At any point of IEM Season 6 Championship, if you think of an interesting byline, please drop a sentence in the Pro Scene thread. At the end of the month, I'll catalogue the results of Hannover but also any interesting facts or events that happen over the course of the tournament. Thanks. Neo, 06.03.2012 |

backdooring is a valid tactic; saying that it has a "negative sound" to it is like when people criticize cheese... it's just a tactic.
lee sin = backdooring b/c it wasnt as part of a standard push, he slipped in when everyone else was gone. TECHNICALLY, if you want to ignore the state of the game at the moment, yes it was not backdooring, but it's "semantics".

MB then you need to take a look at the hero mode I dunno .-. I've always seen mundo as a madman with whom you just want to chop the enemies into pieces, that's what the cleaver is for

Other than sheer mechanics, it has a lot to do with clgs farm mentality, and of course the person they want farmed the most is the ad carry.

Nyjacky is easily A, maybe S on champs like Veigar.
Crumbzz needs to clean up his decision making. He died a lot this tournament by invading and dying when he shouldn't have. Mechanically, he's a good junglers.
Cop/Elementz, no complaints. They've won games due to Cop. Haven't lost due to Crs Bot lane.
and there's SYDTKO... no comment.

Be careful with those words of yours! They'll be playing against Saint you know...

He's best mechanical player in LoL for a reason.

leesin did pretty well, leesin had to clear udyr ass many times, and even lost an oracle because of it.

SYDTKO beat Hotshot in lane during a scrim like three months ago. He was playing Tryndamere, who was considered OP at the time, and CLG didn't camp his lane. He's really bad. I think his theorycraft sucks. But Curse has kept him around since they first formed the team. Either they really like the guy or they feel like he's strong.
Also I think Ele is pretty decent on support. He's been playing that role longer than anyone else in the NA scene save maybe Xpecial. And Cop is actually pretty sick. iirc Cop had the most CS of anyone during group stage.
What Curse really needs is for Pobelter to turn 18.

No that's the equivalent of a Zerg going 15hatch 15pool and you calling it cheese

Doublelift gets a lot of bashing (some jokingly) from his team and the community. He did some dumb shit the first game as vayne and some bad chases as ezreal but overall he farms like a beast and had decent positioning in team fights (staying far back when veigar was there). I'm surprised he did so well vayne versus cait, Doublelift is solid.

is Phreak left handed or does he just switch his stuff around because he finds it easier for spectating? I have the muscle control of an infant when I try to use a mouse with my left hand :| I'm not ambidextrous in the slightest though
|
Ever since M5 won Kiev CLG has said it was because they were in Korea, the fact that the dream match is now finally official is enough for me. I'd love for CLG to win, but it feels like a really tall order.
In the mean time, can't wait for the next set Ocelot is one of my favorite players.

I do realize that, that's why I said TECHNICALLY, if you want to ignore the state of game, CLG was backdooring and lee sin wasn't. what i'm trying to say is that CLG just won a teamfight, and then pushed inhib. backdooring, strict meaning, is pushing w/o creeps, so yeah they backdoored. but backdooring usually IMPLIES sneaking and killing towers when the other team is unawares/on other side of the map. that's what lee sin did.
lee sin's team just lost fight, he hides from CLG then moves in to auto attack inhib. the only thing that made it not backdooring were the creeps though. letter of the law yes, but not spirit of it.
you're also ignoring the point of the cheese analogy; I'm saying that backdooring is NOT A NEGATIVE term, making our entire discussion pointless. however, you are STRICTLY, by the book correct, so i'll concede.

If we really disliked incorrect things I feel like you'd have a lot more flame for shit you say in GD threads, lol.
1 guy attacking an inhib = push, but the entire enemy team attacking an inhib = backdoor, according to you. I don't think minions matter much if you're considering inhibs, not towers.

trm doesnt die over and over to ganks tho

Managed to catch only last 10 mins of the second game. The game could easily go the other way though, I think Crs just wasn't that decisive in the last team fight. if you want to bait them to baron why camp the bush in mid?
Anyway, how exactly we have wait untill the 2nd game?
|
That Veigar holy shit! fighting vs double buff like it's nothing.
Was pulling for him to 2 shot someone so they could win a team fight and go to a game 3 but jiji too good with the revives gg.
|
Udyr is never gonna kill Swain in lane by himself, the same goes for the reverse. But Swain can bully Udyr and assist ganks much better. Crumbzz feeding double buff to zil allowed jiji to roam all of the lane phase and put even more pressure to top. It wasn't all SYDTKO's misplay, but really being at a disadvantage starting from level 1.

I don't think anyone is doubting DL's mechanics. It's his decision making that's questionable. The main problem his team tends to have with him (other than pulling stupid stunts) is he prioritizes farming and doesn't come to the team fight. It was good that CLG got a good exchange mid with a 4v5 while DL was bot farming. Otherwise everyone would be 'wtf DL where were you?!?!?!'
