uhhhh this is weird. Nien has never been a bad player for CLG, so far as I can tell. He's probably the worst guy on the team, but the other players on his team are Really Good, soooooooo IDGI.

His interview with Travis implies that he's got some personal shit going on too, coupled with a general lack of confidence in himself.

TBQH I think this really was Nien's decision. Both Doublelift and Monte seemed very positive towards Nien, and they don't exactly have a replacement lined up. If they wanted to bench Nien I'd think they'd want to have someone at least as good as him ready to join.

Although I could see him potentially rejoining after relegations. He just needs a confidence boost frankly (I love him so I'm biased)

Yeah, I'm getting the same gist out of this interview.

Not having pink wards around the map OP.

So Millenium is one leg back into LCS.

One missplay

Now we get a 5th game.

This series is crazy

KaleiÐoscøpe · Post Post #758 (ISO) » Thu Apr 24, 2014 10:46 am

Overhyped NiP losing against Millenium. AHAHAHAHA

It's finally over jeebus

Wait were you actually talking about games that I care about?

Bella · Post Post #761 (ISO) » Thu Apr 24, 2014 1:02 pm

That series didn't have viewers. It had victims.

GreyICE · Post Post #762 (ISO) » Thu Apr 24, 2014 5:18 pm

Bella wins thread.

Going from watching NiP vs. Millenium to watching Samsung Blue vs. SKT K was... a little bit of a dramatic shift. Game lengths might have been similar, everything else... not so much.

Seriously man

Iecerint · Post Post #764 (ISO) » Thu Apr 24, 2014 6:46 pm

I wasn't being sassy; I just didn't know about the matches.

quadz08 · Post Post #765 (ISO) » Fri Apr 25, 2014 3:40 am

OGN's game 5s are the silliest shit I've ever seen. 3 mirror matches.

BROseidon · Post Post #766 (ISO) » Fri Apr 25, 2014 5:17 am

Shows how much the pros value slight differences in power over comfort picks nowadays.

Siveure DtTrikyp · Post Post #767 (ISO) » Sun Apr 27, 2014 2:17 pm

Oh god.

CLB vs Coast was EPIC.

Although not from the point of view of the guys who put up the "VICTORY" tags at the end.

pickemgenius · Post Post #768 (ISO) » Sun Apr 27, 2014 2:19 pm

yay robertxlee in LCS!

RIP MILES THO

I was wrong about COAST having an LCS level ADC.

Put RXL on CST and CST doesnt sniff relegation. Miles can only hit so many bindings.

RIP CST I liked them as a team, but nice to see COL. Black in.

I don't know if I can stomach THAT MOUSTACHE for an entire summer split ;_; I may just have to not watch NA LCS for that time period.

Also hard to endure: Westrice. If that series is any indication he's gonna get scooped up and deposited on the side of the road by the rest of the LCS.

quadz08 · Post Post #770 (ISO) » Mon Apr 28, 2014 1:15 am

Yeah, Westrice was not impressive. Granted, Zion is rough to lane against, but there are plenty of other good toplaners in NA.

I'm sad to see coast go, but mostly because I feel like Shiphtur is obscenely good and really belongs in the LCS.

Xpecial

Xpecial leaving is interesting. Will be really interesting to see who they tap to replace him.
