Manta first. I really can't criticize Black for getting triggered. The illusion damage amp simply isn't there that early on and the mana cost seriously takes a chunk out of your EHP. I find it questionable that the splitting to avoid stuns is more valuable than the raw HP approach Skadi first provides on top of the slow.


Or even an early damage item that would help burst Alch down.


Alch got 12 min radiance..I don't think of an item other than. Yasha who can damage alch early game except if u want her to go maelstrom first which is pretty bad.



For raw damage Yasha is eclipsed by crystalis. There's also Mask of Madness but even with max Mana Shield it's still problematic even with a point booster.

who would have thought a TB Medusa composition would work? well played Fnatic

Did it work because it was 2 ranged vs 2 melee cores?

Either way, it worked out way better for Fnatic when Mushi was on a carry mid instead of those pesky ganking mid.

Those two cores take a lot of farm for them to even come online. It is greedy enough to pick them, making them work so well so early is really hard.
The team played really well, it is not as easy as saying 2xRanged > 2xMelee.


Not really. Firstly both are able to obtain farm. Medusa solos decently, tb at safe lane free farm. Medusa stone gaze alone makes engaging Fnatic a difficult task, especially when backed up by ravage. A tb deals a shit load of damage if the enemy can't really control or burst him (protected by gaze ravage etc). Its unconventional draft, but it works well against Fnatic lineup.

Again I felt a timbersaw would have wrecked Fnatic. Gives LGD the burst they really craved. Tb can't deal with timber until late game. Only concern would be how well disruptor plays.

It was decided when mushi just kept popping stone gaze at right times to freeze 2 or 3 LGD heroes..tb needed someone to initiate fights and Medusa and es allowed that with ravage followup

Mom provides more DPS than yasha, while its amp is negated somewhat as it occurs after mana shield reduction. Yasha is fine though. Manta is not.

Yeah I'm not feeling MoM either but Crystalis damage is way above yasha. Crystalis into point booster to eventual Skadi is a much better progression than Manta.


Hopefully game 3 is a great ending to this series.

We have already seen TB alone comps and Medusa alone comps fail easily because the clock ticks hard for them. I am just impressed on how early and well they made them work together.
Saying they won purely because 2 ranged against 2 melee is a big enough advantage is quite lazy. Fnatic played really well.

I think the pl is going to have trouble getting enough damage to kill LGDs cores.
