Doublelift is smart enough to listen to Chauster and improve at things like kiting even if he doesn't listen to KingVicious #1 commandment of never speak to Tom again.

Eh, doublelift micro was never his problem. His problem is he has no game sense and doesn't listen to saint 100%. Which gives him full derp status at times. :/

He's an improvement from elementz, but it's a shame to see Chauster, one of the best solo laners, needing to support.

I think CLG's improvement though was more that jiji no longer is in a slump like he was back when they benched Elementz, and hotshot listening more. Ever since his grandparents watched his stream and he got with Becca he's stopped being so ragey and childish and has actually improved his team play overall, which is awesome to see from such a good mechanic top laner.

I think it's pretty impressive that CLG does so well without Chauster in solo lane though. Imagine if they had a guaranteed "this guy will do well in lane every single game." Shit would be scary as hell.

But yeah, it's cool to see Hotshot and jiji playing a lot better. Doublelift makes a lot less mistakes in the past three weeks or so which is also really exciting for me. I just hope jiji can go back to being a god again, that would make me the happiest person ever.

And the trend of colby and elementz being wrong about who wins continues

This game is over unless dignitas goes full retard. 2/3 lanes losing and the one where hotshot is beating ryze in cs doesn't matter because ryze is randomly strong enough to 1 vs 2 gp and kennen, wtf?

lol typed that before that dragon fight... ouch.

EDIT: I was also noticing how little vision the teams have, isn't that strange? really low ward level throughout this game.

Very good job on dignitas' part stringing CLG out and making them use their ults piecemeal instead of all at once.

Dignitas played that perfectly although Saint should have ulted during the chase.

I don't think he has :X The Pro's really know how to abuse him.. so many people have this misconception that ryze is super strong in the early game when he really isn't. If you can just CS fairly well and make it to the mid game without dying, Ryze is a god. (see scarra 1v2ing kennen and gp with just cata/tear)

Hoping CLG pulls this one out. I hope they have better picks and don't lose their buffs so much this game.

NEVER EVER LET SCARRA HAVE RYZE!

Ryze is a ridiculously strong champ and Scarra is really comfortable with him.

Saintvicious walking into the middle of the entire dig team as they go for drag, gets killed for free. Suprisingly poor play from him :\
