v8 invading early and stealing blue, getting first blood and a kill bottom and pretty much snowballing from there. Dan too aggressive too early, I really don't get his obsession with Amumu. (and GP/10 Quints on him, lol.) I think he's way too prone to early invades and v8 had such a strong lvl 1. Udyr stun, Ahri taunt, Leona... I don't know, why pick Mummy when they already have Shyvana, Sivir, Leona locked in?

Edit: he also builds Philo HoG into WotA. What the actual fuck.
Edit 2: INTO A FUCKING ABYSSAL. DAN'S A MADMAN.

This is what happens to talent but no practice.

V8, looking almost Goose's level. Definitely near to top of A Tier for NA.

Yeah, was watching TreeEskimo's stream - V8 had a lot of offensive summoners (3 Ignites and either Exhaust or Heal) while EG had stuff like CV/TP/Cleanse, which let them invade blue with impunity (after warding the entrance to their own so it wasn't a blue trade); Dan kept falling further and further behind. He once came up top vaguely thinking about ganking TreeEskimo's Udyr, who was SEVEN levels above him and had TriForce. He looked even sadder than Amumu usually does :/

Speaking of talent, how did you guiys like Salce's Orianna? I think he played the game pretty well. I would have loved to see a Chalice against Ahri, but I guess he decided not to get it because of her true damage. I think that was a mistake because if I'm not completely mistaken, TakashiX took a page out of Froggen & co's books and maxed W. Anyways, there was this fight where he chased Sivir and Colby and Elementz where going on about how he should have used his W to speed up. He had a blue buff, but I think in that situation he wasn't aware Sivir was already so far away and counted on catching her either in the tribrush with a QW or after she was heading south towards her tower. In either situation, I think his W would have been on cooldown if he had used it to speed up. He was simply misjudging Sivir's advantage in distance and thus misplayed the situation.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is: I think he played the game pretty well and Salce's mad good and should get more appreciation.

Considering TD's raging hardon for Salce, I'm sure he's appreciated enough, huehue.

I just can't believe they'd let Dan rush fucking WotA on Amumu - if you want to go for oddball strats, rush RoA or something to deal with the lack of blue, not go straight AP -_-. Amumu can do some variant Sapphire+2 routes if he knows he can't contest his first blue, so IDK why Dan didn't think of something like that ahead of time.

Then again, Dan's actually kind of a terrible jungler who doesn't really know what to build on any of the current common ones - I saw him do Thornmail-first Rammus recently.

Wat. Dan does really really weird stuff sometimes. I mean, GP 10 Quints on Amumu. AP/lvl Reds on Heimer. Who does that?

It can work in lane where building weird shit can be counteracted by working it well, getting lots of gold, and using your skill to outplay people.

It DOES NOT work in jungle because you already have a lower income and need to maximize the efficiency of your gold expenditure. Its why cloth 5 is a bad buy now, and why you need to plan out your build as you go.

I would question my own closed-mindedness before I questioned Dan's item selection. Dan's been playing this game since beta--while he has many flaws, game understanding isn't one of them.

I would normally agree, but Dan does some things that are so far removed from the combined understanding of every high level jungler, and invariably those ideas tend to not only not work, but also cause him to end the game as dead weight on his team. I wouldn't ever judge someone who did something weird and did okay with it, but a pattern of shit like Red Pot Nocturne and WotA Amumu really makes me question if Dan does any sort of proper math or testing with his builds before sending them out into the wild.

Variant builds are awesome - I love trying out unorthodox things, and if they work good I might use them in an actual game, but I can't even imagine what was going through Dan's head when he decided what he needed was 20% spellvamp.
