Since 90% of people on TL forum are americans everybody gonna be voting for CLG  I would say SK since im European, but in all honesty I would like to see CLG to win, since they are alot better to watch.

Hotshot seems to have fixed his derp now. He's really evolved since Dreamhack.

Fuck off with the ads already. You had like 30 minutes of nothing and you play none, yet during picks and bans you spam them.

SK bans urgot? Planning to run Caitlyn since Chauster doesn't seem comfortable on Kog?
ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and CLG bans Kog why. Just shot themselves in the foot now with that Caitlyn pick.

Inb4 Nidalee not banned again.
|
|
Uhhh, if you are CLG and have second pick, why on EARTH would you ban kogma last without cait being banned already? Kogma is the only champ that can go toe to toe with her in lane, possibly urgot, both which were banned.

Am I missing something, SK banned Nid first did they not?

Because FOTM declares that the second a hero is slightly nerfed you must instantly go find another hero. Really, people are idiots. And WE is proving that 100% K go play AP TF and dominate games. It's not as easy as it looks here. I'm not talking about low ELO, I never saw him do well at low elo. It was people like Jji that did well with him FYI Elementz says that TF is still strong. 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. 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
I have to disagree on the Ashe comment. She is a greate pick for solo q in low and high elo. You just have to play safer and farm no matter what. In low elo, games mostly go over the 30 min mark and it is easy to farm up with ashe to hit like a train in lategame. An other advantage she gives is the initiate. In low elo people are either playing rambo-style or are too scared to initiate, even the tanks, so if you hit a good arrow, even the bad players know what to do then.
In high elo solo q, you might not have communication over skype or ts, but players generally know how to protect a carry and they know who is supposed to get the farm going safely, so i dont see your point there.
With twisted fate its a little different. As you said in arranged games either tf ap or ad can do a good job. And even in solo q both can be viable, but you have to be good at playing him and you have to know, that you will have to lead your team and communicate a lot. For ganks a stun plus some decent damage is mostly enough to secure the kill. And if your solo q mates know what it means if you ping a target and they start to position themselves before you activate your ultimate, it can work really well too.

I'm like 90% certain that Chauster doesn't like or doesn't feel comfortable on Kog. In which case, let Chauster run Brand and jiji run Kog.
edit: Riot, please nerf Caitlyn. She's the bane of bottom lane and is making it more boring than when everyone played Ashe/Corki.

Kog is alot better than cait, maby not the first 5 lvls but after that he dominates cait. Urgoth just got banned to counter clg ad carry

Where do you get this idea? TL was founded by Europeans and has an extremely large European following.
