Match point for them. Can't blame 'em.

Since they played so predictably last game, I wonder if they were trying to save things for the M5 games. If they were, looks like they're going to have to bust everything out now.

Wouldn't it be great if they run that Nunu top?

Not surprised to see Alistar/Corki as CLG.EU's first picks, once Nunu was taken - I'd assumed the Ez ban was to be able to FP Corki.

so funny how long ezreal went from being a "super bad ad carry with no dmg" primarily because people took oddone's word for granted, to being banmaterial hehe

If Reginald said that Janna was a bad Support, would you believe him?

Oh dear, I don't have a lot of faith in Snoopeh's Skarner :/

It's been ages since I've seen a pirate vs croc matchup - is it salvageable by a GP running huge amounts of armour and maxing oranges, or will Wickd roll over him?

SK Gaming Bans: Karthus, Anivia, Ezrael
CLG.eu Bans: Yorick, Shen, Malphite

SK Gaming Picks: Nunu // Udyr Orianna // Ashe Gangplank
CLG.eu Picks: Alistar Corki // Skarner Morgana // Renekton

CLG.eu with a very typical Korean comp. Let's see if they can actually run it.

tbh, I'm still not entirely sure why the sudden surge in Ezreal's popularity. W is crazy strong, but his performances in major tourneys and stat-wise in solo q, he's been underperforming especially relative to Corki/Graves.

Haven't we been over this a lot? It had more to do with everyone maxing Q. Once W-max Ez came out, then it caught on like fire.

Just from looking at the comps, it feels like CLG.eu has to take the driver's seat or lose lategame. Ashe is BOSS lategame and you will not reach her with only Renekton have a short range gap closer. Morgana must react quickly enough to shield the arrow initiate.

CLG is playing a mid-game heavy comp. Once you have your ultimates up, you have boss level initiate and can punish people hard. The thing is... can CLG play that style?
