Did any of you watch the alternate streams? I never bothered, but they must be popular because it seems they are doing one for every game at worlds.

I watched a bot lane one for a FORG1VEN vs Rekkles game I think. Conversation is more intelligent and technical. I switched to the main stream after laning phase though, loses steam.

These descriptions are oh so cold. Most of them are Player1 vs Player2 for the matchup but when ROX faces a wild card team it's just "Peanut Jungle Stream". And when ROX faces another wild card team it's just "Smeb Top Stream", not even mentioning Darshan. Ouch.

Fog of War stream sounds interesting if the commentating is good.

I don't remember but I can't imagine that the games started in the european evening last year. 1:30 am for the first game is bull****.

It usually runs from mid-afternoon to like 10 or 11 PM wherever the games are being played.

Games are in California for prelims, so I think they start at 4PM local time there. The games last year ran from like 10AM-4PM Eastern Time in the USA

Yeah, the timing literally couldn't be worse. Make if few hours earlier, and we could at least watch first hours. Make it few hours later, and we could perhaps watch the last games.

Oh I thought they were on the east coast. I'm actually really hyped for Worlds so not being able to watch any games on the first day is such a bummer

Curious to see how dominant Aurelion Sol is. He was an absolute terror in solo queue and his nerf isn't in effect for Worlds.

So let me analyze this game:

Jayce poke vs Nami,Vlad and two tanks.

Syndra against Olaf,Poppy,Nami,Cait and Vlad. Yeah, you are not gonna hit a stun on anybody that matters and you are gonna get chased down.

Jhin agains Olaf/Poppy/Nami/Cait and Vlad. Once again it's not only 1 champ it's bad against, it's literally the whole team.

I jsut stop here, Elise is garbage too.

G2 with three top 20 players at worlds: Trick, Zven, and Mithy.

CLG with none.

Or maybe G2's players look godly because they play in lol Europe.

Going back to the draft I think Elise is a fine first pick, blind picking Jayce and Syndra as solo lanes seems like the killer mistake.

That was embarassingly bad... That loss is so much on the top laner or team calls not to teleport. Gave CLG the snowball they needed to have a chance at winning.

That game was over in champselect, unless they snowball super hard. Jayce just does nothing against that team. He'll never be able to poke down anybody. Vlad heals it, cait late game heals it and Nami obviously heals it as well. Literally useless.

The way it went sure it looks really bad. If they dont allow CLG to snowball they can set up shop and just keep the all-in team away. If G2 gets the first tower and dont feed Olaf they could easily avoid the engage and hammer down turrets. Just look how close the fights where 5 v 5 and that was down 5-6k.

I think you are misjudging how the fights went, if you don't kill vlad he'll just be in the fight forever and that's what happened they couldn't kill him and lategame they have no tools to get to Caitlin who is just gonna murder them.

Again thats what happens if you fall behind that far as G2 did. If the game is even then Vlad, Poppy, and Olaf isnt unkillable and cant just run all over G2. G2 played a standard poke comp that fell behind and got ran over since they fell behind because of the terrible early game decisions coming from top.

looks like Elise is gonna be pick/ban in every single game

Nami in both games so far - interesting

Ya the early game was strange, seemed to be some quite poor decision making from the bot lane of G2, I expected more of them.
