The Chinese teams all seem to play the same. Get really aggressive, gank like crazy, dominate early game so the other team is way behind when/if it gets to late game.

SK and CLG should either try to do the same thing or even better pick safe lanes and build a team for late game. They don't need to pick lanes that will win or dominate, they just need lanes where they can farm safely and then not get themselves ganked.

Will be interesting to see if SK/CLG can run a safe team. I'd like to see what happens with CN vs. Westerners when the Chinese teams don't get the kills and dominance they like early game.

Why do you say this, it wasn't the akali pick that lost them the game.


I say this because in about 90% of the games I have ever seen Ocelot play Akali he loses them because the enemy team either

1) Counter-Picks him.

or

2) Shuts him down so hard that he's down 50+ CS at 20 minutes or has x/4+/y by 20 minutes.

Last game, no the Akali pick didn't matter, but if they had a Traditional AP pick instead of the akali like say Annie or Brand (i think orhi was banned? I'll check in a sec) that there team fight would have been much much better and more than likely brought them back into the game when they almost evened it at about 15 minutes.

That's such a baseless statement, they were so far behind and have you ever tried laning as brand or annie vs. a fed karthus? It's not a very nice feeling.

But Akali has a better time vs a fed Karthus? You are right in the sense that it might have been mostly irrelivant, but how does akali farm at ALL if the Karthus has the lane control he had? Even just being brand allows him to get 3-5 of the CS AND trade with Karthus much better than akali could have pre 6.

and why did they get behind? because akali got greedy and flashed into all five and gave up first blood. Ocelot does not play smart when he's on akali.

Did you see why they were so ahead? Because Oce flashed into 5 of them to ignite Garen even though he should have known that Garen would survive. That then baited the rest of his team to do something.

Plus he would have been totally useless in teamfights anyway. And vs CLG Cho just shat on him in every single team fight.

Not really. The reality is that Annie's AoE engage and Brand's laning potential is bar none. He might still lose his lane, but ... I mean, he might be the best laning phase mage in the game.

Yeah, they pretty much all play the "full pressure gank" strategy, which as someone said yesterday is ironic because in Dota it's the opposite - it's the Western teams that play "full pressure gank" and the Chinese teams who play safe.

I'd like to see a good, safe, late-game strategy from SK or CLG. They should have the experience advantage there over Chinese teams. So, as they say in SC 2, they should be looking to drag it to the late-game.

Once akali gets 6 she wins the lane even if she is stupidly far behind.

I'm sorry but this is so illogical it frustrates me, If he did it on Akali he would do it on brand too. It was a mistake on his part, the champion didn't put bloodlust into him.

SK Picks: Galio, Urgot, Nocturne, Brand, Janna
eHOME Picks: GP, Sona, Vayne, Gragas, Lee Sin



Zenon: "Brand is like Annie 2.0, right?"
Ele: "Well, not really... Annie is more burst initiation, while Brand is more burst dps. If you have a good initiaite, his ult does so much."

Ele: "They have... Vayne, Gragas and Lee Sin...? That's a lot of knock back. Super surprised they didn't take Janna... Maybe their support player dislikes Janna. It's why CLG never runs Amumu. SaintV just doesn't like Amumu."

I've heard Saint say that about Amumu a lot - he thinks he's really weak because he requires his early game to go well in order to be a mid to late game force, and that's not really a guarantee at high levels of play.

With this lineup SK needs perfect teamwork to pull this off while how well Gragas doing will be the big factor for Eh in this game.
