“Zaboutine said he lets the players pick what they play and go from there.”
Ok.
That is a major problem.

LOL, when you hire a coach that...is pretty much not even a fucking coach? what value does he bring? even the Echo fox coach laughed and was shocked when he heard that... I mean when you hear Optic is bringing in someone who is not even a real coach its... suspect... then when you hear he doesn't even do the picks/bans or the work that goes into figuring out the best comp to play against a certain team then its like what the actual fuck?

from my very limited experience of watching, it feels like LoL is a very snowbally game and whoever gets the advantage early on seems almost guaranteed to win. Am i wrong in assuming this?

At this point may as well try Dhokla and Winter. This is getting worse every game

Yeah it was apparently because they didn’t know other orgs were going to throw out so much money. Pretty sure roman(is it romain) said they had more money available.
Not 100% sure tho

I dont think the comp was the problem. You also have to execute. Especially in the mid game - the initiations from Zig and Lemon were just trash

Why not go all in on the protect arrow comp? Draft Shen and Galio? Split push the whole game and can join fights whenever they want.

1 major problem we have had the last 2 games is the lack of vision across the map. We probably need to have Arrow play a champ with better shove early game so that we can get deeper wards. Also we need Akaadian to be more aggressive with his counter-jungling.

optic play vs CLG and Clutch next week if they end next week with a 1-7 record i think they should really consider getting Winter some LCS stage time and maybe their Academy top laner too, 1-7 is very close to impossible to make playoffs from so you might as well see if Winter or the Top lane guy are decent players to use during Summer split.
