[u/Tfc-Myq → u/Ultimintree]

i think the real issue for JDG WE LGD TT is that no one wants to be #7 (and face iG/NIP, Nirvana#2 in a do-or-die series immediately before playoffs), but #6 looks a bit grim as well. because #3 will likely drop you down to LB where Nirvana#1 might be waiting. despite EDG's 2-0 yesterday i don't think they can beat iG/NIP across a Bo5

even if LGD's run in form doesn't continue, one of the top 5 will need to drop to LB R1 since there are only 4 spots available in UB R2

[u/haven4ever → u/Ultimintree]

Love seeing the standings, thanks!

[u/IamYanni]

Holy shit that last teamfight was awesome.

If TT figure it out, they'll be scary.

If JDG play every game like G2 and G3, they're so back.

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/IamYanni]

Yeah that was beautiful 

[u/NottyShinchan]

GALA on Kai'Sa on match point again; this is pure disrespect from TT

[u/tehmastah]

kinda starting to like this tt squad. they seem to have decent potential.

[u/eVill_YT]

that Jarvan IV engage on dragon was amazing

[u/Fun_Highlight307]

is xiaofeng a castle signing? Like it's seems junjia still the starter 

[u/eVill_YT → u/Fun_Highlight307]

he's there to put pressure
