[IEM] Kiev Discussion - Page 102

At any point of IEM Kiev, if you think of an interesting byline, please drop a sentence in the Pro Scene thread. (e.g. "Day 2: M5 hype was everything people expected")

At the end of the month, I'll catalogue the results of Kiev but also any interesting facts or events that happen over the course of the tournament.

Thanks.

Wow really entertaining. I really hope this changes the game somewhat. It's kinda boring seeing the same lanes all the time :p
With that said, I hope SK turns it around this game

M5 makes me want to play LOL 24/7 to eventually play in a high level team lol

Their play is so impressive and so much fun.

It's funny how M5 don't really play champions that are blue buff dependant.

EDIT: ok derp, ryze.


To be fair, a lot of AP champs are banned consistently by EU teams.



True, but it seems like they focus on stealing the buffs (and just being very objective minded in general), i don't see why their opponents don't pick something less dependant on blue.

Crazy agressive 0 fucks given team playstyle.
Walk around 5 people to steal their blue solo and teleport top?
GP 1v2 with red buff and 3 man invade a rammus jungle?
Mid and jungle with 0 cc between them?

M5 is funny because they play hella agressiv with buffy heroes - all their heroes have a huge HP pool.

Evaluation:

Lanes that can apply pressure: Morde pushes, GP is safe and has his ult, Kennen is Kennen, Sona is Sona. This pressure allows them to invade.

Sadly this will never work on solo Q below ~2200 elo.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

There's like....a difference in gameplay between M5 and everyone else. I don't even know how to describe it, but M5 just looks beautiful to watch.

M5 loves Giants Belt. Everyone has at least one. Everyone.

Are there any streams apart from twitch tv? It's lagging terribly for me, nearly unwatchable.

Great play from the Russians though

Phreak commenting on how M5 is incredibly adaptive.

GP can 1v2 bot because Sivir Soraka is pretty passive, no kill potential.

Only just caught up with this thread as the game was too consistently entertaining right from spawn to spend much time alt-tabbed here. Darien's manly manly Gangplank (starting red buff, cloth + red elixir into a 1v2 lane, making Sivir burn Exhaust and Flash simply by running at her as soon as he realised Soraka had gone top, the 1v4 while the rest of his team baroned) was a highlight, as was the mass offensive Flash + Sona ult + Shyvana ult over that Anivia wall in SK's jungle).

Just have a silly grin on my face watching this - really makes up for the first day of competition's grim grinds!

I'm more worried about bad GPs trying to 1v2 bot lane in all my games now

It seems like the passive, boring to watch LoL games are not actually inherent to the game mechanics, but just playstyle. I hope eventually everyone will transition to aggressive, objective oriented styles and we'll get really exciting ESPORTS matches.

Looks alot more Dota like, as in extreme agression, heavy jungle invasion and kills instead of farmfests

I like it
