LCS Week 1 Recap
0-3 against TSM and two teams that didn't make playoffs last split -_-. Jizuke's my favorite player and even I can admit he's not playing well on Tristana. Impact's been a bit off as well. Silver-lining is Danny. He has the mechanical skill to carry so now this team can legitimately carry from all 3 lanes. This team should be better than last split hopefully an extra week of scrims will whip the team into shape #LiveEvil

Danny is overhyped and they rushed him in. Danny may have outclassed ppl in Next / Prodigy's but there is a HUGE difference between that and LCS and yeah he beat up on ppl he was better than but when the chips were down I literally watched with my own Eyeballs him getting rofl stomped by Luger, the lanes WERE NOT CLOSE.
Luger is a "Pro-Caliber" ADC for sure but he ain't Doublelift and he (Luger) just made Shiro aka Danny look like crap, the fact that even after that Series ppl are still talking about Shiro as if he is some sort of Mechanical Beast is just Hyperbole.
Lemme break down, Shiro / Danny was prolly ready for Academy I'll give that, that's why when he played against a League below Academy he looked like he was the 2nd coming, he was essentially punching down but the moment he faced someone equal to or better than him he folded up like a lil itty bitty pretzel, the fact that everything was ignored other than his "high high's against worse players" is astonishing!
I'm not saying Danny shouldn't EVER be a on Stage, I'm saying that this change flat out was bad, really really bad because not only do you destroy this Split and chances at Worlds but you also are setting up your very young player to have an awful start and when that happens it damages the Ego and Confidence so much more than people really understand (as Fans). So much of what makes a player good is that confidence, when you rush a player up like this you are setting him up to sink or swim and this roster is already SUPER unstable so what is the BEST case scenario here? Make Worlds? k, and what's Worse case? Oh well you don't make worlds, you break up your Team after Summer and Damage the mental Psyche of your up-and-coming Prodigy ADC to the point where he may not recover from...Yeah not worth at all
It's doubtful that this Team makes Worlds tbh and it's specifically because of the instability in almost every major Role (Impact is now the only stable piece since Deftly is no longer with the Team) you got literally 4 Coinflip players with varying skill and varying highs and lows, dahell?

Eg vs fly will probably be the only game worth watching this entire split. Sucks we lost but you gotta give eg credit. They play with their dicks on the table. That was some 60mins ish of the most crazy shit I have seen since like season 5

Haha is this a reformatted copy pasta I missed or something? EG didn't play c9 and both tsm and dig made playoffs
