They could be in the finals easily.

But God dammit, lol.
CLG bench at Worlds, is it even real world.

We don't have hearts as CLG fans.


Man, rooting for the Notorious P.O.B., young Altec, Helios, and Krepo would've been a blast. With 10 teams though they'll definitely be back. I just hope they drop Innox and get a toplaner who actually practices.


Pobelter is safely top-3 midlaner NA this season with Altec being top-3 ad and Helios being top-3 jungler, even if Krepo retires and they find replacement for InnoX, they're going to compete for top-3 next season.

Uggghhh I'm so conflicted I want LMQ in Worlds but Curse also deserves to get not 4th for once. Curse gets so much shit from everyone but they really stepped it up at the end of the split.


But they were 6th last Summer and they won MLG Raleigh, even if they were disqualified, rofl.

So now that we all accepted Xpecial into our hearts, I wonder two things: Did he change after getting benched and stopped being toxic, or is Crs simply not as frail as TSM? And also, doesn't he speak mandarin pretty well? I wonder if he ever considered playing in China or LMQ, imagine the terror he and Vasili would be.
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.

Xspecial has been best support NA for both splits. He was only ever kept down by the performance of his team, but he has never been outperformed by Lemon or Aphro with any consistency. He is the most mechanically skilled and his weaknesses all stem from playing like he had TSM behind him for the first half of the split instead of CRS.

EDIT: There is 0 chance Pobelter is a top 3 mid or that Helios is a top 3 jungler. Neither of those can be seriously considered. Altec might be 3rd.

I see Xpecial consistently opening doran's. I wonder why; I don't see anybody else doing this.

He doesn't say "that's so troll" enough to fit in to TSM. Luckily curse doesn't have such defects.

The doran's shield is gonna do work vs lucian/lulu.Wonder why he didn't go for ignite to try to grab some kills.

He isn't the only one.Seen some others do it as well.But in this specific game it makes sense.

the passive aggressivness could have been a TSM unique problem. I can't look behind the scenes on curse but it doesn't seem to be a problem.

I think curse are more lenient or cop is more obedient than turtle (I remember his vlog about joining curse saying how he wanted to be a leader on curse)

He has said in interviews that on TSM people didn't want to talk about problems, whereas on Curse people are more open about that sort of thing.

Also, Hai clearly understands this matchup better than XWX. You let Yasuo bully pre-6 and then just fucking kill him.

Top 3 Mids: XWX, Bjergsen, Hai/Shiphtur tie

Top 3 Junglers: Meteos, NoName, IWD.

Top 3 ADCs: Sneaky, Double, Altec vs Cop. Not sure I've thought about it long enough.
