" 'We use Korean Picks/Op Chamipons' Cloud 9 HyperX Lemonation & Meteos'"

How do you feel that C9's pick choices will affect the NA Meta and change up the LCS teams comps in NA?

• Best Player/MVP on team
  
• Add vod links & pro commentary feedback
  
• Stop being late lazy as f'uck.
  

The pressure is getting to Dig. I'm rooting for TSM personally but it'll be cool to see what will happen.

coL is just showing up. Holy crap.

GGU beat CRS.
GG.

Anyone else noticed Scarra building exactly like Reggi? And then sucking ass at it?

Weather man Dinh and his analysis.

That ward really pineappleed CLG.

Well, they were already down..

TSM really has a chance at getting first if CRS loses one more time. The underdogs + CLG and TSM are wrecking everything today.

I really hope CLG picked up the pieces. I missed TSM & CLG being the top dogs and having their games being the best in NA. HSGG Just needs to expand his champ pool and he'd probably be really good again. Not #1 or #2. But a soft placement like #3~4.

Nah, I don't see CLG being even 3rd or 4th unless they drop HSGG and pick up a solid top laner and/or jungler, moving Chauster around or out. He's just not got the champion pool or ability to win lanes. No matter what lane they stick him in, he just can't compete with everyone else. Chauster has his issues too, but even though he has underperformed as Jungle, I'd still keep him over HSGG if you only want to do one new team member to keep things mostly the same. As long as they only rely on Doublelift carrying them, the bottom 4 LCS teams are going to start beating them. Sure they may not be able to win against CLG every time, but once they start winning 2/3 matches against them, CLG is gonna drop to 6th or 7th probably. Maybe if two of the bottom 4 get dropped out of the LCS and two new teams come in, they'll be able to hold on to a 4th or 5th spot, but they're a long way away from being even a soft 3rd or 4th place with the bottom 4 LCS teams getting stronger all the time.

Even Dig has been performing pretty inconsistently. I wouldn't be surprised if the 2nd half of Season 3 was Curse/TSM trading top 2, with Vulcun, Marn, and GGU all fighting for the next 3 spots. Now if QTPie can keep things consistent again and Scarra manages to hit 4 or 5 solid champs to play, they'll probably stay safely in 3rd or 4th place, but they're going to be dropping games to Vulcun, Marn, or GGU more often than they used to as those teams get more experience against them.

CoL probably has okay odds too, if they are able to return, but they've still got the furthest to go imo. Their current hot streak is nice, but after seeing that game against TSM, they've got a ways to go before I'd put them in the same realm as Vulcun or Marn or GGU.

TSM is now first from what I heard from my little brother. They need to win the next 1-2 games to stay at 1st and 2nd.

Tomorrow is the ending point!

This gives me a headache on why they chose Scarra for best midlane NA when everyone and their mama knows that you gotta pick Reggi or NyJacky. Those would be the two absolute best mid lanes to send to China. Scarra is limited to what he has, and Koreans ban out his primary champs he plays.

TSM is tied with CRS for 1st. But on the website it has TSM as #1 and CRS as #2.

CLG F'ucking dropping pieces everywhere.

They separated Doublelift at that last fight; it was genius.

Hell yeah, MRN! FGC!

That was pretty epic. Thought CLG would be able to close the win, but nope, MRN showing they can beat CLG at their own protect their adc and farm til late game comp. Just seems to show yet again how much the bottom of the LCS have improved, and how far CLG has fallen.

Also heard from Travis someone is retiring from LCS after today, if it's Chauster or Aphromoo, I'm just gonna have to believe CLG is trying to become a solid 7-8th place team based on HSGG refusing to step down for the umpteenth time.

TSM is now 1st place. Next game is now depending whether they secures it.

I bet it's HSGG. I bet you money.

Today is the day of the underdogs + TSM.

GGU beats CLG
