Spoilers for BDS vs Vitality ahead.BDS had a pretty good spring with their 7-2 finish after the round robin; massive improvement over winter, and still with potential to improve, it seems.With their 3-0 win over vitality, and 2-0 wins over both group stage opponents, they're currently 14-2 for the split.If they win the final, even 3-2, the worst they could finish is 17-4. And if they lose 0-3, they still finish 14-5 (maybe 16-5, if they lose 2-3).In any case, I've thoroughly enjoyed watching them grow, as a team, and as individuals, to a point where I'm like "oh damn. I think I like BDS now".Adam has matured a lot, and is fun to see on the desk. Crownie tearing up in his interview shows just how passionate he is. nuc finding his groove and confidently throwing shade back at thooorin might've won me over.Genuinely excited to see how far they can go, and I wonder what kind of performance they'd put on at MSI if they actually do win the split like I hope.Tl;dr: BDS are hype as fuck and their current win/loss for spring is actually nutty

So I spent the last week giving free coaching. I coached probably around 40 players from Bronze to Plat and here are my insights: Most players, Gold and below struggle with the following things:Jungling:If you can make these timers above, you will be advantaged in most of your games until high plat where players start clearing and pathing correctly (semi-correctly). This allows you to play into the enemy and stat check them as you will be full clearing by 3:30 while the enemy will be clearing by 3:45 plus. This gives you tempo, level advantage, and a farm advantage, putting you up 2 dragons and a herald at 10 minutes and puts you into a position to use your farm lead to snowball. I know jungling is much more complex but this is needed if you want to stomp the game.Finally, you need to understand that if you want to climb, you need to STOMP lane or your matchup CONSISTENTLY. Developing these fundamentals will help you create a fundamental base you can build upon as you climb to a higher elo.Good luck on your climb guys.

Any ideas of how to win this matchup? He just AA'd me whenever I walked up to CS, and pretty much no matter what I did (tried to E onto him, fight when my passive was up, reset my AA with Q) he would still just win. Eventually it was impossible to even CS without my E up since I would have to E away every time I walked up to take the minion.
