EPT[IEM] Kiev Discussion - Page 58
| Forum Index > LoL Tournaments |
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 | ||

The game was over with only 1 dragon fight basically and that was pretty even. Dragon and baron control won the game without any decisive teamfights where teamcomp mattered. Shyvanas oracles and their ward control sniped crucial kills to give them the game for free after their sucessful counter jungle and ganks early. Kog could have went rageblade and they would have won. | ||

Some of the most incredible play I have ever seen. M5 executes champions like no one I've ever seen. | ||

It fits really well with their active playstyle that's aimed at controlling tempo thanks to picks like Ryze, Shyvananana and Nunu. Those two champs force you to respond to them and this lets them pick off people out of position. Ryze snares, Shyvanana is a huge distraction and Nunu ult is area denial and forces you to spend time not doing damage. Much harder to respond to plays than to make them. | ||

Champion with initiating CC calls for M5. No one main shotcaller. | ||

I like the idea of the initiator being the shotcaller. Maybe we'll see other teams start to do this too? | ||

russia vs USA GO GO GO Edit: Very nice ending trying to feed in a special tacktics reference. really a buzzkill with 40 minute breaks but not much they can do about it. I really liked how they showed old games during the break. | ||

Alex Ich: *did not catch answer* Zenon: Did you expect that Taric gank? Alex Ich: Was surprising. Had to play safe as a result. But then his Swain aggressiveness made him die. Zenon: What champs do we have to ban to lock you out? Alex Ich: I won't tell. Both: Hahahahaha Zenon: Tell us about the Shyvanananana. Alex Ich: Shyvanananana is his favourite champion. Not his strongest, but his favourite. Zenon: What could Scarra have done midlane when he was so behind? Alex Ich: If you die just one time it's pretty hard. Vs Ryze it's GG. Flash, Snare, you die. The problem was he didn't have ward mid. After he died, I got 2 wards he got none. So he lost lane. Zenon: What did you think of that early dragon? Alex Ich: Diamond got really angry and flamed haha. Sometimes we have no ward, sometimes we have one and it really depends. Zenon: Dignitas said they had a strat that would only work once. That was it. Alex Ich: We were all scared. Where is Lee Sin, where is Lee Sin? And then we see Dragon gone and we say Oh, there is Lee Sin. Zenon: Your team is very good at executing and catching people out. Who makes the calls? Alex Ich: When I play Ryze, I make the calls because I have the snare. It depends. If you have the snare or stun, you make the call because you catch people out. Zenon: Did you watch any games yesterday? Alex Ich: We missed the first two games yesterday because we were eating and driving. We really wanted to watch SK v TSM. Zenon: What do you think of the Sion? Alex Ich: Regi plays a lot of LeBlanc. When you play a lot of one champion, you know who counters it. So Oce's idea to get extra ban by picking LB was bad. He should have played differently as well. Oce thought about it but he made... how to say. He didn't play right. Should have let TSM take LB and counter it. Zenon: There's a lot between you and TSM. TSM is looking scary. Chaox's bottom lane always win. Are you afraid? Alex Ich: Hahaha. *shakes head. We're more afraid of aAa than TSM. Zenon: What's your prediction for Group B? Alex Ich: We will come first. aAa will come second. Zenon: Any shoutouts? To Russian fans in Russian? Alex Ich: *insert Russian* | ||
