If he doesn't take advantage of his superior jungle control and ganking power early game, he's naturally going to fall behind. He didn't really gank (despite Shushei being pushed way forward to Wickd's tower multiple times) and he didn't pressure Amumu's jungle. He just afk-jungled and in that matchup, that makes absolutely no sense to me when the other jungler has a way more powerful lategame than you. EU Jungle is their biggest weakness. EU Bruisers probably next after that. They simply don't play them as efficiently as NA teams. Compare Rain Man vs SK's Udyr. It's like night and day. | ||

Awesomely good games always had the issue with haters being afraid that their fav. games will be forgotten (i remember how much RA and TA fans hated SC, same with DOW, COH, SupCom fans - they all hated SC because of it's success). Some people just can't accept the fact that their game isn't the #1 game in the world (sorry SC but LoL's rise in popularity is in fact on the way for it to become the most played game - including competitive play - in the world) Agreed. What i don't understand is that I myself like playing both games and also love watching both. Why can't they accept the fact that both games can exist and its better for e sports. I think sc2 really pulled in a lot of childish fans, it wasn't like this in BW. | ||

Udyr can't fuck with Amumu too much though, is kinda the problem. Amumu clears too fast, and doesn't really lose outright to Udyr in a 1v1 fight. Then when they both hit 6 fighting a skirmish against Amumu is risky (esp in Amumu jungle) because you're asking for a skirmish to get Mumu ulted... which is bad when every lane is already inferior. Also, when he ganked Shushei (once) he got burned pretty badly, and Wickd failed his Q shot/Shushei dodged them. | ||

You won't understand unless you play Mumu and have to play against an LS/Cow. The problem was that they really shoulda swapped positions with Udyr; Udyr top LS jungle, much better ganks and much better lane presence. Just sort of mind-boggling for most of us. Re;KM comparison to Ashe, Ashe is picked because ECA is like arguably the single strongest skill in the game. The positioning punishment it affords is crazy. The downside is that her lane control is really weak... which is why ou saw her get bullied by a superior Trist (FB didn't help) and she also tend sto lose to Trist 1v1 so that random death in mid. Agree totally, I was 100% expecting Lee in jungle when watching the picks. Udyr would have turtled (h4h4) much better vs brand and lee sins ganks are pretty awesome. I still think Wickd didn't show much presence once a team fight actually broke out, no outstanding ultimates to knock a couple people around, he couldn't get to brand or annie to give them hard time. I feel like cyanide being caught by oce's wall so many times was the only thing keeping SK in that game for that long, as close at it ever was. | ||

Elementz likes Sona the best, etc... cait taric is strong in lane, but caitlyn really falls off in late game compared to other ad carries such as ashe or trist. ashe having much more useful utility, and trist having a shit ton more damage with her 90% AS buff. | ||

Compare Rain Man vs SK's Udyr. It's like night and day. Looking at the lineups for the respective teams, the two problems seem to be related, given that while US teams have players that play lane bruisers like Dyrus and Rain Man, and players that play jungle like TheOddOne and Saint, EU teams have the same players playing both lane tanks/bruisers and jungle tanks/bruisers--and end up good at neither. | ||

I feel like cyanide being caught by oce's wall so many times was the only thing keeping SK in that game for that long, as close at it ever was. IIRC Wickd ulted Amumu away a lot when Amumu tossed, which really fucked him up because he'd drop to like 50% hp or less on a whiffed ult. There was that one time before he got treads where he walked in, got kicked out, flashed back in, got stunned, then silenced, and like 10% before he could even try to cast a spell.

If Amumu has balls he can take blue -> enemy wraith -> enemy mini -> back down to wolves. | ||

I dunno why he used Lee Sin instead of the other way around because I don't think Wetdream's jungle Lee Sin is bad at all. | ||
