I saw this happen in the all star games, and while that works in the essentially solo queue style of all star games, it wouldn't work with an organized team that's going to respond to Chinese freight trains with objective pushes.

CLG.eu stall so hard their series has to go over 2 days, never forget Season 2 Championship is still my favorite LoL event of all time, so memorable IPL... Oh well I didn't get to watch a lot of that I'm afraid so I can't honestly comment. IPL is also one of my favourite events. Production was really good for its time and there was a lot of drama and story going into it, plus some of the matches were ridiculous.
Also, just putting this out there, I predicted the S3 rise of assassins and aggressive mids in our TL writeup.

They had their super team with Namei and Sicca at WCG and got bodied by Blaze.

Why exactly is Cool on the bench? He was beastly on Lee Sin and as a mid laner. Is Xiyang really better then him? Aside from his syndra I haven't been all that impressed by him. Link beat his lulu on Nidalee for crying out loud.
|
Anyone familiar with the Chinese scene know if there are any good junglers around that are available for hire? With all the non-LPL teams, multiple servers that dwarf the other regions' servers in terms of users, shouldn't there be at least a couple of players who don't look like the weakest players on the team in the jungle role? Seriously, no troll answers like Cool, since even non-jungle main players in Korean solo-que have respectable Lee Sin usage.

1. Health issues. 2. Yes Xiyang is better, especially because of Cool's health issues that made him rusty, and from the few games I watch of Xiyang, the guy wrecked face harder than Cool ever did 3. Link beat his lulu because he came to lane after level 1 down a level. He also fucked link in the semis when OMG, you know, wasn't sandbagging

After seeing world elite academy against LPL teams I'm no longer on board their hype train. Chinese jungle scene is pretty much clearlove and the shitters. Jing's retirement put an end to good Chinese junglers being in a plurality.

Chinese junglers in general have been fairly lacklustre in a similar way that NA top laners are. So there's not really much choice for a good jungler.

He impressed me a lot at worlds. If jungler talent is so lacking in China, oughtn't it make more sense to move Allen to jungle and find a new support? There has to be some good supports out there right?

I don't want to sound too stereotypically here, but... Could it be that Chinese culture teaches young people to be followers rather than leaders and act together as an unit so much that there's a lack of good junglers because it's the role that takes command the most? Would also explain why their junglers were so sacrificial in S3.

I'm taking ideas out of the hat because it's suprising that a region with so huge playerbase lacks in a particular role.

That was in the semis lol, game 1...
Anyways, I don't watch LPL so I can't judge on a large body of work but Xiyang has lost lane the majority of games here when he was not on Syndra.

That guy to the left of yellowstar is creepy

keep in mind the jungling is the role thats changed the most in the recent patches and is thus the most uncomfortable role for a chinese to play in this version
