Looks like they are having some difficulty with LoL and SC2 overlapping? This SC2 finals are starting the same time as this? Is this a showmatch? http://www.twitch.tv/japanesports Nevermind, it's third place match for: http://leaguepedia.com/wiki/NVIDIA_Game_Festival_2013 lol. guess time to use this instead since the above stream seems to be forced to simulcast due to it being sc2 finals game: http://www.fengyunzhibo.com/tv/pluTGAgaoqing-4427sq27.htm | ||

Seeing as how he is the current VP of crunchyroll, I'd expect him to stick around in the LoL scene in other ways. Possible sponsorships/ crunchyroll team? Judging by the comments, it's not really that unlikely to occur. http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1emc56/tsm_jack_steps_down_as_gm/ Further down the thread, Travis(SotL) states this was unrelated to the news coming up. I wouldn't be surprised if he's involved heavily in the challenger circuit. He said recently in an interview that it is something he wants to see improved. | ||

Whoever taught her english has to have been a brit. Yes, very surprising. I thought the game was over after that 3-0 lead, but TPA's team fights were amazing. Tied 1-1, for what I believe is a bo3. | ||

Also it's quite interesting how different metagames develop. The Chinese are all about the massive initiation/pick, Koreans are the pushing meta, SEA plays much like KR does, and EU is quite mid-centric. And then their's NA, which unfortunately seems to be the runt of the litter. EDIT: Naut blue stolen. Gonna be one unhappy diver. | ||

I wasn't paying the most attention, but it definitely slipped through. | ||

I feel like they're missing so much farm o.o Yup, they swap lanes all the time, but time it so they lose the minimal amount of farm. Chinese carries are the best iin the world at finding farm. | ||

I feel like they're missing so much farm o.o The same thing occurs in LCS NA games. Don't know what you mean by this. Lane swapping can be chaotic due to people wanting a decent match up for their solo laners. You'll probably see a lot of it when a team has someone like Karthus to pressure the solo laner harder. In this case, they are pressuring Khazix. | ||

I just haven't really seen a bot lane swap 3 times in the first 5 minutes, looking at the CS they clearly aren't missing much, just felt weird to me lol | ||

What it essentially comes down to is lane swapping for pressure on the lane for their objective. It's just easier to explain if you point out that some champions are just not as good in 1v2 lanes. Karthus is the easiest example as he's really going to hurt from the 1v2 lane swap.

Eh I don´t really enjoy the ´we have an advantage lets randomly push lanes until a teamfight happens´ meta too much. So much passivity. Chinese teams farm a lot too but at least they know how to force objectives when needed. | ||
