Well maybe sending VP into LB will wake them up into playing their own playstyle instead of these trash meta drafts.


Agreed. They should forget all the meta and pocket drafts and just go with their usual virtus plow drafts.

virtus throw :d

Not really a throw in this game, they never were ahead to begin with, just tilted.


3 rage buybacks into 3 diebacks is certainly a throw mate

Can't be a throw if they're never ahead in the first place

You can only throw if you're ahead


OK, if all of VP destroy their items now or walk down mid to suicide, would you say thats a throw? If not, than what is tghe word to describe a stupid move done by a team thats behind? In my books, thats also a throw and it doesnt matter if you are ahead or behind, it means you are throwing away your chance to win.

If you look like that, every dumb or desperate move that doesn't work in the game is a throw, which just doesn't make sense. You can be ahead and threw the game that you had in the bag, if you are ahead and do something stupid instead of playing straight forward, it's a throw. If you are behind, desperate plays to get back into the game are some options to be back in the game, they bought back to try and catch Ame that was pushing tier 3 which would give them a ton of gold, but LGD were really fast to react and all of the VP died. It's not a throw, it's a great response by LGD.

It helps his sponsors and so on to do it in Chinese since he can pick. Unless their sponsors also are western focused then doing it in English could be better if he feels comfortable with it.

Malaysian Chinese generally are generally fluent in mandarin and not English. Those with a good grasp in English tend to come from better backgrounds (exposed to more western stuff) and funnily are bad at mandarin.
