I mean, nidalee is almost necessary to ban, cho galio and keeping in mind LP jax takes care of hotshot. SV is NASTY with his lee sin and udyr (In particular his udyr. He's carried CLG everytime i've seen him with it, or if not THE nasty one at least one of them.) Bigfatlp and orianna? Eww. and if they dont have firstpick and they can counterpick with a kassadin? Eww. Chauster there's no point in banning. You'll screw over your own AD carry as well, since he can play cait, kog, urgot, ez, MF, to all almost equal things... The bans from WE are very difficult to think of, because you'll see a TF ban as one of the 6, which means that nidalee and Udyr have to be banned or picked immediately, and they favor gangplank soooo much. This also means counterpicking or first picking cho or galio for top lane... and this would involve something more ridiculous because you'd be fucking with your own team comp... best thing i'd guess? Ban Udyr, nidalee, and cho, let bigfatlp have orianna, and counterpick against cho/galio top lane. Pick nocturne for your own jungle, keep ezreal and either ali/taric bot lane again, preferably ali. if you pick galio to go against their cho'gath, he has to be comfortable with the flash-in ulti, or have ali be your initiator again, or have gragas be your top to go against hotshot and simply go for the full on ability of knocking a team apart and then using nocturne's ulti to get in on them, then ali's flash knock-up and either gragas's ulti to tear them all apart, or initiate after gragas's ulti has been thrown to get 1 kill and make it a 5v4. Sound confusing? EXACTLY. Feel how WE is working about it? X3 CLG has such a huge lineup of playable champions as their top teams that its SO difficult to go against them. Also, <3 you too casters! :D | ||

Saint is the MVP simply because its the equivalent of a hipster plat player going solo mid vs a 200 elo player. He knows how to farm effectively, and most importantly, what to DO with that farm. Euros are too focused on building tank/support out of jungle and thus lose the ability to have 4 fed carries, even snoopeh said that he needed special farm from mid to consider building damage, whereas saint just straight up goes deeps no matter what and can STILL out tank the enemy team. Asians are closer in terms of carrying out of the jungle, but they are VERY snowbally (fidds, GP) and it shows when they struggle. that is true. and they counter jungle a lot more too. they probably would have got the blue at the start if fiddle was there. saint, oddone, jatt are just so good at the jungle. | ||

Focusing Jax doesn't work too well since he's so damn tanky that the entire team becomes vulnerable to the rest of the enemy team for too long. A fed Jax needs to fuck up really badly to die without having set up a multi-kill in the process and good players will almost never do that. | ||

Downtime in live LoL tournaments is stupidly long. edit to addon about jungling: I agree completely about Saint's jungle being a step ahead of everybody else in these games. I don't expect a fiddle to keep up in cs w/ an udyr, but he has to be using his ults for ganks whenever possible. I think nearing in on 20 minutes fiddle was 0/0/3. | ||

Yep, Jiji plays an incredibly good Zilean and showed why Zilean is such a popular pick in the NA competitive meta. Unlike the previous game where they picked Zilean this time they actually had serious threats to use his ult on with both Jax and Kog. Really if HS wasn't doing so well Jiji could just shift his ults to chauster and still wipe the floor with them. If WE doesn't ban Zilean this next game I think they'll lose. | ||

Being able to 1v5 lategame doesn't create gameplay or teamplay; it discourages it. I think his lategame should be flattened a bit to allowed for more exciting lategames and to force Jax to not play recklessly. Edit: Daniel said it great when he said that Riot doesn't want DotA-style power curves where a carry can 1v5 and pretty much make every other type of hero feel irrelevant. Jax is one of those outlying champs, that despite its possible counters, goes against Riot's philosophy of making the game winnable at all stages of the game. That's not entirely true. Why Zenon said that the double AP pick would have been better is because Jax is very susceptible to AP burst, particularly in the early and mid-game. You can simply blow him up very quickly, and if he chooses to build tanky after Hextech/Guinsoo, then you sacrifice the damage to 1v4 or 5. The underlying brilliance in that lineup was the zilean coupled with the jax. Jax played that reckless because he always had a get out of jail free card. | ||

Really good game, and tournaments like this should show that Morgana and Lee Sin nerfs weren't exactly needed, as even though they are banned commonly, it really matters about the team composition, and not just the single champion. I agree with you in someways, like in solo queue I love having a fiddles on my team but all the fiddlesticks picks (rhyme) in this tournament have been real duds and I think this is because of how easily shutdown fiddlesticks can be with proper warding/teamwork. Udyr completely took advantage of fiddlesticks pathetic farming, while in solo queue fiddlesticks can make up for his slow farming by farming noobs who don't ward. Same with teamfights, fiddlesticks ult is a lot less effective because CLG always knows its coming where as in solo queue there are a lot of derps and you the "SURPRISE" fiddlesticks ult really hurts. | ||
