I guess I'm gonna start watching Pro League again since Worlds should probably be entertaining even though I havemt touched the game outside of ARAMS in like months.

What's the meta like, y'all?

Oh yeah the timing is garbage but that all being said that game wouldnt have snowballed NEARLY as aggressively as it did with galio

Even if it isn't working out for them, I appreciate the fact that LYN's trying to throw C9 off their game with these odd plays. They know they're not going to win playing standard, at the least.

Not too sure about this ONE comp. They're putting all of their DPS eggs in the Varus basket against one of the most aggressive botlanes you can pick and one of the strongest early ganking junglers in the meta. If Absolut doesn't crush it, I don't think ONE has a way back in.

Giving up Xayah and Rakan both seems like one of the dumbest moves you can make and I don't think Varus+Lulu stands a chance.

wrt Group D: TSM is the best of a group that might be kinda shite. WE isn't great but they'll probably manage to beat Flash Wolves just because FW have a really bad habit of dragging out games, imo. Misfits are loving garbage and can't close a game so they're decidedly worse.

anyway I'm Svensational on that chart.

Tonight's hot takes before I forget and/or inevitably pass out during the games:

Game 1: Flash Wolves do something crazy early-game, throw off TSM's entire rhythm, and manage to pull a game off the so-called 'Best In The West'.

Game 2: WE takes easy because Misfits think they can leave Cho'Gath open. They are proven extremely wrong.

Game 3: Goes 60 minutes despite the best efforts of Immortals to close out early, Fnatic throws at Baron.

Game 4: My heart says GAM can throw off Longzhu just long enough they gently caress everything up but a critical overstep by them causes Longzhu to take three inhibs and then the game is effectively over. I want to believe.

Game 5: C9 and AHQ fight to determine which of them can avoid choking the hardest. Somehow it's C9.

Game 6: Faker stomps on Scout's face for 35 minutes.

Redo Worlds with Ardent Censer disabled please.

worlds patch censer is super hilariously toxic but if it was disabled people would just go back to being super boring and picking thresh/ali/karma/maybe braum in addition to rakan still being banned every game anyway so
