3.@cloudsidky (Jul 30): "@blaber on losing to TL: 'It sucks that we lost today... I'm hoping that we're able to fix our problems early and scale instead of the other way around. We've had really strong regular season showings before and we havent been able to translate [it to playoffs]'."

4.@adololfan (Jul 30): "Even though HLE lost that game, Guma played so insanely well I felt obviously bad for the boys but esp for Guma cuz he put out such a great performance I think personally his Ziggs is prob the strongest in proplay nowadays he really managed to improve and maximise that pick"
Caster takes
5.@adololfan (Jul 30): "the casters are already annoying me why would one series define HLE? if they lose it doesn't mean they aren't the best in the world anymore?? I don't get this pressure they are trying to imply on them it's not like you can't lose a game, they won split and msi when it mattered"
