They're tournament serious. They've played a lot together and don't have to be amped up or consoling one another to get the job done. They don't really need a group huddle to have their mind set on the game.


It was just like 2 weeks ago that SV flipped out on HSGG because HSGG backed out of a Baron call. They argued on stream for like 30 minutes.

I really do think they just clash.

no offense but Zenon is making way to big of a deal of an asian team making the finals

To be honnest I was really surprise, the asian teams got crushed at dreamhack,but they're doing really well in this tournament, that's nice to see


The Asian teams were not Chinese since their servers officially went up around the same time as DH. Looking at how Flash performed (Singapore), the other Asian teams still seem to be weaker than NA or EU.

AEON (the team that was originally going to come from Singapore) played against WE in a recent event, and came out with a commanding win.

No. One tournament doesn't mean anything. Just like it won't mean that CLG and NA teams are better than the Chinese teams if they win.


Most people would probably say that NA/EU teams were better than Chinese teams before this tournament.


Completely impossible to tell which teams are better since this is the first time we see them play each other in a real tournament.


people would also argue that CLG is not the top NA team as well though

even after this tournament LoL meta-game is so awkward because of the amount of heroes joining the game every few weeks really creates an inconsistent meta-game


Yeah, jiji and Chauster have both said that they think LoL was a much more balanced game several months ago and feel that all the new champs are really messing with game balance. I kind of agree with them.

I don't get why people can't say that there is no "best team" in LoL right now. For me to call a team the best team they'd need to win numerous tournaments over a long span of time. It's just annoying that ever since DreamHack there's a new "best team."


its simple, LoL is a game where top players basically have the same mechanics

what separates teams is teamwork, every single one of these players would tell you the best team is the one who practices the most

not to mention that the powercreep on new heroes is pretty rediculous, and the fact they seem to be making these stupid heroes with dominion in mind more than sr



I just hope they stop making new champions soon. That way metas can actually develop and Riot can focus purely on balancing. I'm pretty happy with where LoL is, I don't like the constant influx of new champs that seem to be really fucking strong or are really good at certain niche roles.

It's not really the new champs that are throwing things off it's the huge massive changes they have been implemented which is really destructive to a competitive environment. They need small minor changes then see how it works for a couple weeks then minor tweaks again. The however Riot has been just swinging around the nerf bat as hard as they can.

They do, but it doesn't matter as much is what I mean. They argue plenty and clash with personalities, but they've still stuck together as a team and not broken up. They continue to play in tournaments and do well (most of the time), even with these clashes. I think it makes them stronger as a team, because they're able to work together and play well even with these problems.

If by 'mechanics' (what does what word mean in LoL anyways) you mean individual skill, I think no, not at all. But you can somewhat overcome a lack of individual skill with teamwork.

I think these lanes will benefit CLG. Or at least I hope so.

Caitlyn has single handedly fucked up bottom lane. Orianna took up a must ban slot for like two months. Brand is a dick in lane. Lee Sin is god of jungle.

Too many new champs that are really fucking strong and throwing off game balance. Even if it's minor it's still pretty annoying. I understand it, Riot needs to make money, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

I just started seeing solo bot (like HSGG is doing right now) and playing some ranked games earlier said it was a change in meta game. What does that mean?

Each spell cast gives her a stacking buff that reduces her mana costs by 10% stacks up to 5.

When she uses spells her next spell costs less mana. It stacks a few times but has a timer on it so you have to spam spells to take advantage of it.

Lame. Hotshotgg shouldn't have blown his ult when he was obviously going to die. Would have had that triple kill at dragon easily.
