Curse players are probably just going to laugh it off as a troll game, but they got outplayed both individually and tactically. They should be embarrassed by this week's performance. | ||

After all the roster changes how did anyone not expect TSM to be first? Link has yet to prove to be a significant upgrade to Jiji. Sure he stomped 1 game as Syndra early on but Jiji has done just as much if not more when he gets a good game. Dignitas are still the reigning Olympic throwing champion. Curse still have not benched Elementz/Cop. And the other lanes get into this habit where they play the same style over and over and get abused. (TSM has this to a certain extra but at least they have other lanes to rely on when one lane gets abused. Curse's bot lane does very little compared to TSM's). | ||

I dunno, Deman did a pretty good job actually describing the insane team fights that were happening. | ||

CLG should've been scouting for someone like mandatorycloud who isn't afraid to make plays. I still believe that LiNk has a lot of potential and I don't think he's the main reason CLG is losing by any stretch of the imagination (but then again I don't think jiji was really the core of their problems either).

Cop has had a few rough weeks and he was vastly overrated on ADC but Elementz is a lot weaker than him. I'd be interested to see how well Cop would do with a good support before jumping down Curse's throat about benching him. | ||

Really glad WT came in to revitalize the team and that TSM was not afraid to shake things up when it was obvious they needed it. | ||

jiji shares it decently well and can speak from having CLG contacts and from the fact that he's on an amateur team that's gonna try to get into LCS next season. some info on the purpose throws that just happen today @ lcs week10 last day for every1 Entire LCS relegation qualifier to lcs playoff seeding system is extremely flawed. During the LCS ranked ladder qualifiers the best seed/finshing to go for is NOT 1st, OR 2nd. but 3rd is the best. Because if ur first place off the LCS qualifiers you have to play LCS teams that drops out of the playoff, instead of the shittiest of the LCS teams 7th and 8th. Azure cats got first seed anyway (which is actually extremely horrible, and makes our route to qualify into LCS summer a lot tougher). Because we have to play the losers of the playoffs between CLG vs Vulcun atm. Same issue occurred just now at the end of the lcs today again, where curse and vulcun both didnt wanna win. (Curse wanted vulcun to win because vulcuns a way better team than ggu, so effectively they increase chances of CLG being knocked out). vulcun didnt want to win because they know they are not good enuf to win the playoffs 100%, they just want to stay in the LCS and not get knocked out of LCS @ the relegation. Although they had less reasons advantages to lose... losing would mean that they will face dig in the playoffs, if they lose they will play "Team Summon"(http://leaguepedia.com/wiki/Team_Summon) at the relegation. That team has to acquire TWO subs due to their original roster's AD + TOP being underage. If they win vs CURSE they will have to play CLG (which is no real different from vsing DIG). however if they lose they will have to play azure cats (us) which would be a lot more dangerous for vulcan. TYPED REAL FAST NO SPELLCHECK OR ANYTHING GL UNDERSTAND OR NOT PZ! Also, I didn't realize that Azure Cats got the #1 seed for the amateur teams. Good on jiji. | ||

Why show strategy when it's unnecessary? Any punishment would be a farce. They should fix the set up they have for sure. But this is similar to the ARAM thing that happened. The teams should know better than to make light of the competition. Riot has rules expressly prohibiting this. It's just like the Olympic Badminton scandal. Yeah the organizers should've made a better tournament format but that doesn't mean they can just turn a blind eye to people blatantly making light of the event. | ||

Apparently, according to CLG, both teams wanted to lose to fuck up CLG's playoffs. Curse wants to lose so Vulcun plays CLG and Vulcun wants to lose so that they have an easier time in relegation. The logic being that GGU is an easier team for CLG to beat in round 1 so that Curse doesn't have to play CLG in semis. jiji shares it decently well and can speak from having CLG contacts and from the fact that he's on an amateur team that's gonna try to get into LCS next season. Also, I didn't realize that Azure Cats got the #1 seed for the amateur teams. Good on jiji. We talked about this a bit in LP chat. IMO Riot shouldn't punish anyone. This is different than the ARAM finals, this is the end of a season with seeding for one team(Crs) set in stone, so it could be akin to 'resting starters'(even if you aren't facing physical ramification for playing out one final LoL game) that is seen in every professional sport. If CLG wanted to play a different team they should've won more games. I didn't know about the Azure Cats/Relegation seeding thing though. That doesn't change my opinion over what transpired, but it does sound silly that the #1 seed is in line to face a better team. | ||

What isn't fine is Vulcan swapping roles in order to try to lose. | ||
