Too bad flyquest Cinderella story ends next week

I can't see FQ beating TSM. A C9/P1 upset wouldn't shock me though.

This split still seems TSM's to lose and they should be even better with DL back in summer.

I know EU isn't followed nearly as much here, but Origen lost the first round of the promotion tournament 3-0 against the weaker challenger team (according to most). Challenger to World Semi Finals back to Challenger seems to be their fate.

Xmithie probably hangs it up. Hes 25 second oldest player in LCS. And its pretty obvious hes fallen behind compared to other junglers. Darshan is probably done. Huhi should be gone but I dont think they replace 3 members

The meta shifted away from CLG.
They really abused lane swaps and used the jungler to help darshan split push.
When the lane swap was taken away, they still tried to facilitate the split push comp by using HuHi to roam. Of course if teams let that happen, it will work. But most good teams don't let Huhi roam for free and don't let CLG set up the split push without punishing it.

Against flyquest, they put Xmithie on Rengar and Huhi on a roaming champ (Asol/Ahri), and they were able to win by getting ahead on Fizz/Mundo/Bot lane.

The main difference in games 3, 4, & 5, flyquest pushed xmithie onto graves, and he performed rather poorly.

In game 3 & 4, Flyquest also forced huhi onto a non-roamer (syndra). And it was obvious he wasn't as effective. They even tried Darshan on fizz in game 3 and on tank naut in game 4, but neither worked. Their style had been negated.

In game 5... of course they try to go back to comfort picks. Darshan split push Camille, huhi on roaming ekko. But flyquest realized that they just needed to match the mid roam with talon and give balls renekton to survive the dives and slow down the early/mid game snowball.
CLG predictably spends constant resources top to use the only play style that works for them. Flyquest snowballed bot. And Fly just stomped the team fights that were forced when Camille couldn't split push.

CLG is really predictable and just use their strengths to overpower the lower teams. I don't see the current squad and game plan competing on a high level when TSM and C9 are so adaptable and strong individually.

Statistically speaking, the other team should have the troll 55.56% of the time. Unless you are the problem sometimes, even then it's only 50/50.

But that's why I mostly Aram. Less commitment. More games. Everyone is a troll.

Edit: just played an ARSR. Thankfully I got Cho... and the Darius laned against me.
Bot fed 9 kills in 8 min. And the mid Kalista was feeding Ahri. Pulled it out by just getting my stacks up and keeping Darius down.
Eventually, Darius and I were both unkillable, but I could one shot their squishies and he needed 5 stacks to go off. Kite him out whilst eating squishies. GG.

Camille, Azir, Jhin, Rengar, or Velkoz with my saved 6300 IP?

Buy the cheapest Champs with ip, then recoll champ shards in the hextech system to try for costlier champs.

Lot of text, but it will help you understand how chest accumulation works. I wasn't really sure about it myself, but this helped out.

The link also has information on how to acquire the other hextech items as well.

quote:

---

You have four chest slots in your profile; once you’ve earned four chests, you won’t be able to earn more until a chest slot unlocks. Chest slots unlock seven days from when you first locked the slot, but only one slot unlocks at a time. Purchasing chests doesn’t contribute to this limit, so even after locking all four slots, you can purchase another. You can purchase up to 25 chests per day.

quote:

---

Once you earn a chest from achieving S rank on a champion, you won’t be able to earn another with that champion until the end of the season. You can see which champions you’ve earned chests with in your profile’s Champions tab. This chest cap resets each season.

---

quote:

---

If someone in your premade group earns an S rank, you’ll receive a chest as well! The chest you receive is tied to the champion you’re playing, so that champion will be unable to earn more chests for this season. If multiple players in your premade receive an S- or higher in a single game, only one chest will be granted for that game.

---

quote:

---

You can only earn chests if you're playing a champion you own. So, if you rent a champion or play an unowned champion on the free rotation, you won't be able to earn a chest with them. However, if your premade partner earns an S rank on a champion they don't own, you can still earn a chest from their S rank as long as you own the champion you're playing.

Theres no chickens in League.

I started playing Hots. Games dont take as long and it honestly seems like the community might be better at the game. I think its because not as many people play so the people who do understand how to play

I easily have over 500$ into league. Its just not fun anymore that you play one terrible game and it takes an hour to get through it because nobody wants to surrender
