I mean CLG over-performed even if they say they didn't. Darshan can't carry on tank champs, and shitty Duke TPs still mean that Duke shows up eventually and destroys people in the fight. Huhi's champion pool is so shallow, the fact that CLG could cover it up for this long is insane. Edit: I think Monte or PapaSmithy said it during one of their VOD reviews, but for basically all of Spring Split all Huhi played was Corki and Ryze. He can't play Azir, was mediocre at best on Ekko, and was just terrible with Cassio. If CLG wants to use him for engage champs then stick him on Lissandra or something. | ||

Edit: Wait... Everyone in the NA scene was pissing on CLG so much going into MSI that TLA was the only team willing to scrim vs. CLG and prepare them for the tournament? | ||

Everyone else went to Korea to Bootcamp for Summer Split. TSM, TL, IMT, and C9 are in Korea right now. I'm pretty sure even the lower level teams are, even like RNG. | ||

Edit: I'm kinda surprised that winning MSI doesn't guarantee that the team/org who won it doesn't just automatically punch their ticket to Worlds. I feel like it would, or at least give the winning team some more championship points for their region. | ||

Solo-queue, even korean soloqueue, would be worthless for scrimming tight team games. I think at the end of the day, as long as you have a semi-competent scrim partner you are likely fine. Its like in MMA, no one scrims guys who are the complete package, they usually scrim a couple people who are good at certain thing. One guy might have a similar striking style, one guy might have a similar wrestling style or ground game philosphy, one guy might push and pace himself similarly etc. Literally every champion ever scrimmed people worse than the previous champion. | ||

He rushed straight to the trophy as soon as he could. | ||

Unless they plan on staying there for an extended period of time and do scrims with the Koreans nonstop and compete with them they will always be behind. I'm getting tired of hearing how players go to Korea for a month and two. It's an experience but not enough. | ||

Because last season has anything to do with this season. Europe is shit right now and if anything na teams will be better next spilt. | ||
