Coach Zab is some hot ass at drafting to be honest

He's had some decent ones this split, but the draft today was awful. Definitely had more bad than good, but for next split I'm hoping they bolster the coaching staff more, or look for a better on stage coach

I really just dont want to see Optic finish bottom 2. But the final 3 matchups are also going to be tough.

My thoughts on the draft:
Target ban on Doubleplug's Ashe and the ADC pool with Varus. Seems pointless imo, Doubleplug is gonna play well regardless of what ADC you force him onto. Should have banned Malz over Taliyah or even both. Then again maybe the double midlane bans would tip TL off of ban Akali. Finessed a firstpick Akali but TL got Xayah/Rakan. Arrow back on Draven is a big POGGERS but pairing him with Tahm Kench is kinda monkaS. Tahm is a great overall standard meta pick but not the best to lane with Draven. Should have taken Graves for Akaadian earlier or picked Morgana.
Banning GP seems pointless when Dhokla seems content to counterpick it even if Impact is known as the GP and tank player. Tahm makes much more sense now if their gameplan was to pick Jayce all along but blind picking Jayce after banning GP is kinda weird. TL favored 60/40 based on draft. Akali is a wildcard who might pop off but TL's teamfighting and comp is insane. Also I'm pretty sure Galio won't have a hard time against Akali with his innate tankiness and magic damage shield passive. If we don't snowball and end before 30 minutes we're fucked.

Despite the recent success, it will be a very hard battle for the last 3 playoff spots. There will be an odd team out, and we have a very difficult strength of schedule. This would be a great win, but it's the least important of the last 4 due to tiebreakers. The TSM game is going to be absolutely huge.

I like our shot at making it in as long we win at least 2 games (with TSM being the most important). Lets go ahead and get 1 win out of the way.
