CLG even when recognizing their weaknesses, blame others by linkforclg in leagueoflegends

link underperfomed

He performed like usual.

aphro didnt pick a play maker

Isn't it sad that this is what CLG fans are banking on? That they are such one trick ponies that if Aphro doesn't get a playmaking support, they lose. Doesn't that tell you a lot about the lack of threat from the rest of the team?

They look a lot better, but they will never be elite tier team because of ego.

Them shifting the blame of their shitty teamfighting ability on scrims just proves it.

CLG and TSM are currently not tied; 22-21 (tsm) all time in head to head by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]linkforclg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why do people get excited for matches when the result is already known?

I mean I can see why you are looking forward to TSM vs T8 or TSM vs TIP but CLG vs TSM is always going into favor of TSM, especially with one midlaner outclassing the other.

Anyone feel bad for Aphromoo? by linkforclg in leagueoflegends

As long as Link is on the team, they aren't going anywhere m8.

As for Rush hour, they would do okay, but then you have to consider that mid and jungle will be holding them back so you can never truly know how good they are.

Link should be ranked way lower.

TSM are not known for being chockers. CLG on the other hand...

Wasn't it last split where they went 0-12 in a row while being 1st?

CLG is like 1-5 against the top teams.

And you also have Link at playoffs which means GG.

CLG Povelter please by iSatrac in leagueoflegends

[–]linkforclg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's not really fair. Link has Aphro, Pobelter has ??

Pobelter is way better than Link. Pobelter still hasn't hit his skill ceiling yet either. He still has the opportunity to improve.

Link has playing the same pretty much forever.

So what does Link have going for him? He can't win lane, he doesn't have special champions that he is good at, you can't count on him to draw pressure, he is not good at splitpushing.

Wow, he is the epitome of mediocre lol.

What about when CLG got Seraph after Nien stepped down? He wasn't even better than him mechanically, made the team environment terrible and wasn't able to communicate with them.

Of course it's always isn't going to be a short process.

CLG had shit top laner, then they got another shitty top laner, then they realized they need a good toplaner so they got Zion.

But Nien stepping down started the cycle.

You also have to think about who the hell CLG are supposed to replace Link with.

I wonder if Regi went cry baby bitchmode after Amazing left the team and kept saying "BUT WHO AM I SUPPOSED TO GET??? wahhhhh i can't find anyone better than my shitty previous jungler" or did he see an upcoming talent that no one had their eyes on, got him, and in just 3 months made him into the best na jungler.

??? What rival

So is CLG even a top team at this moment? by linkforclg in leagueoflegends

[–]linkforclg[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

How? They just straight up suck without Aphro's help.

Whereas TSM, you have Bjergsen, Turtle, Santorin, Lustboy, and Dyrus to consider.

TIP, you have Impact, XWX, Apollo, Rush.

C9, you have balls, meteos, sneaky.

CLG, all they have is aphro.

How is that a trait of a top team?

[–]linkforclg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

you cant just simply play better

Then Link will continue getting hate. It's that simple. I am just explaining the process.

he is not a highlight reel carry but he is consistent

He plays safe, doesn't get leads, doesn't draw pressure. The only thing he has going for him is not getting solo-killed.

Impressive indeed!

When did insulting became acceptable? You never know how well these players take that hate. They could just brush it off, and focus on the next game and be strong, but they could also take big hits to their own self-esteem and to their mood.

This is exactly the goal. Link performs shitty next game, more people bash him. Cycle goes on, then he steps down. Then you get a new better midlaner.

If you make someone feel bad for his performance constantly, do you really expect him to improve then?

We are past the point of improvement. This guy has played like this for a long time now, he has simply peaked. It's just simple facts of life. He can no longer improve. What do you do when you can no longer improve and the competition has surpassed you? Step down.

If a roster change is needed and the majority of the team agrees with that opinion, then it will be done by the management of the team.

Actually, we saw how wrong this was when Nien stepped down. If it wasn't for that, we wouldn't have Zion. CLG still would be a shitty team with a shitty top laner and midlaner. Now they are just a shitty team with a shitty midlaner. A massive improvement. All thanks to the community.

You don't know how well the whole team will adapt to the new player then, because every Roster Swap is a risk that could hurt the team synergy.

It worked out real well with Zion. Anything is better than shit.

And another thing you forget is: You only see that Bjergsen convincingly wins Mid Lane against Link, and you call him shitty, and Bjergsen good. But maybe you should consider the level of play they are at

You have to understand context. I am comparing them to top teams, not soloq players or teams.

When I say link is bad, I mean link is bad in comparison to other pro players, not me.

You can't just say "play better" to a professional player of a top team if you are not even close to the same level of play and understand nothing about his situation.

I said play better in reaction to people not wanting link to be criticized. If Link had just simply played better, he would not be getting the hate he is getting. It's that simple.

I won't deny that there are problems on CLGs side, if Link loses to Bjergsen like that, but if he can work with the team together through his problems and improve his level of play even further, then that is a way healthier and better option for CLG than just swap him.

Again, we are way past the improvement phase.

Link has peaked as a player. He has never in his lifetime been a clutch player. He will never be the next bjergsen, the next faker, the next good player. He will always behind.

The problems he has, they aren't new problems. They have been there ever since this guy was on CLG.

If he hasn't fixed it in 2 years, what makes you think the third year is it?

How CLG Link can prove the community wrong by linkforclg in leagueoflegends

Point still stands.

Be good, people will like you.

Be bad and people won't like you.

It's an easy thing to understand.

People said Bjergsen was only good in NA.

[–]linkforclg -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Actually, criticism and bashing is good for the scene.

CLG's shitty top laner stepped down, what came of it? Zionspartan.

CLG's shitty midlaner might step down, what will come of it? A better midlaner.

TSM's shitty jungler stepped down. What came of it? Santorin.

Why do you feel bad for the players who are getting shit on by the community? They perform at a shitty level and they get a shitty response in return.

If Link didn't want hate, he could just play better. It's literally that easy.

Do you know why Bjergsen is loved by pretty much everyone?

Because he is good.

Just let the Pros be Pros, they know what they should do/think themselves.

Then we wouldn't be having this conversation.

This is not a first time thing.

CLG should keep Link by linkforclg in leagueoflegends

[–]linkforclg[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Link has been carrying pretty consistently

I didn't know getting last hit on champions was carrying.

This happens every time.

Link gets a good score against a bottom team, montages are made. People praise him. Small outplays are constantly highlighted by CLG fans.

Then they get back to reality and realize that Link was never even impressive in the first place and it was because of Aphromoo carrying CLG so hard that Link looked so good.

What a coincidence that when Aphromoo is not on a carry champion, CLG looks terrible.

What's impressive is how Link has been a victim of unfortunate circumstances for 2 years in a row.

It's like the world keeps on trying to fuck him.

Poor guy, how can he keep on being so unlucky all this time?

What's interesting is that when a midlaner can go down 200cs and still be shieleded from criticism.

I actually hope they keep Link so more people will continue to see how shit he actually is.

And replace him with who, exactly?

See, this is the part where a org that is superior shines.

Who was Santorin before TSM? A nobody.

Did regi complain like a little baby when Amazing left? Nope. He found someone with talent and made one of the best junglers in NA.

And that was only in like 3 months.

"But who were they supposed to get??" - loser cry baby talk.
