When Gambit wins, it's off mid and jungle. When Fnatic wins, it's cause Xpeke is a god and Soaz probably didn't get destroyed too hard 1v2.
Pls. In Genja and Darien I trust. Ye of little faith, GG will show you come worlds.
Genja is the doublelift of EU except he doesn't make the plays. He seriously makes boneheaded decisions sometimes and has a mind of his own.
TRIPLE DORANS S3 HALF LIFE 3 CONFIRMED
Seriously, Genja and Darien are like RapidStar. Good in team fights and that's about it. Also I'm pretty sure I figured out the secret to Genja's positioning success. The trick is to build so terribly and inefficiently that no one cares about you because you aren't a threat.
Alternatively, it's to play so pussy that you're not even close to doing reasonable damage to things (even if you had real items), but look ok on the scoreboard because you autoattack things enough to sneak in assists and not die.
Most of page 82 has been the Roffles and CSheep show and I find this thoroughly amusing. I just imagine one person rapidly typing from two computers talking to himself on an internet forum website.

Nah, you play MF and go double Bt lw and do tons of damage with bullet time. Genja for president

He went that BT first/blue buff thing on ashe because he prefered using volley as damage instead of putting himself in place where he had to auto.
Actually I recall an interview where he said he went BT LW all the time because it maximizes ability damage, and that was "how he prefered to do damage to enemy champions"

It worked pretty well in early season 3 with the cheaper bt, stronger BC and the popularity of armor shred bruisers like j4, xin, and renekton but Genja pls....move on
Well varus/mf work best with flat ad focus so why would he move on?His champ choices work better with flat ad caster oriented builds so it's pretty normal he uses them.

EU mids are lightyears ahead of their NA competition. The likes of Alexich, Xpeke, and even players like Forellenlord, Bjergsen, and Nukeduck are far better than Scarra, Reginald, Link, and Mancloud.
EU's tops are serviceable, but where EU really lacks is good AD play. Where I think they'll falter is to those teams that do have strong bot lanes (Korea/China). I don't see how EU can hold up with the likes of Yellowstar feeding 24/7 as Thresh and Genja feeding with his no ASPD build for Gambit. They're better than NA because their mid play is better, but they'll falter to legit bot lanes (Mata/Imp, Piglet/Pooh, Pray/Cain).
When you have the worst AD carry representing you at Allstars (Yellowscrub), you know you're in trouble.
Lists the best EU mids, then lists a mix of NA mids, including Scarra, without putting in Hai.

Varus may have bananas ad ratios but he still has a good aa range and a good as steroid, I do not think it is optimal to genja build him. If you do it on Varus you might as well do it on Graves

Ruffles pls.
Doesn't matter. I think Mancloud's the best mid in NA. Hai comes second.
I don't care if China looks weak or if they said they went 50-50 in scrims against Korea. I like OMG. Gogoing's manliness reminds me of Reach, and then he proxies with Mundo at the tier 2 bottom tower even when it's 5v5 so even his playstyle is manly as hell.
And then in NA you have Regi / Dyrus having girlfriend fights and reddit drama and a fat guy who finished 3rd to barely qualify for regionals and trash talks 4th place while fanboys cry out "shots fired lolol."
Gogoing doesn't fire shots. He punches you in the face while eating raw meat.

TSM is jerks.
I actually think C9 getting seeded into playoffs might hurt the team. They don't get any of the much needed experience in such a setting that the group stages give and they don't get any kind of warm up in the environment. They just get thrown against a team that most likely will be riding some momentum and is more comfortable than them. Actually the whole seeding directly into playoffs hurts teams that could potentially move on the bracket I believe. It only really benefits teams that were never going to get out of group stages in the first place.
