I think after second series of games against Fnatic (namely with Gambit, Roccat, perhaps CW, maybe Millenium or Alliance) we'll be able to tell how far ahead they are compared to the rest of the region. Alternate went 7-1 last season, so it's absolutely possible to have amazing first run and fall off later.

It's a lot of burst.
eve ulti + botrk active + E + double botrk hit (due to E) + SotEL burn, that's like 60% hp of a single target. Which is more than enough for Jinx to ulti execute.

Can fnatic be stopped? Even with sloppy play and missing 2 bans they still managed to beat CW. If xpeke doesn't show up, then rekkles and soaz is there to keep um in the game. If rekkles gets shutdown, soaz and xpeke there, etc etc.

Yes they can. Many of the matches Fnatic won were pretty close, and imo they are somewhat lucky to be 7-0. They dont look unbeatable at all.

Well, the blade eve let them 2-man baron so... all-planned.

I think Gambit should probably stop playing Eve, they won that game, but Diamond seems more impactful on other junglers. Udyr pls.

Time for Shook to prove his worth now that he has his Lee Sin.

Again, what's with teams picking trundle before their top is shown. He's not some end all good vs everything top.
Well it's vs renekton so I guess its okay

If renekton starts Hydra, he'll stomp trundle pretty hard.

But I agree, it's so weird why people picking trundle into a blind lane matchup. what's even worse is people aren't abusing his bad matchups.

Decent pick/ban phase for Alliance, i'm satisfied.
Shook and Froggen can smash Jesiz and Svenskeren ezpz, and it's free win.

Maybe one day we will have an Alliance game without a pause at start but I seriously doubt it.

I hope Shook finally finds his form and shows what he can do. In solo queue / team queue you see him make such insane plays again and again, especially on Lee. Almost nothing of that in LCS so far.
Nyph can also play way better than he has shown so far.
