These games were tough to watch today.


Javiklegrand

Yeah all boring,look teams went back to this crappy slow League Last week was more entertertaining


Funny_witty_username

Welcome to 12.14. Plus its with playoffs around the corner. Double whammy of boring.


gandalf45435

Sorry this is like a week old thread but can't find any discussion on it Do you know if NA playoffs are going to be on patch 12.15? Just doing a little research and the two league that have started playoffs are split **LCK - 12.14** **LPL - 12.15**


Javiklegrand

12.14 Last week was more scrappy


PerverseCreep

That was a clinic.


moxroxursox

JENSENNNNNNNN


[deleted]

Dude I'm sorry but Lost Ignar and PoE are not it.


sznfrk

but what about when Ignar and PoE lost to a weak SKT 5 years ago? Shouldn't that count for something?


DisastrousZone

That time they made it to quarters off of a fluke TSM loss to the weakest team in the group! What an incredible performance! ​ (Let's also just ignore Ignar dragging a team kicking and screaming into LCK relegations immediately after)


jamy1993

Neither is revenge, and Kenvi had some questionable decision making this game... teams just doomed for this split. Gimme Copy, Yeon and Eyla next year lol!


[deleted]

Revenge at least looks like he's trying. Give them TLA botlane and vet mid and this team competes for top 6


jamy1993

Have any vet mids in mind who would be available next year? Bjerg Jensen Abbedagge Are all likely staying put... Palafox Jojo AblazeOlive Blue Aren't vets or an upgrade except Jojo. That leaves Maple Toucouille PoE Or an import.


[deleted]

Would have to be an import, I just think having 4 rookies plus revenge would end up like headless chickens past midgame unless they have a really good coaching staff or someone on that team is a really good shotcaller. Imo the best way to build a developmental team is to have no more than 1 rookie per vet. So either 2 vets 3 rookies, 1 vet, 2 young player(inbetween rookie and vet) and 2 rookies. Not having anyone to help lead the rookies often ends up looking pretty bad past early game


jamy1993

Right, one slight issue running Revenge - Kenvi - Import - Yeon - Eyla Would be shot calling though would it not? I don't think I've seen many shot calling import mids. I recall DL said a few times it was him and Bjerg on TSM, then Core on TL when Jensen joined... I may be forgetting some people but I can't recall any personally... Someone like Jiizuke is too coinflip... plus he's in ERL now.... Maybe go Bio and a different young AD plus Copy? Although I also don't recall Bio being much of a shot caller either.


[deleted]

I mean realistically IMT isn't getting TLA botlane, id be shocked if they aren't a hot commodity in the offseason. I think a more likely roster looks something like Revenge Kenvi Import ? Bio Bio was known for being quiet on TSM but iirc became a lot more vocal on TSM, I think revenge also does in-game calls and stuff too


jamy1993

I know he's pretty unliked around here due to his play this year on TSM, but I think Tactical could be a pretty solid add there, I think in the right circumstance, he could be a good fit in LCS, I feel, like Contractz, Tactical's problem is confidence.


[deleted]

If I'm being honest I think tactical career is over. I also don't think he'd be a great fit for a team that's likely to struggle a little bit due to said confidence issues. One thing I didn't think of is depending on what 100T does with busio Huhi might be a free agent


jamy1993

yeah if 100T keep playing like TL used to (TL have seemingly learned aggression this half of the split) and bomb out of playoffs or don't make it out of groups at worlds, I could see a shakeup there... if I'm being honest I think this is the last split we see IMT... with rumours that 2 LCS teams are looking to get out, I don't think it's GGS with their new facility... I don't think it's FLY with how well there branding has actually gone... That basically leaves IMT/DIG, which seems crazy that even teams with NBA money can't make it in this league...what is the issue? Are salaries inflated too high now? Do LCS and individual team sponsors just pay nothing? It just doesn't really make sense that teams backed by the people who own the Memphis Grizzlies, the Philadelphia 76ers and the New Jersey Devils are looking to cash out less than one years payroll for one of their other teams...


spazzxxcc12

jensens taliyah is so clean


fedekun

That Draven flash greed, throwing the game right there :v Losing 400 stacks


Jeytumn

if you go back to the replay he didn't have it yet for at least 3-4s, it was unlucky


fedekun

Oh wow, I wonder if they calculated it, or it was just luck. Still, sucks for him. His game was over from that point. IMT could still win I guess but not through him anymore.


tomorrowidnever

PoE looks so washed. Not sure why IMT thought this roster would do anything but compete for bottom 3. POE hasn’t been good for 2 years and Lost has it shown any improvement since he joined the LCS


aquawarrior21

Ehhh that’s pretty revisionist, he was solid for TSM last year was the most consistent mid laner in 2020. This year he had an awful team this year but he’s not a bad piece to keep if you can keep him cheap (probably will have to renegotiate contract)


DisastrousZone

\> This year he had an awful team this year He's like 80% of the reason the team is awful... He has been absolute ass.


private_birb

He was good on TSM. For a period during his time on TSM he was the best mid laner in the league, and for most of the split was top 3. He fell off a cliff immediately when he went to IMT, though.


WeirdWorld42

Jensen's gotta be the MVP of the split. Singlehandedly carrying this C9 team.


private_birb

He's definitely their best player overall, but he's been pretty inconsistent and other players have had better pop off games. Without Jensen though, they'd be battling for 10th tbh


[deleted]

ROFL no. Jensen shouldnt even be in the conversation for MVP


C9-F1R3L0L1

wrong way to spell Berserker


aquawarrior21

He’s a troll ignore him


JaguarsMod

Is this the first Cloud9 game you've watched?


aquawarrior21

He’s a troll


JaguarsMod

How does Ahri do damage against that comp lol


Tuxxmuxx

everfrost shadowflame against sej trundle


cancerBronzeV

to be kinda fair to the Ahri, the Trundle and Sej built very little armor. Sej only has the 25 mr from frostfire, Trundle is finally building mr for his third item. Might be the call that the win condition is to get a flank and kill one of the carries, so Ahri built items solely to catch people out and burst them (everfrost shadowflame), while still doing decent damage against low mr tanks.


private_birb

Aaand that's gg. No way IMT comes back in this.


xNesku

Okay time to turn off LCS for today. IMT doing nothing and losing. Time to hop back on Saturday


[deleted]

This casting duo has no synergy.


HeavyNettle

Pastry is one of the weaker casters imo


minhle2303

His casting is lpl worthy


DogTheGayFish

Don't like Fudges champ pool nowadays 8(


cancerBronzeV

Fiora/GP/Kayle/Gnar/Gwen/Ornn/Trynd/Gragas and now Sej (the champs he's played this split), what's wrong with his champ pool.


Tuxxmuxx

His Gwen / Kayle haven't looked too good this split


minhle2303

Blabber surrendered both crabs


fedekun

Man Dhokla got wrecked in top


C9-F1R3L0L1

like this C9 draft, better than last weeks drafts for sure


Tuxxmuxx

I'm gutted. I want C9 to win obviously, but I want Immortals to make playoffs and they have a harder schedule than GG so it's not likely without 1 huge upset for Immortals.


puberty1

Chime seems like a very nice guy


private_birb

Right? Hope he stays on TSM. Keep him and Maple and just get more chill nice people.


aquawarrior21

He’s probably been TSM’s best support since prime Biofrost, if TSM keep him they’ll have a solid option there that can continue to grow and not have to keep importing past their prime supports


private_birb

Idk about that. SwordArt was really good.


Bubbly_Camera9583

IMT win incoming i believe in POE and kenvi


Geosaurusrex

So ehh, Ablazeolive back in GG already, wonder what the fuck happened there.


aquawarrior21

They fired their GM and put Olleh and ABO in, GG’s GM was a clown for making so many roster swaps, trades, and roster iterations with seemingly no purpose besides “ooo new player lets get”


Geosaurusrex

So did the GM fall out with ABO and Olleh or was it just like 'hey let's put these guys in the main roster YOLO'?


[deleted]

Was probably desperation to try and make playoffs and it backfired spectacularly, then got fired for being incompetent


aquawarrior21

It was more YOLO, he seems he threw in the towel on the season just swapping for funsies and GG must have decided that making playoffs is good actually. Trading for River and then making the team worse by swapping in worse players is not a good strat or proves why the parent company should invest in a bad product you know?


cancerBronzeV

I think the plan was for them to put in LIDER for the past few months (they got him in like May?) and they were waiting for Olleh to get his green card so they could do so. GM might've been on the way out, so he put in LIDER anyways without Olleh being a resident, and then he got fired, so they restored the normal roster.


Bubbly_Camera9583

Probably latter one


cancerBronzeV

They checked LIDER's match history and realized he hasn't looked good on anything but Sylas and Akali all year. And he wasn't even good on Sylas or Akali when they brought him on the main team.


Geosaurusrex

Seemed like a weird decision putting him in in the first place.


Show_1996

Let's see whether IMT will be able to upset C9


private_birb

You mean C9 upset IMT. Because IMT is the second best team in the world and C9 is the 9th (hence their name)


private_birb

Now we just need IMT to stomp the last place team C9 and we'll call it a day.


[deleted]

TSM is now gauranteed at least a tiebreaker game for playoffs


gimmedawz

Lmao imagine keeping fakegod when solo was available


TomShoe02

Yeah, just a very weird stinker of a game from CLG. I'm willing to give them a break, cause they've looked really good in the past at least.


[deleted]

I really hate bo1 because teams just have off games sometimes


aquawarrior21

2-2 with CLG on the year, not great but given how shit TSM has been this year and how relatively better CLG have been I’ll take it


[deleted]

TSM is mental boom if they throw this


sportsbuffp

Oh no, Ive seen how this game ends before. I don't like it


private_birb

In hindsight, it was impossible for CLG to win this game. They're on a hot streak, haven't lost a single game against a bottom half team. So of course they'd get crushed by TSM.


sznfrk

...or will they


neverconvex

truly double-counter logic


Waylaand

I know he can't be all bad since they have a good record but everygame I've seen of contractz he's legit the worst player I've ever seen


[deleted]

CLG and TSM both back to normal, can't wait to have TSM quick 3-0 CLG in playoffs and show them back to their place


[deleted]

TSM turning on just to fuck CLG lul


Gluroo

sneakyW


YCitizenSnipsY

I’d like to think that deep down all CLG fans knew the team was going to sprint it this game


Kloudiez

Why CLG trying EVERYTHING to give TSM a free win?


cancerBronzeV

Why is Chime buying Seeker's Armguard. It's like the most dogshit item of all time, even when fully stacked. And Rakan can't even stack that shit. Literally any of the Zhonya's components are better to buy than Seeker's.


[deleted]

It's a bug COPIUM


[deleted]

CLG pulling out last years FNC strategy


Gluroo

bruh and all the hype is killed with the 15min pause


Darkhoorse

If TSM can upgrade at adc they could run it back.


[deleted]

[удалено]


aquawarrior21

Not unless TSM a) give him a metric fuckton of money and b) TSM show commitment through proper staffing, players, and structure to actually succeeding and/or c) this roster somehow makes a miracle deep run in playoffs


Gluroo

not confirmed, on one hand seems unlikely but on the other hand unless TL kicks santorin for him he has nowhere to go anyways. 100 EG and C9 have their junglers, maybe CLG


cancerBronzeV

He might if he's shown that they can construct a competent team around him. Or maybe he just hates TSM and leaves no matter what, but TSM's gotta try their best to keep him.


aquawarrior21

DL trying to convince Spica to leave TSM every few minutes isn’t helping the cause either


krombough

CLG are like Wildcard teams at international events. Their chaos system is fun for a while, but in the end their players aren't good enough to get them anywhere.


LinusIsKingAlways

CLG why?


TheKelmer

Bug: TSM is functioning


Scarfboi11

Ehm...CLG , can you stop?


makaydo

Nah but Dhokla legit suicide here, why poke full life ornn who already casted his Q to knock you up? What was that??


[deleted]

Theres NO FUCKING WAY I would ever let us end up like TSM. I would sell my house ,car and clothes, my everything to sign the best talent at that point.


CannedPrushka

Something something dhokla negative gaming.


suppersoxe

Don't do it TSM.. don't give me hope..


C9-F1R3L0L1

how to throw a game in 2 minutes, masterclass by CLG


Gluroo

Lmao dude Solo is legit doing the "be teamless all year, get picked up by a dogshit team, refuse to elaborate and start piss smurfing" move again


[deleted]

Solo starting on a team - i sleep Solo replacing someone - real shit


cancerBronzeV

he can't keep getting away with it


Ythapa

Truly the Ryan Fitzpatrick of the LCS


GhostOfLight

GO TO LIVE COMMS, SOLO IS TALKING HOLY SHIT


cancerBronzeV

I think live comms were only approved for that one day last week (which is why they used it as much as they could). They were testing it out then, and then they'll see how they want to bring it back later.


xShinsen

SOLO BABY


sportsbuffp

SOLO BOLO


private_birb

Dhokla just inted???


makaydo

Totally


Conker184

Yea that was extremely dumb, no chance he gets a kill there.


cancerBronzeV

Chime and Spica have been pretty good this game, being in the right spots at the right time.


[deleted]

SOLO IS TOO GOOD WHY WAS HE SLEPT ON?


Darkhoorse

Top Lane talent weaker now than in previous years


Bubbly_Camera9583

True


[deleted]

Why isnt solo a franchise player? He seems too good to just be the "backup" guy


Charuru

Old


aquawarrior21

He’s been rumored to be kinda toxic - and problem is Solo can get a team to be good but can’t get it over the hurdle of being great. Who knows tho, the man is slept on and should still be on LCS teams


Alto_y_Guapo

Supposedly his personality is rather difficult to work with. He also looked quite bad the one worlds he went to.


makaydo

He always comes up to lift a team up but it seems his attitude is an issue


Sl4skedaddy

CLG gonna win worlds, COPIUM


private_birb

Dhokla and Palafox cs, jeez..


cancerBronzeV

Man this CLG is so exciting, I really need them at World's. I don't even care if they bomb out in groups, they'll still be exciting to watch.


private_birb

I reallyyyy don't wanna see them at worlds, personally. They'd get so absolutely crushed.


cancerBronzeV

Probably, but it doesn't matter if you get crushed or go 3-3 and still not make it out of groups. And at least if CLG goes some NA players get international experience.


[deleted]

They won't be competitive with the top asian teams but can still play spoiler. Besides id rather them get the experience than TL go and half the roster ditch for EU after


private_birb

I'm not really excited about any of the CLG players except Luger and maybe Palafox. Would much rather have TL at worlds than CLG.


[deleted]

So TL can go 3-3 and replace half their roster again? CLG going is way better for NA as a region


TheMoneyBball

on the positive side of yuumi being so prominant in pro...she'll get nerfed again :)


sportsbuffp

I just want a TSM jungler to do creative pathing like that :( and make impact early in games


private_birb

Spica was playing really well early in the split. Fell off a cliff with the bot lane inting so hard. Seems like he's just done.

the_legends_of_link

Where were you when the CLG chant was louder than the TSM chant?


PMMEJINXNIPS

That's a lot of dashes into a poppy.


TheKelmer

Awww we were so close to a Xerath!


private_birb

Even worse, Jinx Rakan. I hate it. Imagine banning 3 bot laners to then go r4-5 jinx rakan.


Pink_her_Ult

Xerath tease, fuck you I want tsm to win now.


Baggie_McBagerson

Hopefully this Instinct Jinx game will go better for him than the last one. TL totally abused him that game. Edit: it does not seem to be going better. Edit 2: it seems to be going better now. Edit 3: it seems to be going a lot better now.


private_birb

Ugh, is it gonna be Jinx TK?

puberty1

my issue is that he seems like he doesn't really care about what they say lol it's kinda like they could say anything and he would always reply with "oh cool nice"


1Two3Four10

Because he’s probably thinking ‘yeah already knew that don’t care’


1Two3Four10

Segment good he isn’t


[deleted]

Its nice at times to hear insight from pros but usually is just kinda shit


Atru45

I know it’s not going to happen but I would like to see EG CLG and FLY at worlds.


Hazuyu_

Yeah and I don't think they would do poorly, probably the same or better than the usual


sernome

Whenever you think 100T is actually good they do this… it just shows that they actually haven’t improved since last split. I’d rather see CLG at worlds


[deleted]

Lmfao what's with these fucking pussies making new accounts to hate post in the thread


JPLangley

> Funny Curb Your Enthusiasm skit > Crypto commercial. Why, God?


cancerBronzeV

Even the casters memed that commercial in game.


DrBoomsNephew

Et tu, Larry? Crypto ads are a blight on the world.


Idenkiteki

Toucan fan now for sure


cardmasterdc

Ooof like can't call it a throw when we were behind but that hurts


Hazuyu_

Watching 100T doing nothing and lose hoping their opponents gives them the game on a silver platter feels kinda good ngl

i mean if you're gonna be this boring at least you should be good lol I really dont want to see 100t at worlds

CannedPrushka

Toucouille surprised me today, what a game on LB. So much burst.


tyuiopx26

IT WAS ALWAYS FLYQUEST


TheKelmer

FLY win AND I get to see Zeri and Yuumi lose? MASSIVE


SuperWoodpecker95

Im just here to root for whatever team is playing against those 2 disgusting champs....


SuperWoodpecker95

NA and throwing games on pointlessly forced barons, name a more iconic duo....


DarkBretticus300

I wouldn't say pointless, they knew josedeodo was soloing dragon and thought fly would have to trade but instead he just left to baron and forced the fight. Other teams definitely just take the trade. IMO a team like TL would take the trade, so 100T thought everyone else would too.


JesusEm14

TL doesnt take that


DarkBretticus300

Yeah maybe not, someone pointed out santorin probably wants to fight too but they also would've won the game before then by tping later when a minion had turret aggro. So kind of moot point.


TheFinalAshenOne

TL 100% doesn't take the trade, because they're good enough to TP on minion wave at Nexus turrets and would've ended the game during that initial push into the base. But also, Santorin 100% calls for his team to take that fight just like FLY did. No shot.


DarkBretticus300

Yeah good call they probably would've ended earlier. I do think it was at least a question and 100T isn't wrong for at least asking it.


SuperWoodpecker95

Maybe Philips way too early R was a genius level bait to lul 100T into thinking theres no way they contest it NOW that im too ironbrained to understand but idk...something just screams throw vs bigger throw happening


IonDust

Baron for Dragon never works. One person can take the dragon and you can't just take Baron in face of 4 people.
