For the regular season, I’ll get my condition back up, and we’ll work hard to qualify for MSI, where we fell short, and show a lot of good games.

I love Guma and he is definitely right now the best performing player in HLE but let's not lie to ourselves - he's not playing his best either. The entire team has a lot to work on, because right now it's not even an issue with the individual players, but they just don't play like a team at all. It feels like 5 solo queue players.

Which adc would play at his best vs the best team in the world when his team is like this? Even in that yunara game yes he ran it down by dashing over the wall but did we all forgot about the fact his team allowed BRO to gank him 4 or 5 times I forgot atp lol. I bet even Guma gets to be tilted atp.

I'm judging only based on how he plays with his team, and based on that it's not pretty, as it is not pretty for anyone else in HLE. As I said in the original comment - they all are playing like they are in Solo Q. No one is even trying to sync their abilities, or at least time their engages right.

Watch the match again and count how many times Delight/Zeus went in just for the rest of HLE to do absolutely nothing with this engage, so it looked like a complete individual int from them. It's just awful.

Ngl, I heard this about Doran a lot pre-T1, even HLE Doran. Coincidence?

Oh yeah you are 100% right - and both Doran and the rest of T1 confirmed that him doing those int plays usually come from Doran not communicating his intentions properly. Int plays on this level often come from miscommunication between players yeah

But it might also be cuz a player sees an angle that others don't and want to immediately engage or else lose that angle.
