Yup, faker TOTALLY wore a skin in the last game of OGN, and definitely didn't only accidentally wear that skin in game 1. YUP

He casted pain vs isurus and was.... not nice to them to say the least.

He gave credit when credit was due to be fair. I mean what can you even say when Ori is shitting on their whole team and no one is buying MR

Where does the sale mention him using the skin in the last game? It's just the skins of the series overall, not of game 3, they even state it first thing.

The point was ( I believe ) that Faker had never used a skin in professional play up until this series. It just happened to be BB Riven. He is suggesting that Riot asked him to wear the skin so they could use it for the sale.

Faker used a skin for the first time ever on Riven in game 1 and then didn't use a skin ever again.

He used Battle Bunny Riven

First set. I recommend to watch it from the very beginning, crowd is absolutely hilarious and brutal. Never heard a whole audience boo out a team like that before in eSports.

I don't think it's that far-fetched. Their biggest drawback is the lack of exposure to international competition and gameplay, so they're kind of stuck in the same mode of play by being in one of the more region-locked regions. From what I've seen, the LA scene players are decent. I don't think it's a stretch to put them on par with a mid-tier LCS team if they had more chances to play.

well admittedly I don't know much about the scene, but they got hyped so hard to be the only team capable of beating Dig and Mill coming into this IEM and it's weird to see them drop out against a Brazillian team which I didn't even know before this tournament ( ok I only know Pain and CNB anyway)

portugese stream actually has more viewers than the english one =P

Think of it as the Chinese scene - no one knew of any Chinese teams besides WE and iG and neither of them made it to World's. That's not to say that WE and iG aren't good (well, they were kind of lackluster), but it just means there are other strong teams in isolated regions that just aren't as famous.

If anything, a team losing to another team from their region in an international tournament is the least indicative of their strength. Intra-region games tends to be a lot more volatile. Just look at team-kills in individual leagues in Broodwar, or at Royal beating OMG at World's.

Regions that have strong internal competition also tend to represent stronger, healthier regions.

Some of the games this tournament have been... really questionable.

Like that game W7 v Lyon, Trist gets a double kill and immediately picks up an Avarice Blade and a Brawler's Glove. And Jason Kaplan is trying justify it. No. Just stop.

I almost regret bringing words like "timing" into the world of LoL. People throw it around and have no fk clue wtf they're actually talking about.

Eh, what's the alternative? Zeal?

More money #1. He felt like he was ahead enough that he didn't need the extra combat stats, and would rather get a bit of extra gold. It builds into Shiv anyways, it's not -that- outlandish, especially not in a game where Weedwizard Darien graces us with stuff like this... http://gambit-gaming.com/en/article/255

Like, first buy he gets Avarice Blade. Into a double DBlade Lucian. And then got first item Shiv with no AD items. Zzz.

I don't think it's nearly as bad as you're making it out to be. Trist pushes the lane so he might as well just push faster to avoid awkward lane positions and just having it reset at tower, and it gives his support more freedom to run around.

Disclaimer: I didn't see the game, but there are really so many builds worse than Shiv first...

I actually remember hearing a pro talking about possible trist build paths, and said that shiv first isn't so bad, and is pretty comparable to BotRK, it also prevents awkward weak 2 item timing with BotRK with IE. The only major issue is missing weaker laning phase in comparison to BotRK.

shiv first trist is a strong splitpush build that sidesteps her lacking midgame. i believe it was first introduced to high level pro play in ogn summer 2013 and has been fairly standard on korean trist since then, although i can't recall enough trist games to be too confident in the 'standard build' claim

they wouldnt have had a mid skin if not some mysterious person went to fakers tournament PC and preselected skins on champions, so that they would load into game if he didnt deselect them.
