FotM stuff maybe? Other top ban/picks include Rumble, Vladimir if you want double AP. Malph, Shen, Irelia, Jax, Yorick in general. Dunno how big the Kennen nerf was since I don't play much Kennen.

Looks like Jayce has been banned anyway, which isnt too surprising as they had no real answer to him last game.

I don't know if Ashe is that strong vs Noc + Shen + Ahri jumping on her.

And laning phase will now be hell with Ez getting two kills in the lvl 1 fight.

Wow incredibly aggressive lvl 1 play. Nearly every single summoner used. Fnatic pick up two kills on Ezrael and now have a 1k gold lead from assists.

Really unfortunate Gragas ult there, missing two and only hitting a spellshielded Nocturne; Ez escapes on 15 HP.

Despite all these kills for Fnatic, they are surprisingly only ~1.6k gold ahead.

I feel like Ez would have been better off if he went double doran when he got 2 kills. I'd also go IE if I got such a lead early on.

Ugh, nevermind. Peke is throwing in this game. For how bad gragas looks in action, he's so far ahead of ahri...

Yeh. Couldn't really fight extended trades bot once Ashe got a BF+Nunu Bloodboil.

And now the power of Ashe Arrow ->> Gragas Ult comes into play.

Fnatic with 3k gold advantage but it doesn't "feel" like it

How should EZ have started double Doran (950 gold) if he only got 700 gold from two kills?

Not at all :/. Many on Crs have their first big item (including IE for ashe!)

IE+Blood Boil is going to be terror, especially when you look at the kiting capabilities with Nunu, Olaf with FM, Ashe, etc.

Also Crs has a buttload of attack speed reducement. FH on Malph, Malph E, Grag barrel. Should be stronk against Noc, Shen, Ez.

Crs throwing a bit now

@Celial:

Get first doran and boots, get a bit of gold, go back and get (zerker+) another dblade whilst the other guy has enough for just dblade. Or, if you have enough of a lead in early laning, rush BF.
