At first I wasn't worried, but four 2-0 losses in a row must have smashed their confidence. Faker's been repeatedly caught overextending and trying to do too much, wasting his Flash in the first couple of minutes almost every game. I still think they'll get it together for playoffs, but Samsung, KT and Longzhu look like they'll hold spots 1-3 going in and so they might need to win 3 series there to avoid going to the gauntlet for Worlds qualification (depending on other results).

It's possible that they could. If they keep sliding like this they would probably have to qualify in the post season gauntlet to choose third seed. Even going 0-9, these players have such a history that I'm not going to assume they're out of worlds contention until they drop out of the gauntlet.
The minions would never get there in time. They did the right thing.
You meant this? So yeah you are right. But waiting until the minions arrive would take forever.

I agree with YamatoCannon's post-game talk - take as many inhibs as you can, probably 3, then run for it. With sOAZ already in base you're pretty safe. Trying to down a full HP tower without minions was a terrible mistake - it's way too tanky.

I don't follow League as much as I used too
is Faker still considered the best player in the world?

I love CLG's statement about it. What a polite way of saying he's a toxic little shit
pretty much
although not as dominant as he was
seriously
if he could just chill and work on improving himself he could be a top tier jungler
but instead he's throwing away all these chances at redemption

The best part is this makes TL sound really fucking desperate in order to fit Mickey in
What a fucking joke of an org

His invading always ruins his team's games. I've never considered him *that* good compared to his peers.
The fact that he's a toxic little shit is just icing.
Steve has money burning a hole in his pocket.

They need to bench Reignover so Mickey can come in due to the import rule IIRC
So they just picked whatever they could find

What I don't understand is how Steve is giving Dardoch another chance after they released a video to show off his big attitude problems and why they released him in the first place. The dude was giving major lip to the guy giving him his paycheck. I'd buy that Steve is doing what he needs to for his team to succeed if he wasn't bringing back a guy who actually creates issues with current members of the team. Piglet isn't going to magically work better with Dardoch. Dardoch isn't going to suddenly stop being an ass. I just don't understand this move.

He promised Steve he was reformed :^)

They already have Inori though. Dardoch is better, but I'm not sure if he's good enough to warrant the toxicity.

There's no such thing as being good enough to justify being an asshole. See Tarzaned.
I don't really think Tarzaned is good by LCS standards.

This College team, Team Liquid is playing pretty well in game 4
Also kinda sad for dota2 to have 650k ppl watching their finals on YouTube + twitch
This promotion tournament with teams no one likes is doing 100k

Zig completely choked at the end of game 5. Threw out one awful Rumble ult when TL sieged bottom inhib, then didn't use it at all (what the hell?!) when they pushed through the last inhib with multiple members below half HP. Needed to take charge of comms there and tell his team to dive them with it. Mickey carried the series for TL. Their bot lane lost 4 games out of 5, neither jungler did too much, top lane was irrelevant, but both mids did great work, Mickey when it counted. Matt's Bard was a great gambit in game 5 too, though.

Is that if we don't count China? Because I'm pretty sure China's not viewing the game on twitch. And it's also not counting people watching the finals in game.
Valve said Dota Finals were watched by 4.7 million people
You know what baffles me?
TL Dota 2 being so glorious winning what it is the World Championship of Dota 2 meanwhile and at the same time TL LoL struggling with Challenger teams.

Boo H2K and UoL for not picking fun champions

The difference is that TL's Dota team had champions who have a history of being pretty good players.
Yeah it was sad. H2K didn't even win with their tryhard picks.

Why does LPL have cheerleaders and did I just never catch it til now by switching channels so much?
No Hai. RIP C9.
Watch C9 have to go through the gauntlet to get to worlds and lose to Fly.

I'm so disappointed C9 lost game 4.
My boy Sneaky clutched it at baron, then threw it right after by standing on Taliyah's Seismic Shove.

Double AD comp is on a timer. Phreak pointed it out at one point after C9 lost 3 team fights in a row when he says, "I don't think C9 can win these fights anymore." At a certain point, they basically had to surrender.
Not the worst draft if you can close out, but they couldn't do it.
