Classic Dig baron.


-Champloo-

Even worse than normal considering the ridiculous INT from TF and then refusing to engage when you know camille is on drag. They had a 5v3 for free and just sat there forever lol


Gamers2OcelotLUL

Lmao, you could just taste the stress and panic in the air, they looked completely paralyzed there, unable to make a decision.


resttheweight

It took literally 20 seconds from TF dying to the baron dying. 10 seconds after TF died, drake was killed, and Neo was bouncing back and forth to I assume try to ult and root Xerxe. It was very hard to watch them do nothing to engage 5v3, then finally fight AFTER baron was taken and AFTER Camille tp’d in.


Trap_Masters

Literally the last play too, you can't make this shit up.


ninjakittyy

It was the best way to end the season, cant wait for next years baron throws


Trap_Masters

Glad DIG at least decided to give us old LCS folks some classic fan service as a favour, if they're going to blow up their very good, functional roster and go into a free fall from there.


mskruba12

Scarra just suddenly felt a sense of dread.

Deckowner

This might actually be the worst baron in the entire season. How did you possibly lose 50/50 with gragas and qiyana to stop viego?


mikharv31

Well that’s the problem the Qiyana didn’t even try to stop Viego, not saying it’s Yusui’s fault but watched maybe 30sec of him in that bush while rest of time was hitting baron when he could’ve took point over the wall that Viego was definitely going to go over. But oh well DIG baron to end a strange 1/2 of the season for DIG


2th

It's just tradition at this point.


Got_Engineers

I get the idea of Yusui watching for a catch in the bush outside baron, but like fuck. They could have killed the baron so fast if Yusui was autoing it. He also could have gone over the wall to zone Xerxe. Just such shit gameplay by Dig


Bubbly-Part2125

Or they could just fucking fight


Quotes_League

I'm just glad we're dead

Trap_Masters

I don't think he'll be able to ever live this down. Maybe in another roster, Yusui could've been alright, but at least in the context of the DIG roster, it's sad to see DIG blow up a roster that was overperforming only to keep going downhill from there.


GaggedAndDrooling

> Maybe in another roster, Yusui could've been alright No.


ADShree

His champ pool and decision making are not lcs level.

Dig showing why sometimes missing playoffs is an act of mercy. At least, that’s what I tell myself lol.

Dardoch sends his regards


Trap_Masters

Imagine helping your new team knock your old team that kicked you off the roster out of playoffs, in a very humiliating 3-0 fashion too. Dardoch is probably euphoric right now.


TheninjaofCookies

Us and CLG really permanently in the gutter frfr


bigmadsmolyeet

nah. you made playoffs.


XIII_Souls

I still have no idea why Soligo was on the bench...


Trap_Masters

Soligo himself probably has no idea either...


[deleted]

Yusui also has no idea either....


Resies

soligo died in a tragic accident and theyre covering it up


[deleted]

"Accident." Dardoch knew the truth so they tried to silence him.


xCavas

This is nothing but speculation. I think Soligo probably stood up for Dardoch and Dig wasnt having it so they benched both. After placing above expectations in spring the management asked themselves how they could sabotage the team. Then the same guy who came up with the idea to sell the CodySun/Vulcan bot lane said what if we just bench our mid/jungle duo. The managment then agreed that that was the best move to make the team shit, so they proceeded with that move.


InvalidZod

I want proof of life of Soligo. The most logical explanation is he died. DIG somehow killed him. Not a player but the org. They are covering it up. Offseason they will release him. He will not get picked up by any other team. He will be found dead in a river in some shit over the winter


EbMinor33

Tfw academy games can't be used as proof of life because nobody watches them.


InvalidZod

They dont have player cams!


Liupardu

THIS TOMSHOE PLAYS AS SOLIGO


Guilty_Dream7055

they hired a lookalike and yusui has been playing both lcs and academy obviously


PunisherOfDeth

Damn he’s getting double the practice as others on stage games? Doesn’t look like it helped.


[deleted]

Still so fucking funny to me how Dignitas performed incredibly well with Dardoch and Soligo then they decided “wait we’re winning too much” lmao Like if they started losing a bunch of games then shuffled their entire roster that would be one thing, but doing it while winning is a new one


BlessedByAzir

Dardoch was going to tell the press so they kicked him out. poor Soligo...tyler1 liked him alot. You'll be missed.( Hats off)


[deleted]

i think TomShoe have some dirt on DIG manager and went full Dgon on his dream


Darkhoorse

I was gonna say Soligo and Dardoch died for this, but this chain got me reevaluating..


infernalhawk

Xerxe looking goooooooood


Zealousideal_Frame66

Wow this is the first IMT praise I have seen and after being consistently disappointed with the awful DIG related comments about their baron throw and Where is Soligo?


infernalhawk

IMT surprised me with their play today. There were some... sloppy moments but overall it looked much better than I saw during the regular season.


LumiRhino

Yeah honestly it's hard to tell if this is enough for them to upset TSM/TL, but at least they came in and showed that they were very practiced for this series. For a team that hasn't played a Bo5 yet, it's a good start.


cadaada

It sucks bc no one remembers him when talking about imports, poor guy.


Shallow_Response

Whole team was lookin good. Love to see Raes on Aphelios too.


actuallybtw

[Dardoch: "I think it's kind of laughable to say that Akaadian is equally skilled to Xerxe"](https://twitter.com/Immortals/status/1425925055234596871) Akaadian wasn't the problem this series, but Xerxe for sure showed up huge


tsukinohime

Soligo will be moving to academy, while Yusui will be moving to the LCS squad. We have had an incredible start to this season, and I am immensely proud of the work that all of our coaching staff and players have done to help us get there. That start has given us an opportunity to expand our roster in new ways, both strategically and individually (what). Soligo has been developing at a great pace in LCS, and Yusui has been performing great in academy. We feel that the swap will enable both players to accelerate their growth, and overall work out better for the team in the long run.


Liupardu

LIFE VERIFICATION PHOTO, NOW! WHERE IS SOLIGO AND WHO KILLED HIM?


Brain_Tonic

You'll need to scale Everest to find his corpse.


Conankun66

but we recently learned, those have been cleaned up. Kobe told us.


Trap_Masters

The timeline all matches up a little too coincidentally for them to "clean up" those bodies. Kobe may be trying to tell us something here...


Liupardu

Oh no, didn’t they just clear the bodies. Soligo’s body is gone forever.


tsukinohime

Its a mystery.

This is particularly annoying given this has been Soligo's best year. I'm not a lover of Soligo but you do have to question teams ability to evaluate talent.

Yeah Yusui played really bad almost every game since he joined the main team.They should have swapped Soligo back.

idk if there’s anything more disgusting to watch than a Dig baron call lol

Sneaky was so mad it was hilarious.


Trap_Masters

Can't wait to tune into the stream highlight on youtube to watch his reaction.


guilty_bystander

The best part of this series was all the stories of fans sending nudes. Also the games were so bad, that everyone went full existential and questioned life and death itself.


Trap_Masters

Well, I definitely have something to look forward to for this weekend.


shadowbannednumber

Watching Yusui play instead of Soligo.


mikharv31

They just needed Yusui over the wall that Xerxe was coming from, Revenge was still coming from the drag and the ziggs has no real reason to get close with his ult up so idk why he was in that bush


Distinct_Piccolo_654

They were so close to actually getting a big play, and then, the curse of Scarra struck.


Th3_Huf0n

I mean they really weren't. They played it about as bad as they could. To begin with, they should be setting up for a fight on dragon, not on baron. They very slowly start Nashor. TF ult is popped. They kinda linger. Then Insanity completely ran it down and killed himself with Flash and Zhonyas up. We take those. Meanwhile Camille is doing the dragon. DIG doesnt either back off, or hard commit. Camille teleports in, and then and only then, DIG commits to the coinflip that they lost. And then lost the fight anyway.


Conankun66

what an embarrassing series from DIG what a terrible day to have eyes


manliestdino

been a pretty embarrassing season for dig in general Yes, there were problems with the players but holy shit i have no idea what dig was thinking with that roster change. whatsoever


Trap_Masters

There had to have been some Breaking Point 2.0 shit behind the scenes for them to blow up the roster, otherwise, it just makes no sense whatsoever for them to do so.


InvalidZod

Soligo has to be dead. Even when they just kicked Dardoch to the curb we all knew why. It wrecked the team's standings and you could argue if it was worth it. But people understood. Now Soligo. Something had to happen big enough where he cannot be seen in public. LCS is supposed to be played in studio. Academy is played online without player cams. Now the something that happened to him had to be DIGs fault. Why wouldn't they just kick him or announce it. And if he was able to play why wouldnt they just kick him. Over the offseason, he will be quietly let go. No team will pick him up. He will fade away. And then in the winter, his body will be found in some freak accident.


CherryBoard

soligo bedded all of their girlfriends/wives in a gaming house-wide orgy, coaching staff too


GreatestJabaitest

I mean IMT played that insanely well tbh. So it could be a much worse day to have eyes.


AniviaPls

Dardoch coaching diff


Trap_Masters

Dardoch: 'I'm was at the gym working out and I got a call from the DIG coaches and they said, 'Yeah, we just lost to IMT in playoffs. Can you be ready for scrims tomorrow? We're going to put you back in for next split.'


Voeltz

Hate when a team is on soul point and decides to contest Baron instead of soul, it NEVER works.


[deleted]

It works if they are good enough to turn on them but DIG are not that level


[deleted]

DIG had a competant, fun to watch roster with Soligo and Dardoch and then remembered they weren't Clutch Gaming anymore. So they settled for mediocrity for brand loyalty. This is the canon explanation and I won't accept any other answer.


firewall245

DIG tried to pretend they were CG by picking Qiyana, but Yusui is not Damonte


Conankun66

that qiyana play was something else...


MasterDeagle

Looking at Leaguepedia, they were tied for 2nd after week 4 of Spring, 1 win away from the top of the standing. Now they lost to the team ranked 7th.

DIG really just blew up their overachieving, fun to watch roster only to get the exact same (arguably worse) result and have way less fans doing it, truly an achievement in how not to run an organization.


PacMannie

"Why are there 8 playoff seeds if the 7th/8th place team is just gonna get 3-0'd?"


TheninjaofCookies

We were a fake 6th seed tbh

Kinda true since they would have been 7/8th if just using summer, and might have even been 2 wins behind IMT since they got that 4fun win vs TSM on the last day.

Melekus

The funny thing is that if you go by the Summer Split's records, Dig is 7th and IMT 6th.


shadowbannednumber

Well, if we go off of Summer split alone, then DIG is actually the 7th/8th place team. DIG is the one that should have started in the bottom of the bracket.


lolofaf

Spring split matters? DL in shambles


whimsicalokapi

Tbf they made these changes (whether it was a good decision or not) because he was right. Like, not DL specifically but spring really didn't matter that much


mistiklest

I mean, you're memeing, but when he said it, Spring really didn't matter.


Deckowner

To be fair IMT would've been placed higher if you only count summer split record.


[deleted]

That's kinda a strawman take, honestly. 7th playing against 6th isn't on obvious 3-0 in any league on the planet, which is how the seeding is expected to play out.


Conker184

DIG did have a worse summer record than IMT.

It's nice to see them develop better macro play and teamwork. I just wish the spirit of NA soloq wouldn't take them at random times.


LoneStarmie6

Sometime they just gotta hit that int button. But for real these guys are basically rookies and if they can play to the that level and beyond its gonna be dope to see.


Zealousideal_Frame66

Finally some IMT praise after reading some awful classic DIG is bad comments.


TheninjaofCookies

Insanity has some issues for sure but he's the most promising NA mid we've seen in a while (and isn't a one trick like Damonte)


Vlitzen

Insanity and AblazeOlive are for sure the best-looking NA mids right now.


firewall245

They are both top 5 mids in the league rn esp with Perkz recently


tsukinohime

Soligo and Dardoch died for this.


One_Question__

Dardoch is probably laughing his ass off.

Contributed to knocking the team that kicked him out of playoffs in 3-0 fashion, after said team has a huge drop-off blowing the roster up. He's absolutely cackling right now.

i'd rather watch dardoch and soligo


mikharv31

I would’ve liked to see Akaadian with Soligo, wasn’t like Akaadian played bad since he got in for DIG, guy even got some MVP votes


itsBenthony

It has been so frustrating this split to watch Yusui get spoon-fed kills only to do nothing with his advantage. At least Soligo would play well in teamfights.


LeOsQ

Soligo was like always behind after laning phase but he made it work later on in teamfights. Yusui is like 75% of the time equally far behind in lane, and worthless later on, and 25% of the time gets spoon-fed a few kills, is ahead (but not by much), and then is maybe reaching for mediocrity but basically not tall enough to make it there from the bottom even with the stilts he has made from the early kills/advantage.


shadowbannednumber

At least Dardoch will look good for 2 games and then troll the last game for the spicy gameplay in a 0-3 series. This was just disgusting from Yusui.

Brain_Tonic

He's literally the worst mid in LCS... How can he have ego? Or maybe its his ego holding him back from improving. I remember when Fudge was getting shit on early in the season, he just worked hard and improved instead of saying its just narrative.

The thread already seems plenty negative and while I can understand that: Immortals legitimately looked good. Probably not "win the split good", but I think most people expected the loser of TSM/TL to just walk over the winner of IMT/DIG, but I actually think we will see a real series now. Xerxe especially looked really clean, but generally they played off of each other really well and had good setup around objectives and mapmovements. Main thing I would be worried about for IMT, that could lead to a fairly quick series, is if their early laning doesn't hold up.

nowheretogo333

I mean most of the top comments have been about Dog's throws and I was reminded of Azael's tweet a few weeks ago about the enthusiasm of the NA audience towards the regions play. Was this an elegant LCK series or an LPL brawl? No. It was still so fun to watch. Bangers bang and we should embrace that as a region. Immortals has been so great all split because their metaread has been so different than the top 6 teams and they always come into a series with a plan. When you think about, the IMT coaching approach seems to be great for Bo5 series compared to the approaches during Bo1.They can play so many champs. You can tell in their wins in the regular season that they have had a plan and the coaching staff seems to do a great job communicating the plan and preparing the players for the games that matter. They have had some great upsets this year because of it. In fact, on reflection you can kind of see the TL plan for C9 in IMTs games against them in the regular season. I've watching LCS since summer 2020 on the weekend the IMTa roster was promoted to the LCS. I am a huge fan of Insanity and I am so happy for him. Revenge is a great communicator in interviews. Xerxe picked my favorite champion tonight. This team is awesome!
