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

Fair warning to all.

Remind me again why BT rush on Vayne is the norm? Attack Speed Vayne is always mocked but that looked really strong.

Honestly because of silver bolts attack speed vayne should be more common, but I think BT first is just because of her terrible laning phase.

TPA picked a teamcomp that's way out of their comfort zone.

Dunno what they were thinking.

Life steal helps to mask mistakes or if you're going to duel a lot. If you're just gonna sit back and DPS life steal isn't needed and with the team comp that M5 is running the life steal isn't needed in this case.

Yeah, you get a fuck ton of free AD when you ult and Vayne/Kog both scale harder off AS than other ADs do.

Again, this is coordinated and makes tons of sense.

Nunu rushes zeke's (instead of building philo at all)
Vayne goes PD first
+ Nunu buff
+ Vayne ult

It's a beautiful way to make Vayne's midgame a LOT better, and I love M5 for this.


this is what a friend and i do on nunu kog, zekes after boots while he gets some combo of zeal/pd/ie



CLGeu did this with Kog last game.


haha not saying we innovated it, just that it seemed so obvious to us that i'm surprised i never see similar stuff in matchmaking


Yea that was mistype on my part I wasn't insinuating anything


no worries

This is the first time I saw it coupled with PD -> black cleaver on the AD.

Which only makes it better, because I have a huge mancrush on BC

When Vayne is played right she doesn't even feel like a targetable option just tumbling around kicking ass

Eve just stomps. Doesnt even matter if she gets zoned in a 1v2 lane early game. Hilarious.

M5 definantly going to win this entire tournament if teams continue refusing to ban eve.


It's weird, I think Eve has been banned nearly every other game but for some reason iG and TPA want to try and play against Alex Ich Eve.

Phreak has a good point. If you watch M5 closely, they are AMAZING at teamfight vs Karthus. They force Toyz into shitty positioning where he won't be able to suicide. It helps Eve is OP ;D

I think Genja went for BC because AS, because damage + armor pen. Last whisper wouldnt have worked as well as that BC

Painful loss for TPA because they intentionally gave M5 Eve this match, being confident in their lane swap. They will ban it next game.

Yeah, if they don't ban eve I will be astonished.

Eve is 100% OP. That's why she's been banned more than any other champ this tournament lol.
