Reasoning is that by not having k0u SHC will 99% pick them and this way they will avoid Millenium which are miles ahead of SHC atm even without kottenx on kha. C9E with k0u will smash almost every LCS team, if he could be able to play they would have rolled in Summer. But C9E without k0u got rolled by Denial which got smashed by NiP yesterday and back in EUCS #2 Finals like Denial are silvers. However, Lemondogs dropped MrRallez because of age being SNS back in Promotions and switched Tabzz, so probably they have good chance to find some new star. | ||

The Nip-M matchup will probably be like 50-50 but i hope the good M arrives and prevails. Millenium plays entertaining style and are nice guys while Nip n/c. Denial doesnt seem like a team which can enter LCS but miracles can happen. | ||

Also Febiven quit school last month or so, because he is going all in and their only goal is LCS. That doesn't really change what I said. Whether they went back to k0u because "first things first, let's get top3 in challenger and THEN try to find a jungler who we will be able to qualify with" or "other jungler didn't work and we have only few months to find and synergize with a new one, let's just scrap S4 and start preparing for S5" is mere speculation. Didn't know about Febiven, this makes my version of things less likely, unless he quit not to join LCS, but to train more so that he's best mid EU by S5... But yeah, you're probably right. | ||

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. I don't think that's the case. It's not like progamers have long careers to work around anyway, especially with form being so fickle compared to other sports. That is, I don't think they picked k0u so they can have a good shot of making it in Season 5. I think they picked k0u so that they will at least have the chance to make it in Season 4. That's a perfectly logical decision and it's much better than gambling with a whole new jungler to make it to promotions. They will have to gamble in promotions anyway, but they still hedged their bets in the best way available to them. If they fail they will probably pick k0u up again like you said. It's not long term thinking, it's a safe hedge with no real negative consequences assuming they didn't believe they can make it with a new jungler anyway even with more preparation time. | ||

I don't think they won't get k0u back in autumn, it will be like Rekkles with Fnatic. On April 12 2014 11:18 TitusVI wrote: So tomorrow we'll see who of the 4 Na teams go to promotion. interesting. Nothing interesting, to be honest. CA will be smashed again by C9T like back in NACS #2, and CLB will be 2x20 by LoMoQ. I will laugh tho, if CA wins against CLB next day and Curse who finishes 6th will choose them to play against. And lose. | ||

at least they won't have to go through the trouble to find a new organisation/teamname then. | ||

Still want Coast-C9T and EG-CLB, can challengers take their revenge or no. And if C9E fails to get into LCS, i want C9T to get in just to see what did Jack and Dan create to cover their teams. Team which was called "Children of I Will Dominate" will just smash IWD and send him to Challenger scene. Exciting stuff. | ||

You got this wrong, its CLB vs C9T and CA vs LMQ. And CLB vs C9T can definitely go either way, while CA will most likely end 4th. | ||

Unless C9T has improved A LOT, it's going to be a toss up between clb and c9t. Both teams have their random burst of amazing play, then pretty mediocre follow ups afterwards. For C9T, I'm not sure about Yazuki at all. I've seen him play oddly. For CLB, there will always be westrice. He's been at this point so many times before, and his performances is really hit or miss. I don't know if it's nerves or what, but he doesn't always play the best when he is in these types of matches. I'm also not a fan of brokenshard as a jungler. | ||
