I can totally see CLG counterpicking TF against these guys, just to mess with them. AP TF doesn't work well anymore at high elo either because as was mentioned he requires so much co-ordination now, you can't just sit in lane and gank as soon as the opportunity arises now, you have to be planning it ahead of time, and you can no longer backdoor with impunity because of the range on ulti no longer allowing you to get into the teamfight instantly. | ||

This is exactly why it was a good idea for CLG to throw away their game against WE - so they now know exactly what's coming and have a strategy to counter it. It's already been confirmed that CLG did NOT throw their game against WE. Stop with the misinformation. | ||

He doesn't do sustain like Vlad or Cass. He's not terrible or anything but there are just better APs to pick and I don't think these games will see a resurgence of him. If anything these games will be a reminder of why you don't over-extend in lane. yeah. the team WE had really punished overextending with noc. and tf and galio tele though i must say. i've been really impressed with the asian team's tele ganks. early on. though i think they waste the teles later on in the game though :\ | ||

All the foreign teams have to do is not play retarded in lane though and they'll be ok. | ||

I'm not saying that AP TF isn't the OP bullshit he was. I'm saying he's viable on a poke comp. He's viable on a team with multiple TPs. I'm saying that Jiji is the best TF player in the world and if they get the chance, I can see him picking TF. Though, to be honest, it seems to me that these days its Chauster and Hotshot that are carrying CLG, Jiji is just doing his job and being a solid AP player. edit: Also, I'm 100% certain that Chauster is gonna play Urgot/Caitlyn this entire tourenment. Counter ganks with absurd early game. What do? | ||

Being good in solo Q and being good in competitive play are two totally different things all together. Like ashe is a shit pick in solo Q majority if not all the time, but is still a great pick in team games. TF still works in competitive play as well. EDIT - im kinda sleepy so not sure if this is what you were talking about. If you were JUST talking about solo Q then nvm | ||

lol edit: I just realized picking 2-0 or 2-1 in a best of 3 sounds pretty stupid since I just picked half of the options. I'd lean on 2-0 being the most likely. | ||
