Snoopeh played very good, some crucial initiations that won them teamfights. CLG.eu just had amazing teamfighting power. WotA, Starks, Sivir ult, soraka ult really adds up

I also feel that Shyvana lost out too much in top lane. Whilst he was very valuable for the counterjungling and ganks, Wickd had total free farm, and his farm lead was huge. Not to mention the fact that Shyvana couldn't solo counterjungle, because you simply cannot do that to an alistar. He'll keep you in his jungle until his teammates come to kill you. So when Sypher counterjungled it was Lee Sin + Shyvana, making them both lose out on their own jungle and top lane.

I also have the feeling that Karthus is overrated quite a bit in competitive play. He's getting instapicked a lot if he doesn't get banned, but I don't really remember him winning many games as of lately.

Hard picks to read from M5, very interesting.

and Trundle is a great pick, as explained by Jatt

Sypher is getting a lead.

They're playing really well.

edit: Scratch that, they won top lane but bottom lane is losing fast. Kennen has double the farm of Sivir. Mid is 30 cs behind too for Sypher.

Riot can you PLEASE just fucking remove Nidalee from the game?

EDIT: wtf are you serious? He was just rightclicking and using pounce every time it went off CD, nothing else. That is skillful play?

Knowing which ledges you can pounce over is skill. Landing spears is skill. He juked the hell out of M5.

Okay he took 15 minutes to learn which ledges are suitable for pounce. That escape had nothing to do with his skill and had a lot to do with M5's misjudgement.

Yeah, Skyyart has made such bad plays that he's 9-1 now.

He's playing really well, and knows which trades he can make. When you have that much gold built up you only go in when you know that you won't die, because you are worth 500 gold.
