They may not be the best but their playstyle has been more about early agression and picks than most others.
Yeah, the EG games are usually fairly entertaining.
I really think it's going to be rough for them in the LCS though. Three of their eight wins came from XDG, and I can't see them performing too well against LMQ matchup-wise.
Oddly enough another 3 wins came against Curse, so they still have them to beat up on at least.
I wonder if they'll try to make some roster changes post-relegations.
Yeah was thinking about that as well. First candidate for me was Snoopeh, but he has been doing pretty well lately. YP would probably deserve to be replaced, but this bot lane is not going to break up. Personally I would love Innox to be replaced, because hes way too onedimensional. But I fear that is not gong to happen either.

The difference for me is I see C9T as having some potential. EG, outside of Krepo/Link are just bad and probably getting worse.
Link?
Whoops, Youngbelter obv.
I don't know, when Innox plays Lee Sin and not Mundo/Nidalee he seems ok too.
Everybody looks good on Lee Sin. Any champ with a kit that good simply looks impressive assuming you can land the easy waves.
Lee Sin is pretty far from fotm in toplane though, in fact he's pretty much the only one even playing it. Not to mention he's much harder than Mundo and Nidalee (though that shouldn't be a factor for pro players really).
Cruzer and Zion both played it several times in the LCS. It's fairly popular in pro play.
I think I just happened to miss those games then. I only remember a couple of Innox games and that terrible Dyrus game (vs Coast or XDG?).
Still, he's nowhere near the popularity of Renekton, Shyvana, Ryze, Mundo (though not so much anymore), Irelia and Jax. Not sure I'd consider that fairly popular personally.

We're talking about LCS players here. If you can't play Lee Sin well then you should thank your lucky stars your team is carrying your scrub ass. He is one of the more challenging champions to play well but that doesn't mean you have to be god on him. A good Lee Sin is still damn useful. All of the top laners should have him in their repetoire and there's no excuse not to. He's also far from the only one using him.

Open your eyes and see u so called better individual players getting stomped
Are you illiterate or just dumb? I am clearly acknowledging that the better individual players are getting rolled by team coordination. But I think they would do well if they had someone to teach them how to coordinate better.

Isn't it better of c9t loses then? so they disband and get into teams with better organization/strategy?
EG staying true to their EU origin, waiting for the 20k lead to end the game.
Honestly altec is the only one on the team that is really LCS quality, yazuki just can't play consistent enough to say he is and kez/bischu are just mediocre straight up.

I feel better now. Wise words. Altec can go find a good team. Maybe Bischu, but the midlaner situation in NA is much less abysmal than the ADC spot, especially since he's fighting with Mancloud.

Not consistent is being pretty kind to a guy who couldn't keep Innox from carrying 3 of 4 games.

He can go from clowning ackerman and zionspartan to getting clowned by innox. He has his ups and downs
Welp, I'm happy for the EG guys since they seem like nice people, but they're going to have to make roster changes or they're going to be right back in relegations at the end of the summer.
EPT
Their LCS games are honestly unwatchable for me, though I guess if C9T couldn't beat EG they would have been even worse.
