Ban Nasus Jungle | The Dive Driven by Kia

The regular season is over and Spring Playoffs are finally here! On this episode of The Dive Driven by Kia, Azael, Kobe, and Meteos open with a deeper discussion about LYON’s in-game comms. While it may seem toxic to some, there’s a level of understanding between the pros- friendship & flaming can go hand in hand when players aren’t afraid to step on eggshells while communicating. How do you prefer to express yourself with your teammates?
Dhokla and Saint are still competing for LYON’s top lane spot, while FLY’s Gryffinn pulled out a Nasus jungle that hasn’t been seen in LCS pro play since 2013. Despite C9’s undefeated regular season, one of the rarer accomplishments in the LCS, the team is still trying to earn back fans’ trust after their performance at Americas Cup. Meanwhile, the top five teams all look dangerously competitive heading into playoffs, and even with Contractz bringing out his signature Olaf, SR still enters the bracket as the underdogs.
After breaking down last week’s matches, our hosts lock in their Round 1 Playoff predictions. Can FLY’s champion pool find a way past the seemingly unconquerable C9? And in the highly anticipated rematch between TLAW and LYON, will revenge be on the table?
Oh, and leave a comment for what Kobe should paint on Raz’s face on broadcast this Saturday. We’ll see you there!
