Epik's biggest mistake was not banning Maokai. In the final game, Maokai destroyed so much of Karthus and Vlad's damage.

So do LoL tournament results also have the effect where the builds or in this case champions used on the ladder change after a tournament? More Lebanc, Maokai, Yorick, Rammus, etc. Anyone that wasn't used before more used now if they were used a lot in MLG.

Yep, lots of fotm sheep. Yorick and Rammus are pretty standard picks already though and I don't really expect LeBlanc to jump in popularity. Maokai probably will though now that TheOddOne's won a tournament using it, he was already on peoples' radar thanks to chu8.

I think their overall team comp in general was pretty lacking (forgivable since you don't get that much time and they were probably focused on lanes)- only AD on the team being the jungler, all 3 lane champs AP with extremely minimal CC makes it near impossible to kill anyone on TSM who all built MR except LeBlanc. The only fight they did decent in (3 for 3) was when TSM fought straight up with their back to blue buff so no kiting and EG got to spam their AoE. Any more mobile situation and they were screwed.

Ya definitely. After Dreamhack there was a huge surge in the number of games where Gragas was picked/banned. After Dignitas beat CLG in the IEM NY Qualifier, there was a huge surge in "non-standard" supports picked, such as GP, Blitz, and Malphite.

I would imagine that you won't see much difference in the ladder after this tournament, since there wasn't anything earth shattering. Yes, Reginald owned with leblanc, and TheOddone did well with Maokai jungle, so you might see a slight increase there but I doubt anything of real significance since those two are already seen a fair amount on the ladder.
In order to move forward, we must rid ourselves of that which holds us back. Check out my stream and give me tips! twitch.tv/intotheskyy

For those that don't know most (maybe even all) of the Soraka bans were from teams (mainly TSM) when they wanted to run Karthus.

The one thing I don't understand is why Epik banned Trist all 3 games against TSM. Chaox's Trist IS beastly but he's pretty good with other ADs too. The only game where that kinda made sense was when they played Kennen 'cause buster shot is great against Kennen's ult. But was trist really their best ban in the other two games?

Didn't TSM ban Soraka every single game against Epik regardless what they wanted to run? I was under the impression it was cause Nhat plays a really good Soraka.

I don't think that's it. If you look, every single time they banned Soraka they picked Karthus, and every game they didn't pick Karthus they didn't ban Soraka (which against Epik was only their first game on Saturday). They also banned Soraka against Dignitas the time they played Karthus and didn't the game that they didn't.

At first I thought Maokai was pretty bad and did not see anyone use him well. After plugging a good amount of games he is one of my favorites. I have not tried support Maokai which looked like was used in a game or two (haven't caught up on all games yet). Usually go a mix of chu8 way, lately RoA, CD boots, Deathcap, Trinity. Do not always get top, but if I get a chance to farm mid game can make up for duo bot.

Game 1 of grand finals(game 4 of extended series) they banned Soraka and didn't pick Karthus. To me it feels like there's more a correlation to 'hey we let Nhat have Soraka the first time we played EG, and we lost, and decided that we wanted to ban it from then on.'

I'm pretty sure I remember Nhat saying at some point that TSM bans Soraka against them because they know he plays mainly Soraka.

the problem is that EG had NO idea how to counter bot lane yorick...

i mean, dat bot lane yorick 2 stronk


I'm not as pro as EG, but imho maybe nasus can counter yorick according to yersterday's games? idunno

Who on EG plays Nasus?

yesterday TSM vs EG game2
Nasus(TheRainMan) raped yorick(Dyrus)

In fact Nasus is just completly imba VS Yorick, because I'm pretty sure he can charge his Q on Yorick's gouls. He goes into his «beast mode let's OS squishies» mode even faster than in a normal lane.

For the last few months Sona has pretty much never been banned and has been played in almost every single tournament level game. It's pretty funny.
