XJ9 just 100-0 two people with evolved Q+W on Kha'Zix wtf.

Why is Kha isolation damage so strong T_T

I really like XJ9's playstyle and think it deserves a lot of respect, very few people indeed play in that style so he's quite a pioneer.
Also, I think the 1v2 2v1 lanes are quite natural and fine. I mean what else would you expect when the sides are NOT mirrored? It might even evolve into a completely standard thing, where purple will always send their duo top and blue will always send their duo bot. I don't really see a reason why we would to preserve the lane roles as they are right now.

for the record, we're really good friends with TheGodOne (new nickname for frommaplestreet dubbed by a random twitch.tv chat member, TYVM) and it's always been his intention to play on our team

the korean-symbol support and frommaplestreet were our starting bot lane a few months ago. i unfortunately had to let boxboxbox go because of his erratic schedule. that's when we put prophet in support role and our bot lane got a lot worse. we lost 2 games in a row to curse in ranked 5s and frommaplestreet decided the losses were mostly his fault, so he left the team temporarily to do "intense waterfall training" as he called it. basically he just needed a ton of practice to be competitive, in his eyes

at that point we picked up ecko and that was the roster you saw in the LCS. a short time before the LCS, maple asked if he could rejoin, which we were super happy about, but Riot told me that he couldn't compete with us in LA. it was a little sketchy because they allowed Azure to pick up demunlul, who was at no point on their ranked roster. but i didn't fight it, thought we could get salaried anyway.

after the loss, maple rejoined the team and we picked up jaewon/boxboxbox/theinvisibleman again, now with a more stable schedule. our bot lane is much stronger now as shown by today's performance imo. hopefully we can retain them until april for the second LCS ^_^

also, i've never seen such a lopsided game as g1 ever in competitive play. game 2 was really good and jiji's team closed it out really well. and then game 3 was just super exciting. super good set, i hope tomorrow's matches are as good

Scarra getting caught all day.
God Kha'Zix+Yorick is such a fucking obnoxious combo. Use Kayle ult+exhaust+kiting to make sure Kha'Zix doesn't get a reset? Doesn't matter, get resurrected and his ghost kills Ez anyway and almost kills Xin with the reset.

Chrispy+Shake duo on Xj9's stream. Shake's support and Chrispy mid.

Looks like they changed some of Thresh's animations since I tried him. E's range seems to have been increased, same with the pull/knock-back effect, which can't be bad (it was really really short at first). His Q also pulls a lot faster than it did previously (slight pause between the two short pulls, took 1.5s total to pull, maybe they didn't want that to work as a 1.5s suppression especially at point-blank range), and when you reactivate it it showed you being pulled to your target prreviously, now it seems like a blink that makes you appear directly behind the target. Not sure how I like it—it seems stronger from a gameplay PoV (faster, easier chaining of QE) but seeing yourself glide toward your chained target was pretty funny (and Thresh has pretty nice animations and quotes).

Moving and "turning" still seem pretty awkward though, as it is with for example Syndra. These models with "standing out" parts don't go well with the engine.


Also, Xj9 jungling Hecarim. He laughed after his last game as to how people ban Vi/Hecarim/Zed while his Kha has a higher win% than those 3.

I still don't understand why people don't go Sheen > Lich Bane on Diana. It's SOOOO good. Stacks with her passive (rip down towers), her timers are work for it (if you q something, the moonlight wont wear off b4 the next charge so you can still ult), has good stats, etc.

I miss Phreak doing the recommended items. At least gave us a clue about some of the more different champions.

I build Thresh as a Jungler making sure to pick up a fast Triforce and wriggles lantern combined with 3 fotm items and boots to round out my build.

Only games I got pointed to for those recently. Hopefully TheYango or someone who knows the scene can hook us up cause that team is a monster lately.
