I guess it just depends on how well/often Jiji can land his balls on Akali's face :D

I agree fully that he should learn Kog. I can't tell if you're agreeing with me or questioning me. I'm not just basing this off nothing though, I promise! After IEM Cologne when Kog was picked/banned in like every game after bigfatjiji played him Chauster was streaming and bought Kog on the WiseQuoter account saying something like, "I should probably practice him..." Combined with the fact that I don't think Chauster has ever played Kog in a tournament game once. There have been plenty of games just in this tournament alone where it made more sense for CLG to pick up Kog and if I can realize this as a scrub I'm sure CLG realizes it. Regardless, it looks like CLG was smart enough to ban Caitlyn this game. Not sure why SK banned Kog though lol. Who played Kog WCG 2010? During the Qualifiers, was it EG or CLG? | ||

They just banned him, because that is what you are supposed to do, but they must not know about Chauster's inexperience. And, I wasn't questioning you, I was more questioning Chauster's work ethic hurting his team. It's like protoss in SC2 saying for an entire year "you know I should REALLY learn to use this warp prism thing, I have a feeling it's gunna be important...". Once people figured all the bullshit out, toss are like "damn, I guess I have to learn this other extra thing that is really hard to master in order to be 100% competitive". | ||

Well that's partially due to CLG not doing too hot overall. SV wasn't able to get the gold he needs to really take advantage of Lee Sin's crazy scaling. | ||

Akali dominated up to mid game but then the other team got mr and she didn't do too much. But maybe it's also her team left her alone a few times when she jumped in. | ||

She should have just built a lichbane instead and done more physical... | ||

Not to mention Akali rushed a GA as well. Lichbane would've been much better and cheaper. Instead of going Triforce/GA, the Akali should've gone for Rylais/Lichbane and she would've done much better imo... | ||

Yeah, I love Chauster to death. He's probably my favorite pro. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that CLG tends to take competitive LoL a bit less serious than other teams and they also tend to be really arrogant. Still, for the love of winning, learn to play Kog after this tournament Chauster. | ||

Akali built an insanely fast guardian angle, straight after her gunblade, and ended up not doing enough damage. I remember she dove in down near enemy ghouls and got separated from zilian, resulting in her dying for no reason. Game went downhill from there, and someone translated chat of akali saying "if we do not hurry, I'll soon be useless". They tried to rush a baron shortly after, failed, and lost the game about 5 minutes later. | ||
