Triple jungle ban but leave cow open? Seems questionable from MTW.

edit - @above Spectator is synced with player's game.

Honestly, I'd leave Shyvana open because you know that all Saint does on Shyvana is try to dive your AD Carry as hard as possible, even if it's not the correct decision. Maybe they were scared of Ori-Shyvana combo? Then again, I am bad at drafting.

Even if they first picked Ali and somehow Curse banned Shen there's still Mundo open. Saint's competitive jungle pool may be small, but it's not quite old-HSGG-level bannable.

Why does aphromoo/muffinQT like to run Tristana + Soraka? It feels to me that they have the worst synergy possible.

Who decided to let westrice play Akali? He goes from the weak link to the best player on the team.

Jungle cow in a tournament is different than in solo queue. If your team is confident they can not get ganked via wards and not pushing then cow is pretty weak.

Cop+Ele isn't at the level where they can just farm champions with Graves. Which is kinda what Graves should be doing against a weak lane. A little odd. Most likely mTw is looking for the team-fight power rather than lane power.

Soraka's mana sustain is useless on Tristana - Tristana does not use E spam to harass. Tristana wins lanes via being aggressive and goes all-in - Soraka does not help with that. I think Tristana needs an aggressive support such as Alistar or Leona.

This is not the first time I see this pairing, but honestly I feel that this is not the ideal combination.

And Soarka has more team fight power....? More than Leona?

Maybe they just wanted Soraka in their teamcomp instead of going for the lane. At the tournament level bot lane, just like all lanes, is just a farm fest. They probably want Soraka because shen ult + soraka ult turns around ganks so well which is what cow and akali will be looking to do.

The heal is pretty big reversal power against the burst of, say, Akali who wants to chain kills. Soraka+Anivia helps turtle if they need to. Passive helps too. Having a ranged support in lane is also a big deal rather than Leona's melee. Ranged-CC from the silence also helps more than the melee-stun. That's how I see it at least.

Well now I think about it they are also running Anivia, so Soraka will help in that aspect.

But this is such a farm feast on the bottom lane.... if Tristana does not get ahead in the early game it's hard to win the mid game with her.

Considering how passive they're playing and with Anivia turtle+Shen splitpush, I think they're content to just let it run into the late-game and have Nunu press W on Trist.

Aphro/muffin don't even need to try and push Graves or even win lane. Just make it to mid/late game and all team fights will be 4v5 since SV has no successful ganks as Ali which will make him so useless after the initial hb/pulv.

I am trying to learn a little bit of lol and this is for sure really boring for me

That one hour long game earlier with the Spawn Ultimate by Reginald I think (the player not the champ idk what champ it is lol) was fun to watch.
