[IEM] Kiev Discussion - Page 59
| 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 | ||

Maybe we'll see other teams start to do this too? Makes sense if you want to play a tempo caller. Sometimes there's no time to tell the stunbot on your team to stun. Just do it and go for it. M5 seems really awesome. Got a fan out of me now! :D Questions a lot better than yesterday too. Some really great answers! | ||

In terms of being effective shyvana has no cc so if people choose to get zoned and let their front line die then she's done her job. People only die to her when it's an even teamfight. | ||

I can't imagine many people replicating Diamond's results. Shy's greatest strength is her amazing jangle speed but there so many nuances to her to make sure good. I never really understood Shy ganks due to lack of CC but I'm going to analyzes these games more later for sure. :X | ||

The interview was awesome, too. Alex seems like a really cool/nice guy with alot of knowledge not only about the game but also about the competition both EU and US. | ||

You can also rely on other peoples CC in lane obviously. Shyvanna isn't a jungler for her ganking, but she can still pull it off. Snoopeh and cyanide still play more like oddone in the jungle so they aren't really on the same level. | ||

I have somewhat mixed feelings about M5's manner wards though. And there's hearsay about M5 trashtalking other teams (both NA and EU) after scrims. :<<<< | ||

Swain tries to push an advantage in mid, he dies. Nobody died to lee sin ganks even though he ganks much better. Honestly her ganks are only slightly weaker than a pheonix udyr the 1 second stun doesn't count for a whole lot. You can also rely on other peoples CC in lane obviously. Shyvanna isn't a jungler for her ganking, but she can still pull it off. Snoopeh and cyanide still play more like oddone in the jungle so they aren't really on the same level. Counter jungling is highest priority? | ||

I like m5s play, but i really dislike their bm :/ | ||
