Who the fuck bans kayle against korean teams? The fuck?


Remember they've been playing like 2-3 patches behind, kayle was pretty terror back then so it might just be them being used to banning her.

Also Yasuo

WTF do these teams practice?


I blame the way LoL champ select works. Having each person pick instead of just having a captain have the final decision leads to a lot of stupidity. I doubt Puppey would let his team pick some retarded shit, he just picks whatever he feels can win.

pointless excuse. If you have a player ignore his own team and weeks of preparation by picking a different champion he has no place being on an stage be it international or local.



Oh I know it's terrible but this has happened so many times now. Almost always hear teams talk about how they choked in champs select and just scrapped their gameplan at the last minute.


maybe thats the secret of c9. Whenever champ select goes up one of them has a paper in his hands because they probably prepared all kind of pick/ban situations.

I feel like both Deman and Joe are confusing Mafa with Mata, especially when Deman talked about how Mafa is an incredible thresh player.

Weak draft by KTB, so if iG doesn't choke too hard on execution they might actually do well.

Let the shitlord showdown begin.

Not having the team's captain calling the picks in a competitive team is dumb anyway, regardless of who physically does it.


This is why it was really funny when TSM "role swapped" regi to top lane so dyrus couldn't pull stupid shit on him. It was just so Regi could control his team's pick/bans. I guess they had dissenting opinions, and dyrus chose wrongly. lolol


Don't they use communication during champ select?


There were disagreements which as first pick Dyrus could always get his viewpoint on, since he could just pick the champion and lock in.

iirc, that was when Xpecial was trying to do some decision making instead of Regi and Chaox was still on the team.


Oh was it really that long ago? They were super dysfunctional.

I still remember when regi made xpecial cry over one of the ban/pick phases after the game

... what?

Basically Fnatic fell into the most standard LPL bait, textbook style ROFL.

Since you watch at least some LPL, are there any matches/Bo2/teams so far you'd recommend as being representative of the "Chinese playstyle/meta", or whatever comes close to it? Gamepedia seems to have at least some VoDs of the first weeks so it's accessible (no commentary for most of us tho obv.).
