Altec is really going full retard like Vasilii from the previous game. Teleport on a ADC is much more questionable when you can't flank the opposing team because you'll get blown up in 2 seconds and you'll lose lane ezpz.

The other thing is that with C9T's team they want to stay fair close together to stack the Heals, Karma Shields and all that good stuff. It's like being a hedgehog and showing no easy way for LMQ to attack into that clump. The problem is they're all so scared of Ori Ult (and rightfully so) and also some want to dive others want to hang back. So they get separated and sniped off. It doesn't help that with TP on Top+AD Carry they need to stay close and rely on the secondary Heal effect from the others.

You'll remember that fight near LMQ Wraiths around... 15 min (?) when Altec went deep to try and duel Vasili he suddenly found himself face to face with Ori too and no Heal to help him. And died for it.

Bragging rights I suppose. Both teams should be locked into Promotions. The relegated teams choose who they play and even if C9T beats LMQ I don't think anyone still actually wants to play LMQ. So it's still likely going to be XDG v LMQ anyway.

EDIT: Oh yah $6k difference in prize money for 1st and 2nd. So a cool $1200 per player if they get 1st.

Kinda strange these guys don't care about $1200 it's good money for where they're at. It's not like they makin' TSM money.

Yeah I think it's too early to say these guys don't care but man it sure looks that way. TP Lucian, suicide Ezrael, weird rotations and delayed reaction. These guys are just not looking as crisp as yesterday.

??? The heck Soraka ban??? Does XWX even play Soraka?

I wonder if C9T knows something we don't from scrims and they're trying to next level LMQ. Also, if they can practise pocket super strats and refine them in time for Promotions the LCS contract is worth WAY more than $1.2k.

I already hate this draft for C9T. Giving nid away . . . there's no way xwx's soraka is more threatening.

I can foresee a lot of top lane camping just like in the previous game. Renekton + Lee Sin will eat Jax up early game.

LMQ's willingness to dive as 5 so early is so fun to watch.

C9T early game shenanigans caught LMQ a little off guard, but then they tried to press an advantage that was much smaller than they thought and paid for it. A few good spears from LMQ and a some good fundamentals in fights and the game begins to snowball in their favor.

I gotta say Noname has steadily been stepping up. China's jungle meta is so bad they have to come to NA to learn it X_X.

A little disappointed neither Phreak nor Kobe has mentioned the problem of scaling for LMQ... Renekton and Lee are trash late game. Lucian vs. Corki is a wash. Both Eve and Jax outscale their counterpart hard. Syndra vs Nid... I have no idea.

Yeah, Royal losing to SKT was almost solely due to their jungler being almost completely ineffective.
