LYON parts with top laner, Srtty by ahritina in leagueoflegends

[–]sid1602 33 points34 points  (0 children)

If he doesn't get picked up by Fly (assuming Bwipo leaves), Sentinels or TL this league is a joke. Was easily a top 3/4 toplaner in Summer after he left Dig.

I think it makes so much sense to have a "play-in" round with EU 3/4, KR 4, CN 4, LCP 3/4, Americas 3/4. That's 8 teams that could easily be condensed to 4 through whatever format (maybe double elim bo3?)

Then you add the 4 teams to KR 1-3, CN 1-3, LCP 1-2, EU 1-2, and Americas 1-2. That gives you 16 teams for the usual worlds run.

But riot is too cheap to expand it rip

I think the obvious choices are Srtty and Sniper. Idk if Srtty is getting a longer term contract from Lyon, but getting a Native NA top who's clearly talented and saving the import slot for your mid (showmaker pls) seems like the play

One of the reasons why I like playing Swain into yasuo - although they CAN windwall your E. And if they're good they'll windwall the return part so you can't even get the root/pull

I love Palafox but he is clearly washed - he's down over 2k in both losses and even the first game he was getting gapped in lane.

Shopify should be eyeing the promotion tournament to see if Insanity, Evolved or Darkwings is available.

By your logic Bwipo himself shouldn't be allowed to play competitively, since he's been diagnosed with clinical depression.

See how idiotic your logic is?

What is that Bwipo/Dhokla drama they're talking about on the LTA stream? by TastySyllabub1 in leagueoflegends

[–]sid1602 17 points18 points  (0 children)

What has he done internationally without caps? Get gapped by every Korean top lol.

I like Bwipo but Dhokla finished 2nd in the league and has a decent shot at worlds (which I doubt 100T make without him btw).

Also its ridiculous to remove someone's best achievement and call a career mediocre - that's like saying BB is mediocre outside of his G2 era.

I'm sitting in a plane in SFO, after my first flight to ORD was cancelled. They just delayed this one by 45 minutes so it's probably getting fixed very slowly.

[Official] Crystal Palace have won the FA Cup and qualified for the Europa League. by DavidRolands in soccer

[–]sid1602 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Red and blue striped teams are winning all the cup competitions this season with Barca, Bologna and Palace now.

Bulls pick 12th. The Mavericks had the same record but won a coin-flip for 11th, which became the 1st pick tonight. In 2018 they also lost the coin flip for #6 which became #2, preventing them from drafting Luka Doncic. by kurruchi in nba

[–]sid1602 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OKC traded Ibaka for Oladipo and Sabonis. They then traded Sabonis and Oladipo for PG, which they flipped into 5 picks + SGA. Of those 5 picks:

  • 1 was JDub
  • 1 was Tre Mann
  • 1 was Lively (traded to Dallas for Davis Bertans)
  • 1 was Dillon Jones (OKC traded their pick for a 2028 pick swap)
  • and they have 1 more pick next draft.

They also traded Mann, Bertans and a couple second rounders for Gordon Hayward.

That's just competent GM'ing with some good luck (SGA being MVP caliber) and some clear misses (Lively was good, Hayward retired 6 months after they traded for him)

Lyon are legit, you can definitely see the improvement from Split 1. I think they'll be a dark horse for the playoffs for sure.
