It doesn't help that TL decided to give EDG exactly what they wanted in the early game and didn't play to their outs. | ||

Edit: finished game now. Was a really good game lots of action and very exciting. Fnatic put up a fight and didn’t roll over, but IG was setting the tempo all game long. | ||

Also Grex needs to start winning, but I don’t feel as bad about that since dinosaurs. | ||

Just woke up and started catching up on the mornings games. I’m five minutes into the IG game and so much for Caps hype. Rookie up 15 cs five minutes in and has already forced out flash. I don’t think a lot of western analysts who don’t watch LPL have really reckoned with the mechanical skill gap between LCS carrys and LPL carrys. Idk man, I thought Syndra dumps on Swain hard and Caps played it fine, he played conservatively because Rookie is uhh, pretty damn good. He almost killed him a few times as well, with the help of the team but still his good playmaking. Sadly, Hyli fed like a boosted animal, some of his playmaking was good, but not the kind of stuff FNC needed. Honestly that game could have gone either way, FNC pulled back the deficit in the bot lane incredibly well. But those games highlight the power of iG, everyone on the team is a fucking mechanical god to the point it literally makes them good at team fighting, something that looks like an evenly matched team fight can easily end in a 4-0 for them. FNC made an amazing comeback when they got those kills in the jungle, but then promptly got demolished the next fight and that was the end of the game. Hopefully they can still make it through the rest of the group, because I think FNC looks pretty strong, they seemed to be flustered knowing they were playing such a scary team. I’m sure next game Scout will feed in lane and facecheck bushes and TL will be cursing their luck to get Scout on one of the good days. Just so people know, I put EDG first in the group because I believe that Scout is going to beat Ucal to a pulp at least once in this tournament, and carry the game like the second coming of Jesus. Tomorrow is that day. So it's pretty clear iG, RNG, and KT are the only real competition for the cup this year. Clear favourites, I cannot dream how epic an iG vs KT series might be. | ||

I guess it's just vs G-Rex. Might as well send Bwipo in instead of Rekkles. | ||

The fights they picked were not ideal, but I think they probably would have gotten away with it and been fine against most of the teams in this tournament, even the strong teams like RNG. Scout just picked this game to go monster mode and play like Faker. A lot of plays stop working against an Azir who makes plays like that. I’m sure next game Scout will feed in lane and facecheck bushes and TL will be cursing their luck to get Scout on one of the good days. TL's early lane phase outside of the forced teamfights was fine. They were taking some hits but not falling too far behind in gold, and the one time EDG did go for a dive in bot TL was able to read it and had Xmithe there - alongside a late-ish roam from Poebelter - to turn it around. After that semi-successful dive, EDG was focusing more on winning the lanes via farm advantage and vision control than straight up beating them with ganks or skirmishes, which would have been exactly what TL wanted. But TL forced objectives when they shouldn't have, and the three fights were during a time when EDG was stronger than TL due to levels and items. For example, the first dragon fight will look a lot different if TL has 2 or 3 items and are only down by 1-2k gold compared to EDG who have 2.5 or 3 itmes as well, and are similar in levels. Kai'sa isn't really a threat until post-12 and has two items at the very least. Yes, Scout picked a good time to play well. But when the mid laner you're fighting is Poebelter (probably the weakest mid in Worlds Groups stage) that's not a hard thing to do. | ||

I believe they integrated an advanced version of OpenAI in him, it's only a matter of time before he has played enough games with slumping EDG to throw everyone on his back and win the game 1v9 consistently. | ||
