I feel disgusted, it's like sending Lin Dan to Wimbledon because badminton has some similarities to tennis. I mean, no Smite Warwick really? They probably haven't even played enough games of LoL.

Has anyone else been getting enormous amounts of video lag for the last hour or so of IEM?

It's been fine for me but I'm only at 480p.

Entirely fine for me.
And that teamfight was well-played, TF almost baited Trist to her death but Lulu ult + kiting OP.

Trist's lategame is all "fuck you guys" now.
Just as I type that, Orianna totally whiffs an ults, Cho hits a rupture, and Tristana goes boom.

ITA is trying so hard to throw this game. They may have succeeded.

Pretty unimpressive game here between BKT and ITA... Very sloppy.

This is pretty much the Southpark episode "No More Baseball." Nobody wants to win.

Three inhibs down and BKT's going back up? Yeah, that's game I'd think, especially with TF willing to backdoor if ITA tries to push out.

7/0/2 Twisted Fate on BKT is taking MYM apart.

Edit: Oh god, that was awful from BKT - score goes from 10-2 to 10-7 with baron on MYM.

I'm so bored from the low quality of these games. At least earlier it was entertaining in being a back and forth game of throwing, but now this is just tiring.

Well, I'm always negative

.

The teams at this IEM are just not strong enough to enjoy watching*.

*Except when I'm laughing at the ridiculous misplays, but that's not really what I look for in a tournament barring the odd early lopsided match and even then it's usually only by the outmatched side, not both.

Considering how this game went, I think TF going lich was a mistake. Could've had dcap instead because they need to poke down before a fight to have a chance.

Quadra for vayne before the game ends in favor of MYM

I don't think it made a difference. They were sufficiently ahead and there was no reason for that to change based on Lich vs Deathcap.

The problem is they forced a fight and then misplayed it tremendously which cost them 5-0 and put MYM back in the game. Ezreal walked through MYM's entire team trying to get another shot on a low HP tank, which a.) wasted a ton of time where he wasn't shooting better targets and b.) put himself in a terrible position, which resulted in his death..

Since MYM had two hypercarries and both picked up many kills (let me take this opportunity to reiterate how terrible of a concept kill/assist CD resets are), that immediately led to another crushing teamfight and from there the game was virtually unwinnable.

It's hard to get excited for some of the more unknown teams unless the games themselves can get people pumped. The semifinals probably won't be all that exciting but the finals might have some potential if it's aL.NA vs MYM.

Dunno if you realize that you're saying aL.NA vs MYM might be the most interesting game of the championship. It would be a low-priority pool match in any other tournament... >>
