To be honest TSM just lost the map control going for dragon. Giving up towers and allowing that much farming was more beneficial then dragon bonus. In any CLG match they don't even consider dragon unless they are given it for free w/o a tradeoff.

Why is it that Warwick is no longer a competitive jungle pick? Olaf, Nunu, and Trundle were basically the only three I saw in any of these games.

We lost, but let's learn from our mistakes. There's another week, and we can still go at it if people want to come back for another try. Being so close and losing, f that. There's another week, another chance, a whole week to get better.


I think to get better, we need to understand and learn from our mistakes, and practice. Just observing what I saw, the last game we played, we had no damage and we lost our lanes. When things aren't supposed to go the way they should, a lot of miscommunication happens. I don't know, I feel like there should be more communication between the team.

I really think a big part of this game is laning. You win your lane, and suddenly phases after laning become easier. Lose your lane, and you have to fight an uphill battle. That uphill battle is really hard to fight if teams don't make mistakes. I think that is how skill equates to 5's. How well you can play your lane. Adding to things other than laning, I obviously felt like our comp had no dmg. 3 tanks, support, and a carry. They could easily just kite us and run, and we got no kills. Other than the laning mistakes, we personally picked ashe to go up against ezreal and gragas to go up against anivia, but gragas laned against ezreal, and anivia laned against ashe. Also, I went taric, but I think soraka nasus was a better lane than taric nasus. After trying it out, having 2 melee with suboptimal harass/dmg makes you defensive and a bad lane.

Another part of our play, I feel like we died to a lot of ganks the last two games. I died to a gank the first game that I should not have died to. A lot and lot of ganks.

Personally, I felt like I did not perform up to the standard that I should have performed. Teamwise, I felt like xpecial's team was a team we should have beaten. Teamwise, I also think we need more variety in our picks.


Please share your thoughts on the game and what you observed, what you believe can be fixed/done better, and if you will play again next week.




I think if we can, we should go for two or three ranked games a day where we can play to just practice. What time is good for you guys? I know every1 that played the game today, plays the game almost every day to every day, and are active. Input on thoughts please.

As odd as it sounds, I think to improve on their team Solomid need a bit of a re-branding effort. The community is called Solomid.. and from watching their streams, all of them love to play, you guessed it.. solo mid. The jungling and support skills just aren't there in any shape, and their teamplay suffers because of it. CLG are almost proud to have skills at jungling and at various support/tank heroes, and their teamplay is at the top of the game because of it right now.
