I always felt that the flat AD first was too strong to pass on, personally, although I don't play much trist. Shiv first has very different priorities on what it's doing in the early game than standard marksman play.

mr_tolkien is very irate that you called him, the great diamond up to 1 level top player, a low level or reddit person to have such opnions he finds your arguments laughable and calling teemo not a lane bully when he's a massive bully against lots of common top laners absurd but apparently he can't come up with a proper response so just bitches to me about it so ill redirecct the hate

Early BF implies you're getting it on ADC before the enemy gets it, but considering Trist's weak early game, the chances of you getting a BF before the opponent, is slim to none. That's like saying, "getting early Triforce is so good", well no shit, you got it early before anyone can build anything to deal with it. So instead you just play lane passive, until you get shiv, then you shove out wave, and go do other stuff. Similar to how mid lane works after the 7 minute mark, where midlaners just shove out their lane as fast as possible, and roam around and do stuff, without trading too much.

On a personal note I'd like to officially request, on behalf of mr_tolkien and the great french nation, that Velocirapture requests a name change to "Velocirapteur" as a homage to the glorious and cultured french language.
you may apply for name change in the following thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=3398

Just like English.
The good trad would be be «Velociravissement».

How are the featured streams decided? Just wondering how Qt and Cruzer are, but Kiwi isn't.

Please,
It is pretty conspiracy-theory-worthy that the time that Riot decides to do this is immediately after someone changed the Skin settings to Faker's account before the OGN finals (or so Faker claims). Personally I think they should have just released "Riven Riven" which looks exactly like Riven, as a 1 RP skin as a joke or something.

Did Faker use Battle Bunny in OGN? I didn't actually notice that, which is odd since that skin is an eyesore.

Apparently the OGN crew left it on that skin and faker is so used to skin not being changed he didn't notice it was on bunny until in game.

someone was on his PC and preselected skins on his account, which he didnt know until the game started. He didnt check the skins since he never uses them, so he started first game with a skin.
He told this in the interview after the games.

that's just what the man wants you to think happened.
