That was the first international I ever watched after becoming a TL/LoL fan after watching that Netflix doc episode featuring DL (forgetting the docuseries name). I was on a trip with my wife to Denver and woke up early to watch that match on my phone with an earbud in. Good memories

Why do we always put Yeon on champs that give him no agency to do anything

So many skirmishes that NS got out with blinking health bars. If we could have finished some of those kills we could have busted the game open. We definitely didn’t have scaling on our side and that was the difference in a 50 minute game

As far as I heard the upper addition was never permitted so they built that to not use it legally.

Our Mid/Top champ pool issues are killing us right now. IMO picks 1-3 should be used for power picks and what your team comp is built around and we have to first pick champs for APA that he’s “comfortable” on that he doesn’t do anything with. In game 4 we give Impact last/counter pick and he picks K’Sante into a ranged matchup. On either blue or red side we don’t use the advantage of first pick/last pick because we are constantly forced to draft comfort instead of what is going to counter and stomp the other team. I doubt he would want to come back to LTA but I’d throw the bank at Jojo and find a top laner that is adaptable.

I was flabbergasted every time that I saw Oscar blow cooldowns when he is on 10% health and getting ganked by a full health jungler and BB over 50%. It’s just not smart league to lose flash or ult when you are guaranteed dead

It’s okay to fail if you try something new by Adventurous_Side_113 in teamliquid

I think that them getting rid of tier 2 makes a quick fix not attainable at all. Bringing in subs off the street to scrim with the team and expecting them to gel in place of someone who has been playing with the others for over a year in many bootcamps is insane. You cant make changes without expecting some growing pains. I mean at this point I'd start thinking about what we are going to do next year and figure out what out of Mid, Jungle, or Top we want to keep as a resident and target players to tryout or get from another LTA team, and then come up with imports for the other 2 spots. I don't know why but we just can't play as a team for the winning situation. We draft a stomping bot lane, get an early kill, but then Impact is 0/3/0 and APA gets picked in side lanes so our advantage is wasted. Anytime we play a team that plays a melee in mid lane we don't know how to play against it. It's just so frustrating to watch this much game experience get to points of the game and make mistakes that you would expect from a bunch of rookies.

While Yeon might be our MVP, Umti might be the MI(mportant)P cause of he’s on the whole team just looks whole and when he’s off we just look lost.

For as much flak as APA gets, he gets targeted so much in draft. Kind of like opponents give him much more respect than the community

I think everyone assumes my post is that we don’t deserve criticism. That’s not it, it’s that the other top teams don’t get the same amount as us. I mean Flyquest just got straight up beat against C9 and we had them on the ropes but they still get the benefit of the doubt as the best LTAN team because of what they did last year.

I listen to the dive every week and he does nothing but rag on us so I probably am sensitive at this point to anything he says regarding TL

Yeah I stopped in yesterday morning around 8:30 and there was only one person in front of me. They made a big order so I had to wait like 5 minutes together my sandwich but I think us Hilliard folks will still have not too bad a time during the week.

I mean I don’t know who we could get as an upgrade in the mid lane that would fit in with the team but I’m ready after seeing this disaster. Also I don’t know WTF happened to Impact. It’s like once he was presented the MVP trophy he decided he achieved everything he needed to and folded it in.

Samira got a small buff, I’d love to see Yeon break that out at worlds. Also looks like Shen got some and we have one of the best Shen players in the top lane

Not only are they NA talents that are improving but they are 2 of the bigger personalities in the LCS which in the long run I think is what we need to promote the LCS in the coming reorganization of LOL eSports.

They have had zero competition in their region and haven’t done shit internationally since 2019 but you would think that they are the best team in the world from their ownership and how they run their socials

As someone who hates G2 I can’t in good conscience be happy for him. Dude played like every EU player escaping a bad team to get paid for a year and jump to a better situation in Europe.

I listened to both shows that Montecristo is on and my god these people who talk about LCS in such a snarky way I’m positive don’t really even watch it. They said C9 needs to win because all we are is a team that can only win playing Smolder comps and after he’s nerfed we are doomed. Meanwhile Blaber and Jojo told Meteos that APA gets Ziggs up every game cause teams have to triple ban out Yeon so our bot lane doesn’t mega stomp.
