[IEM] Kiev Discussion - Page 33

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.

CLG.EU and ER who are in my opinion the 2 best european teams currently aren't there sadly. Sypher are really bad nowadays, aAa are overrated. M5 are strong but they're not invicible monsters at all, they've traded wins and losses with the top EU teams.

lol... your GF is going to dislike a lot of Riot's female design. >_>
In fairness Sivir is one of the extreme cases.


Sona? Nidalee?

Ahri as well.

If SK loses to a team with 2 subs (trololol @ Flash getting subbing in while Crs were at the airports), they need to really take a look at themselves in the mirror.

There's a lot of pride here for SK to not be laughed out of the high ranks on EU.

And at what point am I vindicated for picking all the American teams to go through (well, before CRS lost their best player). Still waiting for the Euros to apologize.

SK wasnt even CLOSE to competitive that game.

Candy/Nyph... real shadows of their former selves...


In fairness, they did set up a no-sustain lane with a noted weak laner against the juggernaut of Sona/Sivir. Then again, that's also a problem with there being exactly 2 good sustain supports.

I forgot what EnemyRampage's lineup was, they seem decently strong and yeah aAa probably won't do anything this tournament since they couldn't practise at all because altthor had exams.

Regi explain mid lane meta really well.

TSM banned all of LB's counters, aiming to pick LB. SK picks her first.
TSM has to pick a champ that can push hard (e.g. Malz, Gragas) and force LB to farm at tower. Sion was decided as a team because of his high durability.

Great thought process.

They kinda got hardcore counter picked though. All their lanes where very poor matchups, with a very solid jungler.

M5 is the biggest tagline for Kiev. We're all eager to see what they bring. Can they join the S tier EU ranks?

Lol someone is getting a hard-on because an American team won a game.

You should let go of that NA/EU nonsense. Its teams playing, not continents.

I love the part where he was "forced" to pick sion because his team knew he was aggro as hell, hahaha

That was definatly really good thinking by TSM though, I really hope they take this tourney.

Agreeing with Redox.
