So I'll get in here early and use this as an opportunity for anyone to ask me questions about the list. I will comment on the two things most people are probably curious about.

1. Is Misfits 10? And why are they D tier? - No, they're not 10, but I did put them low down. The list isn't ordered from 1-10, they just happened to get placed like that. I put them in D Tier because I believe they have 5 players that struggle to agree on how to play the game. We saw them attempt multiple styles during spring and the only one that worked was getting bot lane ahead and snowballing, and even that wasn't reliable. While they've made internal changes, I can't assume that they've all suddenly found alignment and agreement on how to succeed as a team in what has only been 2 months with no consistent scrim practice. I also don't think the current meta suits them, which leads me to the next question.

2. Why is VIT above FNC and SPY? - Based on what we saw at MSI, playing ...

Holy Fiddlesticks Poggers. EU is too insane.

Already did that one, it's called 'Lane Priority'. Go check it out on youtube :)

I was at MSI so Ender helped out with the most recent episode. It's awesome! Great showcase of how to split push along with how good G2 are at it! Let us know what lessons you'd like to have in the future!

so good :o

-.-

Can confirm

I have absolutely no bias against Jankos. He killed himself killing a ward against a Vel'koz at worlds last year and when he flashed under a tower at level 4, yeah I was worried that it was going to be a repeat of that, but he's had a great tournament. He played extremely well around Caps today and at the same time he made a lot of big mistakes alongside Caps. Idk where this perception comes from but Jankos is great.

Technically correct

Really enjoyed listening to Papa's take on SKT and MSI. Felt like he talked more about just who the players were and sintead looked at how they play and their ability to adapt.

He's also right that every analyst can make a case for their region and that's what makes this tournament so exciting! G2 will crush them all :DDD

So what you actually took was one of the takeaway points at the end of my talk with Drakos and Frosk. While arguably it could've been worded better, the main point I wanted to make was that I see a lot of comments putting SKT on a pedestal alongside the likes of IG, which I don't think they deserve based on their recent play, and I also see a number of comments believing G2 don't stand a chance against IG and SKT, which I strongly disagree with and believe they should be rated higher. If we were to use numbers out of 5, I would put IG at a 4 and SKT + G2 at a 3, some fans seem to put SKT at 4 and G2 at a 2. This was the logic I was attempting to challenge. Hopefully this makes more sense. (The numbers are arbitrary, please don't infer anything from them xD)

With regards to the matchup, which I will link ...

Pretty sure that's not what I said fam

I think you underestimate how individually strong G2 is. Even assuming the meta forces G2 to become more "standard" I think they've demonstrated they can play that style too.

They arguably have the best players in each role from Europe remember.

Personally not a fan of this argument. I feel if anything, G2 have proved that they bend the meta to them, and not the other way around.

Something I felt veyr strongly about this split was that Perkz could bring more to the table than just ADs. The added flexibility he adds to G2s draft by simply being on the roster is something few teams in the world can compete it.

As an AD carry player, there are better in Europe, but as a botlaner, he's number 1 for me!

Woah hang on a second..

:O

Hi there!

To give some context. When a team or player does something that's a little unfamiliar given the context of the meta, I often question my own knowledge and I wonder if I missed something. Therefore, I wondered if I missed somewhere in old notes that the top resistances were removed. I had to focus on the game so I pinged production to see if they can confirm. I got a ping back saying that the resistances were the same, but they missed the small buff that top and mid got. These small mistakes do happen and while we do try our best to give the most accurate information, in high pressure situations it happens.

Thanks for understanding! My production team is really awesome :)

Thank you so much! Next time I will obliterate him alone :)

Drakos does a lot of the writing and creation, I try to help out with the ideation, a couple of lines and I help with flow once we have a solid structure. I was actually really happy to be involved more so with the writing and creation! Hopefully as I gain more experience, I can help Drakos out more :D
