I think the definitions of Brusier/Tank overlap a lot. Malph and Galio can both do good damage too. Not as much as Cho but still.

That's just arguing semantics.

A heal, a low-CD AoE CC, and a support shield that doubles as a map control spell hardly count as "only good for taking damage". I'd classify Shen as a support.
TBH the 1-5 system for categorizing champions on the scale of hard carry->hard support used in DotA is probably more informative than some of these buzzwords that people use these days.

It's a problem with the term tank. The fact that its a catch-all for at least 3 different categories of champions that do drastically different things just makes discussing the game more confusing.

Thanks guys!

He is playing. He was commentating the third place match and that's what they were referring too.

He means for commentating, not playing. Elementz commentated the SK v EHOME matches, and now he has to play in the finals, so we're wondering if we'll get an SK player to commentate the finals.

Elementz is playing in the finals. He just dropped in to co-cast the 3rd place finals.

Lol. Elementz was helping to cast the 3rd/4th place match. They are asking who will help Zenon cast since Elementz will be playing.

Pre-game interviews coming up on our big stage. Chinese audience looks very excited...

Honestly, the term tank really doesn't fit this game at all. Because no champion's function is solely to take damage. They either provide defensive utility through CC/shields (e.g. Shen), damage/offensive utility (lots of people), or initiation. Which means it's probably easier to categorize them as bruisers/melee carries, initiators, and supports, rather than the ambiguous (and quite frankly pointless) catch-all term "tank". A champion whose kit is only good for taking damage is a bad champion.
You're basing your idea of a tank off of mmos, and since this isn't a pve game of course that idea doesn't work. In this game, a tank is somebody who is there to be unkillable unless focused extremely hard while also putting out a good amount of disruption.

OK then the term "disruption" is also ambiguous.
Again, I don't see how trying to use a catch-all phrase "tank" is any more useful than using the appropriate specific terms for what they actually DO, which is acting either as initiators, melee carries/semicarries, or as supports.

misaya: CLG is very strong but we believe that chinese LoL is very strong and we will play confidently

There is a BS amount of lag on the stream now, during interviews, ffs Own3dtv wtf host better service.
|
misaya:after we saw the match we did get information from it, we watch a lot of their games normally, we have our strategies, everyone should watch the match and see
|
holy fuck this translator sucks
|
the on-stream translations are a bit off... for example, for the second question the interviewer didn't translate the bit about them already having seen CLG's matches before
