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 | ||

Playing solidly = catching Shaco doing very bad counter jungling and taking fights after aAa mispositionned like hell ? It was way more aAa fault than Dig win on that one >.> | ||

Besides taking first blood and losing a couple blues shaco wasn't that great early game. Sure he forced a few flashes, but you should "overextend" when you can escape with flash else it just goes to waste. | ||

Mentioned it in LR. They fakes the "burst Baron at the end to kill it" and when Shaco popped over the wall to try and steal it, it wasn't low enough. They then all stopped Baron to CC and kill Shaco and then took Baron without fear. Shaco's bad play during that time he got caught stealing Blue was not boxing up first and going first in without a tank line to protect him. The last time he died for it was the exact same reason. But he also deceived towards the oracles... | ||

That is why constantly stealing the buffs with your team was game winning and mindlessly invading loses you the game. | ||

I was referencing Dominate saying they were gonna have a horrible early game regardless versus Shaco and they just wanted to wait around for their carries (Karthus) to kick in, but that is also a good point. Can your team really look good if you're doing an AoE comp though? You attribute them landing the ults to the other team being out of position and there's really no other way it can happen. Either the ults land and the enemy team dies or they don't... | ||

That is why constantly stealing the buffs with your team was game winning and mindlessly invading loses you the game. Most of the counter jungling m5 and aaa did was blind. Its just normally they took the initiative to go right when it spawned however linak came without support from swain and lee sin so he just got caught instead of having a 3v3 fight. For example diamondprox wasn't scared of finding lee sin in the jungle because he could kill him 1v1 and mid or top would be followed and shyvanan can just ult out if it gets too dicey. | ||

Thats basically the key to counterjungling. You either have to play someone who can kill anyone 1v1, or play someone who can peace if things get dicy. Of course, ideally you want someone who can do both. | ||
