I should just go back to the warm embrace of Chinese where tenses don't exist and we just smash random words together until it makes sense. I said "apparently" because I, too, didn't know what the past tense of 'smite'.

Crs always dunks on second rate NA teams because their individual skill level is just much higher, this isn't particularly exceptional performance from Crs. | ||

I mean when I saw them play vs these NA teams. Saint was just playing horrible like every game. He looked in a lot better shape this series than back then. It could be just be them playing weaker teams and I'm not remembering properly. | ||

Crs looks better now because Voy is really focking shining atm. saint is still hit or miss. Same with Crs bot lane. And of course this is all moot until they beat Troika consistently. | ||

I should just go back to the warm embrace of Chinese where tenses don't exist and we just smash random words together until it makes sense. Once it becomes commonplace to do so; the proper noun and verb Tbecome complletely seperate. It's the reason the verb no longer uses a capital letter. Google is an example which has evolved into 'to google', being a regular verb. British folk should also know 'to hoover' as another way of saying 'to vacuum' (Hoover was originally a brand of vacuum cleaner) Regarding 'to smite'; that one went the other way and become a proper noun after the fact. Ala, the same rules apply; if you're using it as a verb, it is irregular. 'He can smite Baron' 'He smote Baron' 'He has smitten Baron' ....technically | ||

And of course this is all moot until they beat Troika consistently. Saint's play is entirely dependent on whether or not he gives a shit. If its a minor tournament and he decides he isnt gonna try, he doesnt. Problem is, that has a tendency to make him a hair inconsistent when he DOES want to try cuz he gets stuck in "who gives a shit" mode. | ||

Idk, I think Cop gets a lot of undeserved shit, his team fighting is pretty solid and he has good positioning, I think Elementz really holds him back during the laning phase. Everyone always say supports win bot lanes and Elementz isn't exactly the best. | ||

The question is whether they will be able to compete while fulfilling all of EG's marketing and promotional/side material. | ||
