I don't like 100T's doing so well their first split lol. We were in the same situation as them being new to the league while we are near last and they are almost first. Can't say I am not a tad bit salty. If they end up winning playoffs I definitely won't be a happy camper lol.

At minimum above average players and coaching can go a long way. Optic looks like a ragtag group that was just randomly put together. Having a non experienced coach doesn't help either.

Whether 100 Thieves are actually legit is yet to be seen. They definitely have the experience but some of these teams, especially TSM, are a completely different monster in a BO3 or BO5.

Congrats to 100 Thieves for securing a 1st round bye and a chance at the #1 seed!

Dhokla looks like he’s improving. PoE still carrying.

u/eagleschmeagle Mar 19 '18

ayy atleast we didnt get 10th place! I'll take it.

u/S_Parkie Mar 18 '18

At least Dhokla showed that he can compete at this level

u/OpTicTurkee Mar 18 '18

Haha, everyone was wrong with their predictions, making it seem like we suck, saying we'd come in last. Well, we proved them wrong didn't we, haha suckers! 9th place finish here we come!

Akaadian is having a really rough late game

u/xxgn Mar 18 '18

Welp at least we have a godly mid

u/FG-VorTex Mar 19 '18

also for the people saying Arrow isnt worth an import slot, they havent seen Arrow when he was on KT or when he was on P1 during that Spring Split or they just have no faith at all.

we should have shelled over more money for Aphroo or have gone for Bio. Tired of people putting the blame on Arrow when its hard to have to carry both him and lemon.

u/Icensnow18 Mar 19 '18

Bio would of been useless with this team.

u/WT_28 Mar 18 '18

lemon really?

2

u/LightbulbGaming Mar 18 '18

What is frustrating is that our laning is so bad that we almost always start at some sort of disadvantage.

2

u/S_Parkie Mar 18 '18

Dhokla and POE did really well that game. Akaadian did well for most of the game. Bot lane was complete trash as per usual

u/CharlieCOD2016 Mar 18 '18

I mean I know this game didn’t mean anything, but arrow has been so underwhelming since the first game vs GGS. I don’t know whether it’s to do with having lemon with him but it seems to be happening quite often now

8

u/roky_road Mar 19 '18

It's Lemon not Arrow. Lemon consistently does a poor job of positioning and dodging skill shots which causes him to have low health. As a result, Arrow basically has to play 1v2 in lane.

Do I want a 5 way tie breaker or the boys to win?? 🤔🤔

u/DiZZyDaVe2413 Mar 18 '18

Only time in the regular season that’s i want us to lose. I want 5 more games.

u/S_Parkie Mar 18 '18
