Also loud criticisms of the lack of international tourneys.
I hope so, i also hope the involve other reagions and not just NA/EU.

Want to see how Brazil's doing in English language commentary/competition.

Gambit is sometimes inconsistent too, remember they lose to curse with RHUX as SUB.

By the way, does anyone know if Coke League teams are allowed to compete in other tournaments? Like EPS and so on

idk man there were a few plays where he showed exceptional game sense and mechanics, the fight where he traded 1 for 1 in game 2 when balls got caught, and the fight where they went 2 for 0 when balls threw down the ult, i think khazix is one of his mains but still he played much better than i expected both games. NA has a lot of good mids in LCS now though, Hai wasn't a mid main to begin with so we'll see how he does vs. godbelter.

But probably yes. Not LCS.

So anyone know what's up with the Karthus and Kog bans? I didn't watch/follow NACL so I dunno anything bout Cog.

Not to be to weird but his play reminds me greatly of LD last season. Focus heavily on assassins and getting that lead early on by roaming and Jungle support.

Fixed.
This mid lane Voyboy actually has me really worried. Hopefully their new lineup works out, they were the first team I followed and I want them to do well again.

AP Kog and Karthus games from Zamphira were pretty oppressive, and he's their obi-wan.
