After assessing all the comments from EU Day 1, we've decided to put a warning in regards to any bashing of commentators and cameraman. If you have nothing constructive to contribute, don't post. You are always welcome to mute the stream. Understand that this is just the beginning and production is a work in progress.

Thanks,

Which will be all the better if he turns out to be equally entertaining/skilled at outplaying people with other AD carries. As long as he isn't terrible with standard picks maybe his team will revel other ban-worthy champs that prevent a Kennen ban from being too critical.
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.

I'm watching sunday's VoDs now, wow Wickd on Akali? When did he start playing her? Oo

About jungle Volibear and Slusher surprised from his passive: Diamond didn't smite blue buff in either game, tho you seem to think he did it the first time he didn't.

And I really liked GIANTS playstyle, including how they adaptated to the level 3 dive on their 1v2 laner according to the previous games. Plus Jimbo is super entertaining.

SK and EG are the two teams I dislike in EU LCS, and I expected EG to smash SK who kinda appeared as the butt of the joke who lucked their seed into the league... at first I was like "oh well, at least it'll be fun", then I started thinking "well if SK wins I'm happy to see EG lose, if not I'll have a good laugh, it's a win/win" and then when they took a decisive lead I was pretty happy to see EG destroyed. Guess I know who I dislike most now. x)

We were talking about it among the staff and we think EG is trying out some new things in real game situations since losing one game isn't the end of the world in the LCS. We don't think EG took Wolves/SK very seriously so they were trying out a more aggressive play style which is obviously against the norm for them. Their comp against GAM was much more traditional for them.

Their comp against Gambit wass more traditional, because what they actually wanted to do was banned. While against Sk, the traditional stuff was banned. They did not take SK any less serious than Gambit.
Wickd called Sk their most dangerous opponent, because they scrimmed a lot against them and lost more than they won.
Off-season = best season

Missed that bit, didn't realize SK was looking that good. Maybe they are finally developing synergy since their roster has been stable for a while.

Looking back a bit, I didnt see much discussion about the 4x Randuins from SK gaming. I personally think its a really good strategy considering the defensive benefits and the insane amount of slowing all around. Do you guys think we will see more this, or that other teams will try to do it as well?

Its situational - the only real AP was from Wickd who is only about bursting down priority targets (which he hadn't really been able to manage) and he's never going to try to burst down a tank, nor could he, so the remaining damage from EG was all attack damage so building a stack of Randiuns was extremely effective. Froggen's Jayce was doing almost no damage and Yellowpete wasn't faring much better.

It was all down to that Akali pick, certainly if Akali gets going she's a terror to deal with, but when she gets relatively shut down and people itemize against her...she is less than effective

He plays a wicked Ashe as well (Ashe/Nunu lanes). You can see that in the Fnatic vs Giants game from LCS Quals. I can't say for sure about other champions but he feels like a Vayne player to me. Just a hunch.

I'm glad to see Giants come out firing though. Jimbz, Samux & Exter are all fantastic players. I just hope Wolves pick themselves up after Week 1. I think that Wolves will have trouble breaking the top 4 teams but will do well against everyone else. Meanwhile Giants look capable of picking off the top 4 if things go their way.

Can't wait to see how DragonBorns & aAa do in week 2 even though Riot love throwing all of the "lower-4" into the fire in the first round.
