Rough Drafts Podcast

In today's edition of the Rough Drafts Podcast, Chase "RedShirtKing" Wassenar and Walter "Ceades" Fedczuk take a look at last week's EU LCS Quarterfinals action and see what lessons fans and teams alike should learn heading into the semifinals. They begin with a breakdown of the Unicorns of Love's disastrous series, Origen's path to victory, and whether that will be enough against the somehow underrated H2k-Gaming roster. Then, they look at how Team Vitality saw their playoff run come to an end so quickly, whether Fnatic's versatility is a blessing or a curse, and how G2's style will attempt to mesh with this new meta. They close with their predictions for the week.
