League Of Legends LXVII: "MY PICK'EMS!"
honorary title: League of Legends LXVII: "Ivern'd It"
Welcome! You can sign up for League of Legends here. It's a free MOBA based on Defense of the Ancients.
If it sounds like we're speaking a foreign language in here, the glossary of LoL terms can help you with that.
We maintain lists of players, sorted by server. If you are not on these lists and would like to be, please post in the thread with the following information in bold: Server (if you don't know it, it's likely the region you're in, but it's worth checking anyway), your Forum Name, and your Summoner Name. It's also a good idea to go ahead and send me a PM with such information to ensure I see it.
If no reply's been made about adding you after a day or two, first check the lists to see if you've been added. If not, feel free to post again or PM me. Any incorrectly formatted posts may be overlooked.

Quote:
(personally, I still prefer "NA Thread Title" out of my three contributions, because threads are slower and it has better staying power over "Ivern'd It" for just one champion release, or "MY PICK'EMS!" for just Worlds)
Well.. what a surprise.. noone from anywhere else in the world liked that suggestion? :smalltongue:
Re: League Of Legends LXVII: "MY PICK'EMS!"
I was really hoping that we'd use the explosion one.
But alas...
I should request that C9 be my pallbearers, so even in death they can let me down one more time.
Re: League Of Legends LXVII: "MY PICK'EMS!"
Speaking of Pick'ems, unfortunately it seems that Carter and I have the exact same picks for the rest of the tournament. So no matter what happens, I won't be able to overtake him. :smallmad:
Re: League Of Legends LXVII: "MY PICK'EMS!"
I'm pretty sure most people have what I have or something very similar. The only real differences I saw were some people had ANX win over H2k and some had Rox going to finals instead of SKT and then winning over Samsung.
Re: League Of Legends LXVII: "MY PICK'EMS!"
I cynically put C9 to win not because I thought they were going to beat SSG, but because that would have let me win the pick em group. I HAD FAITH!!! And regardless of who wins H2K vs ANX I think they would have been steamrolled by either C9 or SSG.
Anyway, Day 2 of the Quarters!
Spoiler: RNG vs SKT Game 1
Show
Suprising win by RNG, I thought SKT made a couple pretty questionable calls. They gave up a free dragon where RNG was nowhere near being able to contest, then at the end they started up a 2 man Baron and had a really disjointed commitment to a teamfight that let RNG just clean them up and win the game. Bengi sat alone on Baron for a REALLY long time before he finally went over the wall, and the rest of the team was just kind of strung out and not coordinated.
It just felt like SKT was off their game. We'll see if they can pull it back together and take the series.

Well that's disappointing. Not really surprising, but disappointing. All of my hopes and dreams are on ANX Luna now.

Similar reasoning led me to take FNC as the champions last year. It cost me about ten positions in the final group standings :smallfrown:

Convincing win by SKT, they seem to have adjusted accordingly.
Based on this game I think SKT is going to take the series.

They let Faker have Syndra. Calling this one for SKT right now.

Called it. Faker turned 2 great teamfights on Syndra. Come on. You can't let Faker have Syndra.
Holy crap though Duke was on a freaking RAMPAGE in that top lane. He picked up 3 different solo kills that I saw. Poor MLXG. He was so tilted on that last chase.

Oh gawd. I literally busted in laught when Duke approached and the casters were like: run! here it comes! And MLXG just Safeguard'ed away from the gnar.
That was pure tilt.
Also, SKT's just besting RNG from game 2+. It's probably a 3-1 for SKT.
Re: League Of Legends LXVII: "MY PICK'EMS!"
Spoiler: RNG vs SKT Game 4
Show
The gold was kind of close for a lot of the game but RNG was just totally outmatched. SKT had better rotations, better control, better everything.
Re: League Of Legends LXVII: "MY PICK'EMS!"
This is why the tournaments im generally hyped about is less worlds, and more the ones about who are going to worlds. There are generally a lot more tension in those, unlike here where Koreans steamroll everything.
Re: League Of Legends LXVII: "MY PICK'EMS!"
I just want to remind everyone to please keep spoilers in spoiler tags for at least a few days after a game.
Re: League Of Legends LXVII: "MY PICK'EMS!"
The Koreans steamroll everything is a comment that mainly comes from having seen the previous worlds, this years i have not really bothered.
Re: League Of Legends LXVII: "MY PICK'EMS!"
Spoiler: SKT vs RNG
Show
Well that was an interesting series. The first game as mentioned above seemed off for SKT. RNG continued to seem sloppy though. Game 2 SKT had a gold lead before laning started and never let it go. Blank on zac was new, super solid performance though. Wolf continued to impress me on zyra. Game 3 featured Faker on syndra and Duke on gnar. Duke woke up this game and went off. It was like the Najin days again. Game 4 was more of the same. Duke continued to impress. Blank overall had a great series, one of his best since his start on SKT.

Day 3 of quarters people!
Spoiler: Champion select EDG vs ROX Game 1
Show
I think I'm giving this one to ROX based on the draft. I feel like too much of EDG's late game is on that Ryze, who will have a lot of trouble getting forward through a Sol with Rylai and a Zyra.
Spoiler: Post EDG vs Rox Game 1
Show
Yep, ROX took it without any big issues. EDG just didn't have any way to start a team fight other than blowing the Rumble ult, they just had no pick ability when they got behind.
I feel like EDG can definitely give this series a run, though, if they re-orient and adjust.
Spoiler: Champ Select EDG vs ROX Game 2
Show
I dunno about Rox's lineup here. Without a power threat in the top lane they're basically banking 100% on that Caitlyn late game, while EDG has completely changed for a hard engage comp.
Think this one is probably going to go to EDG.
Spoiler: Post EDG vs Rox Game 2
Show
Well, well I'm wrong I'm wrong. Rox got ahead and twisted the knife.
Spoiler: EDG vs Rox Game 3
Show
EDG not going down without a fight. Deft was finally able to get going, and I feel like Smeb was kind of tilting - he had so many deaths on Fiora.
Spoiler: EDG vs Rox Game 4
Show
Pretty convincing win by ROX. EDG just couldn't get a good fight and were getting caught out left and right.
Re: League Of Legends LXVII: "MY PICK'EMS!"
So, after a series of "the film I'm working on is suddenly going into production around that time" and "I couldn't get the university to respond to the time away request"...
I have an extra ticket for League semi-finals AND an extra paid for bed / hotel room about a block away from MSG.
Anyone here able and want to go?

Wow, what an opportunity! I think it's super cool of you to put that out here. Tragically, Uni means I can't go.

Wanting, yes. I'm on the other side of a continent though, sadly.

Holy **** I was expecting H2K to win, but I wasn't expecting them to look this good doing it.
They are crushing the Russian team.

I was hoping ANX would win, expecting H2K, but also expected a more even match (maybe at least 3-1).

get rekt :smallamused:
So right now I'm standing alone behind Carter. Which is where I'll stay, unfortunately, since we both have the same picks.
That being the case, I'm definitely hoping for an H2K upset against SSG, even though I picked SSG to win, so we can have a western team in finals instead of the KR vs. KR regional matchup.

To be fair, several people could still beat me. 3-4 people are within 20 points of me and have Rox beating SKT, which would let them pass me without any issue.

Right. There's still the possibility that someone could overtake both of us. But I in particular am incapable of overtaking you, so I'm rooting against myself for an H2K in finals now. :smalltongue:

Spoiler: H2K v ANX
Show
It's a shame that ANX gave up such a disastrous double kill right at the beginning of game one. It really felt like that tilted them and their mindset went into a tailspin that I'm not sure they ever recovered from. By the end of the match, they were starting to make a couple of nice plays, but it was just way too late. Recovering a bad mindset can be tough, and it's one of the things that can separate the wildcard teams that don't have quite the same discipline and support staff.
That said, congrats are still in order for ANX on making it out of groups. That alone was way more than expected, and I'm still a fan of what I've seen of them in interviews.

I think most people outside Korea is hoping for something besides a Korea vs Korea final, even if it sounds rather unlikely. But i guess it at least means we would get a decent finale with a bit of tension.

I know I sure am bummed. The whole point of having a "worlds" feels lost each time it comes down to Korea vs Korea, or China vs Taiwan.
It's like that Jim Gaffigan joke:

ADC ZHONYAS!
That might be exaggerating a little. However, there is an item coming out in 2017 that will stop those pesky Zed ults and Karthus ults. Kind of.
I like the assassin changes they are making, especially Talon's e. I'm going to have a lot of fun with that one.
