? They didn't have a wave with them anyway did they? Seemed like they just chased because drake was coming up anyway and it's easier to secure it with the Kassadin off the map.

was pretty sure they had a partial wave at turret + one just coming from river, should have been doable

Oh then dunno. Maybe they were scared of Kass picking them off after a turret pick. I didn't think it was that bad to chase down the Kassadin though. Good on Snake to be able to close it out after some terrible play G1-G3.

Bloody King, it was last time I cheered for you. Being more stupid than Snake is achievement.

Anyway, no way this Snake beat either LGD/OMG, thank God that hype will die for a while.

Patch still 2GD4snake, Snake 3-0 OMG/LGD incoming. They just struggled against the fully realized vayneking wuxx.

Honestly at least krystal got exposed for a bit so that's cool ~_~

don't really see the need to mock snake for being stupid. it's not like they are stupid all the time, they are just unstable as even their backers (wei2 excluded because crazy) would acknowledge.

what's interesting about snake as a team is the times they do make their plans work and the violent aesthetics of reckless play. it's not like they are some sort of elite team, but they are capable of playing smart and unexpected comps.

I think snake is good. Beast is a very nice surprise in the jungle. He reminds me of a mechanically gifted Saintvicious.

Snake has proven themselves far more adaptable than people have given them credit for. Based on second hand accounts and Chinese social media, I think Snake's management/coaching team is top notch.

I give snake a lot of shit because I hate it when people like teams I like but you have to credit the coaching staff for turning a dumb team based around a top laner dropping a gallon of PCP every champion select and hard carrying anyway into a very cohesive team that does a very good job of covering up their weaknesses (baka's champion pool and krystal's patented Chinese aggression) as well as the decision to bring on some obscure Koreans and mold them into the perfect role players for the team. Snake's a good team, just an often overrated one. Even if I feel like people like me who backlash against that overrating has caused it to come full circle and underrate them.

Pls this snake is an abomination that wishes they were S2 World Elite, the real snake is the true heir to iG with mini-PDD flandre but they sold out to concepts such as "teamplay" and "no you can't give your top laner nerfed to oblivion yasuo for fuck's sake"

Give flandre trundle pls LGD/OMG, nothing would go wrong :>

Yeah IDK, I feel like this Snake is very different from S2 WE, whose hallmark strategy was "macro" oriented, designed to get as much resources on the three carries as possible and just overwhelming the opposition.

While it's true both WE and Snake had/have superb teamfighting, Snake is more reliant on coordination and teamfighting to cement an advantage, whereas WE's teamfighting was more of a side-effect of superior vision and map control.

The observable end result is similar, but I think there's a fundamental difference in how the two teams reach the endpoint.
