[IEM] Kiev Discussion - Page 189

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.

If I was TSM going into bans & picks:

Force shyv to be in jungle, not top lane.
Put TRM on something he actually PLAYS
Laugh as M5 feeds a free bottom lane win with shitty support picks
Hope to hell that regi hits cass ults

As a complete noob to LOL, it seems to me that so much of the game is dependent upon who collects the early buffs and then levels quickly using those, or is that complete rubbish?

it depends on the matchup and champs involved tbh.

in this particular game, TSM giving cassiopeia the very first blue was very crucial in that Mordekaiser has a ridiculously weak early game from levels 1-3. Cassiopeia has amazing harass, but her mana costs can become somewhat prohibitive if she's constantly spamming. Giving up blue allowed Cass to abuse Morde and win that lane very easily. However, the drawback is that Lee sin loses out a TON of early exp/gold. If you noticed, TSM's Lee sin basically did not gank much at all for the early game in comparison to m5's lee sin in game 1.

Realistically though, it needs to be someone aggressive and suits Regi's style. Xerath? Ahri? ...Vlad?

Or is it just mindgames?


If I had a choice, Regi should learn Ahri.

Ye, I really think LoL snowballs too hard at pro level. People don't make stupid mistakes when ahead, and thereby games are often decided on first dragon, followed by 20-30 mins safe play into win.
But first game of this serious, omfg.

Have any of the games actually had comeback victories after one team got ahead? I guess you could count third place match game 2, but that was pretty ^_^

Well, it was only like what, a 1k gold lead until then? And even that had a big affect on the fight at dragon.

Watch the Millenium stream muted with either the English or Dyrus commentary. Millenium is 720p and the time is only like a second off.
