That immortals comp was perfect
Their comps are just too good
Their comps are just too good
ya it was awesome the soraka heals the adc and then nidalee heals soraka its just too much heals
Which sadly proves the point that most of Fnatic's power came from the Korean duo. When Huni tilted at worlds all Fnatic's gameplay collapsed. Now the same history in NA. Tip for other teams: just tilt the toplaner.
It proves that what makes a good team is synergy, being on the same page and enjoying the game together. In Fnatic last year Reignover was called out for being the weakest player of the team, and huni a very skilled but very soloqueue, easily tilted player. They were made great players in a great team because they had the same idea of the game and what they wanted to do under Yellowstar's lead.
If you look at IMT you can see that they take pleasure in playing together. TSM on the other side, they dont even look at each other at the end of the game. Same goes with H2k this split, dominating EU scene with not much star players in the roster, just players that work really well together.
I guess it shows the importance of the team's captain and the coach, who are both supposed to achieve this synergy and positive atmosphere for their team.
Agreed completely. And FNC failed at worlds because they continued to build comps around Huni when they were going up against Smeb ffs. If you're FNC, you put Huni on Gnar or some shit and put all you're eggs in the Febiven basket. Or even in the Rekkles basket. But idk what you think Huni is going to do against a monster like Smeb.
Forgiven is the only star player H2K needs ;D
Seriously though, they really look like a cohesive unit. Forgiven's aggressive AF, so are Jankos/Vander, and Odoamne, along with Selfie/Ryu, are really solid pieces to fall back on should a play go tits up.
What was it?

I wouldn't call it perfect. Zion threw it a bit with that dive. Otherwise they could have just man moded into them since they had no front line.
I love the team in general though. I feel like Adrian compliments the over aggression of Turtle, Huni and Reignover with champions like Janna and Soraka.

To be honest, CLG thrw twice that game, the first 1 when they just didn't go away after they had that 3 for 1 fight on bot lane and allowed IMT to pick up some kills to not completely be screwed after that fight, and then with the Darshan dive you mentioned
That game was a slow paced clownfiesta for the first 20 minutes, till the point aprho got caught in a very stupid way near baron, and from that point on IMT executed perfectly for the rest of the game
Tbh, no team has yet put togeter a game played well from the start to the finish against IMT and this wasn't only due to obvious IMT strength, IMT is doing by far the least mistakes and that's why they are actually so ahead in NA
Legit that comp was cancer AF but I have never seen a team with so much synergy. I'm a C9 fan first but I fully acknowledge they are the best NA team at the moment and look even better than Fnatic from last season. That part is only opinion of course.
I think they are closing games easier than when the duo was with fnc but I think that's the meta not so much the team, I've always loved turtle and prefer him to most just like how I love Niels (now Sven) on origin there both monsters when unleashed.
As for synergy I think turtle syncs with huni and reignover more than reckless so I agree the team does look better, Adrian seems to be supporting there style of aggression.
I want go see them on the international stage though see how they stack up as EU right now look more tactful and thoughtful where IMT is full out aggression which will fail at some point be it EU or Korea or China or wherever I want to see them play against people on their level, NrG I think is pretty close and liquid are looking like monsters too...
Second half of the split will be very interesting I feel

Definitely and I'm actually hoping Origin gets it together because I am a POE fan as well as Sven.
But yes there is definitely enough aggression being matched with WT RO and Huni that I think is important to have. Pobelter and Adrian having a more controlled style is a perfect blend though because they reign them in just enough to not let it go full insane but liberate them enough to just run away with games.
I think a lot of the success from Immortals comes from the fact that they just seem so comfortable playing together. Where the other teams are going way and beyond to find the perfect comp and exploit the meta, Immortals are going with comfort picks, like Zed and Soraka. Immortals are trying to fit the playstyle to the players on the team, rather than how most other teams try to fit the players into the current meta and its encompassing playstyle.
