I like the players' banter at the beginning of the game.

Fnatic warded aTn's wraiths but aTn countered it with a pink right away

Fnatic: gg, gold advantage
aTn: wp remake

Shyvana gets caught trying to steal enemy golems, GP chase her and Mundo comes with his cleaver ready. Shyv forced to ult, Malz comes too, Wukong saves Shyvana but almost dies under his turret, saved by GP having to withdraw not to die. Ahri comes, almost gets Malzahar and kills GP tho. 2-1.

Edit: then Shyvana tries to steal enemy blue, gets caught by 3, ult right into the trees—apparently she even dived farther than she should (because she can't stop in the terrain)? Lamia kills her with a good ult (Ashe).

Shushei is so useless.

btw i like the commentary very much. It is nice to hear analytical commentary for a change.

aTn wins a trade 2-1 at mid, Shyvana and Wukong arriving just in time to countergank Malzahar and GP on Ahri, killing the former. Ahri is going to barely live when GP gets her with her ult, before dying to Shyv/Wu.
During this time, aTn's bot lane forces Janna/Ashe to back and pick up a drake in the process, with Mundo too busy trying to help GP.

4 half dead people (Kog, Shyv, Wukong, Ahri) on GP to burst him (with Wu's ult thrown him), he still kills Kog before falling.

Ahri gets caught trying to burst Janna at mid, aTn has to 3v4 inside GP's and Malz's AoE, then get chased down. 3-0 exchange, almost 4-0. Ahri really failing her team it seems, always being the one that get caught.

Fnatic takes nashor, then heads to drake. Kog's too busy farming with no wards around, Fnatic ignores the drake and simply murders Kog.

Stream dies during a fight at top inhib turret (mid inhib already down). Doesn't matter, aTn gets predictably aced, perhaps one killed amongst Fnatic, game's over now.

I agree, but the pervading opinion of the TL forums for all games seems to be the 'Korean style' caster. While I'm sure they have game knowledge, only those who understand Korean would know that, the English speaking fans of theirs always cite their enthusiasm and excitement as to why they enjoy the casts. DotA/2's Tobi Wan has become the most famous caster for that game by emulating that style himself.

aAa(Blue) vs Sypher(Purple)

Bans:
aAa: Irelia, Morg, Ryze
Sypher: Karthus, Kennen, Shyv

Picks:
aAa: Janna, Udyr, Ashe, TF, Nid
Sypher: Shen, LS, Sion, Taric, Urgot

Edit: I know Janna is the go-to support right now, and support is a great FP, but man, giving up Shen+LS as 2nd+3rd for her seems like a lot of risk.
