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.

Sure. But FFS if I know the game better as a 1600+ player than double does at 2k, at what point do we just admit that he just doesnt understand how the game works?


Yeah, I'd rather my ad carry miss cs than constantly get caught out of position. Especially later on in the game when one misplay can easily lose you the game.

I think if he stays in CLG he'll get better at that. Mostly cause saint and Chauster try to reign him in and he's smart enough to not listen to what HSGG says. He's really good but definitely not as good as Chaox.

I think the CLG vs. TSM bot lane is gonna be really exciting to see develop because I think that if Double learns better decision making CLG will slowly catch up to and exceed the TSM bot lane.

I think TSM will beat M5 tomorrow. But I would be happy to see M5 take it.

Really excited about tomorrow.

I'm probably most excited about Alex Ich vs Reginald and how TSM deals with M5's style but all lanes are really interesting.

I love how TSM receiving shit talk for their failures in scrim as a way to drive them to play better.

My predictions:

Xpecial+Chaox win bot lane
Reginald wins mid
Darien wins top
Jungle is a tossup imo. Haven't seen enough other junglers of Diamond yet to make a decision.

Pretty damn hyped about the finals, damn. Both teams had flawless road to the last matches, both looked sooo strong. Grudge history from scrims. What more to ask huehue

Best two teams made the finals, but strong belief that TSM will just stomp M5. Bot lane easily favors TSM, and Regi won't sit in mid and farm when he spots his jungle being countered. GP and Ken are pretty obvious bans, but good luck trying to ban Regi and TRM out.

I think it'll be interesting to see if TSM will just ban Shyvana or leave her open.

Is it a move or are they just going to use the tourney client to scrim more like they already had been doing?

I seriously cant see them switching to the EU W solo q.
