Looking supa hot crew's series throw it's not too unreasonable to think that hyrqbot would have gotten back into LCS with SK now. Kev1n wins in the end as he got to stay in LCS by leaving NiP

I feel bad for Zoro, he's been playing superbly whilst Nukeduck and Hyrqbot have been utterly useless both games

Specifically Nukeduck, Zorozero, and Mithy. They had a free pass into LCS with Lemondogs, and they threw it away.

hyrqbot could've stayed with SK as well I guess

If they were so interested in LD players why didn't NiP get Dexter as well but instead got Hyrqbot, he never impressed even with SK.

How could anyone ever impress with the blinding beacon Ocelote on the same team?

They will also hate themselves for picking KMT and not SHC.

Tbh it's been a while since nukeduck has shown better, he doesn't seem to really be sure what he's doing in both terms of picks and gameplay during and after worlds.

I think it is mostly a mentality problem. From the beginning they were in a position where they could only lose. Makes them play WAY too passive and scared. They dont make plays out of fear they could backfire.

They dont try to win, they try not to lose.

I'm sure there are some janitor spots Riot can offer.

Sometimes players or teams simply get very hyped based off scrims/offseason (and actually are very strong) but can't perform when it matters. Expession was the same and Samsung Blue also were kind of known for that type of thing.

Just tuned in and can't believe the score... NIP has an amazing roster but experience playing as a team seems really important.

Plus, Polish teams have a history of really showing up to play at LANs. I feel like picking them might have been a blunder by NiP.

CLG has built an entire team model around it.
