Not happening. Curse the 4th is eternal. I like gravity more than TIP, but I feel like TIP is just going to roll gravity. Hopefully it's not another series of 3-0's. | ||

I account alot of it to meta shift ,bad drafts and improper use of their time. People will critique their players but the same 5 players gave TSM a run for their money for the spot at IEM and also held on to the 2nd place for the majority of the season. CLG should look into finding a new mid and jungle but also they should take a good look at their coaching staff. I dont think most people realize that this is the real locodoco. | ||

TL fucking styled on CLG in game 3. Solo killing all 3 lanes? Damn. I'm not entirely sure if Rivington realises that Fenix and Keane aren't the same person. | ||

9 out of 10 say Link was the weakest link and he was the reason CLG lost, when actually he (and maybe Doublelift too, at least in the 2 first games, and overall he got shit on and somehow was relevant in farm WITHOUT taking any farm away from top lane neither midlane) was the one who did better in CLG in all 3 games. People saying Link was the bad one in CLG, please re-watch the 3 games. They all got outplayed hard, Link was the only one doing actually well until the rest of CLG feed everyone, what the fuck can Link do against a team where all his members are fed? 3rd game they all stop trying, they all just went with their comfort picks accepting the 3-0. Anyways, can't wait to see liquid vs C9. Fenix vs Hai will be a Faker vs Regi v.2 A young ambitious korean mid laner, mechanically 100 times better than his mechanically ape enemy Also, if anyone is interested: CLG will sign either Rush (Team Impulse jungler) or Spirit. The other day Rush was streaming and Link was asking Rush using in-game chat what does he think about CLG and a lot of other questions that were too obvious... At one point Link was so obvious with the approaching that Rush stopped him saying "I'm streaming! I love CLG! I will tell you later what I really think about CLG  "Source: Rush Azubu VOD April-2-2015, almost at the end of one of the games After that Rush started following HSGG and other CLG members. With Rush being fluent in english and korean I think any team with him can hire literally any korean they want and it won't be any communication issues. CLG Faker might be a thing if they sign Rush | ||

Yeah, Link really stepped up to the occasion, easy to see especially when he's facing this scrub corean who derped while under pressure. More seriously, He didn't play that bad (not Lissandra-bad or Xmithie-bad) but he wasn't impressive at all. He never has been during playoffs, and it is sad to say that this "not so bad" play by him may actually be his best perfomance during playoffs / important matches. If you aim as a team to be more than an ok one, then having a midlaner that can't rise up to the occasion is a liability. | ||

CLG had a few points in the first two games where they could have punished TL mistakes and won off that but failed and died to team comp disadvantage. But yah drafts were pretty fk terror. MonteCristo had an aneurysm watching the VoDs | ||

CLG showed literally zero improvement over the season, frustrating to watch. It was obvious that it's going to happen. You just need to look at Scarra's Dignitas last year. Imagine, what could happen if split was 28 games long? Same 4 weeks without winning in the end? | ||

Thing is, whenever most pro players talk, you realize that they would be in silver if not for low ping and great mouse/keyboard control. However, those same people also seem to generally have contempt for people without mouse/keyboard control. This is basically the Korean advantage in a nutshell: understanding they are completely different. | ||

CLG Faker might be a thing if they sign Rush He lost lane 3 times in a row with all of Xmithies pressure focused on Fenix. lol. The only reason he was doing "well" is because Xmithie was in his lane all day. Fenix was pulling so much pressure. Fenix solo killed Link in every game... Link wasn't the only reason they lost, but he definitely didn't help. You're going to have a rough time if you are getting beat on so hard in lane that you can get a gank and still die repeatedly with your jungler there in a 2v1. | ||
