Shouldda just picked Teemo over irelia, especially when shrooms can spot counterjungling, you can clear the waves and stop shyvana from pushing into you ... oh and because its your main and its finally a good spot to use teemo...

TRM is just too weak with Irelia

Him Quoting Saintvicious
"eh.... aggressive counter-jungling takes advantage of weak junglers and weak lane picks.

Moscow 5 took advantage of rain mans weak top lane performance/picks as well as oddones poor adaptability. I was really disappointed in how oddone played and I thought he would adapt better. Moscow 5 knows how to group and plays well in that sense but I think the aggressive counter jungling strat is extremely flawed and would not work against a solid jungler/top lane. CLG EU has shown this with their consistant wins vs moscow 5 in scrims."


"Also for people who say clg comes off as arrogant, clg as hands down double if not tripple any teams overall tourney wins on the history of competitive league. We are also one of the oldest teams in league as well. I give my opinion from that point and nothing else. It's like John Madden critiquing a play in football and then someone coming out and saying madden is an arrogant idiot for doing so. I speak from a long line of experience and nothin more.
M5 is going to end up being the next dig, do well one tourney and get overhyped." ENDQUOTE

Team Solomid has always had a very outspoken attitude and it is a trait that has garnered the love and hope of so many fans. TSM has not had an amazing track record in tournaments and while we relish our victories, we show humility in defeat. Unfortunately, not every team follows our same philosophy, as one could see from the above quote on Reddit from CLG's Saintvicious.

All teams appreciate constructive criticism, however Saint's comments were anything but. While Saintvicious and TheOddOne do have an intense rivalry, there is a limit. As a team, we acknowledge our own mistakes and work to address them, but Saint's comments on a public forum are ones stemming from arrogance and are of no reasonable value. This isn't the first time, after MLG Providece, HotshotGG posted on Reddit stating, "my hero repertoire hard counters their Yorick, I know it wouldn't have been a problem for me." Instead of congratulating TheRainMan on his impressive play at MLG, he instead claims that if it were him there, there would simply be no contest between the two.

Though Saintvicious claims that "he speaks from a long line of experience," CLG has not won a single LAN tournament with their full roster since WCG 2010, including a 0-2 loss to MiG in the recent Korean tournament in which CLG was the only western team present. CLG speaks with authority, but lacks the force to back it up and it has been showing with their recent slump resulting in the departure of long-time member, Elementz.

Moscow 5 played amazing at IntelEM Kiev, impressing everyone and garnering the attention of hundreds of thousands worldwide. Despite such an impressive play, CLG's only comment are that they will never become a top tier team and that had CLG been there, it would have been a victory for CLG. This is not the attitude that any team should take in regards to upcoming superstars. CLG should show a bit more respect to any team that are not themselves and work on their own play instead of criticizing every other team's.

As for us, we plan to continue to practice as much as possible and we will be playing on the Europe-West server in preparation for future tournaments. Also, on behalf of Team Solomid, we congratulate Moscow 5 for their victory over us in the grand finals of IntelEM Kiev in the best matches of the tournament. I wish them the best of luck in upcoming events and in the rest of their LoL careers.

...their recent slump resulting in the departure of long-time member, Elementz.

How do you guys lane against graves as an ad carry? I feel like there's absolutely nothing I can do against him, every time you trade, you lose. And he has a gap closer. He can easily zone you and you can't do shit about it. That stupid armor is such bs.

I thought the gold seals were gonna be terrible because they're so much less efficient than the gold quints/armor seals but then I started thinking of it in terms of how quickly I was going to get my first gp5 item and noticed the seals give you your first gp5 40 seconds earlier. at that point it occured to me even kinda bad values of gp5 are pretty much core because you snowball off of getting your gp5 as early as possible while still maintaining wards and lane presence. So I take those masteries and I run gold seals.

craton actually told me they were good and it took me too long (at least a week) to realize he was right
