@Xpecial HOW do you think abut lustboy because he did make a lot of mistake today against gravity which also caused them to lose that one game. or it can be seen differently but still next week u ll be going against him so whats ur thoughts of how confident u are from 1 -10? THNKS A LOT LOVE U GUYS TL FOR LIFE!!!!!
I think Lustboy is an above average LCS support that hasn't been performing at his best recently. Against TSM as of this moment, I am 7/10 in confidence level. We have time to make that a 10 still!

Maybe this is hard to answer but,
@everyone who do you think is the best player in your role or maybe someone you look up to? (from any region)
Best at support? Very hard to tell, but I enjoy watching Pyl and Imp play the most.

Any tips on how to be good with Kalista (my main) and Xpecial, any tips on Nami?
Number one tip with Nami is to max W and land your Qs.

Hello TL Peeps, Are you confident enough to win against high tier foreign teams at worlds?
Confident enough to win? Not against China or SKT, but against any other team we can definitely be competitive with.

What do you guys think is your biggest flaw as a team? (most people just ask about strenght
)
I played Dota2 a bit a year or so ago, but haven't touched it recently. I watched some of the games from The International as those are always sick. Dota 2 is definitely successful, while I don't see HotS really taking off, but I haven't looked into it much.
Our biggest flaw is that we all have strong opinions with a language barrier that makes it hard to communicate directly sometimes. This comes into play both in and out of the game, but is something that we've mostly fixed.

@Xpecial
Why do you think Wolf is a better support than Piccaboo (or Gorilla)? Have you watched much of OGN this season?
I don't necessarily rate it that way as I don't watch much OGN, but Wolf has had standout games recently. I also see him as being a strong asset for the strongest team in Korea.

@Entire Team
If Riot made the game permanently 6v6, which ex- Curse player or academy player would fill the 6th role for Team Liquid in the LCS?
@Xpecial
If you could make any non-viable champion, viable in the meta as a support, who would it be and why?
Good luck for playoffs boys! Do us proud!
We would have to hold tryouts? I don't know how that would work.
I would unrework Zilean and put him back on support so I can style on peeps.

Will we see you play Trundle Support?
I have played him in solo queue

Do you have any other pro players that you respect/watch or would like to practice with/against? NA or other regions
I enjoy watching many of the supports in China, such as Pyl and Meiko, as I perceive that region to be strongest.

@Everyone
What would you guys do if Riot allowed Sandbox mode to happen?
I would use it to practice a few minutes each day. Perfecting flaying J4 E+Qs, flashing over walls accurately with Annie, etc.

@Everyone
You guys are doing well right now, and I have high hopes for you at playoffs, but you all have had bad times in your careers, live almost every other League pro. What do you think was the lowest point of your careers and how did you rebound back to being the top of the league?
I think my lowest point was right when I left TSM as I didn't know if my success was a result of my own play or the players I was surrounded by. Talent and hard work is really all I know and that's all I could do. I just put in 100% effort and hope that turns into results.

@xpecial it seems like leona is only situational now in pro play. What would need to change for her to be a viable main pick again?
I don't believe there is anything wrong with Leona being a situational pick. Her kit naturally gets countered by tankier champs or those with more CCs. Because of this, not everyone is able to play her and it allows those that do to have an extra champion to pull from their champ pool.

@Xpecial What do you think about support Sejuani and Elise? Can they succeed, and what do they need?
Neither are played for different reasons. Sejuani is basically Leona, but with less damage and not as tanky, while Elise doesn't do anything better than Annie. For them to succeed, they would need much higher numbers, which I wouldn't suggest doing.

@Xpecial Hey! I'm your biggest fan! Who do you think are the top 3 supports in premade 5 games and how the !@#$ are you so good at support (How do you practice)?
Top 3 supports in 5s would be Alistar, Janna and Braum. These three have utility that aren't often capitalized on as much in solo queue. I practice mainly through solo queue and scrims!

@xpecial is righteous glory still a good buy on supports? is ancient coin worth starting on spellthief supports, or does it make more sense to sell spellthiefs later for the talisman (on annie and champs like that)
Righteous Glory is still good for supports that need a little more help initiating, like Annie and Alistar. Spellthief supports should still start Spellthief if it will help with trading and winning lane. Selling Spellthief for Talsiman later is always an option. Think of it this way, if the extra damage from Spellthief can zone the enemy ADC for 10 CS, it's already worth getting over Coin level 1.

@Team: How do you think Cloud 9 will do in Gauntlet? If you go to Worlds, how far realistically do you all think you can get through?? I hope you guys get first seed because you deserve it with the amount of effort you put it.Love you all <3
@Xpecial Will we be seeing the Trundle support coming out soon from you??
Cloud 9 can definitely make it through the gauntlet. I think that they'll get to the finals and potential lose out then. The hierarchy of NA teams is extremely clear cut and I believe that C9 are still near the top.
I think if we work extremely hard, we can hit the semis of Worlds.
I hope we win playoffs as well!
Maybe we'll see Trundle, I have been playing him a little bit in solo queue!

@Xpecial, after Curse stopped banning Maokai and Kha'Zix and you didn't qualify for you first World Championship, how does it feel to start playoffs as #1 again?
Also, what do you think about support meta right now, do we have certain tier-1 supports or almost everything including Tahm Kench is viable?
Starting playoffs being #1 doesn't mean much for me considering how close the games were to even get to this point.
There will always be a tier list of supports. Right now, Alistar, Braum and Janna are tier 1, but many counterpicks and close Tier 2 champs follow them.
