They aren't even putting up a fight and stretching games out that they have no business being in. I can't say that there is 1 area of the game that they are playing well in. Also, shut up jeff. | ||

Plus his champion pool seems so small, like he's played Kha mid twice now and it didn't really do much in either game. He needs to work on his pool, especially now with other teams probably IDing this weakness on c9 and punishing them for it. | ||

While I think dig is still the best NA team atm, CLG isn't that far behind. CLG's weakness is still the top lane, Seraph isn't the amazeballs top lane KR that we all thought he was going to be (if you believed the hype) but I think there's still room for improvement for Seraph. Today's CLG v dig game + Show Spoiler + just reinforces the fact that CLG has superior late game team calls. It's not just hot air imo | ||

It's not just hot air imo The CLG vs DIG game is one that's definitely worth watching/rewatching and taking notes from for multiple teams to learn from, both for the ognTSM rotations and how to play your team comp to the fullest. | ||

That said, Seraph seems to have nerves and communication issues with team. In the game vs Dig, he looked flustered at the end of the game. He suicided with the Shyvana ult while the rest of CLG was disengaging. His ult also missed all of the team and didn't hit anything. As always with CLG, potential intensifies and I'm sure Seraph will shine in time. | ||

Like there's nothing wrong with having a weak link on a team when all the other players are so good, but you do want to have said weak links show some signs of life or ability to carry a game, as right now I don't think Hai could carry a bag of salt, much less his team in a tight match. | ||

In regards to the above seraph convo. The dude's definitely feeling a lot of pressure. Liftlift mentions here he was throwing up after the game. | ||

Dig made mistakes, because they were forced to make tough decisions by CLG. It's not like dig randomly walked into clg and died. Clg forced dig to hesitate and make poor decisions by applying correct map pressure in botlane. If it was any team other than clg in the same position as they were in that game. DIG would have won. | ||

On top of that, they may not have prioritize doublelift so much that he can just run around afk farming and doesn't rotate, but jungle, roam, and farm presence is still being focused on him. Like he's not the Korean god everyone expect him to be, but he's not doing that bad that everyone should just bag on him. Dude's in a new country, let him be for a bit. | ||

I give credit where it's due. CLG teetered on a fine line with their poke comp. If they were ever caught out, dig would've steamrolled CLG in a team fight. You can say that dig was the one that committed mistakes but CLG played their part near perfectly. | ||

CLG hasn't lost a game because of Seraph yet. I think that's all anyone can ask of him atm. Over time, perhaps he can carry from top. We shall see. | ||

As for the game, really, I'm just hella mad at Dig's draft. It was good for CLG to be able to last pick Nidalee, and they punished Dig's draft well by doing so, but since Link played a lot of Ziggs and Nidalee Dignitas should have kept that in mind and drafted some hard initiation to go with their teamfight comp. All of their picks were nice in a fight, but had no way to get into one (Nami included). Hell, they have stealthy Qtpie scout out to try and get a E off, with a positioning that'd be Zuna-like without the stealth, because they didn't have anything to force a fight. Kayle, Nami, etc. can help picks, but CLG had Morgana, Lucian can just dodge a skillshot or remove Kayle's slow, and all in all these spells were far too short range for CLG's champions. Sure, CLG didn't fluke. But Dignitas gave up so much pressure and gave CLG such an "innate" advantage with their draft... and then they tried to trade objectives against Nidalee. Protect the towers instead, the more of them you force CLG to siege, the more opportunities you have to catch them, the harder you make it for them. With a decent teamfight win Kayle would utterly wrecked the towers anyway, it's not like you need to kill CLG's asap or anything. But they failed at it, and with their shit draft it meant they were desperate to get a catch. I'm so damn salty. | ||

I don't know if it's still him recovering but he just never seems to win in lane, only breaking even or loses, but because he roams at the right times he's able to snowball top or bot (usually with Meteos) to get kills and objectives and start snowballing Sneaky+Lemon/Balls. Plus his champion pool seems so small, like he's played Kha mid twice now and it didn't really do much in either game. He needs to work on his pool, especially now with other teams probably IDing this weakness on c9 and punishing them for it. Three times. Fizz inc.

Monte was speaking about it. - "Those 4 are just playing out of their mind because they have to help him". Link is really stepping up a lot, i hope, he and Doublelift don't retire after season ;_; This CLG roster is really on their way to be better than that, 2,5 years ago and first. | ||

I honestly think CLG is on the way to be the best they've ever been. If Seraph can get seasoned and battle-hardened, they're prolly #1 NA. Really happy with how Col and EG are putting up fights. Fun to see the old status quo of NA being thrown for a loop! Down with C9=#1! Down with TSM=#2! Down with EG/Col=#7/8! Down with CRS eternity #4! | ||

I think when shivana ults in it should be a team call so that there is a follow up but when shyvana ults in and the rest of the taem is running away it basically says zero communication. | ||

At least, it happened 1 time and not like with Dyrus l0l. That's basically quintessence of CLG and TSM right now, CLG can misplay but still put up a bunch of comeback moves, TSM misplays and fall.

EU is good as well, this LCS split is really nice. | ||
