WATCH LoL Dude, you've repeated that you watch lol in every post and guess what, we don't really care as that's no argument. Should floorball have 10x the viewers tennis gets, because the amount of players is vastly greater than in tennis 1v1? | ||

WATCH LoL By that logic, baseball should have 10-20x as many viewers as tennis, because there are so many more baseball players on a team. Makes 0 sense. | ||

WATCH LoL So if game #1 is a 1v1 game with 500k active players and game #2 is 5v5 game with 500k active players the second one should have 5 times more viewers? Why? Do you think WoW streams have 100k times the viewers of a SC2 stream? | ||

It is just that your logic is so retarded, it inflicts mental pain to me. At the beginning I was sure that you were trolling. I thought you were quite funny. Now I just have a little bit of hope left that you actually are. | ||

CLG Interview with HSGG Rivington: So coming into the first game,what was going through you mind when you saw you were against that global comp? HSGG: Since IEM, we know that Moma likes to play Karthus so we banned it. We were surprised that they didn't ban Shen. They were probably like: "Oh, this guys sucks at Shen, it doesn't matter if we give it to him", hahaha. Rivington: So have you been working on Shen since then I guess? HSGG: Yeah, I've been practising Shen a lot. I used to build him wrong and play him improperly but it's much better now. Rivington: So how was the Anivia pick working for you in both of those games then? HSGG: Jiji is a really good Anivia and he's been playing it for a long time. One of his walls zoned like 4 people in one of the games, it was ridiculous. And that then let us pick off people one by one however we wanted to. Rivington: One of your things is not prioritising Dragon. You don't feel like fight for it if it's bad for you. You gave up a lot of early game control first game. HSGG: We fell behind on global gold, but so long as Shen is strong enough to 1v1 splitpush and the other 4 don't get caught, then it all works out. So it was fine for us, we didn't mind. Rivington: Fizz was an interesting pick from aAa. Do you have any thoughts on it? HSGG: Fizz is a really bad pick in a 1v2 lane so we forced them to sent Leona there. Our lanes weren;t like that. We pulled a lane against the assassin comp, and then they were forced to respond to us rather than being able to make plays. Rivington: So then how else did you prepare for the lane swap and make sure you had the advantage from it? You were running TP on GP. HSGG: We have an advantage due to the positoning on the map from TP. That means we can force initiatives, pressure the map, take dragon. And then we have TP pressure late game as well, like I can go top after a fight and push it in or fight Urgot bottom and then suddenly appear elsewhere. Rivington: aAa travelled here, long flight, maybe jetlag. So it's affected their play. Same for you coming from Korea. Monomatic has been talked about a lot. Big up and coming contenders from the qualifiers. Do you have any thoughts? Are you scared? HSGG: It's tough this IPL with the competition. Dignitas is looking really strong, TSM is an accomplished team. Curse is also really good. Those would be my picks for this tournament I think. Rivington: So what do you do at night at Vegas? HSGG: Nights were we don't have games, we do whatever we want. But we learnt from New York that partying before a match is not a good ting hahaha. Rivington: Do you have any plans? We know you don't normally ever say HSGG: Hm yeah. The thing is that since we were overseas people haven't seen us play a lot of champions because due to the ping we don't play champions with skillshots and stuff like that. But now it's going to be a lot more different. Rivington: So with the trip to Koera, how has that helped out with everything? HSGG: We came in to Korea rusty because we didn't have everything set up. Once we had everything set up, and we got a bit of help- no, we got a lot of help from our friend Locodoco. Rivington: So how did it work? Was it like hey they're more aggressive in Korea, and different meta, or what? HSGG: They're just like, really really really aggressive. They don't take into consideration the jungle unless they have the lanes really pushed and pinned down. They play so differently. Rivington: You guys have any moving plans after IPL? HSGG: We're going back to Korea after this, but we're also considering a gaming house in California aAa Interview with Moma Rivington: So how are you feeling after those games then? Moma: We're disappointed. It could have gone so much better but we lost straight up 2:0. Rivington: You're probably feeling tired. When did you get in to Vegas then? Moma: Yesterday. We used the time to check out the place and prepare. We thought we were good to play against CLG but then they have good midgame and get the Nashor and lose first game. Rivington: So the global team comp in the first game, why didn't you use Shen? Or why didn't you ban Shen? Moma: We totally forgot about Shen. We thought we could handle it. In the IEM, we played Nidalee against Shen and destroyed him but it didn't work this game and we couldn't catch him and we lost. We couldn't initiate on them and then we lose game as a result. Rivington: Being a dominant Fizz player, and understanding how it works, they chose to 2v1 you. How do you play against that? Moma: There's no way to actually counter it. nRated (Leona) needed to come up and support me. It's ok after level 6 but until then it's so bad. He does so much dame to me with the AD Carry to we needed to do something. It was ok eventually, but then we got aced at one stupid point and it was over then. Rivington: It seemed like you guys had the advantage and momentum early game in both games. You had TF first game, dragons and even stole one. Moma: It was good. We took dragon and some towers, they took some towers. But then Shen was always split pushing, and always escape with ghost on Shen and then we can't catch him. We can't initate on them. So hard for us. Rivington: So the split push was a problem. You lose a lot of dps trying to stop the Shen. So then, do you have anything planned that you haven't shown on stream or to others? Moma: We don't actually have anything planned. We were so focused on beating CLG the past few days. Didn't do any other preparation. We need to wait and see who we face before we do anything. Curse Interview with Elementz Rivington: So we didn't see your games, but can you give us a quick run down of what happened? Elementz: They surprised us with a Kayle Nunu pick bottom lane and first blooded Pobelter top. But we managed to push in bot and denied Kayle cs. We took a Dragon advantage and then in mid-game fights we had a farm advantage and then we won. It wasn't like a snowball, but more like chipping away from them. Rivington: So did the Kayle Nunu pick work? Elementz: Yeah, the Kayle Nunu worked really well and they could really kill us haha. Second game, Pobelter got camped top again as well hahahaha. Rivington: Pobelter is someone who doesn't really go to tournaments much and you're rarely ever had the full 5 for Curse. And he doesn't come to tournaments, and then just gets camped top lane. It must suck. Elementz: Yeah haha. He was playing Lee Sin both games. Maybe that's why. Rivington: So what were the bans from you? Elementz: Both games we banned Vlad, Udyr and Vayne. Rivington: And what about Epik? What did they ban? Elementz: They banned Kogmaw, Mayokai, and I can't remember the other one. Rivington: How was the dragon control from you guys? Elementz: I kept warding their entire side. I had a really good ward control of our bottom side. So we could do whatever we wanted. I always had a stack of pink wards. Rivington: How do you feel about the competition? Elementz: Yeah, we know them. We've played TSM a lot. We know Dignitas. v8 we've played a lot and they're actually pretty good. They might make it far. It's strong competition. Rivington: So what did you do last ngiht before the games then? Elementz: Last night was pretty passive. We went out for dinner, had a couple of drinks. Then went back and relaxed. I watched a movie, Gladiator and just chilled haha. Rivington: What was it like playing here at IPL then? Elementz: We played 10 or 15 min after CLG started. The casters are loud, so we can't hear each other and we need to yell really loudly haha. Rivington: What do you think of the CLG aAa cgame Elementz: Well, they're similar teams. I mean they have Nidalee poke as one strategy. I wouldn't give it to either one of them since it's theoretically a close matchup. Rivington: So CLG won that yah. You also had a good showing. Any shoutouts? Elementz: We have a Facebook thing. We're signing 5 shirts. Go to Facebook, Team Curse. Also, check our website lolpro.com ! | ||
