They didn't take the tower... they got to second tier tower then recalled straight away? Jiji and SV didn't help take down first tier tower at all.

I'm pretty sure the Janna ult just saved CLG o.o

4 kills for inhib + inhib tower + 2 nexus towers and 1 kill.
Wierd trade.

Their goal was first tier tower, which they got, and they decided to take 2nd tower since EG was still bot/mid. They would have gotten it/more damage on it if EG decided to chase them off by going top, but instead EG went to roll down middle towers which caused them all to recall.

Viktor is strong vs Kennen.
You outpush him, get good harass, and if he tries to lighting rush you you can lay down stun and full combo and ruin him.

I don't understand your point. I don't imagine I know what they are thinking but it was a bad play, why are you trying to justify it?
CLG were way ahead, they could have denied dragon/taken it themselves if they were ready for it, they weren't. You don't need 4 players to take a tower if they knew that their whole team was taking dragon (see TF working his way to nexus).

Any reason they cover up the summoner spells? Seems silly to me.

To stop stream cheating. Knowing your opponents summoner spells is pretty strong.

So EG no longer has any of their original members save Salce? Kinda weird for me to see them without Dyrus, Dan, or Westrice.

The thing is, they need 3 of their original members to keep their Season 2 Circuit points. With Dyrus+Dan permanently gone, if they drop Westrice then they lose all circuit points.

They really should. This is a completely different team. I wonder if they can keep him as a sub and not lose points? 'Cause they might just try and do that until Westrice decides to play for a new team or retire for good.
edit: Interesting CLG strat. Saint never plays Amumu lol.

Saint has been practicing amumu for at least 2 weeks in korea.

Weird picks from CLG are they taking this seriously? Amumu, Orianna (does Jiji play Orinna?) and even Doublelift (who is not a fan of Graves). Didn't catch the bans, but I would think there were other options open. I guess they're practicing other champs which is good.

I can't say for certain I know what they were thinking either, but it wasn't a bad move by any means. And you can't compare a level 11 team vs a late game TF at taking towers. Who knows.

I think jiji played a really good orianna at the height of her brokeness, haven't seen him play her since though.

I've seen SV practice Amumu in solo queue but it's a total AoE/Aoe disable team.
Amumu ult, orianna ult/slow, Sona ult, Kennen ult. If they get a good engagement they'll wreck them. Badly timed kill timing on HotShot by Wings, he landed Q, flash ulted but was stunned under tower before he could use the follow up Q and/or it ran out of time.

Jiji was like the best orianna player when she was released. You basically had to ban Orianna or else jiji would crush you. Saint has been practicing amumu and I think chauster said he wanted saint to be able to play amumu at tournement level.

I'm late to the discussion but... I personally think that spec mode won't hurt streamers too much, when Ret started streaming in BWthe game had replays and people watched his stream anyway for his comments/reactions/music and most importantly - to see how does good player's point of view look like.
Also if you guys wanna test it pre-release it is available on PBE 
Currently the 5 featured matches are: - a normal 4v5 game - a custom 1v1 game - a custom 5v5 game - 2 games vs bots
gotta love how competitive is PBE!

EG insta kill sona waiting in ward vision. CLG flubs their ults, landing them pretty much only on mundo, and kennen ult gets blown out by janna. EG clean up easy.
