[IEM] Kiev Discussion - Page 203

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 is a great team. But this tournament was made 20x easier because people still refuse to accept that shyv is a fucking strong hero in the hands of empire. It doesn't matter what you think, if it's someone's best hero and they play it 10x better than any hero in place of it, then it's a problem and needs to be banned.

I wouldn't even blame it on the Irelia pick, but more the way he is playing her, he's trying to freeze the lane rather than shoving it when Shy runs away, either follow her and make her fight for the jungle or shove the lane and pressure the tower he's doing neither.

quad flash into baron, sona ults all 4... doesn't end well.

m5 spends a fortune on clearing wards but still, TSM's ward coverage has been abyssmal. Too far into the mindset of "thats Xpecial's job" or something.
Only the weak link is strong enough to break the chain.

hard to level in jungle when the enemy steals the top half of your jungle on every respawn. who would you blame for that happening?


Himself along with his lanes. Protecting them isn't one single players fault. That's what I'm saying, everyone painting RM the single reason for loss. Regi didn't do shit in mid either this game and chaox got outfarmed by AD kennen >_>_>_>_>_>

How do you choose Irelia over Teemo or Trynd. I don't get. I'm running it all in my head. Lose lanes, loses teamfights. Wtf does Irelia bring to the table?

Yeah that's game.

Really well played by M5.

Top lane lost that completely.


Every one lost their lane by 15-20 cs though, so you can't really blame one person. M5 just played better overall and were way better than TSM in their teamplay in this series.

Casters complimenting Riot on how the game is constantly evolving.

Each IEM is different.

No one team is completely dominating.

I'm inclined to agree.


I remember when the new jungle came out and just about everybody hated it.

And now... it's actually working.

Riot secretly does know what they're doing o:

People don't give Design and Live Team enough credit.

What are you guys talking about, counterjungling has been there since like forever, not sure if there are recordings of Dyrus' games from 6-12 months ago but he was constantly winning games by stealing enemy jungle with solo top singed, enemy jungler ended way underlevelled while Dyrus had 2+ lvls advantage over enemy top.

NOONE IN THIS THREAD IS ON SKYPE WITH TSM. OR VENT. OR WHATEVER.

So please stop assigning blame based on supposition. TRM could have demanded Irelia. He could have been told that he HAD to play Irelia. The whole team could have agreed that Irelia was a good idea. We don't know. Its a team game. When a team loses its the team's fault.

Bleah.

Irelia has a hard time shoving without philo. Q spam gets you low on mana if you go wriggle's.

Why didn´t TRM just ward tribush?? That would have spotted every single jungle invasion...

i'm pretty sure they knew about pretty much every single jungle invasion. the problem is that irelia is a shit as fuck pick. TSM attempted to contest a few golem steals and they all went very very badly for them.

I didn't realize that as a jungler when top and bottom are both losing (i don't even remember mid, but I think non blue karth was losing as well), and your entire jungle except like... wolves is getting stolen by your team and the enemy team, you're expected to still be on the same level as everyone else.

Top lane being a bad pick gave shyv free roam for his top jungle, and regi took wraiths and blue.

Nothing oddone could do.

Oddone really couldnt do anything this game. Shyvana could run into his jungle without fear. Not his fault at all.
Top fail lost them the game.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

bad game. Oddone and Rainman need to take a serious look at what happened that game. Also, wtb a rematch where TSM gets blue twice. M5 is 2x the team they are on purple when they get blue side and their top lane can roam enemy jungle.


Maybe Riot will finally get to making magma chamber after this. Symmetric sides is just fairer.

Ya. Credit to M5 for actually playing it out, but this tourney is just all on TSM for being retarded. Game 2 they got exactly what they needed to win, then did EXACTLY the wrong thing in game 3.
