  • @Epengu
    @Epengu Месяц назад +54

    Man, Nien is still one of the LCS's biggest "what-ifs" to me. He might be best remembered for the top lane Elise triple kill and base defense against TSM, but for those who don't know - Nien was an otherworldly ADC talent before CLG took a rider on him for top lane. He was MRN's ace in the hole, often hard carrying a team with a Diamond 2 jungler to their only wins(much love still for ClakeyD).
    So as a Doublelift/CLG fan, you can imagine the mixed emotions when he joined CLG. Sure, he was on my favorite team - but as a top laner? A lot of people were skeptical about the roleswap - and even as his biggest fan, I have to admit that while he grew a lot in the role and was saddled with playing perma-weakside, it was always clear that it wasn't a perfect fit. Nien took the role to be on a better team - and you know what, they still got 3rd in the split when TSM and C9 were dominant.
    Nien went back to AD for a bit after the top-lane stint, but he never quite looked the same. I dream about a world where he managed to get an AD position on another top team and never had his skills decline - but from the sporadic appearances over the year, he still seems to be a nice, happy-go-lucky guy - which is the real reason I was such a fan in the first place. Hope you're doing well wherever you are, Nien.

I played vs. HotshotGG (he was poppy), and I just remember my team was hellbent on insuring he had less than 1 KDA. We achieved that goal and lost horribly 😅 He seemed impossibly slippery, so we were sending 4 at a time after him :p
