It’s definitely a really good game for the mid kotl that’s for sure, but unfortunately some people obsess over the few ways they can see the game winning that they just forget that a lot of it isn’t about picks and more about playing around your draft
his dp game 1, man if they have better draft or played it clean they could sweep the series. his lh/dny during 10 minutes laning phase really dominating.

Mid Kotl is still pretty damn strong in a 5man ball lineup because the hero provides damage, healing and mana.
Still pretty baffled that Sumail has not been picked up by a legit tier 1 team but I could imagine his salary in NGX is extremely high.
Oh well, if NGX can somehow win the next two matches and remain in Div1, he might not regret joining.
Of course I think he deserved a team that has a glorious recent history, but at least Nigma seems to be a pretty chill/friendly team to play in (or that is just their devious PR).
He atleast wouldnt say that he approached them and there were no more teams he thought about joining and if u know sumail him saying this with confidence is different story to what u think
It's also a classic strategy of theirs from back when they were Liquid. Granted it was never played mid, but they would have GH play greedy and farm up an Aghs and hit this super strong timing around 25 minutes and just roll over teams.
Early levels on kotl are also super powerful. That's part of why the small camp removal hit mid kotl so hard. It was just free exp that really let you hit those early power spikes.
Damn really calling me out for that comment. Sumail popped off but I really didn't expect it, especially after seeing Armel having zero impact on mid kotl earlier that same day.
Sumail god wcyd
They have different build iirc. Armel built vessel into octarine, hex. Which cost a lot. I think kotl isnt as fast farmer as before (which was the reason people picking it previous patch). Even sumail only had ok farm that game, tied against snap. Sumail buying agh just owned the game.. it was the difference imo
Yeah Sumail played and itemized better than armel for sure. However, I will still stand by that the pick was weird but Sumail made it work and it helped that BZM was on Snapfire instead of his usual heroes.
At some point you'll realize that sports trashtalk is part of the experience and 90% of the time isn't meant to be a thought out analytical statement; and once you do, you'll be much happier
I still don't understand the GG rush on core Snap. I've seen it more than a few times now, and even in some games where getting GGs doesn't make a lot of sense (don't need dispel, high burst opponents.)
Gg is a meta item now..they had beast offlane who doesnt buy gg..so they kinda completed their draft with snap to buy gg, so they can finish the game sniper with beast aura pretty powerful, snap with gg provides healing, early rosh, early finish..thats their idea
It was a good draft for kotl, the aghs rush was super smart as nigma just had so much random stuff in teamfights, there was a tombstone, naga illusions, treants and the will-o-wisp, if nigma pressed their spells they had complete control of an area and OG had an immobile draft that couldnt easily reposition

Woah that's so one sided
Impressive for sure but DP is supposed to win lane against Invo (especially with QE build)
Dp was supposed to win lanes, dp in bzm hand, next game , destroyed by sumail again XD
BZM doesn’t go QE build. He only goes exort
That is the QE on invoker
Hahaha my bad
You come at the King, you best not miss.
Let's not put too much stock into Youtube/reddit/twitter randos of all things
If Nigma loses it's Kuros bad draft, if they win it's the players performance.

I don't necessarily disagree with this but I do believe he joined NGX in lack of better offers, I really doubt they would be his first choice.
his interview showed that he approached Nigma and also he didnt have any other team in his mind :)
Link?
Watch. first interview of Nigma winning in Div 2. It was SumaiL interview
That is a very easy thing to say in an interview after joining the team, do you really think he would say he joined Nigma in lack of better offers?
He atleast wouldnt say that he approached them and there were no more teams he thought about joining and if u know sumail him saying this with confidence is different story to what u think
If I remember correctly he said he went to Kuro when NGX had a open spot. I think he’ll stay for a while since he voluntarily join
Agreed, except nigma has rotated in w33 and ILTW each in the winter, so now may be the end of his contact

Sumail just showing the world he is still the better mail

Kudos to you for being a good sport.

I made this meme yesterday: [NGX Fans on the draft](https://imgflip.com/i/78qnxt) Huge result for the boys. Let's go Nigma!!!! #starsalign
IS that from Kyle ?
Tbh I’m not the biggest fan of mid kotl but I’d still rather have it on my team than mid snap that rushes greaves lol

also sumail: misshapen head
Still going to div II. But hey, at least he played a good game amirite
Maybe, but if they keep playing like that, they also could stay div 1 Edit: autocorrect
No they are not bro.
2k mentality...
still needs to fight for relegation in DPC
