Wolf as MVP, guy is best support in Korea.
Yo man Wolf is really good, but I don't think anyone can contest Gorilla's place as best Support in Korea right now. Honestly, even before the Korean Exodus, the only support who was better was Mata. How I remember the days of OGN Spring 2014 where Monte and DOA talked about how he was a liability that couldn't play anything aside from Thresh.
Yeah, one of Gorilla's fewest problems is his champion pool. He can't really play anything to the level that he can play his Janna and Thresh. However, even Madlife at his peak had a very small champion pool and he was still called God's gift to mortals. Honestly, I don't think Gorilla is done growing. He's going to be really limited on GE Tigers though. I mean no offense to Pray, but he is really washed up. He may have been great once, but his time is over. Lee is pretty mediocre and what I imagine Rush will be once NA LCS starts up. There's a reason Najin decided to start Watch over him. Smeb just seems lost when he's not playing a carry champion. He's been playing for years, and I doubt he's going to start fixing his issues now. There was a great article here on Teamliquid about IM, or I think on Smeb specifically that really detailed his history and his playstyle.

It will be a dark day if we don't see some Azir Faker play tonight

It's obvious that LR threads are fun, the question is whether it's worth user's time to create a new thread for every game. But I guess it works better with OGN 1-series-per-day format than with something like LCS where it's an ongoing discussion about teams' performance that week.
I just hope we don't see Easyhoon tomorrow.
generally i reckon if you get 30+ pages per match (like say SPL threads on TL main) then it's probably worth it? especially if you have a few dedicated people and/or a good system for updating and making LRs.
i wouldn't mind helping out briefly on perhaps a consultant basis or something i dno.

i went back and looked at the games that skt played in the preseason. they were behind early quite often, due to jungler pressure. their solo lanes would almost always win in cs. bang tends to pick weak laning adc and still go even.
given their position and resource skt should definitely pick up a couple jungler prospects. there's no draft like in bw so they can stockpile the young talent at key positions. jungler and mid are still the key positions.

Yeah, it really isn't that hard. Just copy/paste the front and change the header and team images. Then polls take like two seconds.

I for one, am excited to see some raunchy EazyHoon Azir action. Bow down to your SKT overlord.

Honestly I can't believe Piglet and Impact were kicked off this team before Bengi
Who knows if they got kicked? I don't think we got any information about them directly getting "kicked". As long as I can remember, PoohManDu left because he wanted to go to school (even though rumors says that he's coaching in China now with Mafa) and Impact simply just left on good terms. Piglet could've left the team because of Mandu leaving too, or he got kicked, I don't think there was any reasoning behind Piglets exit from SKT.

Impact left because SKT chose Marin over him. You seriously think Impact would rather play on Team Impulse rather than SKT, the best team in Korea( and probably the World) right now?

i never found making threads hard, it was moreso the having to sit at the PC the entire time and post drafts/polls/results as the match plays out

Only two teams I see from Korea with potential to win Worlds. SKT should definitely be the favorite, but something about Najin is grabbing my attention. I just want to see Ohq carry hard so everyone realizes he's a top 5 ADC in the world.
Do people still question that he's a top 5 ADC? Ohq's already proven that he's incredible even with an aging (yet still consistent) support.

I think this is going to be a close set

Of course not lol, you just wrote that he was kicked and I just wanted to write that he in fact didn't get kicked, but left the team on good terms, because SKT chose Marin over Impact ^^

stylistically ohq is like arrow but with better laning, intriguing and flashy but he's not better than bang.

Assuming that Najin plays Ohq and not Zefa, i agree. These should be the top 2 teams right now.

Arrow can't CS to save his life. If you put Arrow vs. a slightly above average dog in lane, Arrow would still end up with only 60 CS by 10.

Who needs CS when you can just fight 24/7 in lane? :^)

Welp, Time to see Faker set the meta for the next month and a half.

Okay, so while we do have a MAIN Champions thread, with the new site, hopefully tons of new people and a new community, I'd like to see what happens if we do a singular/nightly thread. I really want to push the Live Report/community aspect, and I think LR threads are one thing that we can bring that other communities don't really have right now.
Predict. Discuss. Fanboy/girl. Have fun.
10 hours before kickoff!
Technically /vg/ has had unofficial LR threads running for years now but they are a bit of a chaotic mess.

I'm excited to watch the bot lane here. Ohq is very good and if Najin do take a game or 2 from SKT I think he'll play a big role in that. If the solo laners can survive and bot gets rolling Najin will upset.

I'm expecting bang to steal the show today.
