Anyone know how successful IEM San Jose is so far? Wasn't it a pretty controversial location choice to have an IEM?

No idea, but ESL is doing a lot random shit lately. Also not having TSM on final day didn't help.

I'm not sure if it's changed by when I spoke to Neo yesterday he said the place was pretty empty and sent me some pics. The stream numbers for league have been pretty good at least. SC2 is still barely scrapping more than solo streamers at this point though.

I don't understand why c9 refuses to pick a team comp with wave clear

Because hai doesn't want to, he's pretty much outright stated he'll only ever play assassins. Orianna and that stuff isn't for him.

They're going to lose a lot of games this split if that keeps up

we've been saying that for the past 3 splits. lol.

I could have sworn hai played high wave clear champs last season.

I think TF was the only champion he played at an -okayish level that had some form of waveclear, ever since being in LCS.

Zed and talon is reasonable waveclear. He also played a decent amount of syndra but syndra's about as much utility as hai gets since lulu mid got the axe from riot disapproval.

He was also a jayce player but hasn't played jayce in a while. He does play orianna when the team wants him to but it's basically dade levels of at the bottom of the pool

Ugh that really sucks, really wished it got a lot more love. I forgot who's tweet i read, I think it was carmac or one of the higher ups pretty much saying they were banking a lot on this IEM to be a success.

Sort of makes you wonder if thorin's comment about hosting IEM in poland was right.

Talon's wave clear is not safe, very short ranged, cant do anything vs a 5v5 siege. Zed can't fight if he's constantly wave clearing due to energy management.

Yeah, Zed actually has really good wave clear for an energy champ+assassin. Talon's decent damage-wise (not sure how he holds with the changes to increase minions' HP though, it actually hurts physical waveclear more than magical), and Rake only has 600 range so it's nowhere near enough when getting sieged (he has no escape too, E on a minion doesn't work in these situations).
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.

Ye at this point I don't know why they putting money into SC2 instead of Dota 2. I get there's a lot of dota events these days and they may be too late but dam it's better to be late than stuck on a ship that's all but sunk at this point.

I think most people who thought about it calmly agreed with that. People dig their cheap/free entertainment around here.
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.
