Link played pretty badly. In fairness to him so did Zion and Thinkcard for much of the series

Well every time Link actually got a shockwave off that game he hit one person with nobody in position to follow up so I'd save the Mikaels too rofl


Feel like there was just a lot of miscommunication as Link ulted two or three times with the ball on someone and that someone just flashed or escaped out of it.

Link did have one good shockwave in one of the dragon fights.

Aphromoo died too much this game like almost always before dragon or something.

I don't think it was all Link's fault, since it seems like typical CLG just broke down under the pressure.

Anyway GET FUGD NA

Another cool IEM. Hopefully Roccat just have growing and sub pains and they can actually contest top3 in EU.
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.

Well there was one fight where he had the ball on doublelift. How do you not expect your caitlyn to pull back from the center of the fight haha

If xmithie returns to his old form then CLG has a chance to compete since thinkcard put 0 pressure on which causes ur other lanes to suffer a alot. They'll probably still choke since link and to some extend aphro are pretty bad in big games.

Yes, to me this isn't a communication issue. This is just terrible decision making from Link.

It did feel like thinkcard dragged the team down though
they basically reverted back to protect DL since they couldnt even trust him on anything else

It literally happens all the time, when CLG is falling after they entered season 4.
Every time, when dexter wasn't able to get bunch of successful ganks, when dragon fights went poor or something, every time CLG just went "Doublelift please".

Seriously, that series against Curse in summer quarterfinals is just epitome of it. That's just mental state of CLG plus we now know that Zion isn't ready to be "carry" in any non-lesser teams.

But anyway, i'm pretty positive, even considering that i'm huge opponent of Scarra as head coach.
Xmithie hadn't missed a single objective he could get when i saw him playing Nunu competitively past Vulcun collapse, Link is seriously on some Voyboy shit right now which is already better than being worse than Hai and if Moo stops dying for every sin he commited before, this team should be at least in playoffs and who knows how it goes after.

And honestly, Doublelift still has what it takes, that's just impressive if he can put up another year on same or higher level.

CLG looked frakking awful in game 1. Seems like they're using TP to try to bail out there dumb positional moves, without going "gee, we might all die anyway even with the TP." Or just waste it. Thinkcard suiciding at the start of the game to give Gambit a free double was really dumb too.

Link sitting in a bush and just waiting to die in game 4 is pretty much sums up the series for me.

People complain about 'protect the dl' play style, but tbh, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. DL is generally a good enough ADC to pull off the strategy off, problem is that they're forced to play the style because of individual fuckups in their teams. Wouldn't read too much into this, since hopefully xmithie is somewhat better than thinkcard.
