TSM look really impressive. LMQ looking okay, some nice individual plays.
|
This game is unnecessarily long. It was basically over at the 5 min top lane t2 turret things.

Whoever this rapidcasting dude is on twitch, he sure is gaining viewers by commentating on this game. Up to 19k viewers. It would be cool if this was possible for up and coming casters to do, and get away with it.

Which anyone who watched LPL last season could have told you.
LMQ basically ended up being the team of throwaways that weren't good enough for Royal's main lineup (and anyone who was good enough got bumped up to being on Royal).

This LMQ scrim is something..something that makes me feel like LMQ isn't going to have an easy time for the Coke tourney..

If only Soniv and I had no lives..... What may have been...

The Walking Zed new favorites?
Naw, I still think it's too early to judge LMQ. They have a LOT of time to improve before next relegations. I've never bought the "new _insert country here_ overlord team" as I think the regions are closer than a lot of people on TL would have you believe, but that doesn't mean LMQ is totally strapped for talent.

Still, I guess I'll kill it on the hype until I see some actual results. I just I got caught up in appreciating what LMQ was doing as an organization more so than the team. Also I put too much faith in Godlike, and then I remembered how he played in the S3 Grand Finals haha.

The fact that Mor and Xiaoweixiao got booted down to LMQ before Lucky should tell you how bad they are, lol.

True enough on the tsm but yeah I am hoping we see them improve because right now I am not feeling any real hype for um.

Their team fight style is very much like Royal club: throwing all ulties to delete one person at the first second, no matter which one. However, the execution is not as consistent as Royal, so it always ends up like throwing all ulties then losing the following team fight since no one dies. ps. This time Godlike is on his main, aka, renekton.

LMQ getting a 4kill vs TSM. Seem to be pulling pretty far ahead now.
|
Well, looks like they are still playing against tsm. This time, they are doing much better, and their team fighting is pretty nice. Have a very decent 5k lead.
Also have really good map control since they keep picking on TSM inside their own jungle.
|
TSM got a nice 2-0 teamfight vs LMQ, but TSM overextends and gets aced. LMQ gets a baron.
|
They never go back. I like the way they fight at the top inhibitor....
|
TSM played hilariously sloppy there. Bjergsen had basically no impact, Oddone couldn't snowball off of his early doublekill, and Xpecial made a lot of very poor plays. It's just a few scrims though, so we shouldn't be making any conclusions.
