TSM's game won't fly against the euro teams. Sad to see Epik go out but Westrice and Dan Dinh played like utter shit all tournament; Dyrus and Doublelift can only carry so hard

Yeah, neither Westrice or Dan Dinh really played all that well. The telecast is pretty bad sure, as I would rather not watch overzealous Riot employees interview pasty foreign nerds who don't understand what they're being asked, which is why I just watch the archived matches; you can fast forward past all the extraneous crap and get right to the actual game.
wow, people on the official boards are going batshit about treeski being on the cast. i guess he needs facial hair so people don't think he is 15 or something.

For 2 minutes TreeEskimo said more sensible things than the Riot commies have said for 3 days.

How many times was Phreak dropped on his head as a babby?
I'm guessing... seven.

I honestly don't know why people hate Phreak (and the rest of the casting) so much. Phreak is fucking around, sure, but it's not like he's just refusing to say anything at all about the game while making terrible jokes. And the other guy seems pretty level.
Westrice probably either gone from team or switched to 2nd team
Dan Dinh moved to solo mid (old school ashe mid)
Dyrus probably given either carry role or focus on tanky dps
Increased specialization/roles
If WR isn't moved or there isn't a big change to the lineup, they're going to do try and just sublimate the individual pubstomper mentality that's kind of holding back team success. No clue if they can take the pubstomp out of the pubstompers though...

He pointed out how Ashe's utility has been huge for teams during the tournament, especially if you need a comeback in the game, he was talking about how most bans have been player targeted, how he's surprised that Gragas is played so much(I guess he also meant that he's surprised that Gragas is so strong, because the Gragas we have seen so far has owned left and right), how Rumble shits on everybody in a solo lane and the 1.5 AP ratio on the flame is retarded and some other stuff I'm forgetting.

I appreciate Phreak's enthusiasm. That said, he's treating this more like commenting a random stream than a tourney. I don't give a shit about what people SHOULD have done somewhere. If I had a nickle for every time phreak missed something important happening because he was busy rambling about how thing should have gone I'd have... about 3 dollars. He also talks too damn fast and he's drowning out his casting partner.
They should really have Tree be commentating on these vids. Hopefully he'll get promoted from intern to e-sportscaster. His videos were the reason I got into watching LoL VODs and commentaries.

Do not believe that the impossible exists. That is why you fail.

I actually like the other 2 guys though.
Like when hes busy explaining how he would have done an Anivia wall after a fight that resulted in no kills, and he has the map on that view of total empty map... while on the mini-map you see an actual team fight going on at baron. And when he does notice it he doesnt even quickly go into it, he has to explain that "I guess I missed a team fight at baron and I'm busy explaining how to make ice walls..."
Ya... I havent watched or played this game for long, but that right there is fucking annoying as hell. Go do theorycrafting on a forum. He spends way to much time trying to teach the game... like going into detail how someone is laning... which is cool if nothing is going on. But the mini-map has green and red coins clashing...
Phreak does fine casting. I swear all I've seen this weekend are people bitching about something, its kind of annoying. No other young game company could put on a show like this one.
