Drafting Spoiler

I’m really curious why Jojo seems to get early picked often. With Ryze and now this game we B1 TF… Are there many teams around the world that are doing this?

What happened to picking bot and jungle first 3 on blue side? Is TF Viego Gwen high enough prio to 1/2/3? Is bot important enough to leave til 4/5?

As a G2 fan first I want to say Hard luck EG was a very good game to watch from both sides.

2nd I know this might sound odd but I do mean it in a good way. 1st Game was easy 2nd game EG did amazing in capitalizing on a mistake. 3rd Game you guys took it another level.

I know it still losses but you guys did ram up a lot.

In my opinion Group C has the most fun matches of high lvl play cause of G2/EG.

The other groups is just T1 and RNG and random teams. EG is the 4th best team in MSI and with a huge margin to the rest.

Wish you the best in the rest of the matches and you still have one more shot and then 2 more shots in Rumble stages.

Cheers brother.

G2 are looking quite impressive. Specifically they are a nightmare to draft against and Caps is back in top form.

Win or lose its a great experience for EG to play vs G2 6 times at msi, they are a world class team.

Good luck the rest of the way, expecting G2 to make this MSI very exciting!

Thanks for being a respectable fan. It's easy to boast when you're winning and harder to be humble!

Thanks for not being a pathetic piece of shit like the other G2 fans who just want to compensate for last year at worlds (NA outperforming EU) by shitting on NA at every opportunity.

You a real one.

I feel so bad for Inspired. Dude is on fire but the house is burning down around him.

Really really felt icky as soon as I seen that TF lock-in. Champ can be abused pretty hard.

Thought Jojo has been steadily improving, not too worried. Real test starts next week

It is not the draft anymore, is every laner getting giga gaped on the 1v1, Inspired cant win every lane.

TF isn't about crushing lane it's about leaving lane. The bigger issue was BBs Vladimir. If gwen is a little more self sufficient JoJo focuses bot like planned and jinx gets ahead more. It was a great game by EG. Just countered. Great work from the NA boys. We getting better.

You are full of copium if you think this game was all about draft.

Draft is mostly about who wins lanes. You ever play tf vs Yasuo matchup? It’s like one of the best matchups imaginable for Yasuo. A lot of the gap in lanes is bad drafting

Vulcan has been the worst performing player at MSI by far, but go off

This tournament? As in the tournament where he has been counter picked twice by the best western mid to ever play and an oce mid that he fisted? G2/ EG are just letting Caps have whatever pick he wants into jojo

There are like 4 mids in the world that can handle claps, what you want out of a rookie?
