Remove Tabbz from your list, who is 2 scared 2 dps. Creaton is amazing only on ezreal, somewhat luckluster on others... Also, Puszu great adc, Rekkles not playing even close lately, is he free or what?

Americans getting angry over a word oh how american of you guys :-) on a more serious note, english is not their native language, they have no idea what "rape", "fuck" and "shit" means to an american/british audience.

He just used one of the commonly used words while talking about League. Which is exactly the problem.

I'm not personally offended by the word, but I don't want to give critics of game culture even more ammunition about how eSports is sexist. I'd just prefer if it stayed classy to appeal to a broader audience.

grats to CW, just hope they pay their players. I am quite excited for NA vs EU tomorrow. HYPE.
|
Sad to see MYM go Only Czaru and Libik really seemed like LCS-caliber players in this series though, Kubon did nothing outside of game 1 and the brothers were completely outclassed by Forgiven and Amazing.
Perhaps if KMT and MYM create a polish superteam they could come back? Something like Xaxus, Jankos, Czaru, Celaver and Libik?
|
Imo only CLG vs ATN and maybe Fnatic vs C9 will be close. Alliance should stomp dig, TSM will crush the puppies and GG should beat any NA team easily if they play seriously Overall it should be a pretty close series like 3-2 either for NA or EU :-)

Didn't see him do anything useful in all the games, even the one they won.

Alex just came out of hospital yesterday I think, he was there for 2 weeks. So they only have 1 week of practice on the new patch now.

True it might not be a complete stomp like it was at IEM but GG just does not lose to NA teams, given a weakness or not, another Gambit member will rise and carry Alex and the team.
I also don't know about ATN ? i have never seen kerp play mid before, it seems like an emergency switch instead of a omg Kerp is destroying mid. (that might be entirely my opinion there ) I feel if CLG ever is going to win something, now is there chance, even if Kev1n is going to eat Nien, they got Dexter to back up Link. And Link played very well vs Fnatic just a couple of weeks ago to carry and snowball CLG. Botlane should be rather even, both strong AD and suports, any roaming mid or jungle is going to affect this lane alot.
Fnatic seems to actualy have practiced again, so just like worlds i see them beating C9 and if they watched GG vs C9 they will find some winning strats against buff/farming heavy Meteos. They are also simply stronger individual in each single lane appart from Jungle.
TSM had time to adjust to Burgerking, while LD seem to lack any form of preperation. + LD are amateurs with very little xp on stages appart from Shlaya and ImSoFresh. And those 2 aren't renowned for there solid play on LCS level either. Would be cool if they atleast put up a fight and we don't get to see something like Gaming Gear EU 2.0
Also grats to CW, well deserved though i liked MYM they seem like a great bunch of guys. I hope they do well in other events.

Yet you would put Candy in there ? Tabzz sure he's been AD 1 season and did decently to soon to call him at the top. But Genja has proven time and time again he is one of the best AD's we have in europe and for sure belongs up there, above maaaany of those mentioned.

Based on merit - Rekkles and Creaton Based on recent performance - Genja and Forg1ven Based on hype - Freeze Solid - CandyPanda and Tabbz.
That's really how the EU AD carries look right now. If Rekkles and Creaton regain their form, they're the best in Europe. I'm keen to see how CrazyCaps adds to that list.

Sounds fair, though i would not put Rekkles up there on merit just yet, but still more on the hype. Yes he did well vs DL but he also got trashed by GG botlane the next moment, before he played amateurs mostly with CW, dominent yes, but not enough to justify im on merit. IMO he still is based on Hype. (IPL5 was ages ago)
the rest i would agree.

Waiting to see how C9's performance will be this tourney after their lackluster showing in IEM Cologne (can be ascribed to Lemon/Hai returning from Vietnam only a few days prior, but still).
Also, must carry the torch of the tortured and abused Dig fan. I...must...BELIEVE. If CLG fans could do it the past 2 seasons, so can I. It's only froggenivia.

Betting odds for the SHC vs. SK game SK -175, SHC +143 (via PinacleSports)
So the oddsmakers believe that SK wins 63% of the time
