Do you think you could explain to me again? I didn't catch all of that.

He's saying Galio is useless if you can't flash into their team and ult.

"Do they have cleanse?" "Does their support have Mikaels?" "Are knock ups present?"

Cleanse is in fact a problem for Galio, so if you see enemy using it - cancel the ultimate early.
Mikael cannot be used if you catch the support as well - if you didn't, then cancel the ultimate early.
This I don't get. Why knock ups only? Stun, silence, polymorph, fear, suppresion, taunt - all of those work just as well with cancelling channel abilities. Anyway, they can't use them while taunted (and even if they do cancel your channel - you still deal full damage) so be vary mostly of those champions that can interrupt you with skills they used prior to your ultimate: E. Passive (this one is a nightmare for Galio). Q. Q. E. Q.

It doesn't mean you shouldn't pick Galio if enemy have one of those - just that you need to be careful when fighting against them (I also might've missed someone).

i think you're missing arrows that point both 'yes' and 'no' to a 'no'

Galio is useful even without Flash if you pick him correctly, and that is into AoE based team that already have an initation. So, if you have a Malphite, Wukong, Amumu or something similar - then pick Galio, as he is an excellent follow up, with one of the most damaging AoE CC abilities in the game. And no, getting hit 8 times during the channel is not hard if you used ultimate properly and caught either a lot of enemy champions at once or enemy minions (yes, they count) or even just used the ultimate with some sort of DoT on yourself (any DoT like Malz E, Swain E or Q, Teemo E, Liandry's Torment, Ignite etc.). Also, it is important to remember that canceling the channel early (doesn't matter if enemies cancelled or you did it yourself) doesn't decrease damage dealt - so if you already got hit 8 times then you will deal full damage no matter what.

Poor Galio, the most underrated champion in the league.
