[IEM] Kiev Discussion - Page 69

Prev 1 67 68 69 70 71 217 Next
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.

Phreak: Introduce yourselves.
Alex Ich: I played Ryze last game. (M5)
Pyrii: I played Janna last game. (Sypher)

Phreak: How did you expect the game to go? Did it follow your expectations?
Alex Ich: *Stream dies. Missed first part.* We snowballed hard.
Pyrii: We were outpicked and outplayed. We knew they are very aggressive bot lane and we wanted Sona but they took it so it was like, fuck.

lol these Phreak questions. asking "did the game go as expected" four different ways. and what kind of question is that to ask the loser?

Phreak: Your're 2-0 and 0-2 respectively. What's your plan now?
Alex Ich: We're going to play our game. We won't make bad plays or extreme picks. We want to play SK. We lost to aAa last Go4LoL so we see them as our main enemies.
Pyrii: We've not played against American Teams before so this will be an interesting match.

Alex so frank and honest. It's somewhat charming as an interviewee that he doesn't bullshit his answers.

It was something like: bottom won hard, GP was really strong with bluebuff, the only weakpoint earlygame was me (Ryze), so we had shyvana stick mid. we won the lanes hard and snowballed hard

edit: fuck, do i need to do something with my 1000th post? :/

Phreak: You're going to play aAa next but you get to watch their game v Dignitas. Anything you're looking for?
Alex Ich: We've played them a lot. Solo Queue Ranked 5v5, Go4LoL and lots of other places. We're going to watch it but we know them well so it's not for learning purposes.
Phreak: And for Sypher, you're going to play Dignitas. Anything you're looking for?
Pyrii: We've never played them before. We're going to try and adapt. We have a few ideas but nothing concrete right now.

Phreak: What's with the AD Kennen?
Alex Ich: Genja plays AD Kennen, he likes AD Kennen. Same with Diamond and Shyvana. He like Shyvananana, he good at Shyvanana, why not play Shyvanana? Same with Kennen. Kennen also good all lanes. You see him mid and top v bruiser too. He has AD scaling and can CC as well. Good pick.

Phreak: Are you going to cheer for aAa in the aAa v M5 game or would you rather be the best French team?
Pyrii: Got to cheer for them. National pride. I believe they can win.

Alex Ich saying, they play champs they like, not who is best. thats why SK lost with Vayne/Janna which is supposed to be OP. if the players don't really like the champ or are the best with them they wont play their best.

edit: yeah fuck this, 6 posts in 2 days IEM, no way thats gonna happen

Pretty sure no other team in the world has this kind of mentality.

Phreak: Sypher can still make it though a tiebreaker. Nothing is certain. What are your predictions for the rest of the tournament?
Alex Ich: We're going to advance as first place. I think the top three teams will be aAa, M5 and TSM. It will be interesting to see how everything will work out.
Pyrii: M5 will likely win the tournament. M5 is a monster. Crush all the team. Win the tournament.
Phreak: What about the other two places?
Pyrii: aAa or TSM. I think SK will be fourth.

Dignitas used to play like that back when they were good ^_^
