It's not on the sidebar, but LPL has started. Today we got to watch the new FPX vs RNG. Honestly not too impressed with Gori (he was a good midtier LCK player, but Xiaohu is just a tier above), but as a team FPX is really impressive. Ngl, the real surprise is seeing how hard Lwx is gapping every lane (including during Demacia cup), his haters must be rolling in their graves. Maybe Hang just meshes better with him?

Corki's poke build when he hit level 16 is so hilarious to watch it hurts. The last that executed Xiaohu, Gala and clapped Wei for ~1000 was a beauty. Still dont understand why the poke focused Corki build took so long to hit pro and high Elo.

Because at the end of the day, a lot of player's still treat Corki like an ADC, and ADC are all about auto attacking. They are both strong builds, Corki damage late is overtuned imo (so is Viktor, but he's basically a minion until 3 items).

Omg, I tuned into game 2 TES vs RA just as TES threw and survived with a 90 HP nexus. What a hilarious start to the day.

Because there's no MSI thread yet, who the fuck at Riot esports gave out these MSI group seeds? VCS, who haven't competed in a year and a half are pool two, and BOTH of the most recent minor region qualifiers to mainstage in LJL and OPL are both in the lowest pool? Somehow by the grace of god LLA manages to be pool 3 because??? Isn't the best result LLA has ever had that time Wunder just barely carried G2 past them in 2018? Hell, VCS isn't even sending their winner (necessarily) as the GAM players have a prior obligation and can't make it. So there's a world where VCS 2nd place team is considered a higher seed than the first place seed of either team to most recently make it out.

What an absolute clown show.

Hasn't VCS historically been quite good compared to other minor regions? It's why it was a real shame to not see them the last year. I don't take MSI too seriously, minor regions only have a chance because top LPL/LCK teams aren't preparing like they are for Worlds, seeding isn't too important.

Hopefully PSG gives us some spicy games vs RNG, G2 NA group only having 3 teams blows hard though.

i dont understand why msi doesnt give a guaranteed spot for worlds.
it would incentivise the top teams to take it a little bit more seriously and more importantly the teams that go to the final dont have to completely handicap themselves for summer.
no break + preparing for msi always makes you come back to the summer split in a worse position than everyone else. seems stupid that youre penalised just because you won the spring split.
