It is a throw in the sense that M5 wildly misplayed that. If you don't think they misplayed it and threw the game, then you have to say that there is no way for Anivia/Soraka to ever have their base turrets pushed down. I think M5 should have just manned up and dove way before the respawn timers got to the 60 second mark.

Maybe people will start taking Anivia/Soraka every game and play for super late 60 minute games.

All the hype about CLG.EU comeback, when M5 just failed really hard. Need more intelligent fans; that game was sad to watch.

For all those saying what an amazing game it was.

Just because one team did something wrong doesn't mean it isn't a great game. Often it's because the other team forced them into that mistake, which is why it's a great game.

I guess we're all responsible of doing it every now and then (looking down on games because of what perspective you're looking at), but Chaox's tweet was really in poor taste. As much I like TSM, it doesn't make sense to use your public pulpit in such fashion (i.e. "need more intelligent fans" is very offensive).

M5 should've closed the game out (obviously) to avoid this exact possibility. Also AlexIch started to do random troll moves, face checking and not using his zhonya's >_<;:
GG though.

Can't use zhonya when you're stunned or silenced. He and vlad were getting 100-0'd without CC ever letting up - might have something to do with the fact that CLG had 5 hard CCs (counting silence since it shuts down zhonya) - many of them AoE, ALL of them on short CDs, plus anivia wall, and M5 had only Lee's ultimate for CC. If they dove 20 minutes earlier 5v5 maybe they could have won a fight but against that much CC and with none to show for themselves they were relying entirely on blowing CLG up before getting CC'd.

M5 just didn't have the composition to go up against that much CC in the late game. Kudos to CLG EU for hanging on by a thread for that long - if anyone at all on CLG had gotten poked down too low at the wrong time during the siege, it was all over.

No, it was a bad game because most of the game (and keep in mind it was over 60 minutes) was two teams standing off at a turret killing minion waves. If you find that interesting...yeah

It was a good game to me because:

-A team I highly dislike, but still have much respect for in terms of skills, like M5 lost a massive lead to
-A team I think is very over rated like CLG.eu

So yes, while you can choose to focus on the perspective that M5 threw the game; I focus on the perspective that CLG.eu forced their hand in little ways that amounted to a clutch victory.

People will watch hour-long games of baseball, chess, etc. (all of which I could also argue are pretty damn boring) and find it enjoyable. If you don't agree with that, fine. If you find it logical to question people's intelligence based on what they like or dislike...yeah.

Chaox is probably just buttfrustrated that they couldn't even make it out of the groupstages the last time they played m5.

On the contrary, TSM has been on top of the NA scene lately. I think if it's out of frustration, it has more to do with how the GESL tournament is going.

But yeah, there is probably a slight bit of resentment towards m5

an issue that I had with the game was Genja's lack of lifesteal. I felt his GA was not utilized properly, as even when he came back to life there was no way he could survive with only 750 health and nothing else. Basically as soon as he took any damage during the teamfight there was no way he could gain that life back

I thought the resentment, if any, was towards CLG. Rather than saying CLG made a great comeback, he focused on M5's bad play.

Not agreeing or disagreeing btw, since I haven't seen the match anyway.

Did anyone else notice Vladimir selling his Abyssal Scepter at 56:30 for a Needlessly Large Rod? What the hell was he thinking? How is that a remotely good decision? Maybe if he could afford to one-shot the 2nd Deathcap it would be ok (I still don't think so), but selling a full item for just a NLR, giving him 10 extra AP whilst losing 57 MR (plus the aura)?

That's pants-on-head stupid, and he was rightfully chunked by Froggen in the final fight for his idiocy.

There were some other bad item choices by M5 (Sorcs and Tabi on Karthus/Vlad when they're both being mucked by CC, FoN over QSS on Karthus), but this one is just... so... stupid...

Darien (Vladimir)'s Item Path:
+ Show Spoiler +
Boots of Speed
Will of the Ancients
Ninja Tabi
Rylai's Crystal Scepter
Amplifying Tome
Abyssal Scepter
Amplifying Tome
Rabadon's Deathcap
Thornmail - I have no idea why he would get this over Hourglass.
Thornmail - (about 7 minutes after buying it) Apparently he didn't either.
Will of the Ancients - Considering Karthus didn't have one, nobody on his team but Lee had any sustain and everyone did lots of spell damage, this is perhaps an even worse decision than selling the Abyssal later on - plus it was done at a point in time where M5 was still ahead
Zhonya's Hourglass - finally at 52 minutes he gets this core item
Void Staff - I don't think it's worth selling Will of the Ancients for this. CLG was all under 110 MR. Damage is nice but WotA brings so much to the team. Sell the Rylai's if you really need MPen, the slow is worthless late game.
--- this is where the bottom lane teamfight happens ---
Abyssal Scepter - WHAT IN GOD'S NAME?
Needless Large Rod -WHY?
--- this is where Vladimir gets 2-combo'ed by Anivia because he has no spellvamp to heal back and only has 50 MR ---

Yes that facecheck at blue when CLG were probably ahead was one of the throws.........

So many people misinterpreting this game like it was some amazing display of skill.


huge gold advantage early-mid, all the barons, map control, huge tankiness, denied anivia from blue a ton and M5 still lost because they couldn't win before late game

if you still want to argue that they didn't throw, well I think you're just bias. They were stupid by giving froggen anivia in the first place
O_O

tell me how they could push down the tower even with the 20k advantage

Actually Corki could just have went and hit top/bottom tower once between waves, while everyone was still sitting mid. CLG had no wards, nobody would have noticed and they couldn't have left mid tower either. Tank tower for 1 attack (with triforce proc), pull back. Considering they were trying to take that mid tower down for like 20 minutes, it would have been enough time to poke a tower down
.


Actually wickd and snoopeh were mirroring corki that entire time, defending the side he went to nonstop. it was just a good defense and a good show you can let ppl watch if they are 20k behind that its never over untill the nexus falls
