Maybe Azarkon is actually Swindle?

Would explain his offlane play against Newbee.

When swindle flamed ROTK at one point the first thing that came into my mind was azarkon. It's even funny cause azarkon flames ROTK the most.

i'm sure azarkon is just swindlez smurf

I'm actually not sure if I've ever seen Azarkon post while CoL is playing unless it's in the aftermath. But I don't really pay much attention

Swindle doesn't mention "new blood" quite often enough though

Swindlez has a point here but it's being misunderstood.

He is correct in saying that China teams can find the strong picks (that become meta picks) before other regions.
He is also correct in stating that Chinese teams almost never bring out a pocket strat in the middle of a tournament. They typically do not throw out a weird draft with heroes no where close to the meta.

Godz is also correct in saying that it's hard to lump all Chinese teams (or even Western teams) into one category. The old DK was absurdly versatile at drafting (under Lanm only) but teams who will take draft risks like that are very rare (even in the West).

Basically this.

And lol at comparisons to Azarkon, that man has likely not been part of a single coherent argument since he was born. Swindlez actually had a point, he just put it in an easy to misunderstand way.

time to take swindlez off the panel, it's neither funny nor insightful just bashing on GoDz because he didn't get an invite

Most Chinese pocket picks have a tendency of exploding in their faces in the current yearly cycle. (Cty Dark Seer, never forget!)

i don't think cty dark seer was a pocket strat

i think it was a internal disagreement while in the draft and lanm went yolo or the team made a mistake with the DS draft
