Here's this week's 10 thoughts by @meanmisterkien!

Two weeks down. Seven to go. At this point, most fan bases still hold out some shred of hope for their team's chances to go to playoffs. The next couple of weeks will paint a clearer picture of where teams stands.

You Riot officials should know me by now with how much I talk about stats and such, I love the direction that you guys are taking the LCS with great articles like 10 Thoughts, the Dive and the constant upgrading on working on the "stats" part of League.
Keep up the good work Kien and Riot

The real question is whether they'll allow guest articles in the near future, as while people like me wouldn't want to do this as a full time job (my current one is already too exausting, especially with these new 55hr weeks), doing occasional stuff could not only give the lcs thing a more community-driven vibe but also potentially spark more discussion out of these things.

I was thinking the same thing to weed out potential workers to be apart of the LCS etc maybe in the near future or just help have more people who say don't play the game but love the LCS. During 2016 I was even talking about occasional fan call ins to say the Dive or the LCS studio for the casters to listen ( pre recorded so it's not fans saying stupid stuff like " F- the N$$$$ etc etc" so the fans can chirp in and get some love while getting true blue responses from those in the scene. I personally can't do articles for Riot because my grammar sucks the big one, so I tend to just stick with my causal 1-2 posts here as a way to get some attention(not wanting attention but getting some renown and support from the community doesn't hurt either).

"All their Spring Split tears have finally upgraded into Seraph's Embrace"

This is GOLDEN

Would you say these "GOLDEN" puns are the "GLUE" that holds the article together? [slayer-jinx-wink]

You put the AWE in AWESOME! Well Played!

I think a meta that allows aphro to contribute heavily to play making helps CLG's shot calling allot. They seems more willing to trust calls and more willing to make plays when aphro has a go button.

Really surprised with CLG showing recently. Expected them to be middle of the pack.

We should talk about that photo.

CLG WIN

A Paltry reminder to those who watch C9, stink it up at the beginning just to hustle out the other would-be-contenders for a shot at worlds. Even though I do like what Aphromoo is doing with CLG

Time to see what NV can really do. They've had some up and down past couple of weeks. Always one tough opponent and one easy one. This week they have 2 tough ones. TSM and EF will be the test bearers for them.

Great read! I appreciate the insight.

You forgot to mention in your list of former MVP's struggling... Meteos is on P1 with Arrow...

DomermacJun 15, 20171 votes

Nailed that Durant line. Nice.

If it weren't so early, I'd drink every time a player says "like" out of context, I'll be drunk by the end of the intro.

SwordOfRomeJun 17, 20171 votes

Anyone else wondering if C9 could have won the Spring Split Final if they still had Meteos??

With Aphro getting to be on the playmakers he excels so much at and a more technically proficient jungler who just needed some firm leadership to calm his temper, CLG is going all the way to Worlds.
