Even if you're good, you will just get tired after speaking for 2-3 hours without breaks. And he will speak for 8-9 hours lol. Idk what's going on but I guess pastrytime is still held up. Also zekent is adorable he sounds like the mother.
I can sleep while Zekent speaks. Hope Carmac will recruit him for some of IEM casts in future :D
Zoonie on Olaf. GGs.

I think LMQ is really good but I don't think they are worlds ahead of TSM or C9 right now. I mean they weren't considered a top tier team in China. It's not just easy money, but they can be competitive in NA.

And if they dominate, other teams can pull their own level up by playing against them. Afaik they don't have a sister team for their scrimming.

XDG just fucking outcomped the fuck out of Curse.

Give up Olaf, and then not take away Sivir.
Okay...

I am not convinced Pantheon is that strong. Like TF/Noc/etc. he is just annoying to play against due to his semi-global.

Wow no one believes in XDG! :O I can't blame them, but it's not like Curse has looked that great. Better? Yes... but still 83% is surprising.

That was hands down one of the worst Pick/Ban phases I've ever seen in my life.

I will say this about LMQ, people overstate that ackerman made the world finals, he's not some kind of god tier top laner I don't think he's actually that much better than dyrus/balls but like the rest of royal he had a freak overperformance at worlds, he's a mediocre Chinese top which is probabaly good for NA. I still believe LMQ will make LCS and do well but ackerman is already being overrated from what I've read

Please, Curse isn't known for smart pick/ban phase. They are known for choosing champions that fit their own style, and sometimes they choose comps that no one else expects. Alternatively, XDG aren't known for being dumb at champion select. They are known for being a team that throws games.

From what I've heard, it's their botlane that's insanely godly.

If you gunna go FotM comps; XDG simply out comped them as fuck.

Vlad was picked after Gragas? Gragas shit on him so hard.

Yeah, I'm actually stunned at how bad this looks for Crs. If you're playing XDG you might as well ban Olaf at least, I mean, he's the only jungler Zuna can play since he's super strong and his ult means you don't have to dodge skill shots.

Because Curse has bigger fanbase just :D Noone basically was voting for Vulcun last season, when they were dominating force.
I dunno what should happen this game that Curse can win. This Vladimir pick is so weird especially if Voyboy will itemize him same way as in game against C9.

Ackerman is Godlike that's why they're hyping him just because of his Renekton. And tbh he outplayed every toplaner he played against. And he's top-1 in NA soloqueue, no?
Mor is ridiculously good though. I don't think TBD will let him play Leona tonight.

I still believe LMQ will make LCS and do well but ackerman is already being overrated from what I've read LMQ is not top 3 LCS material. People are overestimating them just because they dumpster challenger teams. The discrepancy between challenger and LCS teams is pretty huge. Just look at how hard Coast romped on teams during the off season and how they're doing now.

I see lots of "They have the world finalist top laner he's gonna dominate" which is really overstated, their bot lane definitely lives up to their hype though.

If they can pull their level up, why not doing now? I'm not sure loosing to a far better team makes you a better team. Watch how koreans stomp foreigners in sc2 since years and they are still as bad as ever.
