Keep the rage to a minimum. This includes wait times between games, music, and balance.

Fair warning to all.

M5 showed they can lose the early game and still win the game even against the best teams in the world.

I don't need to know LoL to understand that when you are unable to win a game from a sizable lead both games, you aren't on the same level.


well thats completely disregarding the fact that they got the lead

so that statement can be
"i dont need to know about LoL to know that when a team gets leads consistently, its the better team"

iG needs to work on some later game stuff


Getting a small lead is not that hard. Letting the opponent come back again and again shows huge holes in your play.


Lol, so was the lead small or sizable? Make up your mind and stop contradicting yourself.

Yeah. This is the main reason M5 wins games imo. Their team fighting is just above everyone else in my opinion.

Two fights in a row Shen is off split pushing and whoever he ults is killed before he teleports in. Really going poorly because of that. (and because Vlad keeps getting caught out early.

If Shen starts the ult before Vlad pool, the pool protects the channel and guarantees Shen getting through. Illusion is just bad and keeps ulting too late.

IG tries to bait with Vlad but instead it's Illusion baiting PDD into dying.


i agree, that seems like a strategy they practiced and shen just keeps missing his timing

edit: and diamond is unreal, just unreal, it's like he mindhacks the opposing jungler

PDD had a great start, but so fail mid/late game

Again, those plays were fine. They were stronger at that point in time, and if Illusion played properly, the baits could have worked.

The problem is Illusion being slow/not coordinating properly. You should always 100% be able to get Shen ult through with Vlad because Vlad can pool to protect your channel. Not ulting before the pool is inexcusably bad play from Illusion.

I'm thinking TPA vs Najin is going to be just as one-sided.

Unless Woong has some sort of extreme weak play, Najin is going to take it.

I think that the finals are more or less living up to the hype so far. Really great play as far as I can tell.

M5 is such a resilient team. Even when they are down 5 kills, they don't look "behind".

Like Yango said multiple times, PDD is good and with the exception of that last time being caught (the game was already over at that point and iG as a whole were already falling apart and ready to surrender), every time he was "caught" was very likely a bait that was poorly executed by Illusion. If Illusion started his channel on time, Vlad wouldn't have died or even gotten below 50% due to how Shen ult and Vlad pool interacts.
