Did Bjerg stomp Mancloud?
:3
Didn't see the game, but I've always thought Mancloud was a bit overrated in NA LCS. Xmithie carrying him too often.
He didn't.

By the way why did the jungler and the ad swap position ? They finished top 3 last season and even went to worlds (lol). Now they are last I think ? Because they'd get huge leads and throw them. They've solved the problem since now they never get a lead and thus cannot throw.
They still throwbargainsed vs dignitas so that wasn't even fixed.

Zuna really shouldn't be jungling for this team. Zuna shouldn't be on the team. I mean, they have Xmithie who can jungle better than Zuna AND play ADC better than Zuna, and they have ScubaChris and RobertXLee on the bench, both of whom can play their respective positions better than Zuna can. They can't even claim "we aren't kicking him because we're a team of friends" like Dignitas did with KiwiKid, because they kicked Muffinqt to the curb the instant a better support became available in BloodWater.

Inb4 they kick someone that isn't Zuna again

I think that is c9's biggest boon vs other NA teams, they are willing to engage dragon fights and trust in their mechanics/coordination to beat out a slightly ahead opponent to turn the game around. Other teams just think "well we're too behind to fight right now, just wait until late game," and then they just lose every objective and lose the game.
I admire C9 for this exact thing, if you look at our game vs them you could see how hard they were fighting back by inching their way onto objectives and fighting for things most teams would give up on. They might not be world class (being real no NALCS team is atm) but they arent far off either.

Yea C9 just know how to play as a team I feel. No matter what happens they will trust in their teamwork and try get some advantage.

Prediction: XDG announces removal of xmithie and mancloud, zoonie to mid and kenma will become the new ADC. Might as well go down in a blaze of hilarity.

This would be the saddest thing. They had so much promise after making worlds and actually acquitting themselves pretty well last year.
Also LOL at OddOne basically saying "yeah... so Zuna was way out of position and sucks".

XDG actually looked their best post worlds vs fucking gambit with that old roster.
All I'm getting from that vid is #FreeJintae

Xpecial is immune because he clearly is the healthiest living guy in the team for years.

Is this whole vid just bad mouthing Jintae?

So why has Coast sucked since Shiphtur joined then, if he's supposed to be such a god?

I played a different game competitively at a high level, and I think very similar concepts apply to league, where aggressive teams that hold the prerogative will be favored to win because they dictate the pace of the game and force the other team to react to their actions. The aggressor advantage in league is even more pronounced in league though, because of the latency in reaction introduced if a team doesn't have vision of the aggressive team.
