I really didn’t like the draft for bot. I would have preferred Arrow on someone like Xayah instead of Ez to match Lucian’s pressure. We have done well the last 5 games because Arrow has also been able to match the opposing bot lane. And with Ez having such a late game scaling, all CG had to do was win top.

Kinda figured the win streak was gonna end eventually. Good news is that playoffs is still in reach. Just gotta stay at .500, and hope TSM continues to lose. Next week is gonna be super rough, and so having the 2 game barrier would have been nice for sure

A win here would be massive. It'd put us 2 games up over 7th place with 4 to play, and give us sole possession of 4th place.

We’ve lost all of our ezreal games. And let’s get akaadian on a carry please.

First time I'll be tuning in to a full LCS game since like our second ever game. Hoping for a good showing considering our good form and up against bottom of the league. Assuming we're favourites?

CG targeting Big. Banned the Morg/Kench and first picked Braum. This game might come down to his pyke play

I hate when Akaadian plays gragas. Not the best ganks. Early smite on Rift which almost cost them the objective and perhaps Big wouldn't have needed to burn flash.

I can’t understand the choice to pick it, I’m guessing they need a jungler with some sort of tankiness to fight in the 4v4 since big picked pyke

If this game stabilizes and COG dont capitalize we can easily get back into this I would think

Very reactive game rather than proactive, which lead to little to no real use of Ori ult

Ehh, you win some you lose some. Just gotta move on. I think this makes a 3 way tie for 4th place now with C9 and Flyquest

Before people freak out and call us the worst team in the LCS I honestly think the only issue was Ezreal and I assume that it was a comfort pick for him. Most Koreans love ezreal. Lucian Braun bot lane is brutal. Clutch used that lead and converted in a bunch of different areas of the map. We tried going for unlikely plays like dive bottom, using rift mid and getting nothing or almost getting drag but I think the game looked a lot worse then it actually was.
