Wonderful is alway sipping too much CLG kool-aid, but at least he contributes to the discussion instead of just antagonizing people.

I thought Dig had somehow fixed their shot calling problems by adding Zion and Shiphtur...
That probably doesn't match yours though... yikes....

I guess, we all just need to jump on our NaMei/Cool/GPL bandwagon and don't watch NA LCS anymore.
On less serious note, when noone pressures T8 in first 15 minutes of the game, usually T8 win. Nice rotations, maplestreet.

LOL. BECUZ KOREAN I love how monte criticized TSM for picking up amazing but they easily had the biggest bust of all time and their scouting during the tryouts was clearly terrible seraph IS a good player but its the fault of the coaching/team to consistently put him on shit like maokai/lulu instead of what he excels at. He plays very well on champs like nid/yasuo/etc... Good player is able to play meta champions and have impact on the game. yep. I don't think he is that good of a player. The language barrier is a problem also. seraph was a bad pick in general. and yet when I said that multiple times in the past, all i got were fanboys yelling at me with fifty million excuses but to be fair, Seraph is probably the least of CLG's problems. Link has been really underwhelming/non-existent for a long long time. Dexter has also been playing quite bad - he seems to have absolutely no confidence in his play. You can see it in how scared and cautious he plays in almost every single game. Honestly the problem with CLG has always been Double. Every iteration of the team falls into the exact same issue. Think it's about time we stopped ignoring the only consistent link throughout all the iterations. Do you mean because he is toxic / creates a bad team atmosphere? I dont think we know enough to conclude that. His play is not bad and not outstanding imo, average LCS level. But he was probably also responsible for how CLG constantly overrated themselves. There always seemed to be a rift between their perception and reality. I meaa it is a team that never reached a LCS final, they were 5, 5, 3 so far. Just an average LCS team, but always talked like competition in NA doesnt even matter, goal was great performance at worlds (not just getting to worlds), bottom LCS teams are laughably bad etc. My favorite statistic has to be "Doublelift has never won a LAN tournament." to be completely fair, that's not exactly the best way to gauge a player, especially in a team game. I mean, look at BW. Yellow was widely considered to be one of, if not the best player during his peak, despite never being able to beat Boxer or win an OSL/MSL. In Dota 2, Burning is widely considered the best carry player of all time, but he only has one major tournament win in Dota 2.
I actually think Doublelift is a problem, not in a vacuum, but because the hype makes the team pretend it needs to change less. All season it was Dlift/Aphro is #1 NA botlane (and some people were saying #1 Western Botlane), so they think you can just support that and create a successful team considering "NA is trash".
That said, they should get rid Doublelift just because of the false promise of his "mechanics" or something when he still is a total derper.

Impactful is a beast, to think at one point chaox was considered over him Pleasantly surprised by CA already

I just dont understand why the best 2v2 botlane and the best 1v1 laner NA team has doublelift going solo top/bot and aphro/seraph in a 2v2.

Dignitas will choose T8, i'm almost sure after this game. So, EG-CA and coL-Coast.
All three survive if Coast plays like yesterday, if suddenly they're getting improved, then probably, something like 30% for Coast.

The best 1v1 laner...?

CA-coL will be such boredomfest, rofl. I really hope it's not going to happen or Kubz just punches Robert and Westrice before the games and coL go hard since minute 1.
Still, not favouring any NACS team, T8 might have best chances to upset Dignitas but skill difference is just too big if Calitrolz chokes. It's probably worst draw for Coast if they're getting chosen by EG, it's like, if in other matches they can get 1-2 wins, against EG it's just going to be 0-3 sweep.

Still, it's hard to expect CLG to bomb out in relegations hardcore mode, especially considering that relegations are right before Worlds, not on completely different patch in few months or something like that.

You would think that Dig deals with their loss better.

Dig definitely hypes themselves up less so think they should deal with it alright. They gave it a good shot and really had a strong chance of winning. CLG getting stomped like that may just destroy the team.
