They had to force the team-fight to stop Shen split-pushing, but got caught way too badly by inSec's ultimate. Bad positioning cost them the game more than the call in my opinion.

I remember watching broodwar from the TL torrent site, and I would torrent matches that happened.

That looked like desperation baron more than anything else. Comp was too predictable from WE IMO.

They had a good team fighting team that survived through the laning phase due to Troll's early game presence, but threw the advantage away with subpar team-fight execution, and had no way of coming back apart from having good team fights, which they kept failing at. WeiXiao was leagues above Score, but apart from him, nobody from Team WE looked that good for me, there's a reason they slipped from being the best team in the region.

They could use the top laner for GIANTS Samux, or TessLaa

Ocelote and Xpeke as solo laners could work.

I have a question for our leet diamond+ players regarding minion waves.
How does one best manipulate a minion wave to make sure it will push against the enemy lane as a big clump?
For example, lets say we're in the mid game. Enemy bot lane tier 1 tower is down and there's a lot of posturing going on mid and top. I want to go down to bot lane, clear out minions real fast, and then go back to the posturing with the knowledge that if the enemy team doesn't do anything about it, our minions will push on their tier 2 tower in bot.
What's the best way to do that? Do you just kill as many minions as you can as fast as you can, or is there some trick to ensuring that your minions will clump up and push as an oversized wave?

Freeze lane until the siege unit comes. Just don't autoattack the minion, try to last hit as late as possible even if you have the ability to 1,2shot a minion.

I've been thinking about why i enjoy NA LCS more than EU.
The level of play is very similar in my opinion but i think what makes NA more fun to watch is how much people are invested in the teams and the players and their strong reactions everytime someone succeeds or fails.

??? That's not what I heard at all. From what I hear the pro teams in Asia have something called "the slow push" where they kill one - two waves of ranged creeps (or melee creeps) I forget which one but leave the others up when the lane is pushing against them in a long lane. This way their reinforcements take awhile to reach you but yours build up trying to kill the melee line. This causes your ranged creeps to "double up" on a wave which starts snowballing the wave super hard.

I can't explain what it is but at least online there is a far small response to EU LCS compared to NA. Just look at the LR threads and write-ups. EU is lucky to get even half the activity of NA.

Apparently someone picked Shaco @OGN. I go ahead and assume that he was played as a splitpush-only champ again. Anyone mind posting this Shaco's build, please?
