How far can CLG fall?



Will we see some Prolly's follies to replace Chuuper's bloopers?

One thing, the tower dive video for the CLG/CoL match doesn't appear to be working (getting a 404 error). Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity

They've both been spotted playing those in scrims, which is why I brought it up as a possibility.



I would enjoy another reset comp from them like they had this week, though.

Here's a fixed link.



It's fixed now in the article. Thanks for the heads up - looks like a typo crept into the URL. It's fixed now in the article. Thanks for the heads up - looks like a typo crept into the URL.

I don't know if that was his call, but Phoenix Udyr popping out the bush to tap Kha'Zix once isn't going to do much. He deserved the shellacking he got afterwards.

fledgeling CLG

Amazing write-up, one little nitpick: fledgling conveys a sense of youth or inexperience. Maybe a better choice would be: slipping, disorganized, reeling, failing, under-performing, etc.



As a CLG fan, this last couple weeks have been very painful. It seems like their early-game decision-making (particularly Chauster's) has been their biggest weakness. Hopefully this week Chauster will stick with his strengths: Lee Sin or Olaf, and show us some strong performances. Watching him in those CLG v. Crs scrims, his J4 has gotten better but still not good enough. I realize Olaf is pretty awful right now, but I could see it surprising people. Olaf still clears fast, and against some of the popular ADs (Varus, Kog, MF) Olaf is still strong. Amazing write-up, one little nitpick: fledgling conveys a sense of youth or inexperience.

I'm not saying you are wrong I'm just saying I'm surprised I'm alone on this. Carrilord has arrived.

I don't really see a problem with it since the player of the week is more like a feature player - someone who stood out during week 8. Yeah his play wasn't perfect but he brought something different to the LCS and got it to work with the help of his team. Laute also played well in those games (might even be better than pr0lly) but he's a LCS veteran.

Well, I dunno. Pr0lly as player of the week is less "omg this guy is so amazing and carrying his team" but more as "this guy is making things interesting, and it's worth talking about him."

To build off on this, pr0lly had the best showing out of any replacements in the recent weeks. The only other player that comes close is Nientonsoh but even with Nien, I feel like pr0lly had fewer mistakes in his three games in LCS. Additionally, coL underwent the biggest improvement/upgrade roster-wise when he replaced Chuuper with pr0lly.



Like sylver said, being our Player of the Week doesn't mean pr0lly played flawlessly. But he is (in our collective eyes) the hottest player after Week 8.

Wait, you're not including Wildturtle right? I friggin' love that kid. His teamfight is decent, he's a huge lane bully and aalways has a smile on his face. I'd like to see a little more variety in his champ pool, but that's kinda w/e given how stale the AD situation is right now. Wait, you're not including Wildturtle right? I friggin' love that kid.

Whittaker Profile Joined January 2013 Australia 1 Post April 11 2013 07:47 GMT #15 While it was nice to see pr0lly bring out new champions to the LCS I find it difficult to give much credence to the Ziggs pick, while ultimately being effective in helping his team to victory I don't think there was anything Ziggs specifically did that a pick such as Lux (Picked by Link) or Karthus wouldn't have also been able to equal or better on. Don't get me wrong, I love Ziggs in ARAM's and think he is a fun champion but I don't think is overall as strong as other picks.

Which is probably another reason why pr0lly deserved MVP, he helped breathe new life back into the team in what some could argue as sub-optimal champs. Also If they can perfect the timing on the Shen/Annie combo then that could be a fiercesome initiation uniquely their own.

I dunno, he made some grievous errors in week 7, which in my opinion cost TSM that game against Dignitas (even though everyone wants to blame Reginald) I dunno, he made some grievous errors in week 7, which in my opinion cost TSM that game against Dignitas (even though everyone wants to blame Reginald)
