Ame lesh isn't that bad. Just not his standard.

They should've swapped heroes tho. Maybe Ember is honestly just really really good and Ame can play gyro anyways


I believe they chose such lanes because they want to dodge Zeus-Ember, since it is an awkward match-up.

LGD has to hit the 20-25 BKB timing team fights hard. OG is probably going to dodge them until they have more items. Watch this turn into a Benny Hill match after 20 minutes.


Then there is a very awkward thing: LGD have no tower damage until Gyro gets a damage item (aghs or butterfly).


True, but they've got good wave clear from 4 positions, so the NP shouldn't be able to collapse the T2s that quickly.

Idk they have good waveclear but they have to show heroes for it. They don't have those safe wave clearing heroes like ET or Zeus(wait from the other team actually)

That basically tells me Ame can't mid. And this inflexibility will come into play.

Nice that the crowd roars are alerting the camera controller if they're missing any LGD kills.

Ame can play this at a tempo really well. LGD is going hard on the Dual Core approach with 3 supporting heroes. OG is going to have a tri-core + 2 supporting. LGD needs tempo.

I don't think Ame can't probably just wants to safelane and have a support around it seems.

Does Topson even count as a Mid most of the time?

If Ceb hits an early Orchid timing, he's going to ruin LGD's team fight.

I mean i am ok with normal EN casters considering other pros can't cast well like they get confused on what they say on stage.

But hearing faith_bian and burning's pov must be really nice.

Cap and Blitz casting is great imo. Could use pros for post analysis but for cast I prefer real casters
