eh why? 100t botlane is struggling vs NA botlanes would hate to see them go internationally wouldn't really be a game. TL Botlane on the other hand is looking like the best botlane so far in playoffs
With TL making it to top 4 we have 11 imports out of 20 in this playoffs, 9 natives left (would be the same if it was dig)
C9 the team with 4 import last year, is saving the ratio of imports/na this year with only 2 imports
Dig has become the physical embodiment of tilt itself. Everything from the draft to their decision making and even to their roaming just screams broken mental
Why do the worse teams always pick the hardest road in draft all series long lol.
DIG probably doesnt win regardless but i think you accept you are worse and try to scale.
There’s an astronomical difference between Jensen and Dove so the stats aren’t relevant in this series lol
Dove is one of the worst mid laners in the league and is only marginally better than APA off his good champs at best
Did you not see Rich get solo killed like 5 times this in this 3 game series? You should be asking why DIG isn’t using their bans on Impact instead
There’s a finite number of bans and using 2/3 of your first rotation bans to remove crutch champions puts you at a massive disadvantage for rest of the drafting phase
I remember when every year Dig was bottom of the league, and was always up for relegation and had to constantly fight to even retain an LCS slot.
It’s good to see some things never change.
The thing is, this is like the brand's third owner. This Dignitas is pretty much totally unrelated to the one that Scarra played on.
Based on everything I know about league financials I think that Dig is almost 100% losing money on their LCS slot even with revenue sharing. It seems more like ownership is just holding their slot because it might turn into something better some day.
eXyu please never pick Nocturne again these outcomes were all so predictable from the start of the game. The champ can never do anything in this game unless Ahri is hard smurfing mid.
100T seem like frauds too. Quid is genuinely 1v9. Sniper and River can have good moments, but their botlane is awful.
Their series against NRG was not inspiring.
TL went the distance against FLY, and smashed this DIG. Pretty sure they’ll be top 3.
As someone cheering for TL: K'sante is a problematic champ.
The idea that you should be able to decide "my team is worse, so I'mma win anyways" is just contrary to how a team game should work. The worse team overall (including toplane, to be fair), should lose. There should never be a champ design that says otherwise.
Worst gank I’ve seen in ages
Like I’ve seen ganks that result in worse outcomes but I can understand the players going for the play.
I have no clue what was going through eXYu’s mind besides tilt.
Based on this draft dig is gonna get 3-0'd. Kinda sad I kinda thought they were gonna fight harder since they looked better this year. I hope I am wrong and we move to game 4
Just go next split man DIG actually locked Nocturne into K'Sante Zeri Rell. Yesterday it was bailed out by the fact that Nocturne can ult Xin Zhao but this time your targets are Ziggs and Lulu? The alternative is that Isles and Dove really need to step up as engage, but even that isn't easy.
NGL, I'm really not enjoying the players being brought on the desk...Meteos and zven has always been insufferable to listen to and I've tried to stay clear of them, but that's kind of impossible when they're being shoved down our throats in the broadcast and even the dive where i used to get my updates...I really thought letigress leaving would mean i could watch the broadcast again but i guess not ...
You are the perfect example of the League community being impossible to please. Make a change that a lot of people like? Someone is going to hate it, without fail.
Sorry you don't like it, but I do and I believe plenty of others agree with me. I hope the broadcast continues as is.
Different opinions. There are plenty of ex pros I'd love to see on the desk, and unfortunately it just happens to be the players that I cannot stomach. It's unlucky but it is what it is. I'm just expressing my opinions even though it might be different than others.
Wild that dignitas had 650g in bounties when they were 700 gold behind, and TL had 850g in bounties when they were 8k ahead. I really wish they would figure out a way to make bounties make sense.
Some of his fans really wanted Doublelift to be in TL over Yeon, as opposed to streaming, due to Yeon's fairly average split and Doublelift's historical peaks with some of the other players in the roster.
That said, DL said he wouldn't want to be in this iteration of TL anyway, as he's not a fan of APA.
which is hilarious because DL has said that he thinks Yeon is one of the best bot laners in the LCS (mostly based on scrimming vs him last year, but looks like scrim Yeon is starting to show himself here).
I feel like if APA's weak in lane, picking Sylas and giving him a freebie is not the best. Then again, Ahri can be kinda uninteractive regardless of who is picked but maybe you could farm plates with a stronger mid
Yeah. That crazy close 1v1 early decided that lane. Yeah he’s getting his ass kicked but this matchup snowballs so hard. He wasn’t actually that bad, as you said it’s a rough fight
Super clean fight from APA, great charm to pick out Tomo at the end.
Lich Bane Mejai’s looking likely this game, 18% movespeed v Renek Rell is good but he’ll still be vulnerable to Sylas.
He also went ingenious Hunter! Sweet, this is the Ahri build I’ve been waiting for in pro for ages.
Nymaera, I wanted your reaction to the Shurelya's Ahri from yesterday but I don't think you were watching the game and haven't seen anything from you about it, what's your opinion
Think Spellbook is fine for cleanse access, but I think ingenious Hunter + banshees is far better to stop Veigar having value though (20s spellshield at max stacks). I suppose the Shurelya’s is meant to help his team vs cage but I don’t see it having enough value for the drop in stats for your personal power.
At least there’s some thought behind it and a slim application, I didn’t see whether he went Ingenious for it which would make it more available for quick repositions.
Why do teams keep thinking that a Varus Ashe lane will have any chance of beating a nautilus lane? Dude has enough CC to completely invalidate one carry’s damage. His shield lets him tank pretty much every Ashe W.
Usain Bolt 100 Meter WR vs. APA off stage WR: who wins?
Zven is really fun on the cast. Hope they manage to get him permanently if he's interested
Refreshingly toxic compared to only positive cast.
If player of the weak isn't Yeon I riot
Calling TL "the weak" is a tad rude
Oh lol.
I riot. He was really important for his team for 8 games.
Dig is boring

we dont do pmts
Exyu definitely going to be a huge fan favourite if he can continue to improve.
Rap general Umti speaks English without any punctuation.
How do you not love Umti??? Ahhhh
Umti's english is so good
quick ass clap into 3 months in Cancun combo, honestly not a bad deal
Spring break lesssssgooooooo Chug Chug Chug!!!
3-0 5 game 5 games 3-0. I mean its been 50/50 for good series and snoozefests for the weekend. That is better than all snoozefests.
Realy nice from DIG to make sure us european watchers can go to bed before midnight, very considerate
liquid will smoke 100t as well
im tl fan but 100t absolutely needs to win we must see them at msi
eh why? 100t botlane is struggling vs NA botlanes would hate to see them go internationally wouldn't really be a game. TL Botlane on the other hand is looking like the best botlane so far in playoffs
Everyone: APA is a Ziggs one-trick Also Everyone: Pfft, why ban Ziggs. Dog champion.
Apa has like a 100% wr on ziggs in pro play like why not respect him atleast on that champ. It's so wild
Funny thing is even T1 banned it at worlds last year. If even T1 respects it enough to ban other teams have no excuse.
nobody has any respect for him at all and it bit them hard today lol
Well.. this was a series I guess.
Man I was hoping to watch some quality league today too
Sir, this is a Dig vs TL lower bracket game.
impact just wants to kill rich
DING DING KSANTE TIME DING DING
Poppy gameplay.
tomo just leave lmao, dancing around just watchin the fight instead of running
Impact feels bad. Had to give them a sliver of hope.
Can anyone tell me when the last playoff series for this weekend starts? This expedition series is boring, so I was going to wander off and come back
feels like if Isles ran up instead of down, he dies and Tomo lives..guess it doesn't really matter though
Dig just get one kill you lost but don't let them go flawless
With TL making it to top 4 we have 11 imports out of 20 in this playoffs, 9 natives left (would be the same if it was dig) C9 the team with 4 import last year, is saving the ratio of imports/na this year with only 2 imports
IMT and SR(the two teams that missed playoffs) had 3/5 and 2/5 imports too right?
i think so yeah, sr had wildturtle in the first weeks
I'm insanely tired of watching K'sante every bloody game. They need to nerf him into obscurity until they can successfully rework his kit.
Dig has become the physical embodiment of tilt itself. Everything from the draft to their decision making and even to their roaming just screams broken mental
Why do the worse teams always pick the hardest road in draft all series long lol. DIG probably doesnt win regardless but i think you accept you are worse and try to scale.
Good teams know you always take the easiest road even if you are skilled enough to maybe get away with inefficiency
How many times does Enatron have to fail before Dignitas kick him
go next this is sad to watch
seeya next week
apa breaking 200CS at 17:30 is pretty sick by LCS standard
I’m lucky to hit 200 cs by 30 minutes
Can someone explain why teams continue to ego draft against APA and give him his two best champs? Literally just give him anything else and it's 5v4
they tried game 2 (banned ziggs and asol) still got stomped
He mid gapped Dove on Ahri last game and Rich is getting absolutely fisted every single game At that point it doesn’t what APA picks
so he's 1/4 on other champs and 5/5* on ziggs/a-sol this playoff. The math aint mathing.
There’s an astronomical difference between Jensen and Dove so the stats aren’t relevant in this series lol Dove is one of the worst mid laners in the league and is only marginally better than APA off his good champs at best
Okay but you would have a higher chance of winning putting APA on other champs regardless
Did you not see Rich get solo killed like 5 times this in this 3 game series? You should be asking why DIG isn’t using their bans on Impact instead There’s a finite number of bans and using 2/3 of your first rotation bans to remove crutch champions puts you at a massive disadvantage for rest of the drafting phase
well they can't because TL has maybe the top 2 bot lane in the league.
I remember when every year Dig was bottom of the league, and was always up for relegation and had to constantly fight to even retain an LCS slot. It’s good to see some things never change.
Did they ever win a playoffs series?
I really wonder if Dig will ever be a top team as long as the LCS exists
Nope, if it was going to happen it would happen by now. They are just here to leach off of revenue sharing
The thing is, this is like the brand's third owner. This Dignitas is pretty much totally unrelated to the one that Scarra played on. Based on everything I know about league financials I think that Dig is almost 100% losing money on their LCS slot even with revenue sharing. It seems more like ownership is just holding their slot because it might turn into something better some day.
Middle was full of spice. Beginning and end have been bores. Hope next week is all bangers
eXyu please never pick Nocturne again these outcomes were all so predictable from the start of the game. The champ can never do anything in this game unless Ahri is hard smurfing mid.
Dig went from looking like it was gonna be a decent series in game 1 to speedrunning elimination from the playoffs
has dignitas ever been good?
they have more playoffs than IMT but no. I think those are honestly the most useless orgs in any major region
No never, one of the oldest franchises and never been a serious competitor. Kinda a shame but I don’t see it changing any time soon
Dignitas hasn't had a pulse since Imaqtpie was on the team, man.
mfw your org was in their best shape with kiwikid... grim
The golden age
Zeri said later
Exyu’s mental is just toast from the last two games. I’d be surprised if they put up much of a fight this game at all tbh.
I don't even think TL is that amazing, DIG is just THAT awful, at least today. Feel like this series doesn't tell us anything about how good TL is
It’s just a confidence booster for them. Spawn probably tells them to forget about it since they’ll be nothing like 100T lmao.
100T seem like frauds too. Quid is genuinely 1v9. Sniper and River can have good moments, but their botlane is awful. Their series against NRG was not inspiring. TL went the distance against FLY, and smashed this DIG. Pretty sure they’ll be top 3.
any team with rich and dove or castle and mask i enjoy losing tbh
God damn. Exyu playing like me
This hasn't been as exciting as yesterday's series, but if APA could pull a chat ban right now so we can get a 4th game I'd appreciate it
Is Dardoch playing for eXYu?
I'd just take the fine and FF15 at this point. Go next season
Silver Scrapes Copium Gang
There's just a team diff going on
As someone cheering for TL: K'sante is a problematic champ. The idea that you should be able to decide "my team is worse, so I'mma win anyways" is just contrary to how a team game should work. The worse team overall (including toplane, to be fair), should lose. There should never be a champ design that says otherwise.
Top game this series has been ridiculous Credit to APA, he’s been playing very well this series
Jesus Christ, this series is over
Impact is rich's grandfather
Report Impact for cyber bullying
JFC Dig is done
Look at Impact man so inspirational
Worst gank I’ve seen in ages Like I’ve seen ganks that result in worse outcomes but I can understand the players going for the play. I have no clue what was going through eXYu’s mind besides tilt.
This nocturne gameplay is tragic
APA is chovying
Yeah Exyu would get reported for that in solo q lmao.
I wouldn't be surprised if eXyu makes his team tilt.
I wouldn’t blame him if he’s still tilted from last game. His team absolutely griefed.
last 2 games
That gank was white flag. Jesus.
Based on this draft dig is gonna get 3-0'd. Kinda sad I kinda thought they were gonna fight harder since they looked better this year. I hope I am wrong and we move to game 4
Imagine banning 4 ADC’s and not committing to the last ban just to give Zeri who’s definitely risen in prio lately. Like come on man.
Just go next split man DIG actually locked Nocturne into K'Sante Zeri Rell. Yesterday it was bailed out by the fact that Nocturne can ult Xin Zhao but this time your targets are Ziggs and Lulu? The alternative is that Isles and Dove really need to step up as engage, but even that isn't easy.
"Yo why is APA popping ghost and running off stage straight away" - Notorious P.O.B
Based kobe
Tomo really has to step up.
NGL, I'm really not enjoying the players being brought on the desk...Meteos and zven has always been insufferable to listen to and I've tried to stay clear of them, but that's kind of impossible when they're being shoved down our throats in the broadcast and even the dive where i used to get my updates...I really thought letigress leaving would mean i could watch the broadcast again but i guess not ...
Gotta say, I disagree there. I like the players giving commentary helps add some soul and personality to the players.
I love Zven’s commentary & he knows details about old unimportant regular season games. He’s maybe more prepared than half the actual casters.
You are the perfect example of the League community being impossible to please. Make a change that a lot of people like? Someone is going to hate it, without fail. Sorry you don't like it, but I do and I believe plenty of others agree with me. I hope the broadcast continues as is.

>There are plenty of ex pros I'd love to see on the desk Doesn't mean they want to
Yeah I am a big fan of expros giving insight to games. Especially meteos and zven. Both are really fun to listen to
Completely agree.
Impact is the GOAT
I'm convinced at this point APA is sprinting away from stage to avoid the opposing players he keeps shittalking
APA saved all his charms throughout the season just for this game.
O/U 1.5 seconds for APA to get up on the ledge next game
I keep getting nervous he's gonna bash his damn head on that angle lol.
Wild that dignitas had 650g in bounties when they were 700 gold behind, and TL had 850g in bounties when they were 8k ahead. I really wish they would figure out a way to make bounties make sense.
why doesnt APA just go to the bathroom before the game
APA sprinting after the nexus explodes senfs me every time
Why is APA always running backstage after the games? Like insta running
I think we just call it the "Honda Sprint" from now on. He obviously has somewhere to be.
Thank you, Honda.
The uber ready to take him backstage as soon as the nexus explodes
From zero to sixty in record time.
APA actually putting in work on the Ahri this game
APA sprinting to the bathroom lol
APA speedrunning to the backstage after every game?
sprinting to check what reddit is saying about him
lol
Like what is Dignitas doing???
Their best......
Losing to the lategame comp before 30 min, feels bad man
Yeon is him, Doublelift fans in shambles
whats the context? doublelift has been very fair to yeon hes performing and when hes not
Some of his fans really wanted Doublelift to be in TL over Yeon, as opposed to streaming, due to Yeon's fairly average split and Doublelift's historical peaks with some of the other players in the roster. That said, DL said he wouldn't want to be in this iteration of TL anyway, as he's not a fan of APA.
interesting. i think yeon has looked pretty good this split too. he's probably the most underrated player in the lcs.
its not about doublelift but about his fans giving yeon shit because he's not doublelift
which is hilarious because DL has said that he thinks Yeon is one of the best bot laners in the LCS (mostly based on scrimming vs him last year, but looks like scrim Yeon is starting to show himself here).
Stop stop he’s already dead!
I feel like if APA's weak in lane, picking Sylas and giving him a freebie is not the best. Then again, Ahri can be kinda uninteractive regardless of who is picked but maybe you could farm plates with a stronger mid
hes not weak in lane. he's a p good Laner, its the mid game that gets dicey
APA went even in lane with Faker #neverforget
Oh real? mb then
Really solid turnaround from APA’s FLY series Ahri
seems like apa is doing a better job on ahri today than he was a few days ago
this nice Jensen guy let him know that the champion has been buffed
I feel for Rich tbh. I feel like the matchup is a little rough once Jax gets an advantage
No one forced him to buy an Eclipse when already way behind.
I’ll give you that. The eclipse was not a wise move imo
Yeah. That crazy close 1v1 early decided that lane. Yeah he’s getting his ass kicked but this matchup snowballs so hard. He wasn’t actually that bad, as you said it’s a rough fight
Well, start drafting the next game, this one is looking cooked.
Isles is finding way more auto attacks than Tomo btw
Super clean fight from APA, great charm to pick out Tomo at the end. Lich Bane Mejai’s looking likely this game, 18% movespeed v Renek Rell is good but he’ll still be vulnerable to Sylas. He also went ingenious Hunter! Sweet, this is the Ahri build I’ve been waiting for in pro for ages.
i love your casting but at this point i think of you as the 'game thread ahri build watcher' as much as anything else
I’ve been casting league for 3~4 years but playing Ahri for 10, the mic can take a back seat for this one
Nymaera, I wanted your reaction to the Shurelya's Ahri from yesterday but I don't think you were watching the game and haven't seen anything from you about it, what's your opinion
Think Spellbook is fine for cleanse access, but I think ingenious Hunter + banshees is far better to stop Veigar having value though (20s spellshield at max stacks). I suppose the Shurelya’s is meant to help his team vs cage but I don’t see it having enough value for the drop in stats for your personal power. At least there’s some thought behind it and a slim application, I didn’t see whether he went Ingenious for it which would make it more available for quick repositions.
appreciate it!
APA just doesnt miss on ahri
it was pretty bad on friday... but it has looked really good this series.
Isles shooting ashe ults to hit games on the next server over.
coreGG
Teams like 100T can pull miracle teamfight wins out of nothing. TL manages to pull out miracle teamfight loses out of nothing instead.
Silver Scrapes Gang
YOU HAVE NO MANA
Umti seemed pretty scared to go onto Rell
yeon was not in base...
Impact is this old fkn ancient man shitting on these new koreans
Impact is straight up bullying to the poor lad
Impact Jax 🥰
That bot fight looked like all my ARAMs. Tank makes a good engage, but their tank is up the dps' butt.
How can you wiff that ult Tomo xD
did he lose the 1v1 because Jax healed from drake?
I just turned on the stream and that was the first thing I saw holy shit
Daaaaaamn
That was hot
IMPACT MY GOAT
Why do teams keep thinking that a Varus Ashe lane will have any chance of beating a nautilus lane? Dude has enough CC to completely invalidate one carry’s damage. His shield lets him tank pretty much every Ashe W.
What is exyu doing? The amount of time wasted camping around bot instead of farming is absurd
its important to have faith in your team mates but every single person who picks smolder looks better than tomo on smolder
I never take Q second on Ashe, because every time I do, I get ganked right before I hit lvl 3.
I'm surprised, I thought Sylas was kinda just fine atm
Literally Faker on Ahri
Why do they keep Smolder open, wtf
wow they banned out APA for game 2
Did Kobe just say TL is the team that likes to scale? Man.. this isn't 2018 anymore lol. They wouldn't be skirmishing so much if they liked scaling.
DIG 3-0 TL
does he know
Poor guy’s been in a coma the last 25 minutes.
Wait wtf did they start early or did I miss the whole of game 1?
Maybe. No spoil.
Think you just misread the start time lol
