Yeah it is definitely "luck" and "stupidity" that they know how many people they can kill considering they play correctly.Like dlift played that 1v2 vs jayce/sona like garbage but he still got it.Playing smart isn't the same as playing safe.

Even as a DL fan, I think there's a little bit of luck that plays into it. I think a lot of it has to do with his mentality, and therefore he's always willing to try the 1v2. If he loses most people go "oh typical doublelift gets picked off like scrub with no map awareness", if he gets the 1v2 "DOUBLELIFT IS A GOD".
yea but he has a point, playing like a pussy is in a lot of cases worse. I mean I personally feel like if you can't trust youself to flash crescendo 10 times out of 10, there's some luck involved, but maybe he does, one thing DLift has never lacked is confidence.
Well there is a luck factor of crit which I overlooked at first but I don't remember a time when someone made a huuuuuge play just because he got 3 crits in a row with a zeal :D.
Also if you play against some people A LOT you will be able to tell where they aim their skillshots and when they use them most of the time.Sona ult isn't instant so I am pretty sure if you have good reaction time you should be able to flash it 10/10.

I really wanted elementz to do this and mind game out CLG's flashes, but he would have to not have a reputation for waiting forever to ult after a flash.
Just bought Kassadin and holy crap now I wonder why people don't play this guy more often in soloQ.
So much dumb shit this guy is capable of getting away with if he survives decently after lvl 6 or isn't facing an AD mid assassin or 1v2 lane (highly unlikely at my level).

The regen stats are fairly useless because it is so expensive. By this I mean once you get the item completed the laning phase (where regen really matters) is usually over. Also, you can buy rylais for 50 more gold, 150 more health, 30 more AP, and the slow. Why need a turret blocking active when you can just kill them before they get to tower.
Except Kassadin. Great on Kassadin.
i build it out of philo on support malphite, usually second or third item after frozen heart/abyssal
basically I see it as a niche buy for backdoorers and for initiators on a serious budget

So, been watching TI3. Apparently ingame numbers for the losers bracket finals is something like 250k, plus the english stream is 200k atm. This doesn't count any of the translated streams or the people watching it live...
I honestly really do wonder at this point if LCS Playoffs can compete with this---the ability to watch ingame REALLY seems to boost the numbers. I want to go back and actually read the PX v whoever conversation people were having about this, but it might be a pain in the ass to find.
