overall id say the games arent worth watching. the games were 1 sided and the only notable highlights were chovy completely dumpstering sword in lane in game 1.
if youre watching it for the narrative of doran vs sword and then the series is a bit of a let down.

What are people's opinion on Doran so far? LS rates him mid pack and miles from the top, but I thought he was playing fairly well when I watched (only about half of his games though), and could hold his own. Chovy is probably top 3 toplaner anyway, based on what we saw at the start of the split, he's just a monster talent.

for once id agree with ls and say doran is pretty mid tier. he does whats required by the team in terms of macro but he aint no khan, theshy, kiin when it comes to straight up beating your opponent.

LCK will go on a break after the end of Round 1.

Where was MSI supposed to be this year? Looks like, at best, we could get a new BOTA? I think that would be fun enough to be worth hosting.

Never announced. Worlds is in China. Word is MSI was going to be in Dubai...lol. Now I've heard Australia as a potential destination.

I mean, I guess its lucky they procrastinated, kinda. But you can't get a good venue booking this late. Hasn't this happened to Riot before? Like kinda recently.

Watch GenG vs DWG game 2 if you want to see one of the weirdest games of the split. Casters didn't even focus on the pentakill because nobody understood what just happened.

Think today once again proved that T1 is better than DRX, but:

Game 1 shows what a joke ocean soul is. A full build Orrn upgrade Cait is unable to put a dent in an Aatrox with 1.5 armor items and Death Dance, what a joke. Late game comps feel like RNG simply because the real 'late game' is getting ocean or mountain soul. Teams have picked up on this and draft champs that fully exploit it, I'm pretty sure that a legit reason why pros are jumping on Kalista is because her buffs mean that if you get those two souls you're unkillable, Deft would go in to poke Teddy and wasn't even able to get through BT shield.

The same two souls are turning bruisers into unkillable super tanks that also do a lot of damage. Specifically Aatrox/Morde/Sett who have some form of sustain and/or shield (and also Orrn, but by design he's supposed to be super tanky), they just roll over teams when they get those souls because if you ignore them they're full health hitting your carries, or they soak your entire team's damage while their own carries focus you down.

ngl i am really salty this game T1 outplayed, outfarmed and outfought Gen.G but Gen.G won because they drafted a broken adc that Ruler didn't even play that well for most of the game

Edit: Damn I forgot that Gen.G took first turret so of course they win, my bad lol

Edit 2: Honestly T1 Clid this series... like getting caught 3 (actually 4) times across 2 games is just not good play from Clid at all

Honestly, this series could have easily been a 2-0 if not for the certainlyT 2020 champ>>>certainlyT 2016 champ. T1 still top of LCK after those changes.

Faker being forced to play Lethal Tempo on Akali because of client lag tells you everything you need to know about the state of the game. Not enough to stop T1 from winning, but still pretty bs.

GenG slips further down on the ranking list, T1 def above them and it looks like DRX is also better when Chovy is playing his best (but seriously, that was one of the most disgusting Zoe games anyone has ever played).
