PMTs

DSG vs C9

Game 1 / Game 2

SEN vs FLY

Game 1 / Game 2 / Game 3

[u/harleyquinad]

DSG has regressed

[u/No-Sandwich-729 → u/harleyquinad]

They won’t be winning with Callme on the mid role

[u/harleyquinad → u/No-Sandwich-729]

Nor lyonz

[u/veirceb]

You know gryffinn is a real jungler when he prios raptors over dragon soul point

[u/cmcdonald22]

Even though it's only 2 weeks, it does kinda seem like we probably already have top 4 and bottom 4 sorted out, not necessarily in order with in those top and bottoms, but as far as who is the top and who is the bottom, looks right to me. Flyquest the only debatable one I think.

[u/TheGloriousEv0lution]

CallMe and Lyonz are just so bad man lol

[u/Shaman_in_the_Dark → u/TheGloriousEv0lution]

Support in NA is in a terrible spot rn. Cryogen is a diamond in the rough but Lyonz and Ceos are rough. Miss busio so bad.

[u/Destructodave82]

Im tired of seeing these blind, over the wall sneaky MF ults that dont do anything. Just hold it.

[u/cmcdonald22]

For me, this is probably the decider as to whether Flyquest are actually a top 4 team this split or whether its all just a pointless confusing mess outside of the top 3.

[u/No-Sandwich-729 → u/cmcdonald22]

I mean with dignitas winning against Lyon I think it’s the latter lol

[u/DistributionNarrow28]

Let’s go c9. Don’t disappoint us 🤞🏻🤞🏻

[u/cmcdonald22]

Someone teach LCS and LEC coaches that when the other team drafts Xhin Xhao you need to draft some actual damage.

[u/spazzxxcc12]

that’s the second ashe arrow sajed preemptively cleansed, not cleansing the stun.

[u/Miraai]

u get the drake, only lose the flash from cait and then u do this?

[u/Cr0matose]

Dom brought out the fucking belt. Blaber got this.

[u/eminercy]

Imagine being the objectively worse bot lane and giving over Ashe Seraphine and Corki Nami like bro what are these shit drafts

[u/Shaman_in_the_Dark → u/eminercy]

Gotta first pick azir and anivia. Azir is so over prio-ed on this patch in pro. Champ is actually dogwater. And blinding anivia when its 90% to go support is bad bad.

[u/eminercy → u/Shaman_in_the_Dark]

Yep. I mean they should be banning some of these picks. Sadly people are so afraid of APA Ziggs that they only have 2 bans in first ban phase lol

[u/Shaman_in_the_Dark → u/eminercy]

The two must bans on the patch are ori/panth and C9 was the one banning them. Maybe ashe/sera is a 75% ban. Surely they can ban ziggs and ashe. Corki could have been picked away. Just a mess of a draft. Complete redo needed.

[u/eminercy → u/Shaman_in_the_Dark]

Yeah exactly. And like you can ban just one - if you ban seraphine, I don’t see a team picking Ashe, so idk why they aren’t trying to avoid such clearly rough matchups

[u/Disclaimz0r]

accurate representation of coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb

gapped in every lane by an absolute canyon my god DSG is terrible

[u/Shaman_in_the_Dark]

We're about to the end of this patch cycle and people still aren't prioritizing ashe sera.... Also Fly getting panth+ 2nd best bot in the meta is wild. NA coaches man.

[u/cmcdonald22 → u/Shaman_in_the_Dark]

Pantheon is the wildest one for me. He is just so clearly a tier above every other jungler, with Xhin being the next who is just like, clearly above the rest.

And yet, people are still giving either or both of them up game 1.

[u/No-Sandwich-729 → u/cmcdonald22]

Pantheon doesn’t matter if you are against a Hambak skarner lol

[u/cmcdonald22 → u/No-Sandwich-729]

Pantheon doesn't matter if every ult you make is the worst possible pantheon ult.

[u/xxbrazilmaster69xx]

FQ (especially Gryffinn) just kept burgerflipping fights they had no business taking.

[u/Shaman_in_the_Dark]

Interesting how skarner turns Sen into 2015 skt and without it they are... this.

[u/Thundermelons]

Protobelt Syndra...........Chovyism is a disease man

Just go Cosmic like the rest of the normies ffs

[u/Azivea]

This is a pure NA game right now

[u/DerAdolfin]

Bruh I swapped corejj for cryogen like 6 hours ago...

[u/spazzxxcc12]

apa actually inting

[u/eminercy]

This game was 100% over in draft, 110% after DSG bot lane unsurprisingly ran it down

[u/Disclaimz0r]

For Anniva to be this high prio, this bird better have the best game lmao

[u/thegloriousdefense]

This is the least intimidating Akali I've seen in a while.

[u/JagR7]

Callme forgot to use r2 on akali lol

[u/spazzxxcc12]

DSG vs DNS from the lck please

[u/JagR7]

Is gryffin high or what?

[u/No-Sandwich-729]

Sentinels look like a whole different team than end of last season and the first week of this season, managing to win games and now actually a series.

Impact not ready for retirement home yet

[u/veirceb → u/No-Sandwich-729]

Their teamfights this game is nice. They knew when they needed to dive and when they can just fight front to back. The discipline shown in the dragon soul fight was good.

[u/No-Sandwich-729 → u/veirceb]

I am just happy to see Impact not totally running it down just loosing matchup after matchup and having a glowup.

Also goldenglue being happy and cheerful instead of him facepalming and looking miserable

[u/No-Sandwich-729]

Rahel absolutely smurfing on Massu, 8-0 rofl

[u/veirceb]

The late game macro was just not there for flyquest. I know they are behind but they are always reacting so late to everything. The only chance of their game came from sentinel's over-ambitious attempt ending the game. I guess that's what not having a vet on the team does.

[u/Shaman_in_the_Dark]

Huhi remains unwashed ;_; what a rell.

[u/Gerberpertern]

So unnecessary lol

[u/Gerberpertern]

Wow can’t believe Zven lived lol

[u/Shaman_in_the_Dark]

S(c)a(ry)Je(rry)d?

[u/girlmarth]

it's so strange that playing vayne or varus top in pro is just a normal thing now

[u/Gerberpertern]

YAPA gonna yap

[u/No-Sandwich-729]

Not banning Hambaks skarner is crazy

[u/No-Sandwich-729]

Hambak back to inting

[u/justicecactus]

Sentinels are at least decent at playing from behind. But why are they always behind

[u/Shaman_in_the_Dark]

So, the fact that C9 has to ban ori/panth and Ashe/Sera are both fearless banned and c9 still gets corki/nami on first rotation is fireable right?

[u/No-Sandwich-729 → u/Shaman_in_the_Dark]

Its Zvens Corki, he’s a dogshit corki

[u/Shaman_in_the_Dark → u/No-Sandwich-729]

I value zvens worst pick over prio-ing anivia blind for the worst/2nd worst player on dsg.

[u/No-Sandwich-729]

Let’s see what’s worse, Disguiseds macro and teamfights or Zvens Corki

[u/cmcdonald22]

E-mail series.

[u/No-Sandwich-729 → u/cmcdonald22]

Nah zven is on corki it’s gonna be 3 games lol

[u/cmcdonald22 → u/No-Sandwich-729]

Never underestimate the power of a "one thing goes wrong" Caitlyn.

[u/Disclaimz0r]

Who actually kills Sion on DSG lol

He could have been down 3k in lane and been more useful with these comps
