Also, anyone know what happened to that guy who used to be #1 all the time on TT rankings? Haoz? He still plays TT. Makes a team, gets it to rank 1 and deletes it and restarts. His ranked stats are hilar due to this. o_o lol too ez for him I guess. Why doesn't he ever get seen in competitive play? LoL needs more 3v3 tournaments :o, though even I hate it because it's boring.
Because the map is fucking broken, there's way too much pressure on dragon and it's far too difficult to defend against early ganks. Jungle routes are subject to major RNG as well.

Dunno about Taiwanese, but I think we gotta look out for the top Chinese teams very soon. WE is so damn strong. They had a relatively poor showing in the Go4LoL Asia tournament, but they were playing on 200ms ping.

Do tell, what is the best pick against Darius:X

He should win every auto trade. you can catch W at an angle that darius can't respond to it but it's at the corner of the arc not directly in front. if he goes to pull you, it's pretty obvious, and you can just silence him and run, once you both hit 6, darius should NEVER be able to do anything. since your ult allows you to take half his life for free, and is on such a low CD. Also, being able to just W a wave and clear it means you can ignore darius altogether for parts of the game, which severely hurts him, since in order for him to get cs he has to put himself in W range, which you will be using to clear the waves anyway. as for auto attack trades, attack Q after a W for talon will deal more than attack W after pull for darius.

I think it was 5HIT that said Shyvana wrecks Darius, and in the 1 time I've played the matchup as Shyshy, this held true.

I dunno, I just free farmed and then pressed W every time Darius tried to fight me. Auto->Q and the dude ran away because he lost the trade.
I could see it being more difficult against a good Darius because I got a lot of free chasing damage in almost every time, but I feel like Shyvana traded well with him assuming W is up and just slaughtered him when E's armor shred on him.

How do you ever get a single CS? Also, how do you deal with him just pulling you after the silence wore off? There's nothing stopping him from just following you.
Talon is great against a lot of AP champions because most of them lack the tools to punish you for E-AA-Q-Wing them. Darius can simply wreak havoc on you after your combo and there's little you can do. Also, I'd like to see how your ultimate takes half of his health and how that would be relevant with it being on a 75s CD at 6.
You can't clear waves with your W for a long time, and even if you could, you lack the mana to do so frequently if you ever plan on fighting Darius.
Not sure what to say. I thought it was pretty common knowledge a lot of bruisers flat out counter Talon because of their tendency to build armor. What are you going to do after he got Tabi+Wriggle's?

Please name 3 of those matchups. Yorick excluded, because fuck that guy. I can see Kennen winning easily, but then again, Kennen has no BAD matchups per say. I'm genuinely interested, because you seem to have no issues with Darius while the rest of the world is complaining about his retarded laning phase against Melees.

Renekton and Fiora have been mentioned here, I guess you could add Lee Sin as he has the tools to dictates how and when to engage/disengage, amongst others.

i got wrecked vs a nidalee as darius so she might count >_>

Lot of stange stuff has been going on at aAa and Sypher. Reports about splitting up, player leaving etc. Now I read a post on reddit about how this could have ended up:
http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/uc67p/in2lol_kickoff_tournament_featuring_clgeu_m5_navi/c4u94lu
aAa = SWEGIRLX(top),sOAZ(mid),Linak(jungle),lyumi(ad),Lounter(sup) Sypher = MoMa,nRated,YellOw,hydrq, and last one changed couple of times.
nothing is official tho
Very interesting if true. We will see at the next tournaments.
edit: posted in wrong thread, sry

Ren,fiora,Lee,wu,Talon (IMO), Swain,Shy, Yorick, Mundo, GP, jax, Kenn, Malphite.
don't know too much about how nid lanes, since i never see her. but knowing spear and her heal, maybe.
of course these pick ranges from viable and powerful, to putting a character in a less useful lane than normal, to bad characters.

Renekton I can see, Fiora I haven't tried yet, even though I guess if she manages to parry his W that would work out well. I still don't see her outdamaging him, but I wouldn't know for sure. I've played against Lee twice and managed to tear him apart, just because it didn't seem to matter he can pick his engagements well because there simply was no good time for him to engage at all. That doesn't neccessarily say much about the MU per say, but that's how it went for me.
I have no idea how Wukong, GP and Jax wouldn't get trashed, though, especially GP. Thanks for providing those matchups nontheless, I'm sure some of them work just fine. Swain, Kennen probably trash him, but then again, it was the melees I saw struggling. Nidalee is probably better off going AD instead of AP, which puts her in the awkward position that she HAS to get near him to deal any significant damage post 6.

wu and GP do extremely well building tanky, which gives them advantages over darius. winning you lane and having positive matchups aren't always about kills you know. GP has an added advantage of being able to kite darius.
