[IEM] Kiev Discussion - Page 104

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.

more like most teams need their own blue. The blues will respawn at the same time so you can't exactly safely take yours and steal theirs.


We haven't seen mutual aggressive before yet, so your point is moot.

Aggressive coordinated teams can steal Blue and take their own on 2nd spawn.

M5 doesn't always start Blue either. I thought Shyvanan started Red most of the time.

Indeed. Why no Shivanna ban? I dont get it.

Well Sk has never been very good when it comes to picks and bans.

Voyboy played Renekton a few times, including at IEM Germany subbing for CLG. He did a number top lane.

I think SK is one of those teams that are visably bad at Picks and Bans...

No point in banning Shyvanna, diamond plays too many champions to outban his jungle, better to focus on lanes that can prevent his tactics.
Go go Alliance.

We haven't seen mutual aggressive before yet, so your point is moot.

Aggressive coordinated teams can steal Blue and take their own on 2nd spawn.


If both teams go steal the enemy blue it's just like taking your own though. If you don't send your whole team to counterjungle you're taking a huge risk because they can easily outnumber you and crush you. You'd still likely get your own blue, but if you lose somebody to the invasion then you're still behind. If there was some mutual agreement to have two small skirmishes for the blues then I could see it happening, but I don't think it's worth the risk.

Teut posted somewhere in this thread that Diamondguy had crazy win %s with a crazy amount of junglers, so banning Shyvanna is not a priority IMO.

Correct. 68%+ wins on everyone from Xin, Trundle and Udyr.
