Kobe and Deficio are both great. Riv word salad is always funny. Just try count the number of times he actually finishes a sentence. | ||

I thought putting him with Flowers during playins was fine, because it was amateur hour for Worlds, but there is no reason why he should be doing groups, and god forbid, bracket. I don't dislike any caster more than I dislike Vedius. I'd rather listen to LS cast again. | ||

Cho priority is because it allows your jungler to park bottom lane without putting the top laner behind. He's just the most stable and hard to zone laner of all the tanks Bonus points for decent waveclear and objective control. His alt is aiight but iirc the stone plate interaction was nerfed by the worlds patch so he's not going to be one shotting anyone and he isn't going to touch the adc with a 10 ft pole if this lulu/Janna popularity continues. As a prediction I feel like Taric will be the contested support pick by the finals | ||

In 2014/5, when lol started for me, I was hooked by Doa/Monte, and that synergy has never been matched by another duo. Or well, let's say I never had the same feeling as I had then. I just saw the SKT game from today. Some people may feel SKT looked shaky, but in the later parts of the game I saw some absolutely brilliant stuff. They're on a completely different level. | ||

I watched DoA cast since he was with moletrap and it took him awhile to get to form. Maybe captain flowers will one day reach those heights. | ||

I'd wish Achilios would have left with them though, since he basically does the same thing. They were both pretty unhappy with the way Riot treated them, so I can understand them. They will always remain my favourite casters, they made up 50% of the entertainment of the LCK/OGN, the rest was watching good teams duke it out. I particularly liked Monte because I disagreed with his opinions of the game, but knew that his stance was backed by analysis of the game and research of the scene. Yea I agree it took Doa a long while to get good. But he showed the ability to improve, which honestly feels really rare among casters lol When did you start watching? I began watching LoL in 2012, and I loved Doa from the start, he is the perfect counterpart to Monte. Honestly interested, I can't remember him changing much, I never paid much attention to caster progression. | ||
