Mineski's picks in this series were absolutely garbage.

I have no faith that they can outplay teams anymore; the only good players on that team right now are Mushi and Moon. If they don't win the draft they just lose the game.

Winning DAC might have been the worst thing that could have happened to Mineski because now they have a zero percent chance of doing anything relevant for the rest of the season.


Post-7.00 metas move so quickly, they could be great at the Super Major.

You win some you lose some. You can't win them all

unless you are VP or LGD on streak apparently

Though it does need to be noted that the scene has massively improved in consistency over the last several months. I think the Chinese scene adopting Coach Drafting has really changed the scene, and the response has been great. It's also been really unstable, as well.

So many winners left and right, upsets too all over the town.

TI is gonna be lit since i think LGD/VP so far are the safest bet and they aren't even that safe

This year is great competitively tbh

I just needed to vent.

Mineski looks pretty bad right now, and I hope they use the two months before TI to completely reinvent themselves or they're just gonna scrub out at TI and waste the potential of the best team that SEA has ever had.

Miniski is a wildcard, some times they show up to a tournement and look like a dorminant force like we saw early in the DPC season and at DAC. Otheer times they show up and look average at best

The global level keeps improving and the gap between the best and the rest is smaller and smaller but the patch frequency added a luck factor about who would discover the "rythm" and heroes of the patch first. I hope valve will give the players a stable patch at least a month before TI.

Don't worry my man i'm gonna join in disappointment. I'm already preparing myself for the inevitable Fnatic tilt

And i still think this whole fast patching has been kinda bad, i like fast patches, but just to adjust a little stuff, leave stuff like no gold on towers + new stuff for BIG patches after a season or something.

The meta is changing EVERY. SINGLE. WEEK. and i think it feels much worse

Apparently there was an interview of w33ha saying that everybody kept talking Portuguese and he just pretends he's playing on pubs lol

Anybody catched that ?.Not sure if he's joking or half-true if he really said that

Yeah, subleties are lost when you have to rediscover the basics all the time.

Yeah leave the big changes for longer durations. The hero changes are fine though

I think the plan is only two more patches before the TI qualifiers, then maybe one last patch that will be the (relatively) stable patch until TI.

Surely there's no way Fnatic loses to OG, right?
