No one at my trash ELO or normals will play Irelia except for once in a blue moon.

I just treat him how I treat everyone that isn't Nasus when I play Irelia. Just sit back and farm till you get to 8/9 then start fighting back. Even Shen starts to lose to you.

wut. irelia/gp are the most common top laners. if anything, irelia is overplayed/over picked.

well we don't actually know that this is what happened either. the only time we know for sure is when the dude who left decides to stupidly post everyone online and start a flamewar (elementz, phantomlord, etc). however, anyone who watched hanover knows that regi and oddone are tsms problem right now and during scrims and tourneys trm seems to take all the blame.

Funny because in my games I never ever see a Riven except when I play her, but there's an Irelia in every single match. To be precise, on my last 15 matches, 11 included an Irelia.

Would you pick Gragas over Cassiopeia Morgana Ahri Anivia Galio Karthus Ryze Sion Veigar Xerath Ziggs or Zilean?

Actually trm posted it himself, so unless they forced him to make up a bs story, we know that trm left on his own.

Just the opposite for me, lol.
Then again, I'm stuck in the shitty ELO where everyone calls mid+top as FPs and then feed/get raped in lane. And Riven is total pubstomp from the games I've played.
Just saying from my ELO experience. After watching Hannover, its been confirmde that EU loves Irelia. Probably because they're smart.

It's been said in various sources by TSM players. TRM still gets to live in the house and they're still on apparently friendly terms. If you want to think there is secret hatred then go ahead, but the even rage at each other has been addressed in Regi's Vlog.

Yes? I think he's better than Gragas as a mid, what's the problem?

IMO the counter initiation from Gragas ult is the best form of cc in the game. Its like being able to flash and janna ult, but you don't die, and you don't use flash.

Sure but imo he functions far better as a secondary AP not the primary one(And then I could say that regi can't ulti so that aspect of Gragas is wasted)

Sion is close to worthless in arranged 5s mid-lategame, you just focus him so his shield pops and most of his damage is gone. Rather have gragas. Gragas does tons of damage and his ult can be amazing, much better in teamfights. And as you always say yourself, there's more to the game than the laning phase.

Dyrus playing Poppy against Sypher!
Important: which do TL'ers prefer: the full "Toppy Poppy", just "Toppy", or "Poppytop" (pronounced as poppycock).

What champs are Dyrus proficient at? Meaning his most comfortable picks. Or is he relatively average at all champs and not excellent at any?

Dyrus poppy incoming
Can't wait to see how it fairs in tournament play.

Historically, Singed and Jax. That's his claim to fame.
As of recently... I'm not quite sure.

He's best at Singed and Jax (maybe best in the world at those two). He's also been playing a lot of Vlad lately. But he's got a deeper champ pool than most top laners.

I've noticed that his GP is really good. His Singed is no joke either.
Plus he seems to have a solid Udyr if I recall from WCG.

He is really good with singed/jax/vlad/rumble
and he is the one that started the whole MF bot lane thing
