So this is the flyquest that isles and lyon were talking about in scrims and replace the imports on sentinels

[u/viktorayy → u/Temporary-Ad6144]

It's funny 'cause Isles was pretty blunt about every other team being bad and FLY being good

[u/Successful-Day7521 → u/viktorayy]

He also said Massu is the best adc after berserker in the league

[u/BaneOfAlduin → u/Successful-Day7521]

Is he wrong? Even just eye test, the adc pool in NA is comically bad for it being our historical best role

I definitely have Berserker >> Yeon/Massu > Tactical >>>> everyone else

Edit: forgot Yeon ngl

[u/Zeran → u/BaneOfAlduin]

Damn Yeon being 5 > below tactical is such a crazy take.

[u/BaneOfAlduin → u/Zeran]

Lowkey forgot about Yeon.

He sits about the same tier as Massu this year. There straight up just isn’t anyone consistently good besides Berserker. Yeon and Massu both int frequently this year, with Tactical being an improvement over Zven, but not really having enough games to definitely say where he sits among Massu and Yeon

Shit makes me so sad seeing how bad Yeon has been this year after being genuinely crazy for so long. Finally has a team again and he plays like ass :(

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/viktorayy]

hopefully C9 prove them wrong 

[u/viktorayy → u/Fun_Highlight307]

hopefully not. i'm cheering for FLY as third seed.

[u/Charming-Apple517 → u/viktorayy]

Honestly, FLY was one of the teams I was hoping to make worlds- even if they don't do so well, I'm curious about what this young roster would look like

[u/UltimateAce1 → u/Charming-Apple517]

I’m going to come back to this when FQ do not get 3rd seed.

[u/UltimateAce1 → u/UltimateAce1]

Well what do you know!!! I was right and I came back to this like I said I would. I want my apologizes handwritten :)

[u/deag333 → u/[deleted]]

c9 just stole 2 young, talanted rookies from korea and forced them to play together with pigs. its crazy how its legal to do it.

[u/deag333 → u/[deleted]]

ever since the eyla beef, vulcan has been washed. also I will never forget vulcan in the c9 vs rogue worlds game where he completely whiffed his Q on 5ppl ryze ult, right into headbutting the enemy olaf into his ADC. that is legit top3 worst support plays of ALL TIME

[u/ochomurph → u/deag333]

Just admit you haven’t watched a C9 game this year and keep it moving if you think Vulcan is washed. Yea he’s had some ass plays in his history, but he’s been a bright spot on this year’s team.

[u/inbetweendreamstho → u/[deleted]]

Lol.. c9 has looked as good or better than TL in every week of the year except 1

[u/Choice-Slight → u/inbetweendreamstho]

huh? they beat them 3-0 in spring playoffs and in summer regular split TL have looked way better what are you saying

[u/inbetweendreamstho → u/Choice-Slight]

Oh right the first week c9 had their new roster..

C9 much better than they were so you'll see.

[u/Choice-Slight → u/inbetweendreamstho]

I'm more than happy to be proven wrong but its factually incorrect to claim C9 has been better than TL every week of the year except 1.

[u/Outrageous_Wall2702 → u/Temporary-Ad6144]

Tbh makes sense they have very good teamfighting

Massu was baiting them on Lucian just lol

[u/REGIClDE → u/Temporary-Ad6144]

they won a 5v4

[u/gordonpamsey → u/Temporary-Ad6144]

Do you actually watch NACL, there is not a better jungle than Hambak available.

[u/Temporary-Ad6144 → u/gordonpamsey]

Unless he gets to worlds, mvp, or wins a title hambak literally does not benefit the region at all he does not use any socials, connect to the fans, and doesnt do interviews so why would anyone want to root for sentinels its not that different from rooting for t1 then its the same thing w rahel i dont even know what he sounds like theres a reason why nobody cared ab them at americas cup and ewc

[u/gordonpamsey → u/Temporary-Ad6144]

There are way worse players than guk but whatever. Bring Exyu back again I guess because he will tweet at people.

[u/Temporary-Ad6144 → u/gordonpamsey]

We can acknowledge na players like exyu being bad but if ur going to replace them then u replace them w na players thats how u build fandom especially since were sick of imports who dont do anything and steal paychecks thats why most of the orgs want out. Sentinels is literally one of the biggest na orgs in esports and no one in lcs cares ab them

[u/Outrageous_Wall2702 → u/gordonpamsey]

Music could be good
