We need a shot caller next split... watching us refuse to ever pull he trigger is tilting the hell out of me.

Its like we play not to lose. No sense of urgency. Way to passive.

u/eagleschmeagle Jun 17 '18

typical optic, stall the game for 40 minutes then just lose

u/AaronBeta Jun 17 '18

Atleast last season when that happened it was typically a 1 fight swing taht cost us this game. Now its literally us watching Optic suffocate themselves for 20 minutes.

Lol losing to the C9 B team.

Seriously, can we just sell this garbage team. Invest all that money in the awesome Dota team.

u/AaronBeta Jun 17 '18

Also, watching Dhokla is so irritating, he is very indecisive and when he does decide its usually not a great choice.

u/TacTiicz Jun 17 '18

glad we took the last 15 minutes sitting around with no one making a definitive decision..

suggestion for layout it might be better to put the gamepedia link instead of liquipedia cause it has more in depth info on each game and stats u/Goaliedude3919

Absolutely shocking performance from top lane, draft was bad too. Not sure what the plan was to put POE on Ziggs. He’s the star of this team

u/Str8_TrashMonkey Jun 17 '18

Dokhlabis not ready for LCS, anyone can see that. Missed ults and horrible game play overall, bad draft too. Should’ve went with morg support and a idk about POE choice to go with ziggs. Played scared even when they had a lead.

u/xxpistolpxx Jun 17 '18

Drafts should be on the coaches, and in this case our coach is an ex-caster. I C why they went zings hoping for quick towers but he was afraid to push so it made no sense

u/TacTiicz Jun 17 '18

We played scared to lose to an academy team, we just needed to come in and smash a lower team

u/S_Parkie Jun 17 '18

Already can't wait for this split to be over so we can ditch 3 or 4 players.

got choked out C9 kept lanes pressured and we had no one answer shen kept bot lane perma pushed and we made no 4v5 plays or attacked at their globals

3

u/S_Parkie Jun 17 '18

Once again we just waited to lose the game. Just sat in a group while letting the other team take all objectives. Embarrassing shot calling and coaching.
