Every single korean team I've seen CLG scrim against has banned LS. I don't think he's all that special, he himself said he's going to step away from the champion a little, given the opportunity.

ya i was referring to the fight where double and jiji got 2v2 by ali and ahri and then the rest colapsed on hotshoot and sv after they chased nid.

just some random thoughts i had at the start of the week: We absolutely need and should enforce an Origami Anivia Skin, I dunno why thats not yet implemented. If you are unsure what to ban, ban the Sh-champs, Shaco Shen Shyvana, my bans are all in a straight line, awesome.
Apart from that, I have huge problems against Mordekaisers Mid. My goto-ap is Katarina or Ryze, with both i didnt do terrible well against es numero #1. Talking about ranked games in a 1500 elo range. With Katarina i cannot poke through the shield fast enough, and when he hits revolver my harass never sticks. ryze just gets heavily outpushed and when i m under my tower morde farms both wraiths camps while i m busy last hitting.

Kat is my go-to champ aswell, so.. Iknowthatfeelbro.jpg
Mordekaiser is weak early, pushes all game and becomes really hard to stop if he gets to his soft spot. Early duelists like Cassio work really well, LeBlanc shits on him if you play it smart and I honestly really like Ryze against him, too, just because QWQ tears through him like he's butter early on.

Basicly any champ beats morde early on, Katarina might even be the worst choise since E puts you in range for his Q and W. Herass the dude. Alot. AP Lulu mid also shits on Morde since your E sticks long enough for a free Q hit

So I just noticed on the PAX East Schedule that this year's LoL tournament is 5v5.
I may need a 5th for my team -- just a bunch of 1400-1600 decent players with good communication between each other. Last year I hooked up with a team from here and everything worked out great. Most teams are pretty garbage at events like these, it would be nice to tryhard it up just a little.
PM me if you're interested in that.

I don't remember the exact order of the picks so yeah...not very accurate.
First game they had janna/kog, we had lulu/ashe I felt like i couldn't harass kog very effectively because of kog w punishing quite hard and also janna shield. As soon as kog hit 6-7 the harass was really hard for us to handle.
Second game they had taric/graves, we picked sona/ez. I felt like our sona pick was completely destroyed here since taric could just zone me (sona) with stun and the damage from graves was like a pot every single time. The armor off of graves+taric was really too much to handle as well.
btw im speaking by my point of view (support) Game 1 I don't know if there is anything you could have done. Ashe's lane phase is pretty rough to begin with and I find that she doesn't mesh well with Lulu. And unfortunately I don't believe that just taking it to a farm war is advantageous especially if they had a good "protect the Kog" team, in which case a farmed Kow'Maw is going to rip through your team like a hot knife through butter. You pretty much have to get ahead before Janna hits 6, and I mean REALLY ahead. Jungler intervention probably needed if only to try and get Kog off the creeps. If your AD manages to abuse her range and get some crits while arcane barrage is down maybe you can force him off the creeps and zone, but Janna shield plus the fact that Lulu similarly can't sustain makes it iffy. Now that I think about there might be a chance to get aggressive against them level's 2-4, but I dunno you'd have to execute really well and hope to get lucky. Game 2 Sounds like poor brush control to me. You probably need to buy a pink ward level 1 and make sure you keep his brush warded and yours unwarded. Force taric to be on the back foot. As long as you have vision of him you can play mindgames and always sit at the edge of his stun range. Basically you can bait him into walking into Ez q's and have to level his heal and waste his mana, making his armor buff less and making him unable to become aggressive. Graves is the wildcard here, if he decides to dash +Q you early you will take a ton of damage, but note that when he does this to you, he blew his cooldowns and Ez should be able to punish him for it. At worst if you can't do that, Sona and Ez early game burst should be enough to outright kill graves or Taric if they want to make an issue of you farming, and taking it to a farm war is to your advantage because Taric's lategame is awful. Hmmm, I think the gist of it is that you have to be on the same page as your Ez like all the time. My roomate mains Ezreal and I've played more Sona/Ez than I care to admit, but basically you bait and kite as much as possible and force Taric to be passive either by making him level heal to deal with your harass or by denying him vision and forcing a farm war.
yeah the ashe matchup was really rough since it seemed like we really couldnt do much other than cc kog and run whenever he turned on his W.
For the Sona one, i was trying really hard to avoid the taric who is zoning me hard with the stun. To be honest the first few exchanges were done outside of the bush. I can get my Q off on graves if im lucky with no damage, but by the time I land my powerchord taric is usually able to run in range and stun me ;;.
Thanks for the tips though, I will try buying pink wards vs taric next time and see if I can abuse that more.

She wins by spamming Q and getting free harass on them

Saints ls DID win wcg pretty much singlehandedly. He probably is the best ls in the world atm, and ls is a real annoting champ to play vs.

I don't care what saint says, she's still strong as fuck in the jungle and a better counterjungler earlier, atleast from my experience she doesn't get as low in the jungle.

so are any TLers going to PAX East and looking to do the LoL tourney? Just looked at the schedule and am thinking I'd like to play in it if I could get a decent team together.

Mundo might be better in a broader way, but he doesn't have Shyvana's mobility early on and the crazy engages late game, as well as the godlike nashor pressure.
Both are good tbh, but I prefer Shyv's skillset in the jungle. The W destroys small camps, the Q destroys objectives, that's all you need :p
