[IEM] Kiev Discussion - Page 61

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.

It will be epic to see a good USA vs russia rivalry. it looks like they are the top dogs at the event though I dare say that I'd giv the nod to M5.

Yeah that was a much more impressive win than any of TSM's. I would love to see Chaox and Xpecial take on M5's bot lane.

He was going wriggles/mercs/phage/wits FYI, in match history his last build finished the wits.

There's no out banning this guy. He can play around 5 jungles at world class level it seems. Another 5 or so that don't get played any more. He doesn't play rammus though. He doesn't like the gank dependent junglers that much, not a big fan of tree either.


Jungle Xin, so confused.

Lithuanian team.

mTl.tt is probably the 3rd or 4th strongest team at the moment in EUW, it's composed of Angush, Svenskern, extinct, Prepared and Sleeper.

Angush is the only top laner in the game that has consistently given wickd trouble and has beaten him several times (it's about even right now). The unique thing about mTl.tt is that they run a battle botlane which is according to krepo (clgeu's support) "retarded as hell to lane against". They're very strong.


Battle botlane... is that someone like Goose's Jarvan/Leona combo?
Round off (your) current top 3 please?

Thanks for your answers, dooraven.


No what I mean is typical AD/Support with Ignite/Exhaust instead of cv/heal and consisting of super agressive lanes like sivir taric or caitlyn nunu etc

Top 3 would probably be

1/2 M5/CLGeu (they're even atm)
3 mTl.tt / aAa (not really sure about aAa's current form atm)

I don't know how well aAa have been doing besides their win v M5 (then they lost to MYM)

Fnatic are in a huge slump at the moment, they should return to glory when they start practising again (which should be before hannover hopefully)

SK has problems that they need to fix.

Go go Alliance.

I've always been sucessful with jungle xin when I played him in my old TL.EU lineup, but he lacks a little depth. In teamfights there's only so much you can do.

Thanks guys! I was afraid my questions would be too technical, so I threw in the TSM flame-bait (didn't go for it. Good guy Alex) and the "do a shoutout in Russian".

I'm super excited about this team. So happy the hype wasn't premature. That scarra snipe over the cliff, I almost fell of my chair.

M5 - Sypher next. Uhm. I just gave lounet my condolences ;P Honestly, I do not think Sypher have any chance at all (I'd never say this on stream, but there it is). I'll do Dig - aAa after, probably deciding the second place in the group.

EDIT to add: we'll keep doing interviews as long as the games are this quick. Post here if you got questions and we'll try to work them in (provided we see the questions in time)

If I were you, I'd try to focus a little bit on the top lane. Skyyart can go in hard carry mode, he has already shawn that, and the M5 top didn't seem that impressive. This could be the lane where important things happen.
Mid should easily go to M5.
Bott could go either way, but definitly M5 is favored.

And then... There's the jungle !

A lot of this gold and score came from the teamfights, which he handled indeed wonderfuly. But we didn't see the laning so to speak, and Skyyart really has been a very good top laner for a long time.

But it's more that I think the 2 other lanes will lose :p

M5 bans rammus because Diamond doesn't like him as a jungler but he's strong. Same with shaco.
