I do but that's besides the point. We were talking about Gambit's POV and Alex made it clear on multiple occasions in the past several weeks that he considers Fnatic and Wolves the only threats in EU.

The FANTASTIC EVIL RUSSIAN

So, Evil refer to evil genius, an american team, and fantastic mean nothing at all (did he meant fanatic ?). It's the EU all star team, not merica.

Also, FANTASTIC EVIL is not an oxymoron.

I think it is because mid and jungle are the most influential lanes for the general flow of the game and Wolves are very strong in those specific positions. For example if a team instead had a very strong toplaner and a support it might not be as scary.

Of course the rest of Wolves isn't exactly terrible either, actually I think many people do underestimate their toplane for example(I still haven't really been impressed by TheTess but he's had a few decent games I guess)

However Fanatic -> chaotic -> chaotic evil -> the abyss > abyssus -> secret razer advertizing?

Wolves says they won';t give any globals to fnatic and then don't ban TF or Shen. Wut?

A "proper" fanatic actually strictly adhers to his dogma, meaning he's loyal, not chaotic, it's just his ruling system may differ from yours.

^ 2nd pick OP if you keep 3 threats open and go all "You've got first pick? Oh, no, what can I do about that!" at your opponent.

They apparently want to take them all for themselves.

I guess wolves wanted the globals, fnatic takes one of the globals then wolves takes their own to follow it but then kha'zix got first picked so they went "okay we take both"

"Leona and Nocturne? Zyra" where Zyra actually spells "fuck you".

Not a fan of the Ahri pick at all. :/

Really nice to see xPeke Ahri, seen some games of it on his stream and it's really good. Hopefully we're going to see some awesome plays. Really wonder what the last pick for wolves will... Oh Nasus?

Ahri can really crush TF in 1vs1, good pick.

I think fnatic got outpicked pretty hard. They have decent lanes, but vastly inferior mid/lategame and little to do against splitpushing pressure

I'm a little bit worried about Svenskeren this game. He won't be able to be nearly as impactful early on as he can with Jarvan. I also cannot recall him doing anything super amazing with Nasus... But maybe he'll surprise me.

Well, Nasus has no decisions in his kit. You rush in, pop ult, wither the AD carry and then whack people. Really hard champ

Always thought Nasus had a really awesome champion concept with his Q, but he's basically played for insane innate tankiness, Wither and his ridiculous ult damage alone.

Oh man, Bjergsen lost the 1v1 because he didn't Wild Card when xPeke was stunned and used it too late so xPeke could dodge it.

And right after commentator says no one missed skills what

Well, the only pb about CW's comp is that they have no 1vs1 potential against ahri, noct and kha zix (tf too squishy, shen deal no damage, nasus will not build damage either). Their comp is superior for team fights, but that's not what fnatic is going for with this comp.
