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.

SK is bad a Picks/Bans is my take of things.

Maybe it's the "NO WAY, SHYVANA IS A BAD HERO COME ON" mentality

Solo Q, 2355, #3 on EU.
Champs played in ranked season 2:
Lee sin, 92-33, 73.6% win
Udyr, 39,16, 70.9% win
Xin Zhao, 24-8, 75% win
Trundle, 22-6, 78.6% win
Nocturne, 18-8, 69.2% win
Shyvana, 18-5 78.3% win
Skarner, 16-7, 69.8% win
Maokai, 10-5, 66.6% win

His shaco/rammus etc win rates are lower but he doesn't play them that much. Seems to sometimes play solo top as well.
Masteries: Looks like 9/21/0, could be another jungle tho.
Shyvana rune pages: "drakon"
armour yellows,
attack speed blues,
ad quints,
ad reds.

Interesting he doesn't use move quints. He uses the same page as me on udyr though (medved = bear in russian)


Although this is true, it's probably better to ban shyvanna because the counterjungling m5 pull off with her is never seen before which is exactly the type of things you want to ban out in tournaments. You want to stay within your comfort zone. However, udyr can kind of do it but he relies more on blue buff. Riven can do it pretty well too as can lee sin.

Nice play by SK bot lane. I think from the start of the game they should have focused on beating M5's bot, since they have the best chance there.

Staying in your comfort zone, keeping the enemy team off kilt.

Seems like such a plain concept but it really is a big deal for tournaments and competitions.

?? I'm pretty sure that Shyv isn't considered a bad hero, just for some reason noone plays him (like eg. Jarman)

M5 just making plays. Chunking SK and then follow up with Dragon. *sigh*

SK no tactical foresight.

as seen in this dragon fight, M5 just trusts each other and has superior teamplay, SK didnt even know if they wanted to engage or not and got onwed during the second they thought about it.

I feel like M5 is counter meta'ing everyone. They know all the tendencies of their opponent's comps and when they go for buffs/where they'll be set up and they're just 100% ready to pounce on it.

The commentators don't even know what to say. Just "M5 is dominating".

By bad I meant not viable competitively. People bashed her for not having CC's and gank potential, but really, I don't see shyvana going for ganks, but rather putting a lot of pressure on their jungle and buffs. It's kind of a new competitive meta, really.

I thinkthey shoulda banned GP, not Shyv. He feels a lot more important to the team.

My guess: they want M5 to continue playing Shyv cos now at least they have *some* experience with M5's Shyv. If they force M5 to play some other jungler who knows what other crazy stuff they're going to have to go up against.

Ryze has a kill, equal farm with Morg, gonna stomp late game. Top lane GP just raped the lane, completely. Bot lane is a tad ahead for M5.
M5 winning lanes, jungling is on its own class and their teamplay is top notch. Don't see what could happen for SK to get out of this.
