WTF Curse's gaming house is in Beverly Hills?

Curse making da big monies -_-; with a mansion that size I expected it to be in Arizona or something like what EG did.

AFAIK, Curse's owner is pretty wealthy.

I think doublelift has some sort of switch in his brain when tourneys are on the line when he just says "guys I'mma play vayne. I got this" and goes on to carry. He did the same thing in a korean game a while back (forget who against) where his hauled the rest of CLG onto his vayne-y shoulders and lugged them to victory.

I don't get why people risk to not ban Shen, especially vs CLG. It's so cocky IMO, at least as long as Shen's ultimate remains to be a global one.

You can maybe risk it vs certain EU teams but it is known that CLG either bans or first picks Shen when open just as it is known that they don't care that much about contesting early dragons. It's just one of CLG's signature attitudes.

I'm a huge Saint fanboy and that was so hard to watch. It was bad from the start with his mistake feeding Vayne red, but it just got worse and worse from there. CLG read him perfectly and countered most of his ganks. Hopefully once they get into the gaming house they'll start improving.

I feel like Chauster is the biggest reason CLG succeeds bot lane. I just don't see him have bad games. Like, ever. Then again, I don't want a lot of CLG, so maybe that's a misconception on my part.

It started at IPL4. Doublelift has just started going god mode. I think it was from his time in Korea and playing on Korean ladder with Chauster and scrimming the Korean teams. DL himself says that all of the Korean botlanes are stronger than the NA and EU ones and that they do stuff no one in the west does. It's the reason why I think DL/Chau are probably the strongest AD/support combo right now. Not only are they really solid against any other AD/support combo but they have more experience against the Asian teams than any other AD/support combo in the west. DL has just gotten a fuck ton better, even when CLG loses he usually finishes with a positive score.

And I think saint's performance in both MLG and the GESL is a result of him not practicing as hard as he was when he was on CLG. I think he even said that Curse practices a lot less right now. Should be interesting to see how they do in a gaming house, Nyjacky is still their best player by a lot imo, even with the addition of saint.

edit:
In response to comment above, Doublelift has very very few bad games since IPL4. Even in the Korean The Champions when CLG was getting destroyed DL still did really well. Obviously Chauster is really good at support too but DL has gotten stupidly good at AD carry.

Goshawk.

mtwna who are 0-3 in groups vs tsm who are 3-0 next... Such a dumb format to have 8 teams attending and all 8 going through to the final bracket.

Poor Nyjacky. I bet he must be feeling this is like Solo Q all over again.

It's true, Chauster and Doublelift work great together because chauster does most of the thinking and just lets doublelift focus purely on his mechanics which are godly.

mTw running J4+Leona bot lane with Graves going top lane. Gonna be a funny game. I don't think their kill lane will work against Chaox/Xpecial though.

Yeah, the groups are pretty much entirely pointless in this format.
