These fights are stupid, man.
Just here RNG had 5 peopel at like 10 health from dying.

Feels like at some point a nash fight will be decided by one of the teams' carries living that way and walking back in the fight.

I dunno, the commentators were sucking hard on his dick in that last fight, but it was the whole of RNG just playing it well, when C9 split up and burnt both Poppy's ult and Thresh's hook. That let RNG walk in without fear, and with C9 split up they just littered them with AoE damage and didn't have to bother chasing after someone in particular: Poppy's away, they chunked whoever was in front to force a reaction, then as soon as dashes/flashes/etc. were burnt by C9 RNG moved as a team toward whoever now looked defenseless.

They put 3 people low on health and then just popped them one after the other because Zilean can't help with that.

I wonder if this means RNG is shaky or C9 is just way more solid than expected. I think it's a little bit of both, RNG seems to have much more trouble in pick bans than they should, maybe due to champion pools. That or Karsa is a tiltlord.

I suppose this gives some support to the idea that the problem with NA teams is that they play on NA solo queue. Now after being in Korea playing on Korean solo queue for a few weeks they can actually win games. Either that of genG just sucks and RNG had an off day.

Lmao, this is one of the most entertaining groups I've ever watched. Can't believe VIT didn't make it out, but C9 somehow turned up big time. Jensen probably won't get Zilean more than once for the rest of the tournament, that champ messes with standard comps so hard.

Lets see if AF can bring glory to KR tomorrow, although from their current performance so far I'd say their worse than Gen.G, they just have a much easier group.

Soooo do we have anyone here who did not have Gen.G in group B's top 2 in their Pick'ems?

oops

My brother got this group 100% right.

He knows nothing about esports and guessed randomly, but he got the full 16 points so joke's on me

Also shout out to that dude from Hotline League who said no or one Korean team will make it out of groups, he's getting close to being right

Plz no, I want a weak AF because it increases the chance of G2 making it through, EU ftw. Would also mark the end of KR dominance, even if KT win they wouldn't be the undisputed overlords anymore.

C9 remains the best performing NA team on the international stage. TSM watched from home. This is the dankest.timeline. I really look forward to Liquid choking and people continuing to excuse Pobelter.

Nice to see the biggest fraud "contender" get the boot. Don't know why they were so hyped up outside of being Korean.

I mean its the pretty normal timeline. C9 performing on the international stage is the real NA legacy.

I feel like Kaisa is almost a trap pick at this point. You give up so much pressure botlane with it and it strangles your solo laners as well since they have to try and support it.
