And it's bullshit.

We have LCS commentators to pander to NA sheeple audiences. We don't need writers to do it too.

Coast is not worst team in league. XDG is, and in current trends, they look stronger than EG and Curse as well. They're probably tied with Dig for 4th in terms of current performance. Some of the top teams even expected them to be like top 3 before season started. They clearly got skill, it's not overly surprising to me that they beat TSM.

"Coast is not the worst team in the league" still doesn't excuse putting TSM above Samsung Blue and iG.

I saw the error of my ways and I take back my earlier statements. We cannot doubt the wisdom of Jack "Regularly watches most of the 5 major leagues" Ho.

it's not surprising that an article on lolesports might have a vested interest in pushing an image of parity between leagues, and even less surprising that the writers will steadfastly refuse to admit any bias. it may be disingenuous but i don't blame them for their position, since it's sort of their job to keep people interested in watching lcs

also isn't this offtopic to offtopic

Neo when I told you that Chinese teams looked shitty this season, I meant relative to real internationally relevant teams, not NA LCS.

So in my Pokemon HG run I'm sitting at Ho-Oh but I just realized that I don't have any sort of status-inflicting moves except on a level 14 Ghastly. I got the bitch down to like 1% health and then it just destroyed 7 Ultraballs and 10 Greatballs. I really don't want to waste my Masterball on it though, so I reset (saved right before the encounter) and am considering my options.

I mean, I want to save my Masterball for one of the Legendary Beasts, but the only Pokemon I have that can take a hit from Ho-Oh are Feraligatr and Gyarados, and neither can learn a sleep/paralysis/etc type move.

Frustrating. I don't really want to sit around and grind up my Ghastly, so I might just chuck the Masterball and then build a capture 'mon for Suicuine and his bros later.
