But they are squishy and immobile (for the most part) so they are more fair to fight than assassins.

Because they lack all the attributes that define assassins?

I really like the way Phreak and Kobe casted this game. They treated it like it was game 5 of the world finals between the two best teams in League history. It made it a lot more fun to not have to hear about how dumb/bad everyone was the whole time.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it! We were having a lot of technical difficulties behind the scenes and I was worried my ISP and audio issues would ruin it.

He should also helicopter over walls with his R

Isnt the sample size too small though ? Also does gimgoon have higher gold share than khan ?

Apparently the sample size is large enough to determine that FPX with Khan is worse than with GimGoon so why wouldn't it be large enough for this. And no, GimGoon has lower gold share than Khan.

Is Kuro bad ? KT has won 7 matches in a row if I'm not mistaken. Aiming is a beast though

Kuro also hasn't played anything resembling "weak side" since he was on Tigers, he's actually fairly resource heavy

He is playing at the same level or slightly below. You can't expect Gimgoon to go full on TheShy or Summit mode when he isn't that type of player, and he isn't needed for that.

If you think he's playing at the same level as last year you need either new eyes or new brain

Well, in that case I believe you are able to provide a couple of games when he was not near his level last year.

From the top of my head, I recall a recent game where he was smth like 0 7. It's definitely horrendous, but I don't recall any similar games apart from that one.

I should also note that even at Worlds GimGoon was usually behind in cs early. I haven't noticed any striking difference between him last yer and this year.

GimGoon wasn't good at Worlds until semifinals. Was actually really disappointing after his performances late in the summer split, that was the best I've seen him play.

Lmao ?

Ok, look at Bjergsen now, look at the Afreeca mid laner, look a t Xiaohu last 2 years at internationals.

Weak side mids still exist lmao.

Those aren't weak side mids. They're bad mids.

I think FPX is the team where this is mostly non-relevant, as they can ping pong their picks since Doinb also plays bruisers mid. What will the other teams do ? Ban GP and morde ? then theres kled, Aatrox, Ornn, etc.

It's extremely relevant for getting Khan good matchups!

The guy apparently has a hate boner for Gim.

I've watched quite a lot of FPX this year and I'm not entirely sold on Khan hype yet; definitely need to see more from him.

I love GimGoon. He just hasn't been anywhere near the level of last year.

But like, all those except Pawn still plays lmao.

And they either changed styles or are bad

Low econ mid was a thing i think. Kuro in the Tigers

Was being the key word. Most of the time it was just the excuse for weak midlaners on good teams too tbf

Lol. So far FPX with Gimgoon is much superior than Khan with FPX. I really don't know what else to tell you.

They lost 2 close series against the top 2 teams with the best players from last year underperforming and Khan being the only one playing well. Stop pushing this dumb narrative

What do u think Froggen, Febiven (2015), Kuro,Fly, Pawn (2015+) were ?

2015 isn't relevant to the way the game is played today

FPX with Gimgoon is still better than without. And Gimgoon has been solid all around except the inting of last week.

FPX with GimGoon playing like this is not winning anything this year. With Khan they can win everything.

How is Gim limiting the drating, you blindpick him Morde or GP into anyone and he will be fine. They are hard to towerdive, plays weakside well and scales good. With Khan you need to get him a good matchup.

You have to first rotation picks for GimGoon or he's going to feed. That puts as much of a strain on the draft as getting Khan a good matchup, except the reward is much lower.

Gimgoon fits FPX much better than Khan though, and he is the best low econ toplaner in LPL and maybe the world. 1 bad series does not suddenly mean he gets destroyed in every lane lmao.

He gets destroyed in lane every series...
