    SKT vs BKT, last game of the group, positions decided nothing to play for

    Why not just play some troll **** and not the boring champs we see every game

    I want Teemo support :mad:


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,923 ✭✭✭Playboy


    Here we go! ORG vs TSM. If Origen win then they qualify for playoffs. Let's hope they can keep up the good performances as they may be EU's only remaining hope.

    Holy jesus that Huni play...

    Going into this playoff game between C9 and AHQ

    - C9's coach looks like a 70's pornstar...that moustache.
    - Hai I feel is a bad jungler, compared to everyone else at Worlds
    - Can someone explain why Gangplank has a 91.8% ban rate at Worlds ?
    I understand he is good now, but is he 'that' good ? ..... a 90% ban ?...I don't understand it.

    Gangplank is flex, mid or top, his barrels, once he gets trinity force he one hits minions and gets all that extra gold with his Q and snowballs out of control.

    ADC Kennen :eek::eek:

    FNC vs AHQ absolutely insane ending will be watching several more times I think :P

    KT vs Koo

    FNC vs EDG

    FW vs OG

    SKT vs AHQ

    Going to see the Origen game on Thursday. I have good tickets. Also have tickets (6) for Sunday for KT vs Koo but don't think I'm gonna go so will probably try and get my money back. Not great seats though

    Delighted C9 **** the bed, can't stand them as a team - would love to see Sneaky on a better team!

    Same, I think they really need some roster changes. Hai and Balls are very average, they look good in NA...but don't show up on the Worlds stage.

    NA went 0-10 in Week 2 :P


    There are many players out there who could/should be given offers to come over to play in the NA LCS.
    Top tier Korean players who are with a mid-table Chinese or Korean team.

    I'd love to see Mata or Madlife go to the US, Flame or Shy too ! Dandy, Dade etc

    Also, I think EasyHoon should find a team , although it seems to work for SKT...I doubt either midlaner can be really happy with swapping in and out. He should find a team to be the starter with...he is obviously skilled enough.

    Marin looks to be far and away the best top laner I've seen in a long time. I can't see SKT being beaten in this tournament...especially in a Best of 5 series.
    Huni pulled off some good plays, but made some really bad calls in many games.

    Hai is a funny one because without him they were going to be relegated. Mechanically he isnt great and he isnt the best jungler but he is a great shotcaller. He carried that team to worlds and nearly out of groups.

    Balls is just bad and so is Lemonnation. Incarnation is mechanically quite a good mid laner but it remains to be seen if he can make the step up with his decision making etc. I'd keep Sneaky, Incarnation and Hai and find a new top lane and support.

    He takes risks which I like but sometimes he does things needlessly and he doesnt play well from behind. If they can control him then he will be one of the best top laners in the world. He needs to watch Marin and Ssumday closely and learn from their controlled aggression.

    So Dyrus, Lustboy and Santorin all have left TSM. Surprised Wildturtle is still there


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,186 ✭✭✭✭IvySlayer


    Reddit saying that Phreak is trying too hard to be funny when casting, and I sort of agree, but thats Phreak!

    DoA is the funniest for me, I could listen to him all day!

    Wolf on Tahm Kench with Bang on Kallista (SKT Game 2 ) ......the best use of Tahm Kench I've seen to date.
    So many saves and just clean and crisp plays.

    SKT SeantheMan

    Ahhh I've been a fan for a while, ever since I moved to Korea.
    Was actually into Starcraft when I moved here first, and attended an SC2 final....it was between SKT Rain and Maru Prime....was given an SKT flag thingy (and my phone carrier was SKT)
    So when my friend introduced me to LOL, there were too many Korean teams to choose from...so I just went with SKT as I knew them from SC2.

    I chose well.


    But I'm not wrong on that Tahm Kench, he looks such a good support sometimes. I'd love to play him but down in the lower leagues where I belong....things don't work like that :P


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,149 ✭✭✭ZorbaTehZ


    Tahm Kench is BY FAR the most fckin irritating champ to play against. No other champ comes even close to his level of annoyance.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,909 ✭✭✭SeantheMan


    Fnatic looked great last night !


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,909 ✭✭✭SeantheMan


    Can anyone explain the constant Lulu bans ?
    Did she get buffed ?....93% ban rate, is she that strong ?

    Sitting here watching the picks and bans for the first game of KT / Koo ....Tahm Kench get's chosen....so very happy ! :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,149 ✭✭✭ZorbaTehZ


    She is banned because of her utility and in the juggernaut meta she has the perfect kit to stop or enable.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,932 ✭✭✭YouSavedMyLife


    She's also a flex pick and very strong in protect the hyper carry ADC comps. I didn't watch all of the game but did you see Niel's on Jinx in the final(?) game against FW, frontline Jinx, it was nuts

    That was unreal. Niels played phenomenally in that series. I's say SKT will pick on bottom lane in their series. Hopefully leaving xPeke and Soaz to do their thing.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,923 ✭✭✭Playboy


    Yeah Lulu offers far too much at the moment. She is a really safe mid laner, a counterpick top lane, a flex pick during pick and ban phase (top, mid, supp) so hard for the other team to counterpick or pick around, she can be used in protect the carry comps (Jinx, Kalista) or speed up the juggernaut comps (Darius, Morde). She has been an important pick now for years and to be honest I think she needs a rework. Its so boring seeing her as a constant in the meta for season after season. She is a support so why is she still such a viable top lane and mid lane pick even after numerous nerfs? Every other support that has been a constant pick in other lanes has been nerfed or reworked (Soraka).

    But for me the most obnoxious and irritating thing to happen to League of Legends in recent times is Tahm Kench. What were they thinking when they designed this guy... just because a mechanic sounds cool doesnt make it good for the game. He can swallow people out of hard CC? Do riot not realise that hard CC is the only counter to a number of really irritating champs. Tahm single handly nullifies far too many team comps and strategies and leaves the opposing team with very few options to play around him. And he is way too feckin tanky... he is nearly impossible to kill or burst down when he has only 1 tank item and he is super sticky when he is chasing you. Talk about an over loaded kit before you even discuss his ult where you and a team mate can teleport for a flank. Pro teams have only scratched the surface of his capability and he is already single handedly changing the meta. They need to delete him or nerf him into the ground. Wait till we see Tahm Kench and Master Yi comps!!!

    Also what is going on with the Gragas bug! He is now disabled for the rest of the tournament along with Lux and Ziggs. It's going to make life for teams on red side so much harder! Just ban Rek'sai and first pick Elise if you are on blue side and then the red side are at a massive disadvantage. Quite worried for Fnatic now as Gragas, Elise and Rek'Sai are Reignover's top picks. The Olaf pick has fallen away now especially with the emergence of Tahm Kench!

    AMAZING is in trouble too. Hopefully both teams can come up with some workarounds.

    Think we will end up seeing a lot more of Lee Sin but if Rek'sai and Lee are banned then who is left? Are we really back to Nunu?
