I just think they know they cant win, and they dont bother trying. They dont actually care about winning tourneys, and therefore never practice, so then they do "troll" games or blame playing badly (dreamhack) to cover for the fact that they just arent all that good when compared to actual teams.

Although they are better than the TL team who didnt give a shit enough to never bother actually show up for games.

CLG members in a tourny setting are usually very blunt. Like they usually do just say "we played like shit" and don't simply blame one another if they lost. (they don't practice so, obviously they're going to play bad) And they often simply play for fun. Even at dreamhack they just told each other "play what you want" and just wanted to have fun with it, because they have trouble vsing practiced teams. And when they aren't having fun while playing they don't see the point in playing, so might as well fuck around when you know you lost lol.

Wow two down lol, beat me to it.

This mindset works and is the best until winning is your job, but by then trying to be the best should be challenging and fun.

But then again, CLG was only the best when all other teams sucked cock lol. Now there are actual decent teams who practice together. They're simply not the best anymore and they know it.

But they got second place, didn't they? And I missed the last two games, but I saw them beat TSM pretty convincingly in the first game they played against them, so... it definitely doesn't seem to me like they think they can't win against a decent team, because they've shown they can.

CLG actually practiced a lot before DreamHack. As in, they were scrimming EU teams every other day or so. Probably not as much as real teams but they still scrimmed quite a bit. The problem with them getting practice is that none of the US teams want to scrim with them. For reasons varying from not wanting CLG to be good again and also because of how CLG refused to scrim with anyone when they were on top for so long (out of fear of people figuring out how to "beat CLG").

I really don't know what goes on with them at tourneys though. They run the craziest and sometimes dumbest shit. Maybe they just don't care or maybe they honestly think the decisions they're making are sound and good. At this point in the game they make a fuck ton of money from coaching, streaming, and the various tournies they win without having to devote as much time as any of the other teams so it wouldn't surprise me if they're fine with how they are right now.

I used to get extremely tryhard normals with all high rated players, then I tanked my normal elo intensive duo queueing for a week with an unskilled friend, now all the players are absolutely terrible. Games are still three times as skilled as 1400 ranked wtf

I don't think it's that they're not that good every time, it's more like that without Hotshot on his main two they're just not good enough to win games because he goes from better than everyone on TSM to below average tourney play. If he got Nidalee/Cho'Gath every time I don't think there's a team that can beat CLG.


Edit: Though the one promising thing for CLG right now is that they seem to have better chemistry past few days. Saint's actually getting along with Hotshot and not just outright trolling him. They just need to find some way to make him grind up a third champ.

Jaden and the other NESL admins have proven themselves unprofessional on many separate occasions (and endorsed Grackis for commentator....sigh).

Also about TwoDown and BlackPaladin's feelings about TL LoL....I wish I could somehow be good enough at this game to justify organizing an official team....hurts me so bad to know we have the talent but not the drive.
Edit: Grats Neo!

Yeah, it's pretty well established that NESL is run by a bunch of full-retards. Arbitrarily changing rules and falsely enforcing them with great bias is only the latest in a long string of offenses.
