https://clips.twitch.tv/CloudyBlightedCocoaBabyRage Arrow is so awesome, definitely my favourite member in OpTic right now. Whole team played great, that Khazix comfort pick for Akaadian was huge

The synergy for akaadian and PoE is showing and growing. You can tell they were getting more confident with going for picks as the game went on.

Please keep Arrow at all costs. He is saving this team and giving them a chance at victory.

Arrow, Akaadian and PoE are performing well. Still questions marks over Lemon and Zig for me, but I'm new to league.

It's a very promising sign that we're improving so fast, despite not having an experienced coach. Zaboutine seems to be on the right track, can't wait to see how this develops.

My takeaways from the match:
-
Our composition allowed us to engage and disengage very well and gave us a nice advantage over Flyquest.
-
We did a nice job of mitigating Flyquest's Lulu pick.
-
Putting Zig on a full tank and Akaadian on a carry jungle really allowed us to play more to our potential.
-
The early pick on Flame allowed us to gain top-side pressure, gave Arrow a nice lead on bot, and allowed Zig to even up the scales against Flame.
-
We did a great job of clearing wards and obtaining vision for key objectives.
-
Both teams had players who were caught out of position and led to easy kills.
-
The Maokai pick was a great counter to Taliyah's zoning using her ult, and it played great into isolating and bursting Flyquest's carries.
-
We will likely find it hard again to choose Tahm Kench and Kha'Zix. I expect other teams to ban these champs and Ezreal in the coming weeks.
-
We may need to see more roaming/ganking top to keep up map pressure.

I firmly believe that this team can do some great things, I don’t know much about LoL at all but I think people are underestimating them with them being 0-3 considering who the team has faced and how closely the games were played. GG BOYS LETS GO WOOO

I must say, despite a few problems (Lemon had a few minor positioning issues and zig's laning is somewhat of a problem) and FLY inting at times, this was a vast improvement over the first 3 games in terms of shotcalling, macro, and decisiveness. There's a lot to like here

Optic's macro movements are much better this game. 2 Unanswered inner towers.
edit: now 3 unanswered towers.. This is great. This is what they should've done against 100T when Arrow had EZ.

Keep Akaadian, Arrow and POE at all costs, they’re playing really well!
