The team sounded upset when chatting in vent post game, but had a mature "learn from mistakes, get better" attitude, with no blame games. Solo queue ego maybe stays in solo queue?

I dont buy the whole "the more we play the more we lessen the edge" angle. They win by not making mistakes and having the 2 best solo lane players in the world. It isnt like playing more is going to show other teams anything they dont already know.

my analysis of the CLG vs tictacs game

Elementz needed to either take teleport or let his tower fall early while he tried to gank or something because him staying top vs karthus all game just gives the other team a massive advantage...very poor play there

CLG put 2 farm dependent people bottom which is always a terrible idea unless you get to the point in a game where everyone is crazy farmed, which it didnt even come close to

Very careless against ashe arrow, They got initiated on everytime making amumu a worthless character as that is his selling point

a bunch of tanks protecting hurpgot and kassadin, 2 characters that do not need babysitting at all really...not sure what they were thinking with the team comp

and.... they straight up just raped CLG in cs, which is fairly unacceptable lol

Something I just thought about: jiji is a tf main pretty much. Yet we never see clg run tf in matches. Why is that? He gives them a lot of mobility, and TF pretty much forces other teams to make decisions, which if clg really is the best team, they should be able to take advantage of those choices.

to me the difference is that TF on EU and TF on US are viewed very differently. It seems that EU sees his mobility as highly valuable in teamplay because it can easily exploit holes in the other team's defense. To play against TF in teamplay you have to be anticipating every single move. However on US it seems, imoimoimo, that TF is more of a pubstomper, and people use his ult to punish any overextension or undue aggression by the enemy. I actually think that jiji has fallen into this mentality a little bit. I feel like I rerely see him use destiny to backdoor, it's always to position himself for fights and be where the action is. Of course this is only in solo queue where realbig$$ isn't on the line but I dunno..it seems like he hasn't practiced the other style.
