Yep, like why give the EU casters the first series. It makes no sense. It's not like there was a KR team in the second series or something.

I didn't even think about it from the team's perspective either until they mentioned its 6:30 in Australia. I guess Riot had to make the choice between having the Beyond bo5 at a time that's good for PCS fans or the Peace series at a good time for the LCO fans. Still no excuse for the caster choices.

Yeah cause OCE is gonna 3-0 every series from now on and end the games early for me on their way to beating DAMWON and winning worlds!~!

Wtf that's just sad, series is over before it even began. Maybe HLE can spice it up by putting Chovy top, Morgan mid is probably same level as BYG auto filled mid.
|
The whole thing is just sad. The whole team's mentality must be boomed even if they stood a chance with a sub in the first place. The worst part is they definitely stood a chance at a game or two with their real roster

Well that was a league of legends series I guess.
Not a fan of this schedule, two super uneven Bo5s on saturday, nothing on sunday, and the main event starts with DK vs FPX on a monday while us euros are at work and NA folks have to sleep before work. Oh and the final day of group stage is also on a monday, who comes up with this shit?

Yeah today was a slaughter, yesterday's series were so close. Game 3 of C9 vs PCE felt over the moment Zven got that tower dive kill, rest was filler.
Big oof for DFM's group, EDG and T1 are methodical teams that try to minimize mistakes, so it's unlikely they can grab even a single win unless 100T stumble. Group A looks boring except for DWG vs FPX, but I think Group C and D will have lots of close bangers.

Watching the series right now, and seeing Fudge pick GP with Grasp. I thought that was nerfed back on 11.17? Like, doesn't GP get the ranged Grasp proc now on his Q? Or is it still melee?
|
Yes, but GP is still a good champ in the hands of people who can play him, aka hitting real barrel combos, not just your average triple barrel. He is basically LeBlanc tier, 99.9% of the player base has a negative winrate with him (he is 45% below Diamond, 50% in Masters+).

He is too safe. He negates almost every top laner. He gets free kills with R. Scales like a monster.
If your jungler isn't setting up dives for 15 mins straight then there's not much the other top can do.

looking at the groups now i think theres a pretty good chance that the tournament becomes all lpl/lck out of groups.
group c is probably where theres a bit of doubt about hanhwas chances, but for group d i think in the end it will be gen g and lng.

Group C is probs the biggest question. Group D is actually a group where I expect some tiebreakers so it could go many ways.

It seems possible, but HLE has gigantic exploit areas and LNG has a tough group, so only groups A and B are likely to be KR/CN dominated. And imo those are the top 2 seeds of each region, so it's not that crazy compared to other years.
