DAO pushing down mid now. CLG 4 defending while Corki solo farms bottom. But CLG's pokes continue to keep them at bay. DAO regrouping, rushing bot now towards Corki.

Corki d/c's yet again and DAO picks him off. CLG smartly responds by taking out Mid Inner Tower. DAO now pushing Mid again.

A solid looking dive from DAO mid turned into a 1-3 situation in favor of CLG, with the turret holding.

Cho might have fucked up big time by flashing onto Kennen, he DID hide him and all but he also fucked up his targeting. Xpecial couldn't do anything in that teamfight after the ult.

BARON up, CLG gets split while trying to ward and elementz gets eaten, 570 AP on nidalee is a lot, chauster who is now back runs into a ward and almost gets raped, having no stuns on demand really hurt DAO right there.

The difference in skill is just too big.

The game has been back to pushing/harassing mid, with CLG only moving around to take DAO's buffs.

I feel like DAO got outpicked too. They can't compete in a pokefest and they have no one like Malph or Amumu who can turn a pokefest into a teamfight, or someone like TF or Shen who can just go solopush and force something that way. So they just get caught in a pokefest and eventually get worn down.

It's clear that CLG is really fucking good and that's why they're able to be ahead despite Chauster's DCs, but I think with even skill on either side and no repeated disconnects CLG's team comp wins.

Lux double kills. Lux + Nid snipe Olaf. CLG 3-1 DAO trade but CLG's mid inner tower still standing.

That was a really great position play by Xpecial but amazing play by Jiji and Hotshot to win that team fight 4v5.

another meh ulti from mumu. He keeps barely missing. They're good ults imo, but not optimal.

Despite d/c 1/3 of the game, Corki has Manamune, Trinity, and Negatron. Both teams grouping up for Baron.

For anyone wondering if you should watch DAO vs CLG - previous game (solomid vs Rock Solid) was waaay cooler

CLG decides to abort the baron, I sort of agree with their decision although if they had gone all out on it they could have taken with 2 ppl at base.

DAO now closing in to baron, chauster farming the lanes that automatically get pushed is getting a ton of gold and xp.

Chauster dc again as DAO is fully healed and pushing mid.

One tower will fall, let's see how DAO will follow it up.

DAO really looked a gifthorse in the mouth by not going tower->baron and instead going tower->stand around doing nothing while chauster dc'd again

I really like how CLG's 4 non dc-ing player are staying mid being a constant threat, so that when their lanes get pushed Chauster has some huge waves of gold and xp to farm.

They were probably hoping to get inhib right away but yeah, bad decision.

Fail dive mid will lead to a 4-0? Ace?
