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.

It wasn't a HSGG throw. Anyone on their team could have been not retarded and said to fight with two 4000g items more on their team. HSGG was just the one who got caught and was split pushing. Got a 8000g advantage as a team, threw it as a team.


Depend IF someone called it, or IF hotshotgg would listen.

If hotshot went against what his team wanted, and himself said that they should split push against even one of his teammates, then the loss is entirely his fault. If CLG as a team thought hotshot should split push, then it's all their throw, hotshot just was the unfortunate dead.


Cho split would've worked. Cho getting caught and dying twice in under three minutes is entirely his fault. Yeah, they should've fought but it's hard to fight when the enemy team has a better team fight than yours and they're turtling at towers. If CLG fought 5v5 under towers they would've gotten raped. So they split pushed.

Yeah, the split push was not the issue. Even the time he got caught after tping top - the idea wasn't bad, but he tped after m5 were already halfway across the map. Like, if he'd tped when he saw them starting dragon (or even before that) he could have made something happen instead of just dying, instead he waited around, waited for them to get back into position to defend and then just died.

The second death you could see he was looking to meet up with his team and contest baron properly, but he walked over a ward and died to a global initiate comp. Kinda sloppy I guess, but just one of those things. Really unfortunate for clg as they were absolutely playing brilliantly - had a strat and just executed, built a big lead and almost cracked the base, but a couple of mistakes and the game turned.

EDIT: Worth noting that M5 aren't playing the all in counterjungling game that they had been doing in kiev. People are probably going to give saintvicious for talking about that when it was a different style that won M5 the games they won.

neglecting dragon really allowed m5 to get back into the game. clg's arrogance is hilarious. if they had controlled dragon with an early lead, they would have cut off m5's economy for sure. of course, m5's comp is heavily directed at late game, and dragon helped for sure. oh and hs throwing the game lol

once i heard chauster saying: "dragon is overrated", i was like :O

It is overrated. The problem is that when CLG isn't in the position to contest dragon, they're usually also not in the position to punish the other team overcommitting people to take dragon.


If you put it that way, then of course it's not worth risking to contest dragon out of position. But if you've seen most of their matches, they obviously do not attempt/prepare to get in position for dragon fights whatsoever

Chauster is. Chauster also has a really good Vlad, and a good Xerath.

Chauster's like a wonderkid though, he can play every role super well. However the thing is, he doesn't play any role at an absolute world class level.

M5 hasn't lost a single game yet this tournament, it's just like at Kiev except this time the teams are (supposedly) way stronger and higher tier than most of the teams that participated in Kiev.

Not looking good for Dignitas .

The only team that I've seen with an answer to M5's aggression so far is CLG.eu. Though one wonders if that was a fluke/one time ordeal or if CLG.eu truly is adequately prepared to deal with M5 in an offline event.

If they would let him play AP for more than 2 months he would imo.

to be fair... urgot is gonna dominate a melee support (ali) and short range AD (vayne). Thats just my opinion and I don't feel like it was really Dlift throwing it. You could see he had a hard time and just got zoned out by Genja's fantastic urgot play.

Not to mention Genja landed some suhhhhweeet ultis mid game.

Oh and stop giving away free dragons CLG! Behind you give dragon.. ahead you give dragon ?? Can't compute.


they made a pick mistake in the first game. They should have second picked janna and last picked tf to counter ryze but instead they second picked tf for some reason and m5 got janna. The janna + urgot combo is insane apparently, there's so much synergy with the +AD and the glacial shroud armor stacking with two shields.

Well, we'll have the final I was hoping to see tomorrow, excitement-wise - Voyboy, Scarra and QTpie can pull out really big plays or come from behind really well (compared to the excellent mechanics/clinical nature of CLG, give or take Hotshot/Doublelift derps), and Locust can play a brave support as well as GoSu Pepper. Not sure if Dominate's up on Diamond's level, but he's played pretty well this tournament compared to his first few tourneys with Dignitas; really meshes well. And he might bring out Nautilus!

Hopefully Jatt will drop some science on Reddit with some match analysis.

I'm assuming the game treats stacked shields as one shield with regards to passive abilities triggered while the shied is up - if Terror Capacitor (7 second duration) is up at the same time as Eye of the Storm (5 second duration), the slow on attacks and the AD bonus will remain up for either the duration of their related shield or until the shield is negated by damaage, right, rather than damage specifically negating one shield (and associated passive benefit) before another?

Chauster routinely outlanes Reginald, Dyrus, Xpecial, jiji, and tons of other NA pros. He's probably one of, if not the, best solo laners in the world. His late game team fighting isn't quite up to part imo but his laning is fucking insane.

Doesn't matter. The plan would straight up not have worked. Vlad bullies cho at that stage, and cho can't push faster than vlad. That's the main reason he got caught. There was not enough pressure so m5 got opportunities to move around on the map and threaten cho.

Reecopibe: REPORT CHO GATH PLEASE

Hehehe...

I don't think it's a big deal HS got caught. It happens. Especially with split pooshers, but it makes games more exciting. Lee Sin is really strong. SO TRUE. One big problem almost all AD's have with nocturne is the ult dive. Since your allies aren't always gonna be in position to save you, then you either have to be tristana, because if you kill noct u get low, or get some more defensives

One thing I really hated was that the last fight ended without me understanding wtf happened. I just watched DL get ulted. The spectator experience of LoL is worse than that of SC2.


My impression of that fight was that Hotshot went in with the team slightly lagging behind. He tried to rupture but M5 dodged. They focussed him hard while Kennen ulted into the rest of CLG and drove them off. Cho falls and the rest of CLG is cleaned up.
That fight could have gone the other way if Cho could have hit Kennen with the rupture and the rest of the team would have blown him up. That happened in the fight before at tower.

Yup, i think there is a matchup imbalance in favour of M5 at the AD lane but jiji TF helped them stay in it i guess? Yup and urgot has the amazing mid game and very nice item progression (like ryze)

This is theory crafting (league crafting?) but does anyone else think good teamfighting is an undeveloped part of many teams skills? For example, what's the best thing to do against a nocturne ult and a bunch of AOE going off at the same time? That last critical fight CLG was aced without getting a single kill.

How many teams have really practiced this to the point where they can all react appropriately?

In any game you only spend a very small part 5vs5 team fighting, but it's the most important part. In pretty much any fight we have seen top class players still making mistakes in positioning and choices. Part of this is that you're reacting to what 9 other players are doing, but couldn't this be improved with some dedicated team fight practice?
It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.

Much respect for both teams. I think they're very evenly matched skillwise, I just wish CLG had picked better.
