NiP is perfect example of EU retardness. Good players with huge egos that will never lane swap/rotate and will lane for 40 minutes, because they think they are better then their opponents.
NiP splitting is probably the best thing that can happend for Western scene. 4/5 players should end up sooner or later in LCS.

Nukeduck best mid last season? Bettter than Alex, better than Bjerg? I dunno. Still, I don't think there's that much mid talent in EU right now who's clearly better than him? Froggen, Alex, Overpow, Febiven, anyone else? That's why I'd like to see him on CW, not only possible fight with Forgiven but he might be just what the team needs to prove they are underrated.
Americans don't like to use unblockables, it is considered not honest. You press a button at the wrong time and hit the other person, you are random, not a top player. You DP Sim's far fierce, it is random and not honest.

nukeduck is good but he seems to tilt harder than I would consider acceptable for picking someone up

Bjergsen is one-kill-pony, and considering what was happening with NiP last season, nah. NiP were struggling - Bjergsen was struggling, NiP with extinkt were rolling - Bjergsen was rolling.
Alex wasn't incredible last split either, not speaking about Froggen and xPeke, especially first, who was trying to carry dead horse which suddenly became alive in last 2 weeks of split and playoffs.

nukeduck was abusing meta hard, his TF, Fizz, Ahri and Zed were sick as well as other assassins, his mechanics are really immense and because of dexter's ability to be that link between laning phase and late game, LD were winning games because of lane domination and not derping like NiP.

That's really sad that team with such talents is out because they can't find legit jungler. They could easily win even without their shit shotcalling tonight if Hulberto didn't fail every 50/50 smite.

If there is one who tilts in NiP it's Zorozero, not nukeduck.
Zoro is like Genja when Gambit are struggling in game - my team is losing, time to farm and try to carry. It almost never works but mindset is same always.

TBH I was never impressed by Zorozero, I think he's overrated as fuck.

Creaton said in his interview after the series that he was very unhappy with his performance and currently lacks the motivation to play the game (along the lines of "after three games I don't want to play anymore"). I hope he gets his motivation and mojo back soon and can get on the level of play prior to his hand injury.

If he doesn't get his motivation back, maybe even Freeze could step in? Nip seems to have very skilled individual players but lack guidance or a strong analyst helping them draft and theorycraft.

I think after this serie we can safely say that it was a battle for being in the relegation zone of Summer Split.

How the fuck did that happen?

I had to leave after game 1 and just checked the results to confirm the 3:0 for NiP. They were so dominant in game one and Millenium looked terrible.

NiP have zero mental fortitude and only know how to play one single playstyle. So what does MIL do? They played into NiP's forte and did it better. Also, none of these games have any semblance of competent rotations.

That said, Zorozero for CLG wouldn't be bad imo. But what it's going to have to happen in order for NiP sign him over, I'm not entirely confident on it happening.

Out of the NA options, Shiphtur would be king but I'm liking Coast's chances of returning to the LCS. mandatorycloud would be nice if he could return to former form. But both these NA options requires Link to move top and I have mixed feelings about yet another role swap for the team.

Anyone want to take a stab at possible NA top lanes for CLG?

Out of all the EU top lanes to move to NA, my dream pick would have actually been kev1n. So under-rated.

How does that prove nuke was individually a better player than the afromentioned? Of course Bjergsen couldn't be on top of his game with all the roster changes, but Alex was playing all the same champs on top of occasional Karthus and creating highlight reels with Kha, I would hardly blame GMB's three losses that separated them from LD on him. I mean, nuke is a very good player and I'd love to see him on Wolves, I just don't think he was cut above the rest even last season.

If CLG Zoro doesn't happen then I'd love him to join Wolves too btw, people are underrating him for some reason :|

Ugh, I can't endorse stalling to late game being a team's "forte" when they friggin' draft Irelia, Eve, Corki, and other early/midgame picks, especially several times in a row. I didn't expect much from these teams in terms of decision-making so NiP's awful drafting phase was really what shocked me.
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.

It's what they do best. I didn't say they did it correctly. Everyone knows NiP games always go to 50+ minutes.

Nukeduck didn't have games where he hadn't performed. Even in Lemondogs losses after Tenerife.
And as we all know, Bjergsen, Alex and xPeke all have those off games sometimes when they have no idea what are they doing and what to do next.

I dunno, Zoro is really off in every bo5 NiP plays. He wasn't a factor yesterday, he wasn't a factor in series against KMT and he wasn't stepping up huge against C9E. Probably, he's not one who CLG needs.
kev1n on the other hand stepped up huge yesterday, when it matters most.

I don't remember all of LD games and whether Nukeduck really didn't underperform even once, but maybe you're right. I think drafts made Zoro look like he performed worse than he really did, Irelia into Ryze, Shyvana into Jax and Irelia - hard to shine in these. His G1 was very impressive.
