problem with curse is bad picks and dominate not knowing when to be there for voyboy when voy goes deep. Being the most aggressive midlaner, enemys always gonna camp there, but IWD never adjusts his paths. On top of that, whoever makes the drag/early game calls for them suck dick, they all need to have a voice or get someone else to shotcall, those decisions lost them the games.

Pretty sure Curse have the most first blood in LCS thia split. So their early game cant be all bad. But i guess what you are saying is based on their last 3 games only.

Afaik, you don't need to worry about another team coming to NA. LMQ went to NA just simply because ex-boss of Royal want to show how great he is and he is much powerful than the boss of OMGPE.
And the one want to leave is Ackerman because Sharon or LMQ refuse his girlfriend come to US, he wanted to go back. So I think what VASILLI means is this

LMQ went to NA, because EDG paid them ton of money for slot in LPL.

The biggest issue with it is still not the players, it's the fact that a (kinda shady) Chinese organization is able to just step in and run everything from outside the states.

Granted, I know other organizations do this (Dig, for example), but when a Chinese organization sends Chinese players to the US, it worries me a little about the possibility of a future where the NA LCS is made up entirely of 2nd-tier Korean or Chinese teams.

More complicated than that to be sure. But you never know.


I'm pretty sure Riot would close the door once abuse like this happens.


What, close the door on foreign players being good? How do you expect them to stop KT Rolster sending over a C team to NA and doing exactly what Team 8 has done, or any of the other Challenger teams for that matter?

It's more that Kha wasn't in first 2 and lulu/lucian were. Doesn't make any sense to prioritize those two.

as has been said. Curse doesn't know how to draft, nor do they realize post draft what they can and cannot do with it.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

Did you just say that LMQ "Take Vasili's 1-7 Lucian over his 7-0 Tristana" knows how to draft???

You couldn't be more wrong. They have flashes of what-seems-like-brilliance, but I personally attribute it to luck + opponent's negligence more than anything. For most part their BP phase against TSM was a bit unfathomable (legit don't get the Lee Sin & Lucian picks for Noname & Vasilii respectively. They're so much better on other champs.)


RE: C9-TSM Match
I'm conflicted. Irrationally dislike the TSM brand, but if TSM wins it implies that LMQ isn't as much of a flop for losing to them in that bo5.

Tristana was banned all five games by Curse, no?
I may be wrong because university blows.

It's not like Lucian was problem for LMQ at all in those games, Kha'Zix just was always that beacon of salvation for any jungler to look good.
LMQ drafts were ok, outside of this questionable TF pick in Game 1, they just played to their strengths in Games 3-5, drafting basically same lineups.

C9 3-0, i don't see TSM getting a single game again, just curious if it's going to be same 3-0 complete stomp like previous 2 times or TSM will fight at least at some point.

TSM has shown that they are capable of beating C9(finally) but I don't think they've improved that much to take a series off of C9. I think this finals will be alot closer then the other finals but C9 will still come out on top in the end.

Probably 3-2 for C9 or C9 will just do what they do best and 3-0.

Here's how the finals will go
G1: TSM gets a dream comp with maokai/kha/yasuo/trist/braum. After a strong first 20 minutes they get rekt by C9
G2: C9 doesn't give up an OP draft and pain trains TSM after a roughly even start
G3: TSM makes a desperate pick (RETURN OF THE VOLIBOAR?), dies in 20

Hail to the king baby

In the meantime, interview with dlift by travis. I'm sure it'll be interesting

Nothing can be compared with Reginald's Fizz still, it was even better hail mary than last night's Voyboy's one and random Trundle by certain jungler 1,5 years ago.
