How many hours of day1 NALCS will it take to get to 67 pages, 2 or 3? to be fair na has better storylines, games, casters, times, personalities, etc. Eu has sjoks and 1hr long stomps. 1- Not better storylines. Just made up sad doublelift drama. 2- Better games? lol. A midrange EU team nowadays is Gambit, a midrange NA team it's Curse or Dignitas. There isn't even competition. 3- Better casters? Phreak and Rivington are literally the cancer of LoL casting. An old remnant of S1 scrappy amaturish LoL tournaments that should have been buried along with them. The goodness of Jatt+Kobe is still not enough to carry these to up to being decent. 4- What does better times even mean? You're from NA and you say NA has "better times". I hope you realize how subjective that sounds. Someone from EU would say the opposite. 5- Alex, Diamond, Peke, Froggen, Soaz, Darien, even Genja who doesn't even talk is a better personality than half of NALCS.
wut? NA storyline so much better.
CLG's visa issues.
TSM Reginaldo comes back and dominates.
Meteos single handidly carrying team.
Shiphtur in elo hell.
Dig with midlane switch back and forth.
XDG's nepotism
Cop + Support of the week.
etc etc. Just way more storylines.
2- NA games way more interesting, meteos backdoor, shiphtur solo carry vs tsm, zspartan jax splitpush 1v3 all day, etc etc.
3- really subjective, but i'd take kobe+phreak+rivington+jatt, over deficio+deman+quickshot+joe.
4-better showing times, more people simply have more access to NA games, weekend is superior to weekday times.
5- again subjective, but it's obvious you're not serious about discussing this by saying genja having more personality than anyone in NA LCS, when he doesn't even speak english or get any screen time.

This preview show is giving me slight deja-vu, are they just replaying the same clip from wednesday? Or are they re-doing the exact same stats~

I'm convinced that ManBaker account is a satire piece designed to counter that other guy (Yeezus) or whoever that only posts about NA.
Every single post from them is just some variation of "EU/NA sux"

Maybe they're the same person.
Has anyone ever seen them in the same room together?

I wonder if neo-regularlywatchesallfiveleagues-illusions was part of this panel
bit surprised to see sneaky

meh, i don't think xpecial has gotten better tbh, he feels the same.

I guess it comes down to how you vote for MVP, I think if you go by, player of the year Bjerg makes sense, but if you go by Most Valuable to the team I don't see how you can't go with Dexter, that team was below average without him and sit in the troika tier above now with him

hard to tell to be honest, cuz dexter coming in also was link getting back into his spot.
i'd give it to meteos. if it wasn't for meteos c9 would be so damn weak.

Link was[mid] on the team in the summer split, they weren't this good. Meteos is arguable tho

shiphtur wasn't that good last split either, but he's a god this split, imo clg's rise has a lot to do with a lot of factors, not just dexter.
the only reason i wouldn't give mvp to bjergsen, is cuz. TSM with regi is still 2nd place NA team, either way. Nothing too much changes with Regi in regards to standings.
Can you really say the same about c9 without meteos?

You can't compare team without coach for 10 weeks and team which is getting coached by the same guy since middle of summer.
GOD DAMN IT, QUICKSHOT.
KOBE, SAVE THE DAY.

Ok, some actual thoughts on 4.5 and the matchups.
Dig vs. Crs:
In terms of the patch affecting toplane I think it's sort of a wash. Quas is more dependable than Cruzer and will probably continue to be. Quas having a deeper champion pool will help, but I'm not sure either of them really had champions that got buffed. Jungle probably favors Crumbz. In soloqueue I believe Crumbz shot up to top 10 in challenger after 4.5 and can play multiple styles, which should favor him over IWD's aggression. Midlane is where Dig should have a good chance to shine. Voyboy's already limited champion pool in mid has shrunk even further with assassins having to deal with heal/exhaust. Meanwhile Scarra can play a mean Soraka and Karthus, and is quite capable of playing the farm heavy style we're seeing. I don't think we'll see a ton of change in botlane. Bunny/Kiwi haven't faced a ton of changes to their champions. Qt may benefit from the heal/shield/protect meta since him going too ham might not be a death sentence. The series will likely come down to Crumbz's and Scarra's performances.
CLG vs. Cst:
Zion vs. Nien heavily favored for Zion, I don't think any patch is going to change that tremendously. Dexter vs. Nintendude is the same, but favored for Dexter. Shiphtur is an excellent midlaner, but he loves assassins and is going to have to show what he can do on farm oriented champions. Link is quite versatile, so I think it will come down to how well Ship has been able to adapt. Aphrolift highly outclass Wizdreaming, and giving Doublelift protection from assassins with heal/exhaust should make him even scarier than usual. I think CLG probably has this just because they outmatch Cst, unless they let Shiphtur have Nidalee all the time or something stupid like that.
