[IEM] Kiev Discussion - Page 169

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.

M5 just played beautifully. This was the first pro match that I've truly truly impressed by the high level of play... The other games I've seen are highly reminiscent of solo queue but this match (particularly from M5) was played on a league all on its own.

Umm, I thought bottom was getting outlaned but then they got an advantage through galio tp gank.

Wut no, they were outlaning Chaox and Xpecial before that, kogmaw having equal to slightly better farm with those lanes = heavy outplaying

He was like 20 cs behind before the gank. Also, Sona had to blow an early flash to get away from Lee. Bot DEFINITELY got better help from the team, 100%.

Yeah, they're going to have to pull it out now.

@itsmedudeman: After the Galio tp gank Chaox was still 10 cs ahead. But as soon as Kog could spam his ults, things started to go downhill.

I keep seeing Shyv and Galio being dominant in the M5 games. Are there more important bans that are necessary against them?

I don't know what game you were watching.

Chaox was up 14 CS even after TP Galio Ult / Flash Taric stun gank and getting back to a heavily pushed lane, almost dead tower, and being alone.

I have to agree with this. Small attention to details like forcing Regi out of lane 20 sec before Blue to steal it without hesitation. Shyvanana pushing lane top and then stealing wolves, applying pressure with jungler bot forcing TOO to reveal himself. So many things like that. TOO appears somewhere? Steal his jungle on the other side of the map.

I tries that Kog build the other day and it work perfectly even for me (keeping in mind that im scrub and AD carry is my worst role).

Graves was ahead of Kog for the whole time prior to TP gank. Sona did blow 2 flashes from Lee Sin tribush ganks, but it wasn't anything significant.

Taric was a really good pick by M5 there - teamwide armor buff vs Graves AD burst, team-wide micro-baron buff from Radiance suits their teamfighting, and Dazzle suits "You see hero, you kill hero", huehuehue.

Genja managing to keep enemy bot turret alive to zone Chaox/Xpecial was great play, too.

Hate to say this as I am rooting for TSM, but M5 is on another level. Their teamplay is awesome. They work as a unit, each one complimenting the others. They play as a real team, not individuals playing together. Other teams should be taking notes.
We march to victory!

2 flashes is huge. It basically means you can't harass as freely because you're afraid of a gank, and you can't flash ult either.
