I don't think you've seen EG vs TSM scrims

every single game.

they don't have room to ban maokai

That is 2 champions you listed, so just ban Maoki as third? They have to do something to change up what TSM has been doing, and they aren't. Sure, there are other good champions to ban, but I think it is pretty clear they don't know what to do against this maoki. He's been used 4 straight games with no answer. If you don't know how to beat him, you aren't beating him.

Then they leave Zilean open for Regi.

You make it sound like it's so easy to ban Maokai, without leaving open something that's a much bigger threat. They're really stuck between a rock and a hard place here.

They have probably played against zilian many times, they would be more familiar against him. Zilian has only won one game all tournament, so I do not see how this is so bad? I said, there are other good champions as well that could be available, but they most likely have way more confidence playing against a zilian than they do a maoki that has been destroying them for 3 straight games. Everything TSM is doing early game is playing off of this maoki from OddOne, so disrupting that gives TSM a whole different game to play than what they have been.


If you give TSM Yorick + Zilean game's automatically over. u R silly

Take one or the other then? They can't get both, unless you willingly give it to them. If TSM don't ban either one themselves, then you get zil or yorick with either first or second pick <.<

That's sort of an unfair statistic to cite when he was banned in the overwhelming majority of the games in the tournament.

It's pretty well known at this point that most top US teams consider Zilean a must-ban/pick, at least when TSM or CLG is involved.

Both EG and Dignitas tried the "take Zilean from TSM" strategy. The problem is that Scarra and Salce are nowhere near as good at Zilean as Regi is. The only Zilean player who can really match Regi is jiji.

10-0 for turrets. That's just silly. Even if TSM gets aced twice in a row, they wouldn't lose.

TSM dealt with zilian/vayne just fine in this very series? If TSM are confident facing it, I'm sure EG are.

That was pretty terrible casting in the last game... trying to make it seem like EG were still in it, and just a whole bunch of other mistakes. I should've just kept the sound off.

Dignitas vs TSM game 1 was definitely the gam eof the day... play went downhill from there

It's not about the champion. It's about how good the players are at the champion. The only US AP carry who plays Zilean anywhere close to as well as Regi is jiji (and jiji doesn't even play AP for CLG anymore). Dealing with Salce or Scarra on Zilean is not the same thing by a long shot.
