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.

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.


And all of that totally pales in comparison to being able to nullify displace from gragas ult. All the shields, displaces and movements buffs are gonna do jack shit after kog got knocked into the enemy team. Morg shield stops that from happening, everything past that is secondary.

It's kog, he explodes (twice) if he gets out of position for a split second.

I think people are really misplacing 'blame' on the TSM team. Regi's 'missed ults' were pretty on point, but Nyjacky showed some fantastic reaction time black shields(thus making the ults look like duds). Rainman got dunked on by the exhausts+initial focus. It really comes down to the fact that Crs went all-in on a Nunu+Kog lane vs Sivir+Sona, Sivir/Sona needs to dominate that matchup, and they didn't. The game seemed to turn at that point where Kog finished his IE and Chaox kept hesitating to recall to finish his, and from that point on Kog kept himself 1 item up on Sivir.

Black Shield prevents Regi from ulting Kog into their whole team. Cop was out of position a couple times and he got bailed out. Maybe if you're considering perfect positioning Ori's shield and speed buff is more valuable, but for that game it was not.
Hey! How you doin'?

SK grabs dragon, kills two of Sypher and takes a 20 minute Baron.

Sypher down 5k gold, 6 kills, 2 towers.

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.


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

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


This is a fairly accurate play of what happened. TRM was always first in, first to die, lolol.

Yeah, when people though that Garen solo top is trash. PDD just shut down his opponent so hard. Was that in the WCG 2011?

I'm so far behidn on the ESPORTS scene but I'm so so tempted to watch this night to try and catch up on how TSM/Curse/M5 are doing now. Last tourney I saw M5 impressed me like no other team before.
