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.

regardless, TOO is so good, stuck with such bads, poor guy. i have also seen a ton of people hype xpecial's play but i was not uber impressed. xpecial + chaox is supposed to be the best bot lane combo right? why are they losing to elementzzzzzz


They didn't, they had an advantage for quite a while, although I was puzzled that they failed to press it. At one point chaox + xpecial had total ward coverage and kog had no pots and no mana while chaox had all 3 of his pots left and they didn't make any effort at all to zone kog. was really weird.

there was absolutely nothing TRM could have done, they got comped too hard. bot lane needed to destroy the weak nunu lane for that game to be winnable and they just didn't.

Regi missed several key ults that could've gave insta gibbs or won teamfights, Chaox constantly got hit by morg Qs and took tons of un-needed dmg and forced his team to play defensive giving up positions, and Kogmaw played amazingly well and got several early kills during teamfights which gave him some huge momentum.

Basically summary of the game from a TSM fanboy lol. That last teamfight was the best one they did all game imo, hope that meant they had their gameplan figured out.


that's because they just went balls out because they knew both exhausts were down and it was the last hope, = rainman can actually dive and kog almost dies.

i dunno, i can see the reasoning behind TSM's comp. split up kog and nunu, then use sivir's ult combined with irelia's true damage and attack speed to destroy the kog. it makes sense. they just executed it so poorly
would you ever miss it?

Mmm, maybe. There was that successful gank bottom which lead to a dragon so after that it's pretty much even.

Cough.


Not just him though. A lot of people, like Two_DoWn, thought the same thing. People need to have a better eye on how teams look at their most recent.

People don't know about dat Nyjacky.


Yeah but this is why preconceived notions are bad. I've said before the event started that Curse would darkhorse it up, and not that one game proves me right, beating TSM is a good sign.

Having laned vs Nyjacky a bunch of times, I can say he's all sorts of scary no matter which champ he's playing.
Hey! How you doin'?

SK just got 1st blood, gold even between both teams now
If you think it's too hard there are solutions other than asking for a nerf, getting better is the first that comes to mind.

yeah it makes sense... i mean you definitely understand what they were going for better than I did... but it still just seems like way too much peeling power. Sivir just cannot get close enough to hit anyone that matters with that comp so all they need to do is peel off rainman and they just have so many tools for it. seems doomed. The weakness of that comp is that their bot lane is weak and they didn't get punished for it.

Vlad and Trist out-csing Udyr and Graves respectively. Cass beating Galio mid.

SK going for first dragon at 13 minutes, gets it for free.

TSM slumping and M5 letting that win get to their heads imo.

Regi always gives FB away and then plays risky whole game, TRM continues to make stupid decisions often dying, Oddone making clutch plays when needed, and Chaox/Xpecial continue to win lane vs anyone they are paired against though not always taking that lead and making plays off it.

People should watch his stream, if they haven't already. His combos with AP carries is top notch~

Usually I'm a huge TSM fanboy (TRM, TOO <3). But I don't know, the sub being German (me being German myself) and the underdog and all that shit made me really root for him - and Curse in the process.
Do not regret. Always forward, never back.

I don't know top lane matchups that well, but jesus, is udyr supposed to be losing like that? Like, you let the lane push because you have lee sin, zone him early, then just destroy him if he comes close. You've got lee sin udyr vs vlad shyv, you can definitely overextend on udyr.

trm needs to stop playing irelia and xpecial should stop playing sona


and imho karthus would be better for regi to deal vs that team comp


has nothing to do with any of those picks imo... they gave curse the combo of morg + kog + nunu.

Morgana not the problem. Orianna is wayyyyyyy better at «protect the kog».


Yeah I don't see how that's even possible for Morg to be less effective than Orianna at defending a Kog vs a Gragas/Sona/Maokai team. All those great timed black shields totally nullified any Gragas ult, Orianna would have to salvage scraps from that.

The black shield only was used to protect Kog from Gragas ult. This + the slow from her ult (she nearly never hit the stun from it). That's all Morg did at protecting Kog. Even thoguh the black shields were nice, an Orianna offers a 6s CD slow+speed up to the Kog, 30MR/30armor and 400hp on the same CD, and very fast nukes to deter anybody new from coming. Not to mention a displacement ult.

Orianna is to me the #1 carry protector mid, even though the Black shield is a very nice skill, Orianna has spammable utility to help the carry.

And if you get her a Rylai it just gets stupid, every time you shield your carry the opponents are slowed, as well as with all the nukes flying.

Sypher vs SK

Shyvana comes in to a pushed bot lane to try for a lane gank, with blitz and trist. Lucky for SK, ocelote come in for a lane gank at the same time with cassio. Blitz gets a pull on graves, and tristana jumps on, however ocelote gets a perfect ult on 3 of them, all die.
Every misfortune is a blessing in disguise.

OK, this is what happend.

TSM always charge in first -> morg ulti 4 people -> everyone pull out -> TRM still fighting because he is already using his Q to charge for Kogmaw -> TSM now charge again but this time its 4v5 - > KogMaw rapes TSM
