I just have to say, the pentakill from Kha'zix in game 1 of TBC v MRN was disheartening.

I'm happy brunch club made it, but I really wanted MRN to get through.

I don't know MRN got caught WAY out of position and got really hard initated on by a double assassin comp Khaziz had an easy lane and got a ton of resets but it would have happened the same way if it was a katarina or some other champ with resets. the MRN adc getting a LW and a vamp instead of a warmogs really hurt them and in the end the only defensive item I saw him get in that game was a qss.

The second one annoyed me more because Kha was almost dead and just pressed R and lived, waiting at the backline till he got a reset. Kat can only shunpo out after she has a reset, and Master Yi uses a channeling ability.
The first one had him abuse his ult (stealth so they didn't see him rush toward Cait + 40% MS buff) and a 900 range jump whereas Shunpo as 700 range.
But Cait's build was way too squishy for the comp she was facing, I agree.

Oh, I understand and I'm not even crying "OMG WTF OP BULLSHIT RESETTING CHAMPS ARE DUMB" - it's more because I wanted to see MRN do well, and that pentakill was kind of representative of everything they did wrong (building too squishy, not trying to keep KZ shut down, getting as far behind as they were in the first place such that they had to claw their way back up from a deficit.)

Just went thru Santvicious AMA on Reddit, he speaks highly of DNG and think that DNG will grab the 5th spot! In DNG we trust!

Very safe, balanced teams by both teams. Azure probably should have taken Graves away from ecko finally, but I guess they're fairly confident.

That cheesy homeguard teleport by Cris. Too bad it didn't work.

Stream stop lagging~ :<

I like that the casters are talking about the siege minion. Give them some little subtleties to talk about in the laning phase when everybody's just farming happily, or point out stuff like Olaf's timed aggression to make Cris miss his.
