17:30 dom is fucking dead on with this shit. playing jg rn is apparently responsible for everything from winning 3 lanes and controling every dragon and every herald and dont forget somehow farming at the same time as well. Hate it when my lanes lose before I even get a full clear off and apparently it is my fault I did not gank level 2
Jungle is unbelievably strong as always but it just sucks to play so now I play bot lane instead that role is op as fk as well and you don't get pissed on by all your lanes for their shortcomings
I can actually see Blaber trying Diana quite a bit. It feels like a champion he would play well on. Fast clear Lv 3 ganking Ability to go full psychofish I think he might pull it out against DWK
I see it eventually, but so would Damwon, Olaf Udyr Heca are no longer in meta, so I see DWK banning out Blaber’s 3 likely picks (Diana, Rumble, Kindred), at which point he’s forced on morgana and suddenly C9 are no longer able to play their standard playstyle and forced to play botside, which Zven and Vulcan are capable of doing, but it’s a massive playstyle shift from mid jungle focus that enables C9 to play for early mid game
@@Thomas-sr2oq Blaber is not limited in his champion pool though and not afraid to take something nobody would expect. This is a man who drew Rek'sai bans this split. And it's not like champions such as Lillia and Xin don't fit that same playstyle. I also don't see DK trying so hard to ban out 1 player on the first game of a new patch. Also, if C9 don't want Blaber on Morgana, they'll just ban it themselves and now they put Canyon in an awkward spot. Now obviously DK is a better team than C9, but if they're forcing both players into lower META picks, that favors the team who isn't as good usually
im really scared for mad but im also somewhat confident in atleast them making out of groups (then probably losing to all other major regions). i feel like elyoya and humanoid are really strong players (if we take playoff performances) but the other 3 could be easily exploited imo so i think in groups they do ok but thats it
@@gillmahrmambane3032 i think the mad vs c9 games will be close but c9 takes it i think. i think top is kind even or fudge favoured (unpopular opinion i think) then elyoya is better than blabber then c9 win mid and bot is even also imo
@@ares3208 Armut definitely better than fudge and blaber is only a tad bit better than elyoya. Also Perkz > Humanoid. Zven > Carzzy and Vulcan > Kaiser. If mad wins its based off teamplay
Yo, Dgon, I keep hearing you saying Ananasik name wrong, it is just like pineapple in different languages Ananas-ik. Simple S. Thank for all content, hope it helps!
As a jungler I can confirm it's MILES easier to climb when you go up in elo. Like just from Gold to D4 is a MAJOR relief and you actually get flamed LESS lmao. I've usually just filled or played Top to get to Plat then started jungling again to Diamond. I can only imagine how big it changes in High elo.
i saw it on jankos's stream. Jankos was playing against Khan and was camping his lane, and Khan typed in all chat "Do you want to fk me?" And Jankos responded to that exactly how you expect he would.
Also it’s kinda crazy how NA is actually a content factory for crazy shit like their reality tv and wrestling like LS mentioned, yet when it comes to league for some reason they need to be the most boring region. You could see two 800 pound sisters and their wacky adventures on their tv but on lcs it’s just “we happy and we game!” Like imagine how much of a banger that 100t situation this split could have been if we saw closer react to dealing with ryoma or something. NA literally roasts people on their tv but lcs is so carebear and making it boring.
A week without Face Check felt like an eternity. Definitely my favorite League talk show Also fantastic point about content from Dom. Comparing the C9 TSM and TL docs from now and 5 years ago is night and day.
The reason I dislike jungle is because I have no idea what I’m doing but the enemy jungled is always Pants Are Dragon, I get counter jungles into oblivion, and my team just yells at me. Fuck jungle.
Because PSG was beating DK and RNG in scrims. That's probably what he bases it on but using scrims as an argument hasn't worked for a long time because the result in the tournament is usually the opposite.
So I think c9 can make finals it’s very plausible they beat mad for 3rd in rumble stage and very plausible they can beat a flawed rng in a bo5 or at least make it a competitive series
Developmental leagues success should not be based on viewership it should focus on teaching the players the macro facets of the game back timers power spikes wave manipulation and sidelining and catching side waves and jungle camps from certain positions of power different games and different matchups can put you in not how many fans are watching the better question how many scouts and analysts are watching
Honestly the import rule is the only thing stopping LCS owners from cutting off their own legs by removing academy and amateur entirely. Though maybe they need to do that and suffer the consequences so that a proper academy system can be put in place considering how ass the current format is.
"brazil should be better than they are" exactly what every Brazilian say every split, but the older players don't give a fuck about anything other than twitter clout and the new ones are just in there for the meme.
LCS content used to be so fuckin good. Breaking point is still one of the best league docs. But at least in the west there’s less honesty and behind the scenes stuff. I really liked fnatic content but it’s gone so far downhill. C9 content used to be entertaining at least. There are teams that don’t even get mic checks out, it’s crazy. And LS is right, NA is all carebear good guy stuff now. It’s so boring.
Hey league might be dying in NA but we got Valorant growing and poppin off here though. Honestly I used to watch League all the time, been shifting towards Valorant, where we got actually good NA talent.
Valorant. Only ever hear displeased CS players talk about it. The game has no presence on twitch etc. It wont be much bigger than overwatch since there is no real passion surrounding it either. Its a derivative cashgrab like LOL but not as fun or addictive. My 2 cents.
@@chaosmagician1865 Literally every stat says otherwise. Most CS stars have moved over to Valorant. It's already much, much bigger then overwatch ever was in terms of viewership, salaries, and prize pools. Do some research instead of just listening to boomer cs players that are sad their game is dying.
So hear me out... I can see MAD win MSI. It might sound far fetched, but if they improve on how they played versus PSG, they can probably beat DWG and RNG if they overperform on the day.
unfortunatly MAD arent a super team. arent even a good team. the S-tier tems in EU were only G2 and best team in spring RGE. unfortunatly G2 had mentality of - yeah whatever we dont need to do anything and will still win (and without Perkz who could shake them to work it was fatal) and RGE are i dont know - maybe choking in clutch moments?- who throw the final. i mean congrats to MAD for beeing able to catch the throw but still i think them FNC, MSF, S04 were the middle pack and miles away from the 2 teams at top. and it was RGE who lost the final and not MAD winning it. and now at MSI my best hope for west is C9. ofc i hope MAD will prove me wrong at start playing like crazy getting to finals or so but yeah.
Well he did say C9 makes it out of group C for sure and that if DWG has dogshit drafts then C9 can come out first. I know the framing was more about DWG having bad drafts and the wildcards in the group being some of the weakest regions but still it is technically a net positive statement about C9.
@@archaontheeverchosen539 yeah, but dont blame that on cancel culture lol. If anything EU orgs are more sensible twords issues. Besides have you ever watched NA news? The fuck do you mean they dont want anythinf that isnt positive
I think Wildcats will upset MAD in groups, and then MAD will replace Armut with their top laner StarScreen to continue the circle of life
This is the way
you know what, i would accept that as long as MAD gets out of groups HAHAHA
i can totally see mad struggle making it out of groups to winning msi and stomping damwon haha
@@DraynorManor Then you woke up, right ?
@@baptisteshorjian9292 ? mad looks better than damwon, 3-0 gen g is not a great feat when gen g look like bottom tier eu team

Hey LS! And dom and dgon!
Missed you guys last week. Looking forward to this one. Once I'm done with work though!

Pentanet's sub is D4 on EUW Solo Q at the moment
Trash talk segment was great.
I wish LS would've gone more into detail about why he thought PSG would finish above MAD but it seems like the predictions are good overall.
Because PSG was beating DK and RNG in scrims. That's probably what he bases it on but using scrims as an argument hasn't worked for a long time because the result in the tournament is usually the opposite.
Thank you!
C9 FAN HERE IM REAL
That intro was so funny
Thanks, Joe
RIOT doesn’t allow heels to exist in any level of NA league of legends.
Betting on Damwon to win it all. If they don't win I'll buy every Lux skin in the game
Can we get a hot tub facecheck episode?!

That didn't age well
Don't forget the C9 coach is not in iceland
Day 4 of Player to guess to be Kiwikid
