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.

You do not want to pick a weak duel jungler vs M5 unless your mid lane/top/support are all really deadly champs (lb, ali, akali?). They are gonna be in your jungle, they will have a good duelist, they probably will have their support near.

I think a real discussion should be if the move to EU caused TSM's play to suffer.

Scarra so right, game 2 was done at champ select, their comp was horrible.


To be fair, M5's pick/ban phase is fucking nuts. It's a large part of their success imo. Not that their lanes are bad, they're amazing. And Diamond might be the best jungler in the world too. But their pick/ban phase makes them really strong.

Alex Ich best captain in the world (By the way also very charismatic and with good interviews imo)

I think that's the biggest lesson from the finals. In both games, M5 got the exact comp they wanted.

I believe in a Reddit AMA or something, Jatt said the reason Dignitas was (once) dominant was that it dominated picks and bans, and always had a superior team comp to the opponent.

Alex Ich also mentioned in one of the interviews that they train certain strategies on mid-tier teams (no idea what he thinks is mid tier though) before actually using them in tournaments.

I agree with the sentiments that the only teams that can compare to m5 are the 2 clgs and thats because they have counters to m5. Clg.eu hass the 2nd best top who can compete with genja and clg.eu teamplay is amazing and clg.us has the best jungler who is saint. Idk we shall see in the future if anyone can counter the crazy agressivness from m5

Rivington: So, Scarra what was it like. You got focused hard. Constant jungle pressure.
Scarra: We had a stratgy going in but it didn't work out. We should have warded our red area and that kill from Lee Sin was what really set us back hard. And we knew you could use Urgot in gimmicky strats but we didn't expect that. They really changed things up and out-played us. They definitely deserved this win.
Rivington: You guys played so well here. Undefeated this entire tournament. Where did you feel that you finally had the win over Dignitas?
Alex Ich: We had strategy for first game. They had perfect pick for us to run this strat. Then second game we had psychology. And we pick solid and take it from there. And we can use mental edge for snowball.
Rivington: Did you guys expect Dignitas to be able to respond to your strategies well?
Alex Ich: They couldn't adapt to our style like CLG did. We were much more aggressive taking small objectives. From all the teams. I mean. We had splitpush from CLG. We had team fight from Dignitas. But we have counterjungle from strategy us.
Rivington: So from the picks and bans How did you want to counterpick M5?
Scarra: We knew M5 wanted Lee Sin so we traded him for Shyvana. We had a plan Blue, Wolves, Red, Golems, Bot lane. But then we should have expected the invade when their support was nowhere to be seen. It was a really bad play on our part. And once that happened we didn't know what to do and we fell apart.
Rivington: So how was the whole plan game 2?
Scarra: We should have executed better. We had some idea but we should have adapted better to their strategy. We shouldn't have picked Shyvana and Irelia second game because we didn't know Dar1en played Shen but then they did. We did badly. They outpicked us and out played us so they deserve this win.
