Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

I simultaneously can and cannot envision an NA LCS without CLG. I've never really liked Hotshot, but they've been around so long it'd be a weird weird world without them in the top tier.
Same here. I don't want HotshotGG to win, but I do want Aphromoo to stick around. So I'm kind of torn here.
Wooooo another Rammus!

And any Karthus worth his salt won't leave any minions for Ryze to engage with. And any Ryze that blows his ult to push a wave doesn't have his ult to engage for 30 seconds (because he has to use his spells to reduce the cooldown, which is 70 seconds at level 6.
Karthus has all of the tools to beat Ryze and everything that Ryze is weak against. The lane is Karthus's lane to lose.
Yeah he said that in the interview.
They asked how pro players learn a new champ (In regards to expanding their roster) and he said that he'll often go into bot games to get the mechanics down. He then said when he can go 50-0 in a bot game he figures he's gotten the mechanics down well.
I doubt he streams those games, and he is probably referring to the fact that it's his first time with a new champ in a real game. Bots are great for mechanics and last hitting but you need real games under your belt to master it. He said it takes him 5-10 normal games to master a champ.

lol most likely.

New champs aren't allowed in LCS the first few weeks they're out. I'm kind of curious about if they're allowing Sej and Trundle, but I doubt we'll find out this week.

Hahahaha that game was so much fun!
Just got out of an ARAM though, It was a tough matchup but we rocked it
Delphin Twitch Stream:
They should allow other leagues to start up. With how insanely popular league is, the numbers it's pulling, they should be able to get at least one online league per region going. Which would let the lower tier teams duke it out, and get something to practice and sponsor exposure in so they can stay sponsored outside the LCS.
I would imagine they may do that eventually but I think it's a good idea to keep it centralized for now until it gets even bigger and they can afford to split it out a bit.
Delphin Twitch Stream:
Spirit Stone is only good on people who are already good at clearing the jungle. Tanks like Mao'kai, Nautilus, Shen, and Rammus have absolutely abysmal clear times, and Madred's is infinitely more useful.
They should let notriot people run more tournaments, as far as I know valve only runs The International, the multiple other tournaments are other people. I might have misunderstood it though. The way I understand it Riot are very much control freaks about the competitive element, which is making it *really* hard for teams to form and keep up unless they are in the LCS. 2 teams disbanded when they dropped out this time around, right? I might have missed something though, but league should be getting more stuff going on, considering the numbers it gets.
Yes but they need to make sure that their tournament is the big event and that it will get enough viewing before they split into smaller leagues. I would imagine once they get to that point you may see smaller leagues being created, but not until it can be assured that the main league will stay strong. It would be idiotic to fragment without insuring that first.
Delphin Twitch Stream:
it's not that they're not allowed but that they're a patch behind, I believe
Except as they stated during the Dignitas game, Rammus wants health, so Ancient Golem is the better way to go more often then a madreds you aren't going to fully upgrade. Most of the probuilds players are going Golem and Boots 5, forgoing any of the armor bonus until after in the build. This of course assume you aren't getting outright destroyed like TS and Cats are because it's so easy to put him behind.
I'd say riot paying actual salaries, as well as the rather impressive pricepools would keep the LCS as the premier tournament.
It is a good point though, just hope they release it within a few months at least. LCS should be cemented as the most important event by now, and having a bigger scene could only lead to good things.
No, they're on the Freljord patch (you can tell from Nunu's splash art).
And now he's decided to get MANLY on us.
But I do love how the commentators keep talking about the color of the items Ezreal buys.
They've probably got Liss, Sej and Trundle disallowed then. Since Trundle and Sej are much stronger picks now and no one is bothering with them.
Even if they weren't disabled (not sure if they are) It's a bit risky to go for untested champs in a series as important as this. Much better to go for known variables.
Delphin Twitch Stream:
Going Sej over Rammus would have only been an improvement today, except that 1 game Dignitas built around Rammus.
Madred's costs 400 gold. Spirit Stone costs 400 gold. SS, however, locks you into buying Golem when Tenacity doesn't do anything for Rammus.
No one fully upgrades Madred's, unless you have an AS steroid and you get an early kill.
You only need sustain on Rammus if you're just flat out spamming all your spells, which you'd only do if you don't have a Madred's. Madreds Rammus walks up to creeps, hits W, and goes to the next camp.
I honestly can't think of a situation where Rammus would run out of mana without either himself or the enemy team being dead.
Well yeah but it will always be that way outside of certain specific team comps. There is money and position on the line so they have to carefully weigh the riskier picks, that being said we still see a pretty varied lineup because the champion balance is pretty well done so there aren't TOO many of those types of champs.
But yeah there will always be those popular safe picks.
Delphin Twitch Stream:
Which leads to my soloq complaint. People pick "pro" champs without realizing the pros pick based on their team comp, not just whatever they feel like playing. Arg.
