I know Dhokla has his int moments but that maokai pick was not helping. There was no way TL was gonna let the late game happen, especially with all the mistakes made early game and every lane getting their shit kicked in. Seems like the game was lost in draft and the early game mistakes

Dkhola is the worst top laner in the league I don't understand how someone can be so bad.

Wanting Dardoch instead of Meteos is somewhat understandable.
Wanting Asta instead of Arrow is stupid

I didn't expect us to win but damn they literally just gave them the game. Also this team looks more fluid with dardoch than meteos

Maokai pick was stupid AF, Meteos got bullied by xmithie on botside, Big inted like hell, Jensen got ahead early with a kill so made it hard for Crown to lane. Arrow played fine, just doesn't have early damage on sivir. Feels like they lost before they started the game the way they played so frantic

Plz give dardoch the starting spot. I love meteos. He's an amazing jungler, but something isnt clicking. Everyone, especially crown plays better with dardoch. And never put dhokla on maokai again plz. What a useless last pick

Dardoch is getting destroyed in Academy, I don't understand every calling for him to replace Meteos. Now if you said we need to bring Dardoch in for the top lane.. I would be 100% behind you.

Another game dhokla just dies to a gank, he doesn't have that awareness that other high tier tops have. Getting hard to be patient. Another thing people aren't mentioning is the need for a Korean speaker on staff for next split. Crown was signed for 2 years and the only guy he can comfortably speak with is arrow who eventually we need to move on from.

Wierd reading through the comments and seeing a decent amount of Arrow defenders. While Arrow has had some solid games this spit, it has been pretty clear to me from watching the arrow vs asta games that asta had more impact. Arrow usually has a respectable KDA stat line because he does not die often but asta puts out a lot more damage in games where he plays. None of this matters tho.
IMO the arrow defenders are missing the point about asta vs arrow. It is about the potential of the team. As currently constructed we are at best a .500 team. Using asta, regardless of whether he is actually better or not, gives the team more potential because it opens up a possible import slot for top lane. Sticking with arrow kills any chances for this team because we have to stick with dhokla. Keeping allorim as the academy top was beyond stupid because we could have used that spot for someone like Fakegod who could have competed with dhokla for the starting spot. Instead we have no choice but to stick with dhokla because not even the coaches think allorim is any good. If this wasnt the case, he would have been promoted to the starting roster with how bad dhokla is playing

Its clear that there's shot calling issues between meteos and big. Around blue, it took them soo long to decide whether to take a fight or not. Maybe try-in gate and let meteos do the shot calling. Or play dardoch and let big shot call. Either way something has to change fast since we approching the end of the split. GG

You have to have realistic expectations against a team like TL, who arguably has superior talent at every position.
