Keep the rage to a minimum. This includes wait times between games, music, and balance.

Fair warning to all.

I have to re-evaluate my impression of Illusion after this game.

It's not just that he's a weak player in the jungle. Realistically I think iG could probably live with that.

His teamfight decision making after the laning phase is just as trash as his jungle play, which is a problem.

XiaoXiao had some of the obvious fuck-ups, but realistically, it was Illusion that was far more lacking in comparison to his M5 counterpart.

Rofl what. None of the top EU / NA teams have even played yet except for M5.


Uh, yeah, because half of them are already out?


Correct me if I'm wrong, but the top three teams of EU / NA are: CLG.eu, TSM, and M5, no?

CLG.na, Dignitas, and SK are mid-tier, no?


Uh yeah, no not really. If they were mid-tier why would they be at the Championchips and not other teams?

Really? because I think he ghosted ez the first two fights they lost. Maybe I'm mistaken.

For fuck's sake, if Yorick actually gets his ult off on Cassi, I don't know why you're still ulting him anyway.

they forced him to do that, don't forget that eve is invisible.

I think in general the main trinity will start to weaken for AD carries.

He ghosted Cass in every fight except for the one really bad fight mid where he ghosted himself with Shen also ulting him. Bad coordination of the two ults.

19. CLG.na & TSM
20. All others

Would put TSM on 3 imo, and CLG.EU/M5 are about even

he ulted himself a few times because he was bursted in those times. it was great play by darien that forced the decisions (knocking ez + cass away at the dragon and then at the baron etc) combined with burst from his team (alex ich in the first, genja i believe in the second?) because otherwise he wouldn't get an ult off at all without flashing, but he should not be positioned in the first place that that can happen ideally.

the problem was when in the two subsequent teamfights, shen ulted yorick after some light damage on him (probably fearful of the subsequent burst) when alex ich would backstab cass / ezreal. those shen ults should NEVER go on yorick, whether the solution is to position more conservatively as yorick or not, because ezreal simply does not have the survivability to live through ezreal's burst and xin's threat.

people rag on xiaoxiao's play but illusion is the issue here.

Got seeded past it because they won eu regional

you're prolly not blind though


You never know with the fancy-smancy talking smartphones they have nowadays, though every TL page has so much text it would take a whole lot longer for a blind person to get through all that.

So probably not blind but maybe blind without knowing it?

SK really is only mid tier in Europe, surely not in top 3.
They just had the match of their life against CLG.eu that played abysmal that day.

That fight where iG got a 2-6 lead at dragon was played really well by XiaoXiao.

M5 is way ahead of CLG.eu.

CLG.eu can't beat M5 with standard play.
