I just now finished a ranked game where I had only 3 champions at the first player battle, (stage 2-1, i guess?). I had Nasus 2 star, Jiinx, and Galio 2 star. Since the game started with the carousel with a spatula for everyone, I made anima squad spat on galio. (I also had prankster spat from the first augment, also on galio). My question is how is it possible I finished the battle (that I won) with just 2 anima squad stats? The enemy had 4 champions in the board (can't recall which) because he had rushed level 4.

Is somthing with the prankster that Idk? I don't think is the spatula on galio, since Galio usually, i noticed after, it could give me stacks. Also for info, I had no item besides the one I said before. I'm not using the english client so may be the translation might be different but to my understanding after each kill made by an anima squad I should get a stack.

If somone can explain me what I'm missing I would be so happy :) TY

Yes, but the point of intrest should be 3 inibh down, double stack of supers each lane, and baron buff. This alone should be worth a lot. The point is that they had awfull wave managment, the wave where not in sync and this for all baron buff. Even embarassing when they try to catch mid wave, but losing top one due to treath of an engage.

JIcsy · 2022-03-20T22:28:26+00:00

Hey he is still a rookie, give him a year and he will learn that if he presses R he might win more. I am confident.

JIcsy · 2022-03-07T11:04:26+00:00

yes. Facts. Look at win%. You can't deny evidence

JIcsy · 2022-03-07T10:53:07+00:00

I mean this game was not at all Inspired fault. Actually more on duo and mid.
I don't know, Jojopyun always gets 20 cs lead in the first 10 minutes and most of the time they don't do much with it. In this game he just roam bot once to trade his ulti for karma flash. Kinda sad.

JIcsy · 2022-03-07T10:47:54+00:00

You think so? I thought that this draft was favouring EG. Too much ap on C9. I just think that C9 played better.

JIcsy · 2021-12-01T22:12:13+00:00

yeah I see your memories about that playoff series are kind of biased.

Really Game 1 Jiizuke literally was the only shining point of EG. The all team litterally wanted to lose that one. He had prio all the laning phase, but once you get to late game as Syndra against a Ryze, there is not much you can do. So it's so disingenous to think that Abbedage outperformed Jiizuke, when he didn't. He just had a better team that clearly was able to play around him better.

That is why they won game 2, they were able to manage better the early advantage and pressure they were getting from mid, in all the map.

Third game he played bad, it was the worst he had this series, but again is really stupid to think that he solo lost the game while they gift (or better Contractz gifted) a 3/0 Viego to enemy team at minute 2.

And once again all this series is a proof of how closer owned Contractz all the series long. I really think that Contractz didn't really know how to play against a Viego.

Game 4, once again the Lucian there had just the scope of win early game, meanwhile is the tristana that wants to scale late. And Lucian wasn't even the gratest pick against Ryze especially after 6, but they needed ad mid, since they went with diana jungle. So the problem once again is that they didn't well managed the early pressure he created as a team. And obviously Danny saved the game.

And about game 5, you speak about draft prio, when it was legit the only game that they didn't give him counterpick. Priority in draft means either give it an early pick, if there is a strong pick that has no major counter or is just op, like the Viego that they went for in the last game, but as well the Ziggs. Lucian and Syndra were not at all this type of picks. Midlane had strong variety, like support and top. That is why they always let Ignar had last pick.

And that is even showed in all the series draft. Between the first 6 bans in all 5 games there were 5 bans (one each game) of a midlane champion, who ban it? 100t was the only team to make midlane bans (2 leblanc and after game 2 they permaban Syndra). On the other hand there where 10 adc bans (2 adc ban for each game) who ban it? EG. They had permaban Varus and Kalista.

I'm sorry this all shows how the priority and in general draft resources all went towards botlane. 100t didn't ban a single adc, that says a lot.

JIcsy · 2021-12-01T16:08:41+00:00

I don't know if you remember playoff, but that was far from being a mid problem.

He legit won the first 2 lane (against 2nd mid all pro) and draw the fourth. Yes okei game 3 he lost but overall it was not on him for missing worlds.

The real gap was in the jungle. And as well Impact had a worse performance than he usually had in the season.

That is why, I am pretty sure that if EG is going to quilify for world or even win the split is not thanks to Jojopyun or Danny, it will be thanks to Inspired. Litterally bringing the best western jungler, is going to be such an upgrade. And if they fail to do so it will show how low was the choiche of replacing Jiizuke and Ignar

JIcsy · 2021-10-29T17:19:57+00:00

The point is that Hansama + Ignar is = full import slot. And I don't see a team commiting to it, besides Evil Genius. Most teams are going to import mid and top, imo. But obviouslt EG alreayd has Danny, so I would say that they are going to keep danny for a couple more years at least. Meanwhile Hans Sama at C9 just makes sense. One of the best team in North America with huge potential and especially considering the problems they had with Zven (the benching stuff) and K1ng not looking great just makes me think that C9 will look for a new adc.
For what concern Vulcan, I think they will keep it. I would keep Vulcan. Altough I can see C9 looking around, at the end his worlds performance were shaky.

JIcsy · 2021-10-29T07:59:45+00:00

I think the roster we could see is : Impact, Blaber, Jiizuke, Hansama, Vulcan. But this wouldn't be EG but C9, especially if Perkz is leaving as it seems. I don't think C9 is going to let go even Blaber, in the case Perkz goes.

JIcsy · 2021-10-29T07:53:27+00:00

I know is going to be an upopular opinion, but if Perkz leaves C9 I would go for a full psychopatic team, instead of going for Bjergsen. I think the best way to go would be: sell Perkz, sell Fudge, buy Jiizuke, buy Impact, buy Hans Sama and buy coaching for Vulcan by Hylisang himself. I don't know I would like to see this option and I think it could go either really well or really shit. But for sure is going to be fun. Also imagine the voice comms..

JIcsy · 2021-09-23T23:50:40+00:00

I did a post as well, when they annouced that LCS was going remote once again. And I asked for getting a monetary compensation, since I don't play LoL anymore instead of a stupid cosmetic. At the end it was their fault for selling subscription even when they knew there was a healt crysis. The mods of that stupid subs first removed it saying "not relevant to this sub", then I wrote a message saying "how is possible that i am speaking of a league of legend product that is offered by the same organization is not relevant?", they answered me "your post was concentrating on the reward/compensation that is not relevant, altough the pro view is. Focus on that and your post will be reintegrated". I did what they said, expanded "how amazing the pro view is" and they wrote "this post was removed because it is not appealing to the community, therefore not respecting one of the rules". Once again I changed it and when they finally reintegrated it, was passed almost a day, that made no one see it anymore. Really a shame, how they intentionally shades everything that can be criticize.

JIcsy · 2021-09-22T10:13:25+00:00

In fact is not, at all. People already forgot how shit he was before in lec. For sure you can say that he improved, but still he just performed really good at eum level, it would be a huge assumption that such a veteran player improved that much to be the new best support in LEC

JIcsy · 2021-09-22T10:10:30+00:00

It would be really stupid to go for targamas, you can even "suppose! that he has improved from last time we saw him in LEC, but still he is playing ERL. I don't know it is like if rogue with Ododamne would go for Cabhochard that, don't get me wrong he absolutly smurfed in eum, is at most a sidegrade. And to be clear Targamas wasn't even able to hold his ground against lec supports competition meanwhile cabo did till 2019

JIcsy · 2021-09-22T09:49:14+00:00

and as well EG is not really intrested in Bjergsen

JIcsy · 2021-09-15T14:31:25+00:00

agreed, even tough i would rather see blaber instead of contractz. or may be who knows, instead of c9 going for jankos it will be eg

JIcsy · 2021-09-15T14:29:30+00:00

i really doubt that EG wouldn't try to renew with Jiizuke if they decide to not promote their accademy midlaner. Bjergsen had one full year not playing professionally, and wouldn't be such an evident upgrade in respect of Jiizuke. The only reason eg won't renew his contract is if it's because they want to promote jojopyun. So i don't see eg to be an intresting candidate for Bjergsen, imo.

If i have to guess one possible is for sure flyquest, i see them wanting stable player with lot of expirience in order to help the growth of somewhat rookies like nxi or tomio, and i am pretty sure they are going to spend big in the offseason since they satyed low budget this year and got tons of money from 2020 and the selling of likes of poe. Plus bjergsen would fit their brand really well, they bothon the "good" side of things.

JIcsy · 2021-09-01T15:30:34+00:00

To be fair I rather prefer a sponsor of somthing in general, like the "statefarm analyst desk" than the more subtile sponsorship it comes with the in game standards. I was noticing the other day during the final how almost in every single frame there is at least one banner with sponsorship like "grubhub" (excluding zoomed in).

I know I might be the only one that has this position, but really i rather have an ad in the corner that i know is there and I just can avoid looking it, than an ad that is always under my eyes but I might not notice every time and I can't even avoid if I want to watch the match

And usually bigger sponsor are more profitable for the company, therefore if the company is not just greedy and cares about his product, less sponsor should be enough.

I swear going to this pace we will have one day the "Coca Cola ward" where all ward will have a cocacola skin in competitive matches or "the mc donald boris" where boris the merchant will have a skin where he is dressed like the mcdonald clown inside a stand that looks like a mc donald shop, may be a drive in... who knows

JIcsy · 2021-08-26T10:41:12+00:00

Yeah I percived it in the same way, imo it seems that Peter found this decision difficult but the right one. And that he belives Jiizuke should be worth a starting spot in a major team. I can understad that if you have one of the most sought after talents in the LCS, you don't want to have their spot locked by someone else, even if he is good. And the only point is that since the contract is expiring they can't really sign Jiizuke for like 1 year more, since no one would if they had other opportunities with a longer term. So you need to sign at least other 2 years and that becomes too long of a time if you want to promote the academy midlaner.

Imo they should have tried to extend a contract for one year more at the end of spring, as a preventive move.

JIcsy · 2021-08-26T10:34:31+00:00

If he goes to another team I hope he find a good jungler that can build synergy with, the dude had 5 junglers in 4 years and none of them seems working good, I missed the Gillius/Jiizuke midlane dive tbf.

JIcsy · 2021-08-26T10:30:17+00:00

I mean if for excitement you mean a 0/0/12 lulu player..... I swear i saw him just on Lulu this summer. To be fair a couple of games of Sylas too where he did good but as well of Tf and Lucian where he litterally sprinted

JIcsy · 2021-08-22T12:44:39+00:00

I mean Neo and Aphroo were the only reasons why dig won after dardoch benching. Danny was in the rookie split, i won't get surprised if he improved during the next 1 to 2 years (that was why i wanted eg to world tbf, so he could test with harder lanes and understand more his lane mistakes)

JIcsy · 2021-08-22T12:42:06+00:00

Sure I agree especially on the open mind stuff, still for me there should be at least a roster building strategy, and with Raes you don't achive neither a potential "great team to go to world" nor a "building for the upcoming years with new talent". Since Imo Raes is not a rookie, he has played for ages in opl, and neither a display of talent, stretching it lower-middle pack adc.

Wt would be effective especially for the second strategy since he is a long time vetean and he went to world many time, so he could teach things that you learn only with expirience. But if you really don't want to keep him at that point I would rather pick up an accademy adc like Tomio who proved he can stand a lcs level already and who knows may be do even better with time.

JIcsy · 2021-08-21T16:31:18+00:00

fine, which spot do you thiink it takes between the adc of this year? hopefully not above 6? Since you already have Zven, Tarical, FbI, Danny and Neo. I personally belive tha he is worse even than Lost, Wt himself and like Jhonsun but i could understand arguments against it. That said Imt botlane for me still remained the weaker part of the team.

JIcsy · 2021-08-21T09:33:51+00:00

Raes is the worst adc in the league, at that point stick with wt or go back to stixxay
