What do you guys think about the draft? I personally thought it was hot garbage, but does anyone see the logic behind it?

The logic was, they snowball the bot lane before Galio and KoG can come online.

They could have snowballed but they made a terrible dive bot lane with 4v2. This lost them a FB tower.

Then c9 try to rotate with Cait but I hunk they were shocked that a Galio can wave clear before the turret can get him. That lost them another tower and dragon

I think Jensen assumed that’s galio would go more AP/MR so there would be an opportunity to kill him but the guy went full tank

All in all, C9 lost at draft. They were fighting the time. They needed to snowball bot by 10 minutes. They didn’t

If they had, the game would have been much closer.

It was certainly questionable, and probably the reason they lost. C9 played very well with what they were given, but they weren't given much, and WE was given more.

Frankly there isn't much. This felt like a mental lapse but at the same time expectation of some Game 5 shock pick. Either that or they were tunneling too hard to shut down 957 with the confidence that the rest of the map could play to their advantages. Unfortunately I have to shoot more to the lapse of attention, especially from the responding picks. However I kind of feel C9 cornered themselves come their 2nd rotation. They don't pick Lulu, bye bye Lulu and bye bye safest strategy from that point. The make or break was absolutely the 2nd rotation Galio which could have been picked up along with Kog, effectively forcing Mystic on a different strategy or Caitlyn.
