Why so many no votes? The games were good and quite close both times!

Plus, Edward's NA Thresh play hasn't really been very impressive.

He's more of the Mermaid King now.

A coach can only do so much, at some point the players have to be held accountable as well. Their in-game decision making and playmaking was pretty close to solo queue level at some points.

EDIT: And he's an analyst not a coach (I think)

what the fuck


Apparently Monte didn't talk tot hem about actual game strategy and just told them compositions that didn't really change how they play from season 2 at all. Vayne/Malphite/Orianna is exactly the type of thing they'd do in S2 and they played like they were in S2 (farm city). Having a god awful support for a pro player miss every key crescendo doesn't help that either. They need to change things up but I honestly hope they're relegated so they can wake up a bit.

I'm sure he has, but they just keep forgetting or ignoring it. There have been random games in the later part of the season where it seemed like they were improving in terms of objectives and map pressure and won decisively, and I sincerely had hope for CLG. But after every good phase, they just regress and lose all the progress they made. I just don't get it.

No. What CLG needs to do is fucking KEEP A ROSTER and consistently WORK ON IT and not throw a plan overboard when it doesn't work out every 3 months. My opinion.

Chauster is there for what, 2 years now? More? You can't train someone who is T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E. Pick a random challenger support and I garen-tee you he will outclass him. Not that it's a big feat or anything.

Chauster was pretty good when CLG was in KR and before be went to the jungle. His Ali was scary.

Yeah, so Chauster reached his skill-cap 15 months ago whil everyone else around him improved leaps and bounds (well maybe not everyone, especially in the immediate vicinity ~~)

His play now is worse than it's ever been. Maybe it's "I used to be good" mentality. Maybe it's something else. I don't know and it's not my place to speculate. his play was bad.

More pressing is the fact that CLG decision making still has a lot of flaws which is disappointing.

I honestly thought the presence of nydushermain would pressure chauster into getting better (Look at how snoopeh improved bounds with the pressure of shacker on EG) but it seems to haven't I wouldn't be surprised if chausterlift just refused to allow nydushermain to actually be tried out as a main support and just have him because you gotta have subs or something.

I honestly went from dying of laughter to cringing with embarrassment during that series. I expect this series to be worse. I'm not sure if my body is ready.

People thought Nien played well? Yes, he farmed his Q a crapton but literally did nothing around the map. Any diamond player can just island farm around the map and just run into team fights Qing people with tank items. Withering Caitlyn only goes so far with a team comp like that.

I mean, if a team competing for fricking WORLDS we might even criticize Sona players for not doing the best possible Sona ults, because even little things like that (hitting 1 less guy, using it 0.5 seconds too early/late) can decide the fate of a teamfight.

Thank God I don't have to watch any more CLG anywhere close to the top of NA. Hopefully Vulcan/C9 win out and we get two teams that can actually compete at worlds.


Both of them will get crushed.

He is not even in America. I'm not even sure he has met the team in person since he started as their ANALYST.

There's really a lot that's exposed there. Those sona ults were painfully unacceptable. But CLG's in game shotcalling (whoever is doing it), is equally horrific. They rotate slowly, plan wave pushes poorly, don't contest Monopoly Dragon etc etc. The decision making could come right out of my (wood league) solo queue games, and that's stunning for a team that's been pro for so long.

Xpecial looks like he has so much adrenalin right now. Keeps dancing/shaking.
