Finally figured out how to make NA Jayce win. Have your bot lane stomp so hard you don't actually have to do anything.

Ajp_iii•

didnt see him hit anything in lane against a melee champ

CarolusWrecks:eusk: :naopt:•

Did he even land one shock blast?

OG NIELS HAS RECONNECTED.

TheGloriousEv0lution:cnwe:•

I want to say something about TSM not being as proactive but they're already at the tier 2 turrets and Baron hasn't even spawned yet lol

16
PM_ME_BAKAYOKO_PICS•

I mean I don't think anyone can say TSM hasn't been proactive this whole split, they've won early game pretty much every game.

9
LordMalvore:natsm::kindred:•

The one game they didn't Reddit went "NARAM LUL" so we've already covered that one.

3
Ythapa:soraka:•

They've actually been pretty good about punishing commitments in other lanes this game.

Vedius was right

oh snap, yeah he was.

Missed it, what did he say?

OPT will win

DuckAsFumb:eufcs::nac9:•

Funny how NA can play Sylas while being garbage on Jayce and EU being the complete opposite

11
SirFumeArtorias:nac9::ahri:•

I really feel like the bad sylas are because of inexperience and picking him vs bad teamcomps. That pick is really strong against enemies with good ultimates, and his heal is absolutely nutty in prolonged fights, while also Spirit Visage prevents him from being bursted too fast

4
BoostedTyrian:karthus: :nac9:•

Sylas works on 4fun enviroments /s

​

It's a really enemy comp dependent pick, since the ults he steals are what break or make the champ in the matchup

3
notsujangupta•

TSM wrath will be swift.

11
hansantizor:eu::eug2:•

Wtf happens to clg when they play TSM. It's like the org itself has ptsd and shuts down every time lmfao

11
Kotetsu534:nagg:•

I like how Zirene kept shitting on Optic's attempts to backdoor... and then they win through a backdoor.

10
Ajp_iii•

that last one wasnt really a backdoor though it was just splitpushing because they couldnt fight around elder and to force 100t off of elder. it ended up as a backdoor because 100t thought it was smart to start elder.

1
SirFumeArtorias:nac9::ahri:•

Need to say, while we're definitely looking vulnerable at some points, we're also very decisive when it comes furthering the lead, and ending the game

10
Anthonysan•

C9 are basically TL...maybe a little more varied in playstyle. Their early game is inconsistent and they tend to win half their games by silly mistakes from other team. The difference is they've shown they can perform on an international level, so they get a little more leeway.

3†
PM_ME_BAKAYOKO_PICS•

Nah, the difference in NA at least is that TL is still very superior in terms of individual quality.

They both have a shakey early game, but C9 relies a lot more on making the right calls after an enemy mistake while TL seems to just win games because of rough individual quality.

1†
control_09•

Yeah c9 know how to close out games, other teams not so much.

2
TimMeijer:morgana: :rugmb:•

TSM has all 15 Turret Plates at 12 and a half minutes. CLG has fucking zero. I've only seen that during SKT - JAG in the Kespa Cup.

10
YCitizenSnipsY:ahri:•

What a stomp. TSM with the cleanest game in NA this split.

10
x3nics:natsm::euorigen:•

clg will never beat tsm ever again lmfao

Lol ur right

how do I delete someone elses team?

Ajp_iii•

AM I WATCHING A 1-3-1 IN NA WITH 3 WAVES CRASHING AT THE SAME TIME WTF

9
TheGloriousEv0lution:cnwe:•

Even last year Optic was always really good at splitpushing and making decisive calls

2
Ajp_iii•

why is it only optic that does this. it makes no sense with a rookie coach and rookie players.

2
Roseking:natsm:•

I swear to god. CG is going to sneak there way into playoffs and knock TSM out again.

I have had this nightmare.

9
TimMeijer:morgana: :rugmb:•

"So, Cloud 9, what is your win condition?"

"Ban Riven and then wait for Wildturtle to turn his brain off and dash into a Cassiopeia and Galio. Twice."

9
Anthonysan•

If Turtle was a better player, this is an easy game for FLY. Shame because Pobelter is playing well.

9
Zeffic•

This game is actually kinda refreshing so far after the last couple games today lmao

Reclaimer879•

Honestly can't stand watching NA right now. I always hated the whole arguement of which region is more fun to watch or which if more competitive. But so far this Season I am just so disappointed. TL is relatively clean, but so incredibly boring.

I would rather watch Vitality, SO4, Origen, G2, etc. It isn't about me liking the players more, but the matches are far more enjoyable.

-1
Ajp_iii•

Watching vitality isnt fun if you want clean games. vitality does more na stuff than na.
