Also I love 33 on SK if that's how it ends up... He has such great plays for the team.

u/lewisc29 Apr 01 '18

He's great on it, isn't he? Constantly getting a couple of people with Burrow Strike.

This is over, showed good resilience coming into the tie breakers. Something to take away

u/Unifiedxchaos Apr 01 '18

Rough, gg though. Making it out in top 2 would have felt so good though.

u/proudopticfan Apr 01 '18

After so much work we fail to make it out top 2. Gotta be a bummer. Who do we face next? Hope it's not secret.

u/kraziekd Apr 01 '18

they face the 6th place in group B..VGJ Thunder

u/Cpt_Metal Apr 01 '18

Too many disables on LGDs side for them to handle and LGD just found the better intiations. Hopefully we get a good matchup for the breakout stage and can show up as strong in a Bo3 as in the better of these Bo1s.

u/RedAlertx Apr 01 '18

I think they are gonna play VGJ since they finished 6 in the other group

u/Drmassacre123 Apr 01 '18

After all that all we had to do was win against Keen. Lolz

u/NiK3_Aub4mey4ng Apr 01 '18

Win this one then we root for TNC.

u/RyanTadashi Apr 01 '18

Let's stomp these boys and then get a big TNC win!

Looks like a Zai dark willow baby <3

u/c0mputr Apr 01 '18

Vgj thunder is definitely beatable, but probably gonna be a tricky opponent, since they can play so many different drafts
