FUAAARKKKK Also whenever I see a series go the full 3 like this it just feels fake. Like TSM played so well the first game now this throw? Feels fake? Really? So all matches should be 2-0 for you to think gg? The whines in this thread...
When it swings so far in either direction it just feels shady to me. You're right though throw was the wrong word, I meant momentum swing, TSM carried none of it from the first game win.

Or they could ban Shen and stop the global cockblocks on ganks. Or both. Then CLG is SOL.
Or on twitch, twitch tends to run better in na than eu and vice versa.

Why is TSM banning Alistar? Did I miss something? Why not ban Shen?
Oh YES! Ashe to stop that split push.

tbh tho, TSM should've predicted that lane swap with Ez and Yorick pick. Ez is probably the most abusive AD laner in a 2v1 lane due to his high Q damage. Not having a support means Ez's Qs are more likely to connect and stick. Yorick has been picked as a 1v2 laner since his first showing at a tourney. It's entirely TSM's fault for not adapting to a pretty obviously telegraphed lane swap.

But it's now such an obvious part of CLG's repertoire I don't think it's even cheese anymore.
Yeah, calling lane swapping cheese is so dumb. It's just out smarting your opponents and picking better lanes lol. It's the opposite of cheese.

Not another boring slugfest, sure it can be interesting to watch and kinda tense when well executed (CLG.eu can do that), but they are certainly exhausted their supply of slugfest for the tournament already, and CLG.na can't make them interesting.

yes, but a skill with an auto reset has an additional 1.0 AD ratio.

I mean everyone knew he was always potentially the best AD Carry but he's really showing his improvement here. IMO, DL just has the best mechanics of any AD, although Chaox and others aren't far behind. It's just that CLG has the playstyle (especially Chauster) to make him truly shine. For example, as discussed in previous pages, CLG really knows how to turn the tides at low health battles and doing all kinds of bait tactics that can showcase DL's mechanics. I think it's also that doublelift appears to have really worked on his positioning and mentality on ad carries. In previous tournaments you could see him derping and moving aggressively into teamfights and getting caught and dying and losing clg teamfights as a result. This tournament he has always been moving and positioning appropriately, kiting backwards, attacking safe targets and just generally playing better. Combined with the mad cc that clg has been packing its been extremely difficult for other teams to jump on him and shut him down.

Thanks for link. Wish it was Jatt stream, but ol' story of beggars/choosers. Just venting and wishing this player would work after spending $20. Been so laggy all weekend.
TSM spots CLG Soraka-GravesKog and lets them keep Shen jungle. Interesting. Let's hope their straight-up play is just as strong as in game 1.
EDIT: Oops, Koggles.

Ppl keep forgeting that a big portion of those cs comes from wraiths and wolves and so the g old isnt the same as regular lane creeps Yeah Reginald took a lot of gold from the TheOddOne which, whilst still obviously worth it, isn't just free income for him. Hotshot also took a ton of farm off his lanes hence why CLG cs was so bad comparatively.
My original comment isn't on that point at all, while it's completely true. All I meant was that it's pretty sick to see someone in a highlevel proffessional game get so fed off kills that he has a significant amount of extra gold compared to an enemy, who even has 100+ cs on him.

Ugg. "Protect the Kog! Now with split pushing!!"

Why pick malphite before TSM picks their top lane.......
|
Hope TSM can win this vs CLG
|
Aniva would be a great last pick for CLG here.

BW/SC2 fans love it when this happens. It makes for exciting games and obv more games. Sometimes I think LoL viewers fanboy way too hard.
Game 1 and 2, the losers were poorly prepared for the winner's strat. In a BoX series, it creates some excitement.

What I mean is how decisive TSM won the first game and how decisive CLG won the second game.
It really showcases how huge a factor initiative is. CLG looks way out-classed when it's TSM making the plays against them, but if you have CLG with a curveball strategy, TSM are the ones looking inferior as they try to deal with it.
