no, cloud 9 gave up 3 kills at level 1 and lost super hard, not really surprising since any competent team should be able to snowball a 1k gold+xp advantage at level 1
C9 continues to impress after another early misstep (this time against CLG). Not many teams will come back from a 3/0 Doublelift Trist who is also ahead 30-40 cs.

plenty of teams can and do come back from doublelift getting an early advantage, all he does is farm all day and doesnt use his advantages to actually secure objectives
Woop, so glad to see my favorite team finally start to get some of the respect they deserve. Clinched bye and spot in s4, so happy. Also, Dig looks pretty bad.

A 3/0 and cs advantage (also didn't mention Chauster didn't die for these kills either)? Idk about that. And recently Dlift has been changing that.

yeah like that fight they just fought vs VES where he jumped in and chased directly into eating a shen taunt to the face and getting bursted
lol I'm not saying he's the best ADC NA or anything but just that he isn't doing the "farm and ignore the rest of my team" thing as much anymore. Your own example is actually supporting my point.
Doublelift probably is the best ADC NA. Mechanically he is world class, but his sometimes his decision making is very selfish. For long time he has been the best player on his team, and he feels like he has to carry the game by getting as much farm as possible, even at the cost of objectives. Also, he is so skilled that he can simply outplay virtually every other player 1v1 in North America. However, that often leads to overconfidence in his positioning.
It means that this is the last of week of the "regular season," (similar to how pro sports have regular seasons). Starting next week (I think?) is what amounts to the playoffs. There are regional tournaments, all leading up to the World Championships in LA.
