It's good Coast won (would have been pretty embarassing if they didn't) and now the fanboys will be like "NA has a chance at worlds" :D
e: Zion pretty a beasty Nid, triforce proc and running through a brush gives hilarious movementspeed
thats the spirit!!! will make it sweeter when koreans crush them.

QuanticPrime is definitely the weak link, as far as I can see. Loco did fine, and the support was landing some good skillshots both games. Woong did okay considering how hard it is to go in without full runes/masteries vs such a strong, snowbally top like Zion. Apple felt a little underwhelming.

Not really impressed too much with Prime mostly, he made a lot of questionable decisions in those games. Woong seems to be doing quite fine in top however. While I can see this team possibly making it to LCS, it won't be easy and as of now, I can't see them doing as well as C9 or Vulcun.

Btw, the build that Shiphtur did on Syndra is the same one Arczer uses. Pretty much the consensus as what the best Syndra build is. huehue
Plz stop building RoA on her.

This. Too many positioning errors and questionable engages by Quantic.
Despite the widespread exaltation of the Korean scene, it would have been an upset for Quantic to have won this as a brand new team with level 20 accounts. However, the level 20 accounts do not excuse the errors Quantic made in team fights and objective control.
Also: Zion's Trinity Force Nidalee was pretty beast. Woong seemed outmatched, but that was probably the rune advantage snowballing for Zion?

Loco said Riot doesn't allow them to use smurf accounts that are already 30 for tournaments. He also said they won't give the team unlimited IP so they can get all the champs/runes until their accounts are lvl 30. Seems kinda dumb!
|
Loco is so humble in defeat.
@Locodoco
gg's to coast, they played a better mid and late game than us and that has nothing to do with runes or masteries
Loco is a true example of an amazing player in both victory and defeat ~~ <3

Makes no sense to me not to allow lvl 30 smurf accounts for a tourney. The whole reasoning behind banning playing on other ppl's accounts was to protect the integrity of solo queue ranked. That doesn't apply here.

Quantic's mid is really weak
|
yeah, they won't get special treatement just because they're korean. As far as riot is concerned they are a random team so no free ip/rp and sharing account is against tos so yeah
|
Listen, I'm not gonna call them bad or anything, but there is a reason why 4 koreans who can barely speak english decided to go to NA to compete and it's not cause "they liked the weather". From the games shown, runes or not Quantic was a tier below LCS.
|
I think they're definitely good enough to make LCS, just need some time to adjust to NA picks.

Well, they didn't bring Blitz's best player from Champions, and they put their decent top lane into mid.
WonSeok plz.

it's really hard to gather anything from these games, I was hyped to watch it just as much as anyone else but anytime a bad play comes out you can't help but wonder about the levels.
Even the Pick/Ban phase which at first appeared terrible to me I (think) was mostly based around "survive to the point in the game where masteries matter the least then close" so I'm still not even sure on that. Only real take away here is EG AD or Feed is still terrible.

I actually think this team is worse than the MiG at OGN. Their upgrades were... downgrades for the initial part. Woong was a good top laner, yes, but how long has it been? Also, their jungler played god awful.

again hard to be sure how much of this is runes/masteries Jungle J4 isn't exactly WW for health levels first clear.
not to mention Nintendude knew this and abused it, contesting j4 at multiple camps because he knew Prime would know he can't duel a Nocturne ahead in levels.

LOCO VS VES IN 15 MINUTES.

Well, this is a pleasant surprise. Who thought I'd spot THE BEST TEAM in NA watching the game of Coast vs Quantic, and the team not being Quantic! Runes aside, Coast's play, decisionmaking, mistake rate was THE BEST I've seen in ANY game for the whole of season 3 in both Europe and NA. I'd go as far as say, that their decisionmaking is on par with the best Korean teams. While they might be lacking mechanically early and the relative lack of high pressure from Quantic might have had them less pressured, their calm during the end (20 minutes) of game 1 was world class. Can't wait to see them battle it out with C9 and others the next season, because if they don't fluke during qualifiers due to pressure they are my top candidate for the next season. Even if C9 and Co. gets crushed at Worlds there is still hope for NA!
The only questionmark in the team is their support, and his positioning early/late, both as Thresh and Fiddle. Wow, just wow! Quantic did not play bad, Coast played next to perfect.
|
Coast did not play next to perfect. They played way too passively and didn't push their advantage as hard as they can. Flawless play is deceptive. Just because you didn't throw the game doesn't mean you did all the best moves possible. The NA teams main weakness is the mid and late game.
