game 1....
Expession actually played just as bad as Nagne game 1, it just wasn't as visible because many of his mistakes didn't involve him getting killed.
[S3 Worlds] Quarterfinals - Page 214
| Forum Index > LoL Tournaments |
Two things as public notice: 1. + Show Spoiler [Quarterfinals 1 spoiler] + Congrats to Fnatic, they played superbly and glgl to them in the Semis! No one is saying that Fnatic only won because of the level 1 in Game 3. Please keep the nationalistic statements out of our subforum. 2. Riot's Worlds format is atrocious. Let's not beat a dead horse here. I will certainly be talking to Riot's eSports dept about it in the near future. I simply ask everyone to be civil. Humble in victory, graceful in defeat. Enjoy the games~ -Neo, Sept 23rd, 3:20 PM PDT, page 120 | ||

After all they must have paid money to the team for things like this, right? Gambit should have totally forced the team to have a tube of pringles during the matches. | ||

Get more eyes on sponsors than any other team without having to practice. CLG coming out on top. | ||

Najin played like crap as a whole game 1 really. Nagne didn't look good on Ahri and the team looked clueless as to Fizz's damage. | ||

I predicted in the very beginning that Doublelift would be the one NA player to boost his popularity the most during Worlds. | ||

Also, no one with any shred of understanding of the pro scene would cite All-Stars as being indicative of the strength of the regions. EU All-stars failed because they had major communication issues due to different languages. I also find it funny how that one guy was saying he's basing his conclusions on results when the results very clearly show that there is much less of a gap between EU and NA than people thought pre-Worlds.

EDIT: I'm actually rather surprised that Sword knocked out Gambit. Re Sword v Gambit. I dunno really. If we imagine a world where Sword stops picking Nunu because it's a worthless champ (awesome baron steals notwithstanding), I feel like the would have rolled gambit. Their 2v2 lane was absolutely dominant, to the point where as long as they could force that interaction and weren't trying to 4.5v5 (Nunu sucks) it would have been much less competitive. The big news from that match though is that SKT T1 is a heavy favorite from their side of the bracket given how underwhelming Sword looked against a Gambit team that didn't appear to be in top form during groups. Also, I need to apologize to Neo for the (joking) grief I gave for the regions Mod-edit. There have been some awful posts just today, what might have been without the no-nonsense rule reminder is terrifying. Mea culpa. | ||

Wow the games are in nearly 6 hours still? I was so excited for them to start in like one hour hahah I hope Gamma Bears have a good showing. I have no idea how strong they really are, and the only reason I know of their team is because of the Starcraft player Sen. | ||

I mean yes he totally stonewalled the one eve flank, and was generally functional as meat-shield/zone control. There are so so so many other champions that would've been able to bring that to the table as well as the benefit of not being a worthless fucking Nunu after ~10minutes (some hyperbole detected). They didn't even counterjungle with Nunu, and that's like the only thing the champ does well. | ||

And despite some really solid play, he was basically not a factor in solidifying the lead for his team. He got 100% carried by Pray/Cain. You can get some really good (insert AOE ult here) with a myriad of other junglers, why Nunu - ESPECIALLY when your AD carry is Corki? If Genja/Voidle didn't get totally smashed by Pray/Cain, Najin would have been FUCKED with the teamcomp they drafted. Let's go over how badly Gambit's bot lane fucked up: - lol voidle spoiling diamond's perfect lanegank setup - lol voidle catching hooks into both he+genja dying in a pure 2v2 scenario. - Gambit orchestrates a huge gank bot, but voidle suicides for free before anything really happened, Shen uses ult to try and turn the fight, but the fight goes even while Renekton gets an insurmountable lead on Darien (which would have been balanced by objective gold/kill XP if gambit didn't lose a 5v4.) After all that failage (which was ALL bot lane) gambit was done, and all Watch had to do as a jungler was be a warm body. Every lane on Najin was ahead of their counterpart due to bot lanes failing, and they still struggled to close because their comp was shit. | ||
