Cuzz picks Nid...attempts to invade level 1 and not only dying but making his ADC flash to heal and try and save him.....only to find out his ADC has barrier. You hate to see it.

Wtf was that game 3? Faker bringing the LCS to the LCK with his new contract.

In the words of LS, Deft was compelled by a cosmic force to clown a won game. Like, those iron plays man smh

Game 3 was pretty low quality. That was one of the worst baron plays I've ever seen, it looked like Deft's IQ dropped by a good 100 points.

Nuguri dumpstered Sword so hard at the start of game 3, then proceeded to botch a 2vs2 tower dive and got caught out. If not for that, the game would've probably been over by 20 minutes. So sad to watch a roster with Tarzan, Viper and Ucal struggle so much.

i cant understand why ucal/untara etc would even accept a griffin contract. should have avoided griffin like the plague. tarzan and viper staying on was also stupid

My guess is that they didn't get any other offers, Ucal is great but he's got tough young competition in the form of Showmaker and Chovy, and Fly, BDD fill other top team slots (Faker is tenured into T1, he's never leaving as we all know). On paper, GRF is still better than KT, HLE and APK, and Sandbox didn't change their roster much. So yeah, there wasn't anywhere else to go, unless he was offered China bucks, or an NA retirement plan (Ucal is 19, lol).

Aiming took his old team down. DAMWON losing their way. Nuguri seems to keep getting isolated by teams. I think his weaknesses were shown at Worlds and now LCK teams are also abusing him.

For those unaware. There was a mini scare in the LCK yesterday. The host of the LCK Korean broadcast, Mina Kim, was sent home for a fever and the teams and broadcast team were put under self-quarantine.

Thankfully, Mina has tested negative for the Coronavirus. However, there has been a rising amount of positive tests for Covid-19 in Korea (partly due to improved testing for the virus), so we may soon see the LCK also go on break although there has been no announcement from Riot Korea or any information claiming that it will happen.

I wouldn't be surprise if the game this week-end are canceled.

Hopefully, given how likely it was for the virus to spread to KR, the LCK has a plan for how they can continue broadcasting. Although, given how KR is being locked down like CN, that might be impossible.

T1 could be first for a day today if they beat Griffin, and they probably would, this iteration of Griffin is nothing like they were in the last two years

Stream lag (YT and Twitch) is really ruining it today. People on both chats complaining about, wonder what the reason is today.

I figured out it could be solved by delaying the YT stream by a few minutes. My guess is the upload connection was unstable, so eventually I would catch up with live. Also could hear that every few seconds the sound was clipped.

Not the most interesting games today, but the second T1 game was hilarious, GRF is so bad.

So what's the level of Korea nowadays? Are the golden days over or will we have some world's finals material from this region?

The top teams have quality games with some hiccups. The bottom half of LCK seem pretty bad imo, not much better than what you see in bottom LEC and LCS. They're not very proactive, don't seem to have a good grasp of macro and often have big skill differences in certain positions.

Good: T1, GenG, AF, DRX
OK: HLE, DWG (both closer to bad imo)
Bad: GRF, SB, KT, APK

What's particularly sad is that teams like GRF and KT have players rotting in them that you would normally consider very good (Viper, Ucal, Tarzan, Aiming, Tusin), and SB seems to have been on a steady decline continuing from last year.

GenG getting Sett, Senna and Pantheon to clean game AF tells you everything you need to know about power creep in this game. Even if GenG was clearly the better team, Senna had over 80 stacks by the 20 minute mark, which is when she starts hitting like a truck from a mile away...

Didn't watch, but stats suggest it was a slaughter. Worth watching? Still feel bad that Tarzan, Ucal and Viper are hanging around on a bottom tier team this year.
