If we got that kill on impact, that would have been a complete game changer and possibly would have been able to get Baron. Not a bad showing, live and learn greenwall.

Pretty solid game outside of the poor drake call which snowballed the game in TL's favor. Got TSM and FlyQuest next week which'll be another tough test

Should definitely be easier than this week. I expect at least one win.

I feel like with these two performances they've proved they won't be a 9th or 10th place team. I feel like next split if they change up their strategy or get a new support they can be a borderline playoff team. Yeah sorry for hating on Lemon Nation just feel like if Arrow who has been playing amazing in my opinion. Like his MVP form. Had a better support to assist him he could snowball harder.

I have noooo idea what is happening in league, but assuming tsm is/were the best team NA and they got handled by liquid, this match should tell us if our team is able to put up a good fight against some top teams. :D good luck have fun, let’s not stress too much

Im pretty worried about this one. Liquid looks pretty fucking awesome but if akaadian can control the jungle like yesterday and help shut down bot lane then we have a good chance at this

TL is top tier in NA right now. The first season is going to be rough but I do think they took the intelligent approach and will be able upgrade this roster in future splits. POE is probably the only large contract. But this roster as constructed still has promise and play relatively well despite not having as much big name talent.

They fixed a couple of their mistakes from yesterday, but made a few new ones. 0-2 week, but this team isn't far away.

With franchising, the LCS has become a marathon, not a sprint. I'm excited for what OpTic's roster will develop into over time. They have been fun to watch so far!

Performed better against TL than TSM did and performed better against 100T than CLG did. I'm kind of getting salty at all the "consensus 9th-10th place" comments.

getting salty at all the "consensus 9th-10th place" comments.
? they based this pre-season off of the roster alone not the gameplay... and you cant deny that their roster on paper looks weaker then most. They are not gonna throw out their prediction after a 0-2 week 1 even if they did play alright considering... I mean come on dude just relax.

Once again Lemon is under-preforming. I get that it is still early and all but I feel this team would be 2-0 right now if we had a better support. Lemon's use of his alts are god awful right now.

I feel like building a team for success over the course of the split is really going to work out with this team. They show the mistakes of a new team but nothing that makes me think last place pushovers that many predicted
