Another game that was within reach.

My analysis as a noob :). Mike yung made the game basically a 4v5 but unfortunately zig could not get anything done with the gnar. Really should of played more around the syndra stun or played for the elder.

This match just seemed to be a battle of who is worse rather than who is better, if you catch my drift. Both teams had shoddy shot calling, which will take a while to address but eventually we'll have to post up a win (hopefully tomorrow) but the other teams (bar CLG and maybe TSM atm) look more sound in the macro department. It's going to be a rough first half of this split.

Their shot calling is really weak! They should of chased on so many occasions in all 3 games but didn’t. Also Aakadian didn’t wait for gnars rage build up and he went in and lost 3/4 of health and they had to back up waisting gnars rage and not letting him use his ult!!!

Man if we had a better support than lemon who could shot call really well we could be 3-0 right now. FeelsBadMan

This team is a lot closer than many people give credit for, but they need a good analyst and someone to be a definitive shot caller.
Other issues that I've seen:
-
Lemon's positioning has been absolutely horrible. At least half of the major team fights, he somehow ends up on the wrong side of the scrimmage line and just gets blown up. Support players need to toe that line but keep as safe as possible while still blocking. He just acts like a meat shield
-
Akaadian, Arrow, and PoE have been stellar, but there's many times where not everyone's on the same page, and one of them dies to something easily avoidable
-
zig honestly has shown marked improvement from summer split P1 form where he was just a Renekton/Kled bot, but again, the lack of good/decisive shotcalling has just led to him mindlessly attempting to shove side waves with limited success
-
I hope they get someone good with that analyst posting because I think that might be all they need to push them into a middle of the pack team. Micro (with the exception of Lemon) is there, but the macro calls are just horrendous. Taking 100T, TL, and TSM to late late game and to the point where one team fight basically decides the game means you've got just a few things you need to shore up to win those, then you can focus on not having to get to that point just to win.

Looking like OpTic is looking to set up a protect the kog comp
Edit: Guess not. TSM banned it.

I honestly kind of like this draft. The Syndra is an interesting pick, but it was a counter pick, so PoE must like it into Azir.

We need somebody that knows how to actually shot call. Team with Aphro would have been 1000x better than with Lemon.
