Over the weekend, I played my first four ranked games– I won two and lost two. Although I was super anxious at first, I calmed down and it felt like a normal game. I actually queued with my friend (who got us the roles we wanted by claiming his original account was a Diamond rank and by threatening to leave the game). I played very passively, and I feel like that’s why we lost the last two games. Hopefully I’ll win the last six placement games and be placed in middle or high Silver.
Currently, the League Championship Series are going on (LCS). I was really upset when Team Solo Mid (TSM) lost 3 out of 5 games to Cloud9 (C9), because Bjergsen, their mid lane player, was focused and he couldn’t carry the team. Although they lost, they still managed to place second in playoffs. A few days ago, the community receieved shocking news that Xpecial, TSM’s support player, was benched, but not because he was lacking in performance. Because of their loss, TSM’s management has decided to change up the team composition to see if they can get better. As for the new support position alongside WildTurtle, the ADC, there are just some hints so far. He has recently been duo queueing with Cloud9’s Gleebglarbu.
Here’s just a highlight of TSM vs CLG (Counter Logic Gaming) and proof that Bjergsen is a god.
On another sad note, C9’s Bischu has not been put on the LCS team so he has decided to retire and start attending school at UCSD (but he’ll still continue streaming).
