This split is the worst in the leagues history, no question.


But again, C9 always performs well. Huge roster changes, play in stage, top seed, you name it and C9 performs.

It's why Reapered is so highly regarded.

I don't think it really matters what state NA is in for C9 to do well when they have for years.

Considering that C9 has to practice against those teams I would wager it definitely has an effect. C9 hasnt been the top dog since 2014 and even then atleast they had TSM, CLG and LMQ to practice against. This year there is nobody.

Could be. I think they can be a semifinal ceiling team this year but all depends on draw as always.

A little early to be calling a team a Semi final team in Spring before the playoffs are even over. You also called TL a semi-final team and that was after MSI. None of the NA teams got out of groups last year and we are currently having the worst split in terms of play in LCS history and you are crowning C9 as a semifinal level team.

C9 has already made a semifinal. Simple as this roster being better than that one.

Duke made the final four last year, boy they are off to a great start this year I think they can make the final four again.



Meh.

Go look at 2018 Worlds again. It was one of the most wildly uneven brackets. Basically everybody who knows anything knows that C9 was very lucky to make a Semifinal and even then they got shite on by FNC who in turn got shite on by IG. They managed to draw a crappy Freecs team in the Quarter final.

Spare the meaningless designation of making playoffs in NA. TSM blows all the same no one cares.

Worlds is always about the draw. But C9 had made it out of groups as much as they have and with tons of roster changes because they're just well run and have a great coach.

With G2 losing in the first round no one in EU looks like they'd stomp C9 right now either.

But none of it matters. Meta will be significantly different by October and Worlds before any of them play each other.

Also it helps they have probably had the most favorable world draws compared to any other team. Of course none of it matters right now.

Thats why I said it was early to call them a semifinals level team and you said since they had already made it before with a worse roster they stood a good shot of doing it again.

I'd say the designation of being an NA team that can or can't make playoffs during one of the worst times in its history is a notable difference. I'd much prefer my team to have a shot at the extra experience and Bo5 practice with a chance at finals than literally have 0% chance because they couldn't even perform well enough to get an attempt.

When it matters.

This type of stuff doesn't work for League, split seasons especially when one is completely meaningless has no effect. Quit trying.

TSM blows the same as the other bottom tier teams. That was evident yesterday.

Correct, I think they have a good shot with this roster. Time will tell.

How efficient of TL to purposefully play like shite all season to get the extra time off to get even worse.

Eh, we'll see when it matters. Still the 2nd best roster on paper in the league and arguably first. Not much TSM can do with their roster though, 5th is about their ceiling again this year. The new norm for that org though.

Imagine hanging your hat on a BO1 game.

I can't imagine still being that big of a fanboy of a team that has been arse for over 2 years now. Yikes.

Imagine hanging your hat on the assumption that your team wasn't tryharding and doesn't actually just suck.

Literally no one thinks that so yeah...

The current LCS champs suck.

Are you a democrat? All you do is deflect from your own team sucking dick for over 2 years now and more the same this year 10-9 5th place same issues same mediocre roster.

And yet here you are, fanboy central like you're 15 on Reddit all over again.
