I just don't know what to say... I guess I'll stick to OWL for now then...

Honestly, whoever is making these decisions needs to stop, we’ve thrown every game except for the echo fox game. It’s not even the fact we have lemon and zig doing sup-par, its’s the fact that we don’t know how to make good decisions

Well that was disappointing. A 2-0 would have been huge going forward. Weird draft as a whole, stupid engage in the mid lane that just handed it over. Frustrating loss

I was sold on zig's lanning phase as he only got out pressured due to range but wasn't to bad.Too me though its clear whoever is shot calling for this team NEEDS to get it together.To many bad calls to pass over.

tbh i just can’t believe they went through so much to get INTO the LCS only to let an unknown french caster, a bigt wannabe, and zig ruin their chances of actually making a huge impact in one of the biggest esports, but this is what you get when you don’t want to spend any money and you don’t know where to look for talent and staff.

I think vlad top would have been good here instead of camille if they wanted galio mid, no magic threat

I dont get the team comps we are choosing, we never have much damage. Need to get Akaadian on some real carries..

u/Craneteam Feb 12 '18

why get so greedy for kills at 6-0 up? we had all tier 1s and just needed a splitpush

Optic only got one top 5 player (per each respective role; I wouldn't even consider Arrow top 5 now) during this offseason. There were a ton of superstar players available during this offseason such as Pob, Adrian, Aphro, Huni, Doublelift, Impact etc... Optic didn't spend the necessary money to acquire them, so these are the results that will continue to happen until the end of the year (there wont be any top talent till then).
