Wolves fighting this week!
Not really they have been taking this week off. :D
But oh well its pretty much only half of the season over now if we include the playoffs.
For today I am only really looking forward to the SK vs Wolves game. And I am hoping that Giants and aaa can create some problems for gambit and fnatic.
next week: joe miller goes to cast NA with Deman full time, and we get phreak and Rivington. Why cant we have nice things? If NA hates their casters dont put them on EU, just replace them

Eh, we had Jatt for a while and overall I actually like the NA casters more. I'd trade Quikshot and Jason anytime for any of the NA casters.
They already have a locket, and he has a negatron cloak, so the kindlegem will become a SV... I'm surprised Giants! doesn't go for an abyssal with their triple AP comp though.

Yeah we all would not mind, just not Joe Miller and Deman, i would easily put that up as the best 2 caster we have atm in LoL. Jatt would be third.
Is it because of their triple AP comp that Giants! doesn't dare try to finish off Nashor before Diamond comes back? I thought Elise was super good at killing it through all of her spiderlings.

heh, you got me to laugh. Seriously, picks janna + ashe, but ashe tries to flank from the side, instead of being in backline.
Partially Darien's fault too, he was overzealous in the initiation; they could have just as easily backed out instead of diving for Ester so damn hard.
I feel like Ashe's kiting is useless since Nasus, Diana and Renekton want to dive in, so her biggest asset is her ult, unless she manages to survive the entire fight and enter clean-up phase... but with so many zhonya's and the range on Elise (through cocoon and rappel) and sustained damage of Rumble...

First, Quickshot and Jason are analyzers and not casters. Second, I doubt you would trade any of them for rivington. I would trade them for kobe/jatt but we cant have all the nice things
was about to say that there are only 4 matches today, then I realized that 4 is a usual lcs matchday but it's just been a long time since we had one of those :D

They're playing the team fight terribly. Nasus + Janna should be peeling for Ashe; and using Wither on MF for Diana + Renekton to jump on her. The issue is Diana isn't particularly farmed. 286 at 45 min is pretty lacking... Especially for Alex Ich. Ashe is going to be Gambit's saving grace; Giant has shit comp for tower diving, and Gambit has very good wave clear, going to be hard for them to fight Gambit under tower.
Lolo who needs Warmogs to prolong fights, just buy Zhonya. How many HP does Darien have? ~2k + 1k + 200 + 450 + 380x2... around 4500 HP, 5k with his ult on?

You can zhonya if you're stunned. There was teh stun animation on him, when he was zhonya'd.
what, you can't use hourglass while stunned
If you see the fight, you can clearly see the "stun" circle on top of Samux when he's zhonya'd.
well I was taking a shower when that teamfight occured but I'm pretty sure you can't use it when you're stunned/knockedup/silenced unless it's a special interaction with arrow I'm not aware of, brb testing ingame.

Some teams are just kryptonite to other teams. With that being said; Gambit played that entire game terribly. Not to take anything away from Giants, but Gambit was pretty sloppy with their play; their bot combo picks were also questionable. Oddly enough Gambit got outplayed in late game too. lol.
This is what it's like to be a gambit fan sometimes they just come out really flat, it was different when there weren't many lans they'd always be prepared but now that it's weekly you just see their online performance every couple weeks in the LCS

No more "air of mystery" anymore; they're not so isolated anymore.

I've actually suggested this before and still think it's the best defensive item for them against dive comps <.<
This game between aAa and Fnatic isn't that great for LR. tl;dr Fnatic outfarming aAa in all lanes, takes a fight 4-0 and have 10k gold lead by 18 min.
they lost all lanes because they gave away two by sending an ad/support combo that can't wave clear mid vs. TF, you basically auto lose mid (going even cs with no tower in this situation is a loss) and you lose whatever lane is getting 2v1'd

Roaming Alistar woulda been so much more useful than in 2v1 mid

I don't trust TheTess' mechanics to play Draven...
it's an aoe comp, draven has no aoe
Draven ult does almost the same dmg as graves q/r and with just 2 autos you would more dmg anyway.
People don't seem to realise that draven ult is kind of retarded dmg if it hits twice.750+220% ad if it is on only one target.Let that sink in for a moment.

Huh he talked about wanting to travel to China with his family. But I thought this would only be a short time thing like 1 week.
ok I'll give you 1, I'm not giving you stand aside, point taken, but Graves is the better pick for this comp imo, also graves can E out of Jarvan ult, which is still relevant even as teammates.

I am kind of neutral there. I stopped hating on Ocelote after he lost all that money with the own3d.tv banktruptcy and started to make the competetive play his priority instead of streaming.
On March 31 2013 02:28 Martinho wrote: Why is Ocelote hated so much?
His personality. Arrogance, always wanting to be in the focus of attention, overrating himself and his team suffering from his focus on streaming. Imo he improved on some of those points though. He is more of a team player now than he was.
In starcraft there are a lot of kids who are really fucking good at the game. Would it be possible to form a (individually) competitive Team Kids? I'm not sure about the age of the players but the first the comes to mind are Bjergsen, Hosan/Rekkles and Kakao.
It's probably possible but then you would have to account for communication issues if they don't have a common language. Much harder to do in EU than NA.

I'm guessing you forgot about team dynamic back in ipl...
rooting for DB, just cuz they have a player called "yamato cannon"
By catching the support they blew the Kayle ultimate. Instead of waiting and using that advantage to push/force a fight in a good position Dexter just dove in and got himself killed with the rest of his team out of position.

Oh god, please no. So hard to root for kids like NintendudeX.
There's a reason why Alex.lch is well liked way more than DiamondproX. Social skills go a long way.

German and Spanish is very distinct as well. But yeah, French accent usually takes the cake. :D

Anyone knows if there are ads on the youtube stream? I never see any despite having adblock deactivated there. I am just wondering whats the point of having this stream if there are no ads.

because jarvan was the one in range of alex and diamond and ult on oce wouldnt have mattered imo because they only went on him after the shield ran out, definitely good play by darien to flash cocoon and interupt shen ult.
every kill on kassadin worth it on top of being 20cs ahead of oce. Kass gonna wreck so hard

Pls don't send them mid again aaa ezreal/ali doesn't work mid. Wait freddy on diana and shlaya on shen shall we just assume that freddy and shlaya are both top and mid from now on not strictly top or mid.

Well during the qualifiers it was not like MYM looked all that good either, GIANTS and DB actualy played alot stronger, if that still is the case we will see soon enough.
TheTess positioning failed, while Gambit somehow managed to stay alive (Zed either couldn't deal his damage during his ult, or had his ult on cooldown at the start).
TheTess refuses to actually deal damage. Conspiracy theory: Alex Ich is feeding on purpose just to tell Ocelote "See? And I'm still better than you." afterwards.

Yep, Locket + Randuins or Aegis depending on the enemy comp.
That makes sense, sacrifice the damage for extra tankiness and still have on of the best initiations in the game.
I prefer that build, as well. the IBG is overrated
I think it's fine for soloq because it allows you to carry harder, but in a competitive setting were you can actually rely on your teammates to do damage it isn't worth the gold.
sometimes in solo q you gotta do the damage yourself. When Crumbz picked up Hecarim for a bit he used the solo q build and it was good, but this was much stronger.

IWD was no longer in the team when Hec sustain was nerfed (I know he tried it during season 2). Hec has been played three times during the EU LCS before today (all loses). I'm not sure if today's games will have the same impact as what happened with Voli and Nasus. Diamond tried Udyr once during the LCS and nobody else tried it :p

I wouldn't jump to say he'd catch up as a standard pick either if this were an isolated event but as we said on the previous page, Hec is already picked or banned in almost every LPL match in China. And if there's anyone to popularize a jungle champion in the west, that's Diamond.
