Episode 11 - BuT gUiZe, fLaSh WoLvEs ArE tHe KoReA sLaYeRz!!

 

Recorded on: May 8th, 2019 

 

The over/under for times that some iteration of "Flash Wolves are the Korea Slayers" on broadcast is set at 3.5.

 

Heading into it, this is shaping up to be the most interesting MSI to date. The gang tries to give some granularity on what the differences between these teams are, how they measure up relative to each other, each host gives their tier lists, and we go through picks for the first round robin. We also have a handful of side topics including how can people possibly think Rookie isn't one of the best ever, team style vs individual players, why IG are the Ben Roethlisberger are LOL, Phong Vu is really REALLY bad, the whole play-in stage was really really REALLY bad, people don't watch Eastern LOL and talk like they do, and many more!
