The fact that CLG is tied for first is embarassing to this region

Just watched the highlights of this game, and honestly couldn't believe how atrocious this team is, the amount of bronze mistakes they made... I will use champion names for this post because to me, this is just another pub game played by pub players.

0:17 Eve tries to avoid getting stunned and decides walking into turret range is a smart idea. Even if she avoided the stun, it's not worth it to take a tower shot at level 1 for that. Eve was not in any danger, yet made a bronze play and spilled first blood. Red team did not even have anything to gain at that point, so why would Eve even walk over there in the first place?...

1:49 TL's turn for a bronze play, sion ults into 5 champions and a tower, when he and his team were perfectly safe and able to run from the situation. The type of nonsense you see in bronze.

2:11 The obvious bronze tower dive. It was a situation where they just got a 2 for 0, and got greedy for more, as you would expect from a pub team. What makes this a horrendous play was that it was a high risk, low reward situation. Best case they kill azir and lose nobody, worst case they all die for nothing, which is what happened. The fact that they went for this nonsense play displays a severe lack of understanding about the game.

2:13 Bard takes 3 tower shots and dies to the turret. If you watch closely on the mini map (the interface blocks the play), Bard was set to get out of turret range after the second shot, but TURNED AROUND to let the turret finish him off, and even BURNED HIS FLASH afterwards for no reason. This is how bronze players dive.

The fact that is a game between two of the best teams in the region, and this many terrible plays happened is just sad.

NA LCS will soon be equivalent to bronze sub-wars, where people just watch it to laugh at the atrocious play.

Theyre at the top because they earned that spot. But the thing with CLG is every split they start out strong and dominant, but then just suddenly burn out and start playing horribly for whatever reason. It's been going on for the last 3-4 years. They dominate the first half of the split, then eat sh_t for the rest of it lol.

Get hired by a pro team, go to Worlds, and then I might actually consider your statement.

2:13 Bard does not die to a tower shot he dies to minions after taking too many tower shots.

clg is known for execution heavy team comps in high pressure games. not a good combo, which leads to failure, they need to stop experimenting and go with what works. For example, this pick comp is so goddam risky, why the hell would they go it?
