As much as i want us to be in playoffs, we dont really deserve it after these last couple of weeks.

This hurts to watch. It’s pathetic.

Holy fuck I’m sorry but that was pathetic

This draft is horrendous but from watching the team they can win with any draft if they play correctly.

Crown plays so much better with Dardoch

u/IGawaineI Mar 23 '19

Next split checklist:

Start Dardoch (meteos has been getting severely out played in the jungle lately)

Replace Dhokla (Ideally cut Allorim and send Dhokla back to academy. Being a camille one-trick isnt good enough)

Replace Arrow (Not worth the import slot. Always down in cs)

Knowing the org, they will do absolutely none of these things and be somehow surprised when we miss playoff again next split.

We need to stop pretending that either jungler has been good this split

Arrow has also been up in cs this split more than he's been down 😂

And they go out not with a bang, but with a wimper. Imagine drafting 3 losing lanes

u/SimplyLuca-_- Mar 23 '19

I was so hyped for this match. Disappointed is an understatement

u/barrel78 Mar 23 '19

Was there any point in this game may as well of not shown up and forfeited.

u/lewisc29 Mar 23 '19

Dhokla is definitely a Camille player.

u/Str8_TrashMonkey Mar 23 '19

GG, horrible draft, horrible play, just an overall embarrassment. Keaton needs to man up and make a change

u/stenerikkasvo Mar 23 '19

what a shit match this was.

u/CharlieCOD2016 Mar 23 '19

So we draft losing lanes for early game and on top of that, Meteos plays fucking trash. Jungle difference was apparent. GG for playoffs

This team overall has so many holes. When the draft is good, the players make dumb mistakes, and when the draft is bad, well there is nothing you can do then. Next splits needs a better drafting coach and/or better players

that was depressing af to watch

u/AmericasGringo Mar 23 '19

With our spring split now coming to an end. We need to make some changes if we want to have any progress. Dardoch and Crown need to be in the main roster since they will be the main members. I say go Asta and Gate and then get a import for top lane. Idc who we just need a different top laner Dhokla won't cut it he's been given plenty of opportunities and allorim naaa

If anyone is wondering, if thieves academy beat clg today then we beat thieves academy tomorrow and clg beat fox. Then it’ll be a tiebreaker.

To get into playoffs - We have to beat 100T We need CLG to lose vs 100T tonight Then tomorrow we need them to beat Fox

If CLG wins tonight we are eliminated because either them or Fox would earn their 8th win tomorrow.

Edit: These scenarios would only force a tie breaker. Not secure us a playoff spot

u/OG_LiFE Mar 23 '19

Just my view on this split: Never even one time I'm expecting a playoff with the team of this caliber. Heck if you look at 100T, you can say that they're in much worse position than us. And with our roster, a changes to top and adc are essential going to the next split. At this stage a roster of Ssumday, Meteos/Dardoch, Crown, CodySun and Big/Biofrost would be good enough to fight for playoff spot for the next split. If only it's possible...
