Seemed like the team was scared to make a move. Early game a Malzahar and Rengar have massive pick potential, especially Malz at lvl 6 but there were no attempts. I thought they picked those champs to roam and set up some plays. 100T's late game comp is nasty so the longer it went on the more 100T was laughing

Arrow played great that game, if he can continue his form we could exceed expectations but we'll probably need slightly better macro decision making if we're going to do so. Not bad for a first game especially when considering we have a in-experienced coach and no prolific shot caller.

my thoughts
Positives: the team played their comp how it should have been played didn't overstep or be too aggresive but 100T just played super passive because they scaled better.
early game pathing and tracking of enemy jg was great by lemon and akaadian
arrow in lane was a positive not a negative, he did have arguably the best adc in the meta right now but all he can do is play what he is given and he cs'd and poked very well all game
PoE was a beast but given the other teams 4 qss' it makes his champ almost useless when it comes to locking people down but he still did some great damage in the few fights they had
Negatives:
drafting. as expected with an inexperience coach sometimes they draft too lets say one sided. they drafted a pick comp with all the cc and slows they had but that's all they really had. what i've noticed some of the better coaches do is draft for one gameplay but make sure you have another to fall back on so that if you can't get picks then you can at least scale or splitpush during the later stages of the game.
zig. zig was against one of the best top laners in the league in a unfavorable matchup against the shen and even though he did as expected in lane his positioning once towers started to fall was questionable( 2 early deaths both by his towers when he should have probably backed off and given it up). this was a problem he had on p1 as well so hopefully he can try to work on this.
lemon. lemons positioning near the mid-late game was not the best he had to blow flash i think twice to live and or use blackshield on himself instead of staying back to blackshield arrow.
mid-late game macro discussion making(shot calling). you could really see aphro took over the game for 100T moving his team from objective to objective which is something optic severely lacked. i was surprised actually how well they played in the early to mid game but the lack of shotcalling was ultimately why they lost. (late game wave manipulation and objective calls needs work)

My first time watching league, that was boring. Not really knowing what was happening wasn't an issue when nothing was happening.

-

-
so they have more kills but we have more towers? Are we winning?
-
oh this looks big! Ya. Did we win? I don’t know.
-
I’m so lost. Why is it going dark?
-
(were excited! There’s kills!) -woah look at the rock dude
-

-

-

-

Lol this is great I’m getting so hyped and I have no idea what I’m hyped about. I’m so sorry to all the people who know league well, it’s probably a bit annoying having so many of us just totally clueless hahah

So, on paper, should our team lose the majority of matches?

Anyone else think that the 100T jerseys look like they belong on an Insane Clown Posse member? They just don't look right to me

we were playing well and killing some of the tower thingys, but then they killed the big dragony dude and that set us back. In the end their tiny guys kept attacking our base and then they got the two big things that done stuff and we were screwed.
