Like vayneauthority said, it just comes down to them getting money, not actually caring about being good.
And what exactly stops said guys from scrimming if they stream?Dig/tsm turned off streams and they can easily do it for next 6/7 hours which is enough.
The "just practice more nooblords" is retarded.Not everyone improves from just playing for 10+ hours.If it was that easy everyone would be doing it.

For whoever was asking about top Maokai, Saint's playing it right now vs Rhux's Gragas and doing pretty well.

CLG's already gone on record saying they know that something's not working right, we don't know what, but we are still trying to identify it and fix it. Spending an extra day to fix something that you can't even identify as a problem in the first place isn't going to help you fix it.
Dig's problem is probably just a lack of adaptation to the meta and Crumbz being one of the weakest junglers in NA LCS at the moment. Man the lengths some people go to to avoid saying "qtpie is not good, and qtpie + kiwi is just abhorrent". Oh, and I maintain that they should be working out on free days, and doing funny shit. For instance, they could make a video called "scarra and QTPIE race", then shave the head of the loser.
I don't normally watch Dig games, but QTpie and Kiwikid are weak too. The reason why people aren't shitting on them as much as Crumbz is they have personalities (at least QT does) and have shown streaks of being at the very least decent, if not good or top 4 bot lane duo.

how do you get better at something, ANYTHING? you practice. Practicing more = getting better. It's really simple.

Crumbz being the weakest jungler right now has everything to do with Dig's main and only strategy they have. It's been figured out and they can't do anything else so that's why they're getting dismantled like this every single game now.
In the beginning of the split when the team was still "quite fresh" they were stomping because they found some kind of jive that could just win them games straight up, but now that every other team has seen what a one trick pony Zion and Shiphtur are, Crumbz can't really do much with that to be honest. Kiwi & Qt not performing is definitely part of the issue though

That isnt true.Just increasing practice time doesnt improve you more.There are a lot of times when taking a break can be more useful.

There comes a point where making out with a pillow in the mirror just isn't going to take you any further and you have to wait for showtime.

Because Dexter doesn't give him any backup, so he stacks it quickly.

Practice well = get better
Practice more != get better
There is tons of research on this if you really care I'll dig through my bookmarks for the journal articles. If 5Hit isn't still banned maybe he can show off his Clinical Psychology PhD Candidacy skills and drop the bombs on you.

I just went on the wiki and took a look at Ziggs' mana costs.
Uh.
Yeah.
._.
Also while practicing is part of the issue for NA teams (and probably even more for EU), it's not like you can spend every single day doing 14+ hours playing over and over. And since he was targeting NA players, their super week doesn't start tomorrow like it does for EU, they have 3 more days to practice, and they were playing in LCS just yesterday. I'm not exactly shocked by one day off.

Even without Grail, I knew he can play without it if he manages carefully, but the ability to spam nilly-willy didn't come from nowhere, since even with grail (and sometimes blue) there are champions running out of mana. But I didn't know his Q starts at only 50 mana, that's absolutely nothing pre-6.

That's if you want to be a literal terrorist and bomb the opponent back to the stone age.

I didn't realize buying items in a video game gave us access to physical warheads. ^_^

I get you have the right intentions but please stop with the sweeping generalizations. Not only is it really annoying to read but it's flat out wrong. As with anything requires a lot of practice, burn out is a real issue and unless you have insight on how NA teams are managed, ease up on the backseat coaching.
There are plenty of reasons why NA teams are behind compared to KR but it's definitely not something "practice more" can simply solve. There are merits as to why LCS teams don't scrim/take it easy on Mondays.
|
Not to mention that solo queue has merits of its own.
Scrimming is not the only way to practice. It's also been shown in the past that players who never play solo queue and only scrim tend to fall behind fast.
