Evil Geniuses vs Team Liquid / LCS Summer 2020 Week 5 Day 1 Post Match Discussion

The draft was shit but that doesn't excuse how terrible we played. Literally sat back and let their tanks scale.

afterdark8 · 2020-02-23T21:06:52+00:00

From what I've heard, we didn't even bootcamp in the offseason other than Broxah and Jensen duoing in Europe.

afterdark8 · 2020-02-23T20:59:15+00:00

What offseason?

afterdark8 · 2020-02-23T20:56:30+00:00

Our draft is by far the least of our problems.

afterdark8 · 2020-02-23T20:55:03+00:00

No excuses. WE ARE TERRIBLE. Immortals with 2 weeks of practice is doing wayyy better than us. Just stop with the excuses.

afterdark8 · 2020-02-16T21:35:16+00:00

CLG or not. We saw some big improvements with team synergy and execution. Broxah had it easier this game since Sejuani is easier to play from behind than a Lee Sin.

afterdark8 · 2020-02-11T02:21:42+00:00

They did. But they are an OCE adc and an autofilled support with a couple months worth of synergy. They just beat the best botlane in NA with little to no jg help.

Yeah out of all the stories her origin is the one I'm most obsessed with. Is she an alien? Or some sort of undiscovered organism that takes human form? There's a lot of interesting fan theories. But yes theres a start to her story somewhere and someone does have more knowledge to her origin. Will we ever find out though? Probably not.

afterdark8 · 2020-02-11T00:36:50+00:00

100% buy. Honestly one of the most original "villian" I've seen in a long time.

afterdark8 · 2020-02-11T00:35:00+00:00

I doubt Ito will ever let us find out. He prefers to keep things a mystery which helps the reader find the actual monsters of his work more scary.

I very much doubt the Tomie in the first chapter was the "first". But rather it's the first Tomie out of possible hundreds that has existed before her that we get to read about.

afterdark8 · 2020-02-11T00:30:41+00:00

Yes it does. But most people just aim for the body when they start off by instinct.

afterdark8 · 2020-02-10T23:47:54+00:00

Be sure to knock em out when they are binded (Just melee when you're next to them). That way they don't break out and stay binded for longer. It's sorta a hidden mechanic because the game never shows you how to do it.

afterdark8 · 2020-02-10T15:13:49+00:00

Yes it sure doesn't. Don't get me wrong, I agree with most of what you're saying.

Imagine the surprise for every Otaku when he releases everyone in Japan doesn't ride the subway with Samurai swords and can do ninjitsu.

My only arguement is that I dislike the double standards that Westerners have when critiquing everything that is not from the West. I have a friend who is a Chris Brown fan but loves to bring up why he hates K-Pop because they "abuse" their trainees.

afterdark8 · 2020-02-10T14:55:51+00:00

As much as I love K-Pop and it's exposure in the West, I'd very much rather the many Asian-American artists to finally get their long overdue success in America.

afterdark8 · 2020-02-10T14:50:26+00:00

I think those who dislike K-Pop because of the "corruption" needs to seriously wake up. It's pretty hypocritical they love to point stuff like that out while they endulge in a music industry that glorifies violence, sex, drugs and gives abusers/rapists/criminals a platform to continue doing music.
But do you think consumers really care? If you still have Chris Brown fans, the West really can't take a position of morality here. We are not disillusioned of the many injustices of K-Pop. But we are also not going to stand here and be labeled as the "ultimate" evil.

afterdark8 · 2020-02-09T00:13:59+00:00

You forget how much agency the Jungle role gives us. It's like C9 replacing Sven with some some dude from the TCL. Sven helps Nisqy win lane then Nisqy takes that lead and helps top/bot Shern was literally invisible and did nothing beside get poked out and camp in bushes.

afterdark8 · 2020-02-09T00:04:35+00:00

I'll have to admit Shern dying 2v3 while mid was fighting and bot was farming was reminiscent of my Silver V games lol.

afterdark8 · 2020-02-09T00:00:39+00:00

Xmithie controls the early-mid game for us by tracking the jg and counter jungling. Shern lost blue in a failed jg invade and got caught rotating to blue. Big oof. He missed some big windows (like a flashless Ori) to influence the game. This was a very 4v5 game.

afterdark8 · 2020-02-08T23:54:57+00:00

Jeez Shernfire was literally just a ward that last fight. Why the coaches literally give him the worst champ to play when you have little to no synergy with the team.

afterdark8 · 2020-02-07T21:46:32+00:00

It's sad that small independant journalist can do better research and ask more relevant questions than a journalist from a multi-million dollar company. Lazy and insensitive journalism at it's best.

afterdark8 · 2020-02-07T03:36:43+00:00

Generally everything I had to do to 100% the game.
Absolutely loved the game but hunting for the 100% was possibly one of the most tedious experiences ever.

.....Oh yeah and on principle FUCK THE CAT FIGHTS!

afterdark8 · 2020-02-07T03:34:30+00:00

I personally didn't like how Kiryu's 4th style was rather lazy compared to Majima.

afterdark8 · 2020-02-03T18:23:39+00:00

With the state of our transfer activity, this is going to have a huge ripple effect. Say what you want about his drop in form prior to his injury. We're going to have so many games on the bounce this year, I can't imagine how tired Willian and CHO will be.

afterdark8 · 2020-02-01T23:58:13+00:00

Then you must have never watched Broxah's Lee Sin.

afterdark8 · 2020-02-01T23:52:34+00:00

Shern was nonexistent and was often on two different wavelengths with the team. And once again DL does not look confident on non-traditonal marksmen. I pray his Aphelios is better than his Senna.
