes it to worlds still out of the gauntlet so the first time they win a game there and get praise we can get a long string of angry posts about it.

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.

FNC got as good of a group they could hope for as a 3rd pool. TSM should be able to advance if they don't gently caress up too badly. Rest of LCS region teams probably hosed.

rabidsquid posted:fnatic, while making it out, looked like garbage and got super lucky that they were with two other teams who managed to look just as bad and got to play all of the rest of the games in one night. I really don't see why they stick to this group per day format instead of doing it like week 1.

Speaks to the lack of quality of play outside of like the very top teams that a team can look as bad as fnc did while making it to top 8 in the world championship tournament.

Now he's a memelord streaming for them ~~~~~sick views~~~~~ and making highlight videos that are 90% clickbait. If you watch a bunch of his old-rear end poo poo it's kind of weird how different it is from how he does poo poo now. I loved his educational stuff. Too bad being a memelord is probably more viewerbp donations for less effort.

Frustrated posted:Not that Liquid was gonna qualify for top 4, but that Fnatic win just about seals a TL 5/6 finish right? Only real hope TL has is to win out and probably hope evos steals a game off of rng or evos.

TL has a good shot to at least get a tiebreaker match now if evos can scrape out another win tomorrow.

Rng gets greedy and goes for the dumbest fight to try finishing faster and lets what should have been a sure win even up.

Yeah KZ had side selection on even games, I remember the desk being kind of stunned that KZ didn't take blue in game 4 to first pick away an ADC from Uzi.

I've only watched like 3 games all season but here's my blind faith in NA pulling a couple upset picks except in group D because Fnatic doing great until they have to play a korean team is inevitable.

If TL can step up and get in over edg, bracket stage might just be 2 each from each non-tw major region. 3 cn 2 kr 2 EU 1 NA is looking the most likely though

Ulio posted:I wouldn't count c9 out yet. LMS has shown they are decent this year so looking shaky vs them shouldn't make c9 terrible. C9's playstyle just makes it possible for them to beat anyone but Griffin should still be favs. c9 has always been like that wildcard that could just as easily totally collapse or overachieve by a full series

I know a lot of teams seem to be trying the whole AP botlane thing, but if you're gonna run the marksman too anyway why not just have the cass mid trist bot and play more standard? C9 also really loving eager to push fights despite a comp that seemed more late-game oriented.

Maguoob posted:Mages in bot are looking like a trap pick. From what little I've seen if feel like that if you take a mage or non-marksman bot it needs to be one that can bully the adc and really win the early game matchup. Putting a late-game scaling mage like Cass in a spot where she gets less gold than she would mid seems like a real bad move.

Having played most of his career midlane also makes Perkz a lot more suited to those characters than a career botlaner doing it.

Jerkface posted:The EU servers combined have 3x many players as NA. Thats disingenuous to say that those regions have produced talent, they are playing with other EU countries. Part of the issue is that the ranked ladder in NA is specifically NOT good at developing talent. Yeah I don't see how any of it's a solvable issue without some sort of push to really a new resurgence in players in what's a relatively old game now. I don't think ping issues are really fixable either beyond the US itself installing better internet infrastructure with how spread out it is. Chicago is about as centralized as you can essentially get and doing an USW/E split would make the servers way too small at the high end.

TL should just root for SN to win here to save them the disgrace of horribly throwing a tiebreaker game like they are destined to do if it comes down to that.
