Nice to see Akali back though. Miss those Westrice days...

 

[Burt]

Yeah, pretty ridiculous Akali game. Good seeing Yasuo get crapped on by an old school champ.

 

[ShdwDrake]

That was great. Good to see people not picking the flavor of the season champions.

 

[Mothman91]

Jeez, Voyboy was out of control lol.

And I liked seeing a non conventional jungle pick with that Pantheon.

 

[Imperfected]

Pretty impressive play by Curse. Maybe they can return to their status as North America's proper villain team this season.

 

[Sr Kitsune]

Time to see Teemo

Spoiler

I really, really hope they don't actually pick him, and if they do, I hope they lose

 

[Nastrodamous]

IWD seems to be doing well on Saint Vicious junglers.

 

[Brick]

Wow, Curse really showed up. That was some incredible Akali play by Voyboy

 

[Burt]

Can't remember the name of the announcer on the right, but he's terrible. One of those broadcasters that can't use a phrase without using the wrong words, and just provides terrible analysis even with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight. He's like the Joe Buck of esports.
Edit: whoops, not these guys, the one that was with Phreak.

Need moar Teeeeeemo. Not gonna go dig the post up, but I totally called him being secret OP right before he started getting picked yesterday and I'm just happy to see the little man getting some respect.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Lol at the Hotshot bans

Curse is looking much better.

EDIT - Cass Vs Zed? This will be interesting

 

[Burt]

Glad Cass got in there so we could avoid the most boring picks in the history of LCS.

The 100% vest rate of these announcers is incredibly annoying for some reason.

It's Hotshot playing Cass, so don't get too excited.

Also, the casters clearly need ascots.

 

[DeadNames]

Much respect to CRS for that last game.

 

[Saren is Bad]

C9 is sooooooo good

I think you are talking about Jatt. I really like all of the announcers in the LCS (and Monte of course). They all provide some nice personality and none of them are annoying in my mind.

Jatt's usually not that bad. Riv and Kobe are terribad individually and especially together.

On another note, that C9 comm was hilarious - "I got cumshot (Elise's cocoon) in 5"

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

C9 OP

 

[dimb]

he probably means rivington.

 

[Edwardo]

I think Jatt has some of the best insight for the NA casters.

 

[Imperfected]

Scarra on the verge of tears and champion select hasn't even started yet. Keep it together, big guy, Bjergsen will probably let you off with only two or three solo lane kills.

 

[Mothman91]

Rivington has that black hair but looks grey when it's shined on.

Reminds me of my hair.

 

[Imperfected]

Real talk: Riv + Kobe casting team is there for the somewhat surprising number of female viewers. They're basically booth babes. (I kid, Kobe actually put in his time in the casting bush leagues with Wombat and Studio, he's not that bad.)

Not sure about this Warwick versus Trundle. He tanks through sustain, yes, but that works on Shyvana/Mundo because they aren't actually doing that much damage. Trundle first building BotRK can actually power straight through someone.

Edit: I guess Dyrus could just jungle the whole game, that works, too.

 

[Hubb]

It doesn't look like TSM needs Dyrus right now, he could do w/e.

 

[Mothman91]

Ughhh, Bjergson is too much to handle now lol.

 

[Imperfected]

This is true.

Now, Scarra. Now you have permission to cry.

 

[Hubb]

Well that is it, 4v5 without LB. Granted the game was probably over way before this too.

 

[Saren is Bad]

Scarra so bm haha

 

[Wolf Akela]

I'm catching up with this but I'm only watching games with uncommon picks. Watching CRS vs XDG right now.

Well, the rest of them aren't that weird. I'm actually impressed Curse finally brought one of the compositions they play in Challenger into pro play. Before they were running them constantly in scrims, but then turning around and playing orthodox comps that don't work well with their team at all.

kobe+riv vests were killer doe

NA LCS Super Week Day 3 Preview

 

[Edwardo]

22 minutes into CLG vs Curse and still no first blood.

 

[zkylon]

22 minutes into CLG vs Curse and still no first blood.

I thought the 20 damage reduction for top and mid lane was inelegant but seriously 20 minutes and not even a single fight because dominate failed the blue (dat aphro total disrespect) and couldn't make the 3v1 is awful

the fuck was this game

worst game of the year candidate I feel

 

[Imperfected]

What a mysterious juego. Hotshot reminding everyone that hitting spears isn't actually that hard when you've got so many slow-thinking targets.

 

[zkylon]

lol true

worst competitive match ever?

 

[sleepykyo]

4-0. Someone on Curse didn't die. That's his moral victory.

 

[zkylon]

backup plans, there were none

 

[Mothman91]

wow @ that match lol. Perfect rotations by CLG and keeping up with the tower sieging was perfect. I don't really like that style of play but it damn worked well for them.

 

[zkylon]

yea to be fair clg was pretty flawless at rolling over curse

the whole game looked like those times in solo queue when the enemy adc never connects and you just win by sheer momentum

 

[Edwardo]

Putting up a price on LemonNation's notebook. So many dirty little secrets in there.

 

[zkylon]

tribrush mundo vs shyvanna was more fun than curse vs clg

 

[Macattk15]

C9 being bodied by Dignitas so far.

Surprising.

 

[Leezard]

Yeah, I did not expect C9 to get crushed like this. They make some correct strategic pushes, but they can't really keep up anywhere else.

 

[Macattk15]

Yeah.

It's all because Gragas got so far ahead of Hai I believe. Hai has had 0 presence while the Gragas has been everywhere disrupting and killing.

Its was also funny when the full channeled The Culling did 0 damage to Vi.

 

[Leezard]

Yeah.

Indeed. Shutting down Riven can make her near useless, more so than most other mid laners.

 

[Mothman91]

Yeah, Hai was shutdown, completely.

 

[zkylon]

major respect for dig

 

[ShdwDrake]

Of all the teams to beat C9 I didn't expect it to be DIG. Much respect.

 

[sleepykyo]

That Varus player has to be shaken.
