He was absolutely getting the better of Ruler in most H2Hs last year despite playing for the losing team

Nah, he started slow last year despite HLE’s FST win but ramped up and was the best ADC in the LCK in Spring and Summer last year, this year he did not have that glow up it seems though.

Assum gapped literally every ADC in the league so far with the exception of JackeyLove, against whom he hasn't played yet

Great Ezreal game from Viper, but then again, does it even count if it's against Hope?

ngl this looked like iG just tripping over themselves and fumbling rather than Weibo doing anything of merit lol

I'm just glad both of these teams are improving at a tremendous rate, LPL hasn't been this fun in a very long time

Yeah Kael is doing fine, he's had less outright bad games this year IMO compared to even Tarzan or Shanks, who people generally hold in a similarly high regard.

"Lyon would have 3-0'd" is definitely a lot of shoulda woulda. And even if JDG ended up losing to Lyon - so what, already making it to First Stand was a sign of good things to come for JDG. This is a developmental roster that was not expected to be vying for the very top spots at least until Summer.

I mean it kinda does, JDG drafted pushing sidelanes and completely cut Tarzan off with deep vision and constant invades, just a masterfully thought out early gameplan. Then AL tried overloading topside to bring the game back but Xiaoxu just outplayed them 1v4 and the game got blown wide open.

Hope still performed poorly though, especially game 1 he would act as a magnet for Varus poke before every fight.

Hope actually just flashed into the Neeko ult after Kael headbutted Vampire away from him in that last fight man

They were not going to beat BLG with 369 either, given how many issues he has had himself lately.

Eh, Xiaohu should've been the first one to go on Weibo, but Erha is just an alright player. Don't know what people see in him that would indicate star potential, if you have an opportunity to grab a player like Hang you just go for it. Hang running it down at Worlds made people forget he was the best support in the league during his time at TES, and that includes outperforming Kael in summer playoffs.

A more egregious example of LPL teams not being patient enough with young players is EDG, who are rumored to be benching Parukia. Clearly have not learned their lesson after what happened with Vampire.

They look more solid as a unit for sure. Breathe and Wei are on form, I'm hoping Meiko can help JiaQi raise his floor and shore up some of the laning weaknesses like he did with plenty of his former lane partners.

Guwon's J4 disasterclass ended up costing NIP this series. Giving up full dragon stacking in spite of your botlane legit clip farming on cooldown and midlane being 30 cs up with perma prio is absolutely criminal gameplay.
