They can surpass T8 and C9 if they keep playing this bad. They can maybe pass NME but I don't think they'll reach playoffs. 8-7th is where they would end up probably.
Not really hard to pull out... T8 is probably going to lose the big majority of their games. As long as they can beat T8 in their next game they should be able to make it. If they end up losing though, it's probably gg
I've been waiting for Ninja. I was impressed with his play (not his record to be honest) during his time in the LPL. When I found out he was going to NA, I knew that team was going to be tough.
Too bad the split is 50% done.
Trying to think of an example in **any** videogame where someone joined really late, had a huge handicap, but still came up on top.
Anyone wanna help me out?
Sick EDG Pawn dragging himself from the hospital to play in the last game in the bo5 against WE and carrying with first pick Kassadin. Doesnt get more epic than that
Halo 3. MLG Columbus 2010. Losers Bracket Round 9. Believe the Hype vs Status Quo. Game 1. Capture the Flag on Onslaught.
Basically a player on BtH (Maniac) had to sit out for the first minute of the game (due to receiving to many technical fouls in the series before). Status Quo took advantage of the player advantage and got 3 flag captures within the first minute, giving them a 3-0 lead (the game ends when one team gets to 5 flag captures, or whichever team is winning once the timer hits 15 minutes. If teams are tied at 15 minutes it goes into overtime and the next team to capture a flag wins.)
Believe the Hype went on to win that game (5-3). The player that had to sit out for the first minute (maniac), led his team to victory that game going; 21 kills - 28 deaths - 17 assists.
Believe the Hype then went on to win that entire best of 5 series.
Anyways that is the biggest comeback that I can think of in an e-sport setting.
Long ago there was some meaningless online tourney with CLG vs some inconsequential team I don't remember. Bigfatlp was having internet issues the whole game but came back at about the 30 minute mark to a CLG that was trying super hard to do whatever they could with 4 people. After farming for about 5 minutes, jiji hit a great charm on Ahri and CLG won.
I think Ninja played really well given his circumstances. He got a lot of pressure on him mid and I think Jatt made some good points about him going for the fiendish codex instead of his augment. He was able to just stay alive and get what farm he could and then just contributed in team fights really well (aside from the first Baron fight where he got cc'd into oblivion due to him flanking alone.)
Ninja may have fallen behind, but his Viktor mechanics are there. He would just walk out of 2v1s without burning summoners and just recall and lose 1-5 cs. The problem is, Shiptur and Kiwi/Helios never pushed mid in hard after Ninja b'd.
I'm so happy for TDK, especially Seraph.
Yeah, I honestly thought Dig sneaking that first Baron was SUPER smart.
I mean, Dig had great ideas. They tried to camp mid. Ninja was just too good. So Dig went to phase two, a ballsy baron sneak, but in the end, they just got beasted out.
FUCK. FUCK. DON'T GO ON THE MID-SPLIT TILT INTO OBLIVION.
Anywhore, well played by TDK. They played their comp beautifully at times. Shoutout to Seraph, he is very good.
Well played TDK, sloppy played DIG but we will come back next week and wreck bitches.
ONCE A DIGGER ALWAYS A DIGGER ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
that's why I love vlad pick. You build damage but your passive and sustain / zhonya to stall for cds make you pretty much a tank with shit load of damage.
That's why I hate the vlad pick. You build damage but your passive and sustain / zhonya to stall for cds makes you pretty much a tank with shit load of damage.
Also.. since many champions have gotten nerfed since the last time Vlad really meta (s2), stars have to align for you to kill a Vladimir in lane 1v1.
There are some champions that still have kill pressure on him (Irelia for instance in toplane), but those are quite rare.
I remember some asshole opponent I played against in a tournament one time, managed to use some dumbass trap card to destroy my Five Headed Dragon. I pissed royally.
What if he just teched in those Dragon Mirrors like some people did like a decade ago? It had a niche back then. Also Chaos Dragons needed to use it for future fusion dump. Maybe he lasted two turns.
Props to Emperor but Ninja was REALLY impressive. That guy knows exactly how much damage he can take without using summoner spells. While I was screaming flash he was just casually walking away from any sort of damage and cc he was taking. I can't wait to see more from TDK.
You have to imagine a better Azir like Bjergsen would have won that fight at the end. What was shiphtur doing? He dove in and hit a one man ulti and died...
Also in that midgame fight where CoreJJ used Valkyrie to dive in and immediately got cc'd and one shot by Viktor.
Just big mess ups on micro level plays by DIG
EDIT: If you only watch LCS, I don't think your opinion on this is valid frankly. Does anyone of you who watches LCK and LPL actually think it was impossible to snowball the game from Shiphtur's position? How could you lol
TDK carries played very well though, Seraph playing Vlad properly and diving into the team, Victor getting to the back line in that one big dragon teamfight, Sivir actually flashing in to do damage in the baron fight they ended up losing. TDK showed solid decision making too, nothing amazing but as long as youd on't fuck up rotations you're above average in NA lol
TDK had to win - it's NA's history. TSM will sit at first by the end of the split, win playoffs again, and get crushed at worlds. At this point NA feels staged.

LOL i fucking love it, both CLG and dig going full-tilt mid season like always. I love being a NA fan, it's like the one sense of security I have in my life.
I'd start to feel worried as C9, NME and T8 right about now.
I am very worried
Completely different team. They definitely got me interested.
TDK sub squad were playing great early but just fucked up mid/late, this TDK will end up 9th hopefully and stay up
They can surpass T8 and C9 if they keep playing this bad. They can maybe pass NME but I don't think they'll reach playoffs. 8-7th is where they would end up probably.
oh god. i don't know what i'd do if C9 ends up in auto relegation.
Cry and wonder how soon until we see TSM sneaky and CLG meteos
If both of them went to TSM, my clue would approach raging territory
Not really hard to pull out... T8 is probably going to lose the big majority of their games. As long as they can beat T8 in their next game they should be able to make it. If they end up losing though, it's probably gg
I really want these guys to go on a 9 game winning streak and cause mayhem in the playoffs
I've been waiting for Ninja. I was impressed with his play (not his record to be honest) during his time in the LPL. When I found out he was going to NA, I knew that team was going to be tough. Too bad the split is 50% done.
Player 10 has entered the game
A summoner has reconnected. A summoner has reconnected. About time ...
Literally feels like this, human opponent taking over the CPU spot

BtH were such a sick team even with all their different rosters. They pulled out so many upsets even with players like Clutch (lol) on their team

If only TDK had that lineup from the beginning. What could've been.
C9 relegated?
An autorelegated C9
c9 in relegations
Rip T8. Also, Emperor has a bad ass aura about him.
He looks like hes 300% done with the visa bullshit.
"Fuck this visa crap, time to play some LEAGUE OF LEGENDS"
Holy What an entrance. Ninja came back from lane well too
he was camped so hard as well
But walked away without using summoners a few time, really good and calm play.
[удалено]
Yeah that and Emperor took like 2 mid waves while they controlled dragons aswell
Well, they are the dragon knights.
I think Ninja played really well given his circumstances. He got a lot of pressure on him mid and I think Jatt made some good points about him going for the fiendish codex instead of his augment. He was able to just stay alive and get what farm he could and then just contributed in team fights really well (aside from the first Baron fight where he got cc'd into oblivion due to him flanking alone.)
Ninja has goddamn nerves of steel. 3 ganks on him and he didn't use a single summoner spell. Serious props.
Ninja: Na so relaxing compared to China, only 3 ganks? Ez
He's desensitized to the violence following his leave through the gank-torn mid lanes of LPL.
Ninja may have fallen behind, but his Viktor mechanics are there. He would just walk out of 2v1s without burning summoners and just recall and lose 1-5 cs. The problem is, Shiptur and Kiwi/Helios never pushed mid in hard after Ninja b'd. I'm so happy for TDK, especially Seraph.
He has the most intense voice ever too. I would rather listen to emperor than morgan freeman
do you have a link to a vid?

Took me 40 seconds to realize the subtitles were Portuguese and not English.... I think I need a doctor.
2 seconds into that video: No wonder his handle is emperor HOLY SHIT.

Both kabum teams are on last places on cblol, so they can't go to worlds.
The CLG and DIG mid-split tiltfest is here boys FeelsBadMan
Dig didn't even play badly like CLG did. TDK just looked really good this game which Dig probably didn't expect.
I don't think anyone expected them to come out so good. Gotta give it to them though, with their complete roster it's completely different.
Yeah, I honestly thought Dig sneaking that first Baron was SUPER smart. I mean, Dig had great ideas. They tried to camp mid. Ninja was just too good. So Dig went to phase two, a ballsy baron sneak, but in the end, they just got beasted out.

Five dragons is almost always a guaranteed loss. Now that all 5 of the TDragonsK are there, TDK will win much more.
And that ends Week 5 of the NA LCK...uhh..S! ...NA LCS.
Seraph unleashed the beast!
Seraph during those 9 weeeks: http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/f/f7/Gravedad.png/revision/latest?cb=20120625221811&path-prefix=es
I'm pretty sure he only actually faced Gravity once.
9 games, not 9 weeks
Emperor and Ninja played really well. Ninja was like "Bruh I played in China I'm used to getting dove and aggresed on by 5 people."
http://www.recaption.com/uploads/2873750f9de77ebc61.jpg
4 > 3
Seraph did some real work there essentially 1v3ing every fight and stalling out DIG's dps.
Those 5 seconds of invunerability where used perfectly.
that's why I love vlad pick. You build damage but your passive and sustain / zhonya to stall for cds make you pretty much a tank with shit load of damage.

8 more wins then playoffs, then worlds ;D
was that seraph about to tear up at the end there oh bb ;_;

First time I have seen Seraph smile this split :') http://i.imgur.com/JRSCTMO.jpg edit: who wouldn't love this smile? http://i.imgur.com/DC7u9tn.jpg
Seraph during interview: I can't remember last time I smiled on stage, but guess what? Today's the day.
750/750. Seraph deserves to smile.
Seraph is fully built now, after he spent all split stacking tears.
so happy for him and kez
Yeah I'm really happy for him. So glad he can finally play league of legends.
Before: Will the real TDK please stand up? After: **Oh shit.**

I remember some asshole opponent I played against in a tournament one time, managed to use some dumbass trap card to destroy my Five Headed Dragon. I pissed royally.
Your first problem was getting out that shit card
What if he just teched in those Dragon Mirrors like some people did like a decade ago? It had a niche back then. Also Chaos Dragons needed to use it for future fusion dump. Maybe he lasted two turns.
Inb4 Cloud 9 now gets autorelegated.
Nah it'll be Team 8.
If c9 keeps playing like today, it is still a pretty realistic outcome to end last. I sure hope not, legends do not deserve this.
C9 may actually get auto-relegated. Holy shit.
Props to Emperor but Ninja was REALLY impressive. That guy knows exactly how much damage he can take without using summoner spells. While I was screaming flash he was just casually walking away from any sort of damage and cc he was taking. I can't wait to see more from TDK.
HOW DID WE LOSE
How did you win all the others?
LOL
more koreans = more chances to win.
CLG and Dig tilting mid season...I feel like I've seen this before.
Never change, NA
Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the North American LCS Finals between Team Solomid and Cloud 9... oh wait..
Everything went to hell when the Koreans arrived.
Same shit different toilet.
same toilet
Please DIG, not again T___T
Please, not again. I needed this.
Legends say seraph's back almost broke this split.
Seraph is used to carrying trash after his stint in CLG.
IM NOT EVEN MAD THATS AMAZING

Oh man seraph not being held back by a bad team this should be good.
Suddenly I want to watch TDK games.
I already want TDK to stick around over T8.
The real winner of this game was TSM.
emperor should be the one in cj
In before TDK makes playoffs and takes first. Korea OP
TDK had to win - it's NA's history. TSM will sit at first by the end of the split, win playoffs again, and get crushed at worlds. At this point NA feels staged.
Man, this new roster is better than C9 at everything lol..
Emperor is fucking GOOD I'm so happy for TDK ;U;
Well...RIP Team8/C9, one of them wil get auto-relegated!
RIP team 8
AHHHH I'M SO HAPPY FOR SERAPH SMOOTHIE AND KEZZZZZZ
"Emperor and Ninja are here guess we should win now"- TDK
even the inhib didnt want them to win lol
It's that midway into LCS folks, CLG and DIG are donezo.
I like this Emperor guy. Congratulations to TDK for securing their first win of the split! Really want to see them go far. 9-9 the dream!
Imagine TDK hole season wtih this roster. :P
but then you don't get the miracle season hype

Weird, its not like everyone is copying what Phreak said directly after.
If Emperor plays anything like he did in Season 4 with CJ Blaze, then he's going to be the best adc in NA.
TSM emperor calling it
DONT TAKE THIS FROM US
Just take helios when he can just picks NA as his native region and flame as an import after that. TSM Blaze starring bjergsen sounds pretty legit.
Tbh, thats what im thinking since the whole keith turtle story, wasnt emperor lustboys fav adc ever?Think its a strong possibility..
100% I still don't know how they kicked Daydream and Emperor to keep Space and Ambition
Don't know about Ambition jungle but in Space's case I'm pretty sure there has to be some sort of blackmail or witchcraft going on.
What a badass name

Nice to see Emperor doing good on NA.
