Huge night for Neo Blaze. If they can beat the Bullets, I think Daydream/Baeme/Toffee will probably stay on as starters. If they falter, then I can see Blaze looking for new options with Maknoon now as Frost's mid lane.

In terms of just solo queue, Blaze might be the best team in Korea. I think every single player on their roster outside Lustboy are in Challenger.

It is gonna be a really tough night for them. The Bullets have imo a lot more synergy, and if I am not mistaken, Blaze have never won a series vs the Bullets in their entire history. Should be a decent set.

can't really see them beating ktb given how they struggled against frost. cj teams as a whole seem to play a lot of solo q, maybe that's a part of the problem wtih respect to their training method

Who knows. Baeme, Toffee and Daydream are playing for jobs. They're not officially Blaze members, so a loss tonight could mean them getting cut.

i mean i hope cj is more patient with the new guys. going up against ktb is no easy task when they are essentially immediately thrown onto the team straight from solo q. there's also ogn winter coming up.

Seeing as Lustboy is now captain and CptJack's inconsistency, I think they'll stick with Toffee win or lose as the starter. Him and Lustboy have been practicing non-stop on duo queue. I think Baeme has the most pressure on him. Ambition, even with his slump, was Korea's all star and one of the most well regarded players in Korean League history. He was decent in his debut, but got beat by Rapidstar -- RAPIDSTAR! -- in lane against Frost.

Hopefully he pulls out his famed Orianna and rolls Ryu tonight. He needs a breakthrough performance to confirm his spot as Blaze's new mid.

Korea just lacks strong unclaimed mids atm? So strange to see the CJ teams struggling with their rosters.

easyhoon is still a free agent. he was like the 4th best mid in the spring season, but then fell off a cliff in summer and then got kicked for wonseok from mig blitz -- who, to be honest, is really fucking good and makes Samsung Blue really scary with him + Deft.
