you can't let Lulu through, probably the single worst thing you can do on purple right now

there isn't a real counter to juggermaw other than ban lulu

I'm just tuning in. Are Curse reallly taking out CLG the second split in a row? LOL.

lolclg.

I like the new mid corki build a lot, it's cool to have very unique build paths

lol catching anything than besides KogMaw doesn't count as a catch, it's suicide

CLG did the best when DL was on Kalista or Jinx, Kalista kinda sucks now but Jinx is strong.

The Vlad hype is real.

Morello on vlad lol guess it doesnt matter tho

Its probably not that bad if you decided to go Pen boots. Morello + Wota caps your cdr. But just going cdr boots and getting an earlier void staff has to be strictly better.

Missed today's games but it appears the cliffs are lol clg?

Yup, they played very poorly.

Awful pick bans pretty much

No real excuse for a toplaner not being able to play Lulu can just run Vayne or Jinx instead of Kog if DL doesn't play Kog. So 1 game they gave up Juggermaw. 1 game they wasted a blue ban on Lulu. Though they did mind game TL to ban Lulu g1.

Beyond pick/ban their teamfight is god awful and you can't win games on 5.5 with that leak. Doublelift is the best laning Adc in NA but he's really bad after 20 mins. Zion is also really strong in lane and 1v2s but falls off hard.

Tbh a lot of games were xmithie being super awful and missing the ultis.

There is a bigger clip where he missed 3 more.

Putting it all on xmithie isn't really fair.
Link was non existent, it's so hard to win when you have no midlane pressure in ranked 5s.

You could show the 2v1 where he redcards urgot to give up firstblood, his ****ty tf ult, him being **** on in cs in favourable matchups when he's had multiple jungle ganks and his opponents had none.

If clg had a midlaner winning lane or going even, the set would've looked completely different.

Zion wasn't that hot either.

Funny because last split dlift looked awful and I felt the team would've been better.
off without him. ( 4am streams night before games into feeding in a 2v2 lane ).


Also their gameplans were **** tier.
Their comp in game 1 gave me cancer. It was so fragile. 1 mistake and it cost them the game.

CLG went 2-6 vs the 4 best teams(TSM,C9,Liquid and TIP) this the season, both of their wins was in week 2 when TIP and C9 looked bad. They haven't done well when they cant just dominate weak players early and snowball out of control.

Their comps suck so bad as well, they take split comps with really fragile teamfights or low clear so if the game does turn on them they autolose.

Scarra/Link both need to go.

yea their comps are bad

it seems like CLG doesnt know what they are good at

Zion is good in 1v1 2v2 but he is terrible in teamfights, he is out of sync with his team when he engages, he picks the wrong targets and engages at the wrong time. Xmithie is only good on early game junglers when he can gank a lot or invade enemy jungle he is bad in teamfights. Link is only good on stuff like Nidalee Ez Ziggs stuff that throws out a lot of skill shots and engages when it hits, if he was to make the decision to engage he rarely make the right call. Rush hour is good in lane.

They could get away with terrible teamfighting earlier in the season because you could blow up a guy right away and then fight 5v4 but against tanks and in longer fights they cant win. They also focused more on taking towers early and try to get a lead now they play slower and w8 for the lategame where they cant win since they are terrible at it.

Toplaner lulu with vayne is pretty bad imo. Such a short range adc (with zero damage spells) being the only damage source makes team fighting even worse. Jinx is prob OK tho but they tried similar vs TSM last week and were crushed.

Another problem with CLG is that they actually lost level 1s first 2 games with wasting time late laneswapping. Link underperformed as usual, and Fenix actually stepped up and didn't play like he normally does when Piglet was on the team. Game 1 was easily winnable by CLG until they made that mistake at the bottom inhibitor which made them too behind to splitpush. Game 2- if you miss every sej ult you're not going to win basically fighting 4v5 lol (they even lost the team fights when TL were at a weak period). Game 3- link on ezreal vs vlad sealed the deal of a horribly losing lane (even died 1v1), and zionspartan has always been weaker on rumble.

Also DL actually played OK (but not godlike or anything), but Piglet played fine/better than him unlike before, however xpecial crushed aphromoo.

Also idk why CLG don't run the kog comp. Maybe they are afraid of falling behind too early? But like it's the perfect comp for a team being horrible at team fighting since it's so easy to play team fights with that comp.

Pretty much every team is capable of running it except maybe TSM since snowballing midlane is just a much more +EV strat for them than anything else.

Damn I perfected my lipreadingskills just to read what Leviathan is telling his team what they should pick and now he covers his mouth.

Is leviathan a poker player? I seem to remember reading somewhere that he was.

Yeah he is don't know his screenname or anything tho.
