Is there some science behind the fact that every team that has a good run must then proceed to at least go through a slump or worse become irrelevant. It's happened to about every successful LoL team. CLG.EU plz pull it together.

Ridiculous late game comp on MYM. And I don't understand ATN plan. A blood-boiled Vayne with her ult on, doesn't care if you're a tank.

I guess the two main factors are complacency and that everyone will be preparing for you, in this case for CLG.EU it feels like the former.

Well they dont seem to care much. For them its basically holiday time. They said quite often they would train hard again before season 3. Lets see if that happens.

I watch his stream quite often and I've never seen him go legendary or anything with Ahri...

When you are winning everything, there is only one direction to go in. Down.
I wouldn't really look too much into it, it's just extremely unlikely that a team will keep being he very best for their entire career.

The froggen hate is strong with this one.

Honestly no matter what he picked when kata gets fb and 2 towers by 7/8 minutes and enemy team starts grouping/roaming there is not much you can do to carry.Other team has to try a risky play or something.I like how a lot of people seem to ignore fiddle not doing anything and getting like 1 ult for the entire game lol.

Froggen is probably the main reason they played fiddle (and rumble).

Well we will see what happens next. I hope it was just hubris and they will come back in the next game. If they don't than they obviously didn't care to much about the tournament.

I really don't think anyone here is remotely qualified to challenge Froggen on these decisions.

They could've gone malph/amumu and been useful no matter what happens(I know olaf counters malph).And wickd's rumble did fine honestly.Dunno what everyone is complaining about.

Also atn's bot lane is like really bad.How can you lose to vayne/nunu as graves/lulu the fuck(nvm it's equal but still,it honestly should be a stomp).....

I'm pretty sure being equal to vayne especially as graves is still bad.

It's not like he's infallible. Just like any sport, playing armchair quarterback is part of the fun. You don't have to play at 2.5k Elo to question their decisions.

100% agree... All you need is a beer in your hand and an opinion

PS: Oh look it's a 4-0-2 Vayne at 20 minutes... gg
