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 | ||

As I'm watching Kas take down one of Zenio's expansions over my shoulders I've also just finished patching up LoL. If anyone from this thread fancies a quick round with me, I wouldn't say no  (I can play on any server, but I'm not sure my NA account has runes and stuff) | ||

Loading into a dominion game with Rioters now, will play a round with you guys after. Awesome. EDIT: Yes, the IEM Kiev day 4 will be re-broadcasted, and VODs will be up on youtube (search for intel extreme masters) soon! | ||

Decent damage from W every 5 hits and an AD carry with a stun that can be AoE is pretty neat. | ||

Kennen is actually really hard to stop during laning phase so he farms well then has the ability to stun while fighting + aoe ult + escape. Also, his W proc scales off of ad. I tried it twice, absolutely crushed soraka graves with nunu support and beat sivir alistar with sona support. I probably would've outfarmed them with any ad carry, but I got kills and outfarmed them and was safe. He's viable. The real losing point was just losing top and getting counter jungled so hard, either of those things don't happen together in games 1 and 3, tsm probably wins. New ways of playing are how the metagame shifts and changes. I'm 100% sure in higher elo games, lots more counter jungling will happen and more ad kennen players will appear. | ||

It has no merit to do that apart from trolling there x10 better champions for that job aka the real ad carries for starters. , spare me the bs they were trolling He had 1 kill i think then 0 -0 or osmehting ismilar thus a pretty much useless champ. they won 4vs5 vs the "best" eastern team . Yea i do think that anyone whos called "pro" in lol is a joke compare to a sc2 pro for instance. It just needed an relative unknown team to pawn them all semi afk with troll builds in the final User was warned for this post | ||

It just needed an relative unknown team to pawn them all semi afk with troll builds in the final 2/10 for effort. Try and work on your language next time. And LoL pro's are pro's. They make money, and they can live off the revenue their job creates. That makes them pro. And M5 wasn't unknown. Empire was around for quite some time. And TSM didn't get owned, they lost 2-1 with some fairly close stuff happening. | ||

Nunu support is as legit as can be, but despite that most people would have called it trolling not so long ago. AD carries are picked that don't have any ability scaling with AD (cf. Tristana, or Ashe short of volley), does that mean that Kennen, with his scaling W, ability to peel for himself, escape and AoE stun can't be one? He farms safely, can hold his own against certain 1v2 lanes, and allows the control that is the base of M5's playstyle. You could as well call them trolls because they dare to use Mordekaiser in a tournament. | ||

There might be people failing at her on free week but it's not like jungle Shyv is very tough. It's akin to the ease of jungle Warwick except Shyvana is way better than WW. Did M5's jungle play anything other than Shyvana this tournament? Kind of funny that no one banned Shyv even though that's what was crucial to their counter-jungling strategy. | ||

He played a 5/1/14 Lee Sin vs aAa (who had banned Shyvana), and in the finals against TSM, he played Lee Sin in the first game and Skarner in the third (with Shyvana on their top-laner, who admittedly counterjungled like a boss after pushing TRM's Irelia to her turret). | ||

Thanks for all the quotes itäs always funny to read back what you said as most of it just comes out while filling dead air, thankfully though these games were pretty entertaining throughout and opened a lot of peoples eyes to a new meta style which in Ocelotes words "everyone will be playing like this for the next month". Hope to be in CeBIT for the finals. | ||
