Trailer for Demacia Cup Finals in Beijing this weekend :D.

I hope LGD gets Imp's visa issues sorted out :< else it'll be Weiless as ADC again with Yeluo mid. Oh yeah, apparently TBQ went back to his hometown bc of some family emergency thing so xiaoxi jungle?

Sigh.

This intro lol. I want to say something but words are escaping me. Opening ceremonies, let's go~! -> lol.qq.com/demacia

I was hoping the lq stream wouldn't lag for me, but it is.... agh.... The team intro videos are pretty amazing in the sense I'm torn between moments of oh cool and hilarity, but I wonder who decided on the themes?

Snake: Basketball team kids
UP: Kids in a garage with cars. okay.
LGD: Gangster kids?
OMG: True gangster kids?
VG: Nevermind, the true gangsters. Mata's bitch please face is hard to beat.
IG: Graffiti kids (with style LMAO)
WE: Randomly in a gym kids? I'm dying right now okay.
EDG: Boxing kids? My sides hurt right now.

The gifs made from these will be gold. Thinking about it, Snake probably got the most normal looking intro video.

EDG vs WE on main stream with IG vs VG on stream 2. Time to see how hard Spirit can carry. AJ is starting with Pawn. Yo wtf did Aluka do with his hair????

G1:
EDG bans: Sion, TF, Janna
WE bans: Kalista, Alistar, Azir
EDG picks: Gragas, Thresh, Maokai, Kog, Ez
WE picks: Ryze (are you serious?), Ekko, Morgana, Vayne, Fizz

Spirit gives up first blood while trying to gank for Aluka due to Clearlove's countergank. Pawn blind steals WE's blue, kills Xiye, and then kills Spirit. Double buffs Pawn with 2 kills before 10 minutes? This game feels pretty over already. Nevermind, it's definitely over now @_@. Have a nice day with Pawn's Ez. At least the bleeding didn't last too long.

Also holy shit, Mata's in the hospital because of appendicitis so VG forfeited (VG weibo post T.T). :< I hope he gets better soon. If he has the surgery today, it'll probably be upwards of two weeks for post-op recovery

. I guess we'll get to see VG run around like headless chickens next week in LPL? Sigh.

So OGN is streaming Demacia Cup here, works better than Chinese streams for me. I don't think they have UP vs Snake though, it would have been nice to have an English stream.

He's been playing ADC for a while. Imp has random shit to do so Weiless is trolling on ADC.

also mfw vg forfeits cause mata has appendicitis. #demaciacupthings

And to think people try to take demacia cup results as an indicator of team strength :3

Feel sort of :< about EDG vs IG since I think IG could beat Snake or OMG, but oh well, that's how the brackets worked out. Had a pretty shitty day so I'll catch VODs after work tomorrow. Hope we have some good games tonight!

Xiaoxiao, Sicca, and Bella tri-cast hype! I hope they do the finals tomorrow as well.

There's something wonderful about Xiaoxiao explaining IG's problems lol.

Question: Would you be so kind as to link me to this game?

I'm so confused as to why LPL analysts continue to doubt (hate?) Pawn. Every time I watch a VOD he either is top 2 in responsibility for a win, or bottom 2 in culpability for a loss.

Worlds is gonna be pretty awesome this year. I expect the big 3 EDG, SKT, and FNC to body everyone else till they meet each other.

Not sure why is everyone hyping up Fnatic. They are still the 4th place at MSI until proven otherwise and would likely get stomped by at least top 2 teams from China as well as SKT in its current form. I honestly would still bet on AHQ beating them 55-45.

2 games off SKT (with a glaring weak spot in Steelback), 14-0 at home with basically every configuration of shit draft and bad start. I don't see any reason not to think they're theoretically quite high up.

They lost to Ahq. Convincingly.

So? SKT dropped games to shit tier amateur teams this season far worse than AHQ. SKT was also down like 10k gold against AHQ. Could have easily lost that game.

A spring split not ultra dominant with Steeelback led to a 2-3 SKT.
Now they have Rekkles and the split is perfect, or course they will be hyped up.
