How is gold differential related to level of play? Have you been watching, CLG has been pushing as 5 for the last 15 minutes, so no time to CS. Gold has come entirely from turrets. CS and gold isn't that important to a poke comp. | ||

Gold has come entirely from turrets. CS and gold isn't that important to a poke comp. Of course, but if 4not didn't just outpick themselves with terrible heroes, it would be a different story. Almost always the team going 9-1 in turrets with 3 inhibs down is not going to be the team with a gold deficit. If they still have some lack of gold, there is a major flaw in play going on. Gold can still wins games and if 4Not hadn't lost all 3 inhibs and had a better late game composition, they could still have turned it around. | ||

Free dragons are great, but fighting over it is typically terrible, especially when you consider that a single creep wave essentially has the same gold value as dragon, and IRRC a greater EXP value. You cant win by getting dragons, but you sure as hell can lose the game by doing it. Uhh...no? A creep wave is worth about 130 gold. Dragon is 190 gold per person + 25 for the killer. That's 7.5 creep waves. XP is about 270 for a creep wave and is 400 for Dragon. I agree that Dragon is overrated, but throwing around random guesses at gold value that are pretty clearly wrong doesn't advance your case. | ||

They don't need more gold, they just need to not lose lane so hard that the enemy team gets fed. They just played really safe lanes and got CS. They played crazy passive even with Maokai jungler until right around the 22 minute mark where they grouped up and started pushing down lanes. That's how their strategy works for poke comp. | ||

I actually love watching CLG poke comps though because things are always tense and can go wrong with one mistake. That's quite true. Played right, there's very little you can do against a properly played poke comp. However, there's so many things that can go wrong playing the poke comp. One bad teamfight and the game is generally over. They need to keep disengaging correctly, while the other team being poked on needs to commit like there's no tomorrow. Everything on a razor's edge. | ||
