It makes sense though. NDX is just making a durable scarecrow just so he can stay alive to Terrify as often as possible. He's not building for damage.

Fiddle has a ton of damage without building AP anyways. Crowstorm+Drain just has some insane amounts of base damage.

Survivability > damage always on fiddle. If you live long enough to get off two fears instead of three that will win you most fights.

Damn, Cloud 9's first 3 games vs Dig, TSM, Crs. A pretty rough start for them .

Some really good games tomorrow. I'm mostly wondering if CLG will fail horribly tomorrow and wether Velocity can show their potential against actually decent opponents. Predicting C9 to also go up 3-0

Pretty sure they're ok with it. There's no point at all for listen-ins if they're censored. Point is to convey passion and intensity.

I like that but I always thought they wanted to keep the production pg13.

Well Coast looked similar to how I expected them to... TSM beat them pretty easily, and they turned around and beat Vulcun pretty well. ZionSpartan is really such a beast though, glad to see him still dominating.

I can't figure out who to cheer for besides Coast.... thought I was going to cheer for TSM as well, but I may end up joining the C9 bandwagon, glad they pulled out the kennen, and their play just looked so solid both games.

So I missed the first game. I'm not sure where nintendude got the idea to stack health on nunu, and to max q first, but that is simple wrong.

I'm going to start calling them, lovingly mind you, Koreaboos.

TSM, this is what you should have been. I am disappoint.

This split of lcs is awesome. I have a favorite player on each team (except tsm). Zionspartan soon to be the best top laner in NA imo. He plays so fucking hyphie

So even though Curse lost I'm still pretty pleased with the state of the team. Edward is still a beast so that was nice to see. Saint got caught out randomly several times against Vulcun so hopefully he cleans up his play a bit. This iteration of Curse has the potential to be better than last split, I guess we'll see how they develop.

How did C9 play vs TSM? any special picks or strats, or just outplaying them?

The more and more I see the NA teams play, the more and more I'm certain they need to work on their nerves issues. It effects them a lot more than any other scene I've seen. The all-star game against Korea/China proves this.

Prime example is StV. SaintV has so much experience, but he definitely suffers from this. Don't know of anyone who is known for missing smites as much as StV has. There's such a huge lack of concentration, it's really impossible to say it's just bad judgement. Somethings are easier to see while spectating, but he definitely makes some of the weirdest choices when under pressure(recall that StV recall while 3-4 enemy members were on the same screen as his in the All-star game)
