9-1 in kills to V8 6k gold lead 15 mins in. Just goes up to 8k as I type this.
|
10k gold, 1 inhib down for AAA at 20 mins. AAA waiting to see how baron fight goes before moving on to game 2.
Drawn out skirmish in mid with AAA going in one by one. They surrender and move on to game two.
$5 says there's gonna be a morgana ban from AAA this time.

meh, games not even worth watching. you can tell ping is affecting the play of the EU players, and it's probably gotten to them psychologically too aAa knows they've qualified already, I don't think they're even trying at this point

V8 live in the US, muffinqt already lives in vegas, so if anyone "isn't really trying" it would be them. All expenses paid trip for AAA to vegas sounds like it would be worth 10k-15k alone, there is no way in hell they aren't playing with their full effort.
Does ping make a difference? yes, but a lot of the errors have been errors in decision making, as opposed to ping related errors (like fail smites, etc).

Lol at fail smite as example, as if that was the real problem.

Game 2: Bans AAA: Morg, Cass, Mao V8: Kennen, Karth, Ram
Picks: AAA: Udyr, Graves, Taric, Malz, WW V8: Shyv, Janna, Sivir, Ryze, Vlad
Malz + WW is a great choice for AAA, should offer them a great chance to circumvent some ping problems. Shen unbanned, and unpicked... was sure V8 would pick him up last pick, but instead they like the double AP. Vlad going to be against lanewick most likely... will be interesting to see, I hope Eski has been practicing his vlad.
@ Redox: Fail smite is an example of ping related difficulties, as it's hard to smite at the right time. My claim is that ping wasn't the major issue last game, fail smites NOT being an issue, supports my argument. I totally agree ping makes a difference, but a lot of the early kills weren't ping related in the slightest.

surge promote sivir...
edit: I was being trolled

There's no need to be rude. If you want to point out examples from the game where ping was an issue, then by all means do so. Being condescending doesn't win you any arguments.

WHAT'S UP PING?

V8 10k down, 1 inhib. 24 mins in. Pretty much a complete reversal of game 1. Clearly it's all ping... /sarcasm
|
Game 3: For an all expenses paid trip to vegas
Bans: V8: Kennen, Karthus, WW AAA: Mao, Morg, Cass
Picks: V8: Udyr. Janna, Kog. Ahri, Malph AAA: Graves, Rammus, Taric, Riven, Fizz
Interesting lineups. I have never seen Ahri vs Fizz, should be really interesting. Riven Udyr should be a bit of a farmfest, and Graves Taric with the pre 6 advantage against kog janna.
Loading screen reveals ~175 ping for AAA and ~90 for V8.

linak playing pretty poorly it seems
|
Dat kog flash, flashes after dying and misses out on a triple / quadra
|

Really like v8's teamcomp. Guess it goes without saying though haha. I think Ahri is just totally broken and malphite is really underrated. Kog is sleeper OP even though he was banned for ages. Udyr top always underrated. Better teamfight comp than aAa.
Rammus - weaker in teamfights Fizz - weaker in teamfights Taric - weaker in teamfights -Graves - weaker in teamfights
Kinda early game/roaming comp.
