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 |
Nyph while game is paused: Any bets on Candypanda?
|
ugh, the anticipation is killing me. I want that Vayne to die already.
|
Ofc it's easier to land them, but to intentionally just sit like a toad and eat them is silly. Try a little dodge and make your opponent miss a few, saves you hp potions.
Not to mention a lot of those times, if scarra really wanted, he could have just flash ignite ulted and oce would have died right there.

I gave my honest opinion, I don't think anyone should waste 50 minutes of their time watching g2, they could watch almost 2 good games in the mean time.
You can describe such a game with "realy good game for the first 25 minutes, then boring" instead of "terrible game", would be way more true

fair enough, I will simply describe the games by their percentage of awfulness from now on
so for example "this game is 50% awful, I give it an F"

I like that scale more 
Anyone knows what exactly happened that caused the pause? Any ETA on the end of the pause?

Hardware failure. They're switching out Kevin's computer apparently.

Kevin has reconnected here we go! Or they just won't unpause for another 5 minutes...

Btw, those of you who think ocelote is getting hit by too many dark bindings, I want to point out every singe time, he's within range of melee minions, and he gets them, I think its intentional. Err, what's the point of intentionally eating bindings under your own turret and then a pool just so you can chuck down 2 potions. If you want to throw gold away, how about you sell a mana crystal and buy one back immediately, huehuehue.
You get bonus points for catching them with your face.

Game is back. Vayne got raped.
|
Kevin goes down to Voyboy again.
|
Irelia feeds Irelia some more top. Morgana finishes pushing mid and roams bottom some more.
|
So at this point this game is pretty much already over.
|
Irelia 0/4 17min in. Real feed there.
|
Oh my god SK getting schooled this game! Top lane is totally gone.
|
|
|
Scarra's heat-seeking bindings are really making this game.
|
So painful to watch SKs insecure and confused play :s
|
Fight breaks out bottom. Skarner gets caught by a stun combo and dies. Then Akali arrives and cleans up SK for the ace with no deaths.
Dignitas has a huge lead in everything 2 dragons 2 towers.

GG wp closing the stream till final starts.
