I think it's more that CST don't do well unless Zion does well so it seems like he's better than he is because he's the sole reason the team win(Well him and Shiphtur I guess?)

are you being real? like he tp'd twice and got himself behind, but go back and watch the nintendude gank one more time (the last confrontation before that baron) and tell me honestly that you think Quas was going to be able to 1v1 that Nasus ever again, he needed ignite to even win then and Nasus could have easily had 50+ more stacks and triforce done by the time ignite was back up.
idk what to say about the rest of the thread, seeing Zion against non-NACL comp has definately made my opinion of him more realistic, but I wouldn't go so far as to call him streaky, both Curse loses they were winning(2nd game reletive to their late ofc) and threw at baron, and in the two games they won he was unstoppable. He obviously needs to play better for THIS team to win, but I don't think he's playing poorly.

Admittedly, I probably just have this super romanticized biased for the idea of a someone hard carrying the rest of hist team.

You really want to risk playing against Alien Allstars with ZionSpartan, IWD, Pobelter, Cop and Kiwikid? NA Alien Allstars for me would be. ZSpartan, Bjergsen (let's be honest, pobelter as his best, is nowhere close to bjergsen at his best), Xmithie (jangle) (when this guy is on point, he's fucking on the fucking point), WT + xpecial. Maybe WT+daydream?

Guess subjugation under aliens can't really be worse than what we do to ourselves. Smart call JonGalt.

plus I'm probably pretty safe here in Lesotho.
let's be honest. if aliens have any interest in Lesotho we've either already lost, or we have a very good chance of winning.

Well Lesotho is pretty close to my home so i hope so ;(

I'm not sure that Bjergsen will be able to play for NA lol. But if possible, it will be Balls, Meteos, Bjergsen, Doublelift and Xpecial for sure. Fans can put Dyrus instead of Balls and aphromoo instead of Xpecial, no other changes can be done if NA want something.

Even after the qtpie interview, people were laughing at how they thought qtpie was bullshitting that he thought Dig could be a top tier team with current lineup.
never doubt the donger.

Lets see if they will let Innox play a tanky top laner this game lol

The damn 0-2 to Alliance was an embarrassment of colossal proportions. It was shamefru dispray
Then Alliance went 0-4 in EU LCS week 1.
