MAD Lions: seventh place (8-10)
ninth Ranked High: Armut. 1 BlogOfLegends MVP.
third Ranked Jng: Elyoya. 4 BlogOfLegends MVPs.
tenth Ranked Mid: Reeker. 1 BlogOfLegends MVP.
fifth Ranked Bot: UNF0RGIVEN. 2 BlogOfLegends MVPs.
tenth Ranked Sup: Kaiser.
We reside in a world the place Kaiser is definitely the worst help within the LEC… Let that sink in for a second – the person that served as probably the most constant engine for the two-time reigning champions now sits at an embarrassing final place. Kaiser’s dropoff is certainly one of two massive the reason why the reigning champs don’t even make playoffs this 12 months. His lack of actual interact help precedence has price his workforce some video games in addition to his lack of knowledge within the early-mid sport and getting caught out, giving a lift of tempo and gold for the opposition.
Elyoya, the opposite half of the famed MAD Lions jg/supp duo, shone shiny below the less-than-enviable circumstances he discovered himself on this cut up, establishing himself as as soon as once more a particularly highly effective carry jungler. We by no means did see him and Kaiser hyperlink up and take over the map like they did final 12 months, however it’s good to see that the seventh place MAD Lions’ have a prime three jungler amidst their ranks.
Reeker and UNF0RGIVEN, rookies debuting on the identical workforce on the identical workforce, couldn’t have had extra completely different first splits. UNF0RGIVEN was a standout within the early weeks earlier than mellowing out for almost all of the cut up, and kicking it into excessive gear as soon as once more through the MAD Lions’ bittersweet 3-0 run within the final week of the LEC. Reeker didn’t actually match up blow for blow along with his EU mid brethren and was solely capable of finding any semblance of relevance with three straight Twisted Destiny picks within the Tremendous Week. Nevertheless, I stay assured in Mac’s teaching and I anticipate the MAD Lions to come back again stronger within the following cut up.
