We can't really know what amount of skipping is involved.He could've been away from the team house for a week with his girlfriend or something when the team is clearly having some issues in lcs.You can be certain he wasn't there too much because otherwise they really wouldn't kick best support eu and replace bot lane with yellowstar and a random solo q hero who might not be able to handle the pressure of lcs.

It's more about if that's really holding them back or just an excuse they formed.

Anyway change of topic. I want to grab a top laner that is pretty safe vs anyone so can pick it early on. My shen seems a bit iffy and malphite is often banned. What do you guys suggest? I normally play Irelia/Shen/Malph/Zed top and thinking maybe someone like yorick.


Yorick is an awful champ and being reworked right now, don't play him plz

Isn't Renekton a pretty solid top in most situations?

also does anyone else see this whenever you look at the picture for his ult:

@sob3k and scip

I completely agree with you guys, if you lack commitment you better off benched.

BUT

We also have to consider why he exactl he was benched, so imma ask you ( especially scip since you're challenger an play with the pros all the time)
Do you honestly think grinding 2 hours of soloq in top of their 8 hour practice schedule will help them significantly to obtain that "edge" sob3k was talking about earlier?

Sure cyanide, peke, soaz have motivation cause they get 10-20k viewers $$$. But instead of trolling a few hours in soloq learning nothing valuable for his lcs games and even hating it, he is probably better of having a nice date with his gf. With a
balanced life he's probably going less mentally streased into the games than the rest.

Now if he hates to sit down for extra team meetings/ strategy craft or replay analysis that would be a whole differet story of course but being benched for not playing soloQ l0l.

I types this on the phone so i didnt bother rechecking all their statements so maybe i got some facts wrong but the way i see it now is that n-rated was the scapegoat for fnatics current slump although he performed ok, which also conveniently opens the way for rekkles zo smoothl transition into the team.
Yellowstar just happened to have more friends on the team.

Jayce is the safest toplaner and he's also incredibly OP. He loses in trades vs many champions but he has the option to never trade and never fight straight-up. He dictates how every lane goes.

If you were the best player in the world and only had to play 1 game a day you wouldn't get kicked

he got picked because of underperforming and not willing to train harder to make up for it
nobody would kick a teammember because they want to have a gf
this is not a job this is sports
the highest performance wins
if cyanide wanted to only play X hours a day and wasnt up to par on skill fnatic can just hire scip who probably will play like all day anyway

also for all your people hating on soloq I have yet to see a dominant player who didn't manage to dominate in solo q

you can usually track performance of teams based on recent solo q performance to reasonble accuracy as well

like elementz being stuck at 1800 and shit
when clg were dominant hotshot was top of solo q

I can't comment on how much does having a nice date with your gf affect your performance (I've never NOT had a date with my awesome hot gf, so no comparison points) but I find practicing in soloQ pretty good, if only to learn new champions and for your mechanics and fundamental decision making.

lOl to be fair, SGS is a pretty good team and it's a whole roster change and dinter's gotta learn AD and Bebe mid or top (?)

funny thing is they always post pictures with them happily smiling in my facebook feed so I always assumed they won cause I can't read mandarin :D

It's Bebe top, Achie mid, Sarsky jungle, Jay support and Dinter AD. And Dinter played AD for his ex-team before he joined TPA.

For those of you might want to know, it seems Toyz only retires from TPA, not retires from the scene. (People think Toyz is only taking a break based on what he and Garena TW said.)

Let's be real, TPS is the only hope of carrying the "legacy" of TPA. In MiSTakE we trust.

Esports is a highly cutthroat business with hundreds if not thousands of people lining up to take their job at any opportunity.

Its like how the economy took a hit a few years back and jobs we're really fucking hard to come by. Then add to the fact that its an extremely difficult job to land in the first place and you're one of hundreds of perfectly qualified applicants, then put that situation on a metric shit-ton of crack, speed and extacy and you have being a pro-gamer.

You have to distinguish yourself somehow and be 100% committed, if you're not, there are plenty of other people who would relish the opportunity and put in double the amount of work.

I honestly hope Toyz doesn't retire from the scene, cause that guy is a fucking monster and to have him go so early would be tragic

Kha'Zix damage and trading is still super high, despite having 2 dblades to his Tear I almost lost trades as Pantheon... and he was maxing (and evolving) W first, not Q. >.>
I'd probably have taken a beating (until I bought BFS while he sat on vamp+ruby+long sword) if he maxed Q, despite outfarming him and being 2 kills up on him. As Pantheon.

I was less surprised by the damage than to see a Gold I player keep the Tear -> max and evolve W build though, it didn't do much for him.
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.
