And we can see all the kot ult nerfs are justified.

Crossing my fingers for Froggen Ori next game. Assuming TSM bans Anivia AND Kog, then Froggen will play either Ori or Ahri right?

CLG really pulled ahead when Chaox derped into all 5 of CLG trying to chase down Yellowpete through Soraka burst heal and Shen ult.
even tho froggen carried the shit out of that, you really can't ignore how well all of CLG played and their picks. Between shen ult and soraka heal/ult TSM couldn't kill shit.

not enough hard CC + too much protection + froggen being godlike. rofl

Either one of those or Morgana. I don't think he would go for Annie in a Game 3.

Maybe not in lane, but definitely in teamfights. Yeah IDK. Both just get to farm a shitload and Kog ends up being stronger with it because his team isn't forced to dive Karthus to kill him in fights. I didn't see the picks and assumed CLG picked Kog to counter Karthus, not the other way around. :o
No they just first picked Kogmaw.

Yeah, CLG's peels were just great.

But man. Froggen is like the ban soaker for CLG.EU. And even then they still can't shut him down sheesh. 16-0. Disgusting.

They already nerfed him before the tournament started, on Tuesday. This tournament played on Darius patch though.

Wow what a series, Froggen's kog was just INSANE his auto attacks pretty much did more dmg than the AD carries
Only complaint is dan dinh...I appreciate his knowledge of the game but its just getting annoying
|
Pretty pointless to try and ban out froggen imo. TSM should just pick strong lanes so they can dominate that blue buff like they did in game 1.
|
One of the things Scarra said about Froggen's KogMaw is he goes tear/rylai's instead of building RoA like Jacky. The only way he can get away with it because they always pick a Soraka support to go with AP Kog. Early Rylai's so scary, pick away Soraka if you can I guess, didn't catch the picks.

imo banning mids isn't worth it vs. CLG.EU Froggen has more than 5 champs he can carry with

Actually mentioned this already but I'm still annoyed by the trend to say, ban this ban that when you see a good performance in a tournament.
people gotta keep in mind he was 0/0/4 until TSM made a very dicy Baron call with all members starting sub 50% essentially jailbreaking him from early game ap kog a good 10 min before anyone on TSM was "lategame"

I saw this too, (I use Jackie's build) it actually was super strong, it's what got him the 4th kill at baron for sure.

I agree his Anivia is better but that doesn't say a lot. His AP Kog is probably the best out there (Along with Anivia)

In 90% of the games, he does not die. I am not even kidding, that is about the statistic. He is INSANELY good..
