Technically, though the picks weren't complete.

I'm happy with commentators trying to explain or justify to the viewers, but I don't believe they should interact with players unless absolutely neccesary.

On the other hand, they've had a very long day and an unusual start to the tournament, and you can tell so I can cut them some slack, but I still dun like it!

Why technically the picks were not complete? Both SK and CLG already picked their last hero.

OK! Here we go again, CLG send taric top yet again to support, he is with kennen right now, but moving towards mid on ocelote. meanwhile, that leaves gg to 2v1 with galio on bottom lane against the kog'ma/sona combot. Sivir is in mid with janna.

I've been alt tabbing away from the stream a bit, but I thought Hotshot called Sivir after the commentator typed "Really? You sure?". If he typed it before, then definately. If not, then no. Technically was my was of saying "I didn't quite see it but I'm whining anyway"

AP Janna worked pretty well for TSM to take game 1 from CLG in IEM GC, thought that time he was facing Salce's annie. I'm not sure what to think, as my LoL experience in ranked is rather poor. Someone provide me with some insight, please?

Roaming taric goes into SK's jungle finding amumu doing lizard. He steps up and scares him off, and gives the buff to kennen, who comes over to assist along with saint's gankplank. Amumu is force back to base early. jiji and taric return top lane and set up a gank on wicked's irelia and down she goes! First blood to CLG.

Janna's strength is her pushing pressure against poorer farmers mid. You just push the lane all day and force the mid to cs on tower while being ungankable. They countered with Sivir who is an even more hilarious farmer and can actually put some damage on the enemy laner/tower.

Sivir pushing hard in the mid lane against janna. She is under massive amounts of pressure, being forced to expend a lot of mana to keep both her and her tower safe. Taric is now roamed bottom to SK's blue, finding amumu yet again. The two teams crash the area, and now CLG are in position to take enemy blue. Amumu tries to steal it back, but misses, and is forced to flash to safety. CLG now have both blues.

Kog'Ma is comfortably in the lead in terms of CS, given that he has full support bottom without any pressure. Meanwhile, up top, wicked is just a bit behind, after taric has interrupted his lane quite a bit. Taric yet again is interrupting amumu lizard, and forces him to back away from it. He has been a very big thorn in the paw of SK thus far. CLG try to jump in on janna at mid, but good defensive moves from ocelote allow him to dodge a flash ulti from kennen.

CLG are eyeing mid tower, seeing SK tower being very low. Janna is beyond oom, and is going back. Amumu is left defenseless against two heros and the creep wave, and taric assists sivir to take the tower down. Meanwhile at bot lane, hotshot gets caught out of position, and sona combos with kogma to take him down! Dragon is still unclaimed by either team, but only CLG have it warded at the moment. CLG are pinging to get into position for it soon.
