give who credit? Vulcan? I think I did crushing is a good word when you are doing it. clg did not deserve to win this week, not with the play they showed

Wow CLG 0-2. That's crazy. Good day for Vulcun, they really needed those wins. I guess this is what the NA scene needed to prevent things from going stale.
|
Vulcun winning twice today was a nice thing to see.
|
Maybe one day the terrible amount of HateShotGG will go away... but I do not think it will be for awhile xD
|
After watching some lol and heard the winners interview I realized that it would be cool if Riot measured the decibel from each team during the games. It could be a decent proxy for 'teamplay activity' and that could be presented by a graph in real time.

Disregarding his decisions for kicking players out of the team for the moment, his own performance is consistently terrible.

Doesn't seem like I missed a lot with that last game. V.glad Vulcun is on the board, and that Dig vs CLG game will bring a smile to my face for days.

Kinda bad when he cannot consistently perform in arguably the weakest of the three major scenes.

It's not that he can't perform, he is just a bad player with no map awareness, aim, nor game knowledge.

Hotshot still plays like it's season 1 where you only farm for the first 30m of a match. That wouldn't be so bad if he had shown he could carry late, but I can't remember the last time he did that. The game has evolved and he's been left behind.
|
lol clg,i wouldnt surprise if their roster change again soon.
|
CLG vs. Vulcan really showed how much better blue side is than purple IMO. If CLG didn't laneswap there is no way that early dragon happens. (I haven't even finished the game yet though).

He benched the best jungler in North America so that he could try a stab at jungling. Then he benched the best top laner in North America so that he could go back to top lane. For the last year and a half the vast majority of the community has been in agreement that he's a weak player.
Yeah, he has strengths and he's definitely in the top like 5% of players in the world. But his strengths don't outshine his weaknesses and frankly he hasn't looked good since Jax still had dodge.
Watching Curse do so well hurts as a CLG fan. I suppose it isn't fair to give Hotshot all of the blame for benchings. I'm sure everyone on the team had a say on saint, Voyboy, and jiji being benched. But it's not like they could've proposed benching the guy who owns the team (which would've solved a lot more problems than benching saint/Voy).

I am really happy for Vulcun today, they really deserved their wins and played really good.
Even so, I just wanna say that I hate Mancloud in advance for the amount of AP nids that I will no doubt play against this week

I don't think bringing up Curse is a good argument. It is possible that Voy was slacking on CLG and picked up the slacks after he moved to Curse. HSGG has only limited control over that as his boss.
The fact of the matter is that HSGG's ability as a PROFESSIONAL player is somewhat questionable. Sure he is 2500+ Elo and I will probably never be better than him in soloQ, I feel that he lacks the practice required to be competitive.
|
It isn't even just about Voyboy because he looked really shitty on CLG. Saintvicious looked and still looks a lot better as a jungler than Chauster and he has years more experience doing it. I'm not that annoyed about them kicking Voyboy. I never really got over them benching saint and moving Hotshot to jungle. CLG with saint was a lot stronger than CLG has been without him and he wasn't even slacking or anything when they kicked him.
|
Wasn't the whole Saint situation a personality clash more than anything else? You're never going to be able to survive in an organization when there's mutual hatred between you and the owner regardless of your performance.
|
There were a lot of conflicting calls, too. SV, Chauster, and HSGG would all be trying to make calls, often conflicting. I think chauster will do fine in the jungle, he's in a good position to lead the team, and it's working.
I'm honestly liking CLG's play more now than I have since well before SV left the team. I honestly think HSGG is getting more flak than he deserves. He's not a perfect player, but he's a lot better than people give him credit for, especially in the 1v2 lane situations, and coming out of laning phase with shit farm from a 1v2, which is so common these days.
It's TSM that I think is weak now.
