[IEM] Kiev Discussion - Page 112

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.

Against M5 I would ban GP / Irelia / Riven just to disrupt their top lane imo.

They won all their fight at SK's blue because they had the hero to do that : shyvana / gp / ryze, potent hero real fast without that much items.

I was initially surprised at the Miss Fortune pick, but she fit in very well with M5's playstyle - healing debuff vs Soraka & summoner heal on Sivir for duels, two AOEs (one as a slow) for jungle fights and to let Ryze/Taric catch someone, and even her passive movespeed boost fits in nicely with the Shurelyas/Phantom Dancer rush to complement M5's aggressive teamfights.

M5 should be banned, because they said "gg easy" during the interview after the game, which is against summoners code, and it is bannable.

It's been said time and again. Riot does a pretty good job making all champions "viable".
It's up to team to build a comp around champions that synergize.

MF is a great fit for M5's style.

MF might be the only carry that counters soraka lane =/

Fuck, now M5 needs to play Fnatic. I still feel Fnatic is better for some reason.

Well M5 took everyone by storm with their aggressive speed-based (that's why they bought PD (ye it gives momevement speed) invasive and kill-oriented games. I'm sure if this becomes more well-known, it can be countered. Still awesomeone to watch and curious to see if TSM (who I assume will beat dignitas now) can find an answer to it fast enough.

TSM probably has the strongest teamwork at Kiev to challenge M5. Despite my fanboyism for scarra, Dignitas may still be working things out with Dominate.

TheOddOne used to play a heavy map-control oriented jungling before this whole jungle overhaul. It wasn't rare to see a level 5-6 oracles popped over his head.

Why don't people use alistar as support anymore? I haven't seen him once this tournament, and seeing the CLG TSM game is making me wonder why.

I've seen M5's Gosu Pepper play quite a lot of (v.aggressive) Alistar on stream, and I'm half-wondering if we'll see anyone bust out a jungle Alistar - seems to be getting fashionable again.

m5 vs tsm will be a great match. It will be the first top team m5 plays, sk being gimped, and dignitas is knocking on the door but I don't consider them a top team yet. tsm will have had some time to study m5's playstyle. TheOddOne is such a great jungler, tsm will fight hard for their buffs.

Phreak's casting annoys me to the point I want to mute the stream. Too much jibber jabber. And on screen his hands make it worse.
