Bullshit. This is like every armchair analyst on ESPN who doesn't know shit about shit. Anybody who has competed at a high level at anything knows this is bull shit.
Now, when things falter mid-game and start taking turns for the worse that can really fuck with your mentality and skill. However, between weeks and whatnot it doesn't matter for a single thing. A lot of CLG's losses can basically be attributed to the basic mistake of not respecting other team's own plans enough. Not their big, overall plans. But the little ones. CLG has great responses to other team's moves, make good rotations, etc... but when there is a lull in the game that seems to be the time when CLG is most vulnerable. When teams are just farming or pushing lanes that has been CLG's bane in recent times. How many times the last few weeks have we seen relatively simple moves by teams force flashes or get kills out of them? A small jungle invade that isn't even looking to get a buff nets a flash or kill every game it seems.
And those little things add up quickly. Suddenly the back they were trying to do is late for dragon or to defend the turret, they can't contest a buff that was going to respawn, etc.

Kobe back on fists again. I think it's a fetish now.

In every team sport I know team mentality has always mattered and lead to huge winning or losing streaks. Games are connected to each other, they dont just exist in a vacuum (I am assuming that is what you are saying). This can among other things be seen in how betting odds change after a game.
And we have heard of problems within CLG (disagreements and general discontent with the games) for some time. I was very surprised then because I didnt think their results were bad. Which is why I think they were expecting too much.

WHY IS KASSADIN NOT BANNED COL WTF????
I guess on paper shiptur is a bad kassadin with his passive play and if they have some specific counter prepared.

Crumbzz rango confirmed too strong

Uh, Kobe, Crumbzz has picked Vi and Noc multiple times already (and usually done pretty badly), why would his "fifth" be J4?

Nunu's consume on golem's counts towards the new SotAG, I did not know. That's nice.
|
I guess even though riot added free wards for lvl1 that doesn't mean people use them lol...

Qtpie kinda dumb if he just used e they wouldve killed and he wouldnt have died :/

I'd be fine with it. At this point Dig can't place high so the more complexity wins the more likely they are to remain in LCS for next season.

Wut,why Evelynn did not save the turret?
|
I hate losing to TSM, but I hate CLG even more.
Please retire double you have been crap for 18 months
|
Never go full Westrice lmao
|
I guess once the outer turrets are gone col needs to show some mid game intelligence.
|
Good teleport cs-master Shiphtur, way to be useless!
|
feels like the s4 changes haven't made comebacks any more likely. It's just that snowballing your lead now takes longer for worse teams, and it's just as easy to get choked out.
