Ban down one complete lane, force M5 into picking something and kill that lane. I don't think scatterbans will work.
[IEM] Kiev Discussion - Page 105
| Forum Index > LoL Tournaments |
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. Neo, 20.1.2012 | ||

If you listen to them while they play their scrims, it shows how bad they are tactics wise. Its quite embarrassing, they dont think about team synergy AT ALL, they are just stuck in lane phase with their mind, and so limited at that (e.g. Oce) | ||

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. My point is that we've never see games where a team tries to coordinate a 2nd Blue steal when it's common knowledge the timings for it. I understand the risk but that's why it'd pay off for the more coordinated team. If it became a trend for a bit to steal enemy 2nd Blue, I could further see why teams would resort back to just taking their own Blue. The crux argument is why pro teams aren't taking the initiative to be more aggressive and coordinate and build up a early/mid game adv. | ||

Renek is viable just has certain points in the game where he's not as solid. Like LaNague said, picking Renek before enemy team shows their Top Lane pick is flat out stupid move during Picks/Bans. | ||

Because if you screw it up they're going to get a free dragon or you're going to get behind if nothing else. I think the risk doesn't warrant the reward, but I'm probably the safest player in league of legends ^_^ Farm at turret all day. | ||

GP kills Renek straight up top lane. Keeps pushing hard for creep advantage. Those million pots paying off. | ||

It might not be possible to ban out Diamond but you don't ever want player getting into "the zone". | ||
