I'm not sure if XGD is terrible because of the swap or because the other teams have just improved so much (I'm being real here) like lets pretend for a moment they could swap back without backlash/rust would they be better than 1 win? I'm not actually sure, Probably? but they look so weak I can't be sure.

who am I kidding? They picked Kha for Zuna when he hadn't even practiced it enough to know how to isolate the red buff.

I think a little bit of both. XDG lost their jungler to adc without having filled the role properly. Also, the fact that teams now have dedicated analysts is showing in LCS games. Teams have better objective control and no longer "throw" or "give away" games when ahead. I remember many times last season when many teams would just aimlessly siege near tower for minutes without results (looking at dignitas mostly), or other teams would just throw at baron. So far, there hasn't been much of that. C9 has also had a harder time eeking wins out this year than last, and I don't think they've gotten worse.
In addition, there's quite a bit more outplaying from individuals as the skills of the players have increased over last season.

Agreed. XDG has stated numerous times they have a big problem closing out and not throwing games. The solution many teams have had to this is to hire an analyst and set up a protocol for what to do in the lategame. XDG's solution was to put one of the best junglers in the NA LCS on adc. In any sport, the best teams put their players in a position where they can succeed. Xmithie had proven himself to be extremely capable as a jungler and removing him from that role just to improve lategame shotcalling really makes no sense to me. Regardless of what you think of Zuna, those 5 players made it to worlds with Xmithie on jungle and Zuna on adc. Hire a coach or analyst if you want lategame strategy to improve.

They do have a coach in kenma but idk what he's doing unless he single handedly turned xmithie from the worst jungler in LCS to top two seeing as throwbargains never stopped.

on another note I'm glad to see someone that isn't Bengi play Nunu to his strengths for once, I really have a soft spot for that champion for some reason.

I'd have to watch the game again to be sure why they lost but with that early lead there had to have been greater mistakes than one meesly flank to throw that one away.

I think I actually heard (had it on 2nd monitor while playing soloQ) that Jatt had some troubles with traffic to be there in time for the challenger broadcast, which means that they cast it from a different location that LCS. So it would make sense that Phreak is there already to prepare for it, which means we only have 1 play by play caster at the lcs studio until pastry time has his visa sorted out

Now that jatt points it out cruzer is the only player on legion to be in LCS in the end. Not what I would have expected for such a hyped team before they disbanded.

Just watched the CRS vs CLG game from yesterday. I feel like a warwick pick over mundo would have been so much more useful. Another AS steroid along with a good pick / counter engage ult. Two long range execute ults with full vision as well.

Laute and Prolly though were playing in LCS and WT is playing right now even though we can't probably consider him as real part of Team Legion.

It's mainly demonlul never making it to LCS that surprised me.
