Good. Snoopeh should have retired a year ago, he needs to be gone. He was bar none the worst jungler last split.

Yellowpete/Krepo isn't a bad lane, but outside of Coast/XDG I can't see any botlane they could potentially beat without a miracle. And guess what two teams are no longer with us? That they have a hope against Robert/Bubbadub or Vasilii? Nah.

Stop stealing junglers I like to watch

I know that Amazing went to TSM. Did snoopeh/krepo/pete get officially replaced yet or are they still in tryouts?

Mad props to Cop for being so consistent with the amount of change he has to deal with on a regular basis.

Cop was not real good this season sooooo

quadz08 · Post Post #807 (ISO) » Sun May 04, 2014 6:33 am

I mean he was fine I guess, but not special like last season.

Don't worry. Last split might not have been very Xpecial for Cop, but this split will!

Uh...

Snoopeh was statistically the 3rd best jungler last split relative to his team (i.e., if you're gonna ascribe EG's issues to any player, Snoopeh's probably the last one you pick).

Here's the article explaining the numbers behind it:

In the EG games I saw, it seemed like Snoopeh was frequently not on the same page as the rest of his team. Once I remember there was a 4 v 3 or so bot lane at midgame, and he tower dove as Kha'Zix, but no one followed him or reacted, and he just kind of died. It was super salient in part because I'd just watched a C9 game, but it stood out to me.

There's a lot that could be going on there, and it's hard to know w/o listening to their communications what happened. EG definitely had shot-calling issues, and the games where they won were usually ones were Snoopeh could get off a few early ganks for Innox/Pobelter and let those guys mechanics all over the place (seriously, the fact that Pobelter is mechanically as strong as he is while he's been in high school is pretty terrifying). They're shot calling when they're behind is probably the worst in NA, if not in the pro scene in the major regions.

It's sort of bizarre watching it, given that 3/5 members of this team used to play on the team that was known for playing the turbo-long game.

It also looks like we'll only be able to have 5 people in a league

BROseidon · Post Post #819 (ISO) » Wed May 14, 2014 6:57 pm

Okay, screenshot posted by a friend who works at Riot indicates that EU and NA are combined for the purposes of this.

Oman · Post Post #820 (ISO) » Wed May 14, 2014 7:50 pm

So, 10?

Mafiascum leagues will have to happen.

The video said 4, 6, or 8 person league, so idk.

Also I'd be down.

Man, the scoring they have set up isn't position-based. I'm concerned that supports aren't going to be as useful as other positions, but then again, CS is weighted much less heavily than in ours (.01 per CS as opposed to .05 or .07), so it might be fine?

Anywho, definitely good to use this next split. Neat!

In fact, I will go make a new signup thread for summer split now!

xRECKONERx · Post Post #823 (ISO) » Thu May 15, 2014 4:14 am

Yeah see, the scoring issue is weird. I'm not sure they fully thought it through, but hey, it's a beta! And it means me/quadz won't have to calculate results by hand every week >_>

quadz08 · Post Post #824 (ISO) » Sat May 17, 2014 11:09 am

OMG LEAGUE CREATION IS OPEN

I AM MAKING ONE WITH 8 TEAMS RIGHT NOW AND WE WILL FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHO GOES IN IT LATER
