Idkkkkkk, when they first joined the LCS Sneaky was clearly the weak link.


I dont think they had a weak link in their first split. The only mistake Sneaky did in 28 games was that Ezreal blink into the whole enemy team.

Sneaky has been stepping up for a long time now and his consistency is unquestionable at this point imo. I don't see any other NA ADC nearing his level. RIP Double.

I was making excuses to my friend for Balls while watching C9 play ALL but it simply didn't improve in the finals. Balls rekts kids in lane but his positioning in team fights left a lot to be desired. I think he can def clean it up before Spring Split starts though. C9 may or may not roller coaster up and down but I don't think they'll have a meltdown again, a la Summer Split regional finals.

Oh yeah, I'm not saying he hasn't been improving, that's undeniable. I just remember their first split and thinking they were going to cut Sneaky.

Sneaky's laning is still his "weakness", I rarely seem him eek out large farm gaps in lane. But his teamfighting is undeniably godly.

Why poor Lemon? And yeah, I'm quite sad Balls hasn't been doing as well recently. I like Balls. He's my favorite <3.

UOL saving EU LCS, giving hope to fans everywhere that this season won't be a 3 team circlejerk anymore like the last 5000 splits or so.

Really? I dont see a single reason to put UOL in top3 over other EU LCS teams. Besides EU LCS was always very close and more even in skill than other regions.
Off-season = best season

Are they even playoff material without their Thresh/Irelia/Gnar, lol.
Outside of CW and second seed from ET, i don't see a single team who is weaker than them, assuming that H2K qualifies as first.

I'm undoubtedly late to the party, but why do teams still draft comps that can only go in one direction? Specific offender being tsm v uol g2.

because in general LoL teams still suck at drafting.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

Also TSM have always been dumb as bricks when it comes to drafting, seems like even changing new members doesn't matter. Previously they just used to have a preplanned draft and did that regardless of situation. Hopefully with Loco they not THAT bad still.

It feels so much worse than that though. Its not just TSM. Even Korean teams used to play comps that basically if they aren't going forward like Nidalee/Vayne/Nunu.

Its sometimes hard to think of examples (mostly because teams usually pick Xerath, Ahri, Ziggs, Ori, etc) but you just see the comp and are like, "What the heck, this comp can't do anything if they are not way ahead."
