Eve is banned and picked. Nice. Yeah, wait a second, wtf. Whoever controls the overlay screwed up. It seems to be done manually considering the delay when it pops up. For example, the third ban for NiP pops up after the first pick by c9E. Check the youtube Ohhhh! Ok, I thought it was behaving weirdly before someone pointed out the Eve ban and pick.
Yea, I mostly checked it because someone mentioned it. It doesn't make sense for it to be legit, since teams would request a remake ASAP if a banned champion got picked.
Looks like C9E aren't really a fluke. They've consistently beaten NiP who people have said are the strongest challenger team.

What's on the line for the first/second place match? I thought the LCS relegated teams get to choose who they're playing, so what advantage does being 1st challenge give you?

6k bucks, so C9E can give more money to k0u for being out of age.

Nuke is such a good player, but why he never play meta champion.

What is meta, lol?
He dislikes farming champions, except for Lulu and LeBlanc/Zed were banned i assume.
He tried Ahri before and lost, so time to go to lovely Fizz, why not.
Champion pools right now in competitive scene are way bigger than seasons before when there were 3-4 champions and you were rotating between them.

You need to be able to play Ziggs and Nidalee in current meta.

I guess, it's hard to not be able to play Ziggs, but as i said, he prefers assassins to Ziggs and you don't need Ziggs in every comp either.
And i assume he can play Nidalee as well, it's just banned in every game this series except for last and Nidalee will be getting banned more and more because she's new #1 mid again after Lulu nerf.

Watch this on Azubu, no stream troubles like Twitch.

Twitch stream so slideshow but it looks like NiP just wiped the floor with C9E?

Twitch is back up
C9E is leading the series 2-0, but NiP is wrecking this game.

Srsly, nothing changed about NiP in those months, even Lemondogs were same.
- We got advantage from start? We snowball, we roll.
- We got rolled from start? Gg, we can't come back.
They're like Curse in strategic case but with way higher individual skill.
Knowing that Millenium is absolute streaky team (or they go ultrafeed, or they go ultrarape), time for NiP fans to get worried l0l.
Lol, k0u :DD

Oh my god Kou. Pls comeback

These recap vids have really been improved. Fast editing to get them on broadcast like that.

For all the shit C9.EU are getting for sticking with k0u, I think it's smart - they are practicing with a team that works well together and guaranteeing one of the best EU junglers to play with them in S5. Meanwhile they can keep racking up the challenger prizepool and it's not like they would do hot in LCS without k0u. I applaud long-term thinking.

They tried other jungler and Denial just smashed them in EUCS #2.
I'm scared that they won't be able to adapt to new jungler before Promotions.

My point is that I don't think they will and I don't think they care. They will just hope they randomly get another great jungler that somehow synergises well with them and if not, then, well, it's just another 9 months of challenger scene with k0u and then he's 17 and they can join LCS. I'd be really suprised if they just wanted to win Challenger Series so badly that they thought they can just get a new jungler after them.

Dunno, i don't think they will throw in Promotions. Febiven can win alone against SHC, if Hjarnan and Voidle won't go ultrafeed.
It's like Fnatic with Rekkles but Fnatic is a bit different story.

You are wrong. They only went back to k0u, because they were losing every game without him and weren't sure if they can finish top 3. Also Febiven quit school last month or so, because he is going all in and their only goal is LCS.
