[IEM] Kiev Discussion - Page 206

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.

Losing in such a retarded way...
Just ban the fkin Shyrvana, they didn't even try to counterpick it.
What is the point of that?
The whole tourny they stomped with Shyrvana counterjungling

SK got stomped by M5's kennen, shyr and sona. SK's Irelia gets rolfstomped so hard yet they still pick it.

They just give them the same comp just to get stomped again?

After the group stage I thought Diamond real good. But actually Darien MVP. And manliest player.

Also real hard to Ban against M5 imo. GP big problem, Shyv too. Ryze Galio. Maybe even Kennen.

Darien's amazing play is what Diamond look so good.

Counterpicking her would be so much smarter. Teemo would have done amazing against Shyv and TRM actually plays him often enough to know what he's doing.

Anyway, pretty much a brainfart, I'm sure TSM could have won that. It's sad to see games being so onesided though, Regi just mentioned it in an interview. You can snowball games from the slightest advantage now, and I think the combination of the new jungle and masteries makes it relatively easy.
currently rooting for myself.

Reginald critiquing the state of the game - can't say I disagree with him, based on how Kiev looked all weekend. Needs more anti-snowball.
tree.hugger: Coming off of [(T)fantasy v. (T)Really] into [(T)Barracks v. (T)MVP] is like coming out of Manhattan into New Jersey. You just have to speed up and ignore it.

Yeah, subtle snowball whine (even though I agree with his sentiment).

Yeah it kind of felt like that TSM did the same mistakes in g3 as they did in g1. GG wp M5.

Seems just cocky refusing to admit Shyvana is a huge problem and not banning her. I wish Regi said a bit more about that.

I completely agree with regi, I've been thinking the exact same thing!

I think in LoL you snowball way too easily, I think there should be much much more champions that are good early and bad late, or bad early and good late!

As is right now, all champions are pretty much equal at all point in the game and it just goes so that early advantage -> win every time. I don't think it's interesting gameplay that games are always decided at like 15min. As soon as a team is like 2k gold ahead I have never seen them lose ...

Did I miss it or did interviewers not congratulate the winner before starting with the questions?

agreed about how the game at this level snowballs. it seemed to just be a stomp everytime they got a small adv.

I think its more important to set up a team that can protect there own jungle then focus on banning.
Irelia couldnt help defend. Trynd could and the game took a whole different turn. Tho its ofcourse debatable how much the early kills helped with that.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death
