Jree, the support who subbed for CLG.eu @ LSC2, and his team will be entering the BYOC bracket.
Apparently his team was the #1 ranked 5 teams on EU. :O

Looking forward to this. All of Dreamhack is going to be full of awesome events.

I'm kind of hoping CLG.EU just go and pick up Jree as their season 3 sub, his synergy with them at MLG Dallas was really impressive considering how little time they had to practice before hand.

The tournament format is really harsh on the BYOC teams. They play 5 rounds on day 1 then play up to a maximum of 9 games on day 2 - 3 bo1 round robin, bo3 semis and finals.
|
I'm confused. You've got all the BYOC games happening at the same time as the group stages. What day are the BYOC games and what day are the group stages?
Edit: So I missed that there were group stage games on Friday. I guess they're going to send the poor BYOC teams through the ringer then. Rough schedule indeed.

Didn't CLG.eu win the last DH through BYOC bracket?
edit: and tbh, it's just a grueling amount of games, that bracket should be stomps 90% of the games anyways. zz

DreamHack Summer was a 3 day tournament with BYOC day 1, Group play day 2, Playoffs day 3. Don't know why they're only using 2 of the 3 days at DH for LoL.

Yea they even did a donate "HELP us to DH" thing at reddit.

Thursday and Friday, duh. What happens on the weekend, why cant they do it then?
Also, are the casters any good?

as someone who played the BYOC last DH. Indeed it IS a rough schedule (we were finished at about 12 with playing the whole day).
Some things about BYOC: it is kinda seeded so it is really unlikely to have several good teams playing each other and most likely the known good teams in the byoc will go through. You also have to play within the masses and have people left and right of you playing (other) games and screaming at each other. In addition to that you dont have good chairs/tables (thats actually kinda a big deal  )

I was thinking it was probably because IEM is also happening, but I just realized that now they completely overlap LOL. Makes no sense to me either.

Yep.
We sent a SC2 player to play in the BYOC Bracket there and we had to arrange for him to have a computer to use.

Dont forget at its core Dreamhack is a giant BYOC event.

The stage used for LoL is DreamArena Extreme, and during day 3 all other games will have their finals there (except SC2), so they are giving LoL the biggest stage they have for two days (except Kinnarps Arena, the nearby hockey arena, used for the SC2 Finals day 3).

Froggen builds so weird.
WotA Chalice Tear.
Tear doesn't even build with R on Anivia :/
|
Too bad Acer didn't notice froggen backed, they could have taken the drake.
Edit: actually, both putting R on and off procs tear for Anivia. Q double-procs it too. It's stupidly fast to charge tear on her, and she's currently the only one on whom it works that way.

Really? I always thought it didn't work with channeled spells (Anivia R, Singed Q, etc).
I'm a noob, looked it up on Wiki. Anivia gets 1 stack for starting R, 1 for ending R.

you launch it and get 1 stack, detonate for another

There goes flashless Udyr. Acer still got CLG to use 3 flashes on that, but with Anivia on CLG's side Acer's flashes are much morre important.
30 minutes, 3-2 for CLG, 43k to 36k and 3-2 in towers.

3:2 kills in favour of clg.eu
42k gold to 36k

Just tuned in, and I see the score at 3-2, told myself oh I didn't miss too much untill I see the game time at 33 mins. Lol it can only be CLG.eu 5 kills in 33 mins game.
|
What is Citizen buying? Rylai, WotA? Got a tome and blasting wand in his inv. maybe DFG?
|
every Froggen wall is forcing at least 1 flash lol...
|
The game's slowly getting boring, though. Acer doesn't manage to poke CLG aggressively, and CLG are way too tanky to mind anyway (Olaf even picked up FoN now) unless yellowpete gets caught, and CLG was ahead in gold, so they simply instaclear waves with Anivia and send someone push top and/or bot every now and then when the wave comes back, while Froggen holds the enemy team at bay.
We know Acer won't play aggressive enough (and simply don't have the initiating power to do so, Udyr, Jayce vs Anivia/Cho? No chance at all) and CLG will simply wait for full builds before pushing against a team that'll cower when they can simply fight them, kill them then push and win.
Typical playstyle, if only they'd learn to push their advantages harder against lower teams, we wouldn't waste so much time. :/

Zzzz Acer gets kited around so easily. CLG just move into the jungle when they need to run away and they have so many abilities to control the pathways in the jungle.
Also I really don't like jungle Udyr in combination with the poke comp.
Wow Citizen got balls, going for Lich Bane on Lux. Hitting dem autos is going to get him exposed.

Acer does no damage to nashor, even with CLG basing they can't take it and get forced off.

Udyr is supposed to help disengage with his short range Bear mobility and multi stuns, Turtle to shrug off CLG's poke, and a shurelya on top of it.
Too bad there's Cho and Anivia on the other team.

I think the problem is that take it so far as to almost lose advantages. It would be brilliant if they pushed their advantages more I feel. Like that baron was really bad. They can just fight and own acer but instead they do nothing and lose baron.

Na, it's CLG EU's play. Every time I see them take 25 minutes to end a team they have a more than commanding lead against, I ask myself "do they lack confidence in their abilities that much that they don't feel capable of ending it now?".
They could have dived Acer anytime since around 30 minutes, forced them off the tower, then taken it, but they never even tried.

Somehow I really like Yellowpetes AD play. It fits so well with CLG's whole playstyle. Totally calm and focused, no real "daily highlight" plays but minding his business and racking kills and CS up on the way.

wut?
They did this plenty of times, they just got poked down and stunned and rooted every single time before they even could try a dive. Forcing a hard engage against a team with Jayce/Zyra/Lux + shurelias is not that easy.

Someone realised CLG was playing and factored in 1 hr per game

Well they have 1h30 for each Bo1, even CLG.eu would have trouble delaying them.
And they "tried" by having Froggen catch someone who flashed the wall (or died, happened every time) or Snoopeh walk up to them. It certainly didn't help that Krepo wasn't in his best day (his Leona is downright scary) but with Olaf's ult, Cho's range and cc, Anivia's wall and Leona's initiation, it's not something that can be disengaged from (especially with Anivia's wall to completely shut down Acceleration gate, Bear stance and shurelya's).
|
On the other hand I don't ever fault CLG.EU for playing for the win smartly. Yea, taking it slow steady and sure might be boring for viewers, but well, a lot of professional work is just that. Taking the slow methodical way that works instead of doing it flashy and failing.

Thats not really always the problem, the question is. Is their lead relatively bigger in the stalled late game, vs their lead early on? Usually it is, but sometimes it diminishes and it bites them in the ass.

Snoopeh was pretty inaccurate with his ruptures. Krepo was whiffing ults left and right. Froggen is not going to be frontline because he tanked so many shots even with his warmogs. Olaf didn't have shurelias until after his warmogs/force of nature (and maybe even after randuins) and the other team had a shurelias a lot earlier + acceleration gate.
The range on Zyra's snare/root + Acer's poke is enough to dodge all of those things unless they need to defend a tower, and even then they had Zyra's ult to fall back on to give them time to run away. The risks of turret diving that is immense when you consider how easy it is to root a massive chogath, or just plant an ult under the tower and throw all of your team into the air.
So clg.eu was trying a lot. They just failed a lot, in part because they weren't necessarily on top of their skill shots, but also because the other team's comp was really really lame.

I've come to see it as a weakness, compared to, say, Korean teams who, due to their aggressive playstyle, tend to know better the relative strengths of both team at any point, and know both when to close out the game, and how to do it.
If CLG.eu was to play against a team mechanically sound enough to get ahead early on, then react well enough that CLG has to do something immediatly (like forcing fights on objectives rather than the "slowly drive them out" style or their "slow suffocation" when they're ahead), I'm not sure if they would be able to adapt to that. Granted, we don't really get to see those situations occur in CLG.eu's games, but since they don't play that style often it makes me wonder if they wouldn't end up the same as most inferior teams confronted to CLG.na's splitpush teleport comp, where in the lategame CLG.na wins from sheer experience of the situation leading to their opponent making more mistakes that they can exploit.
Edit: I'm pretty biaised since I consider Anivia one of the lamest champs in the game so I guess we won't reach an agreement, with me saying that CLG's comp was as lame as Acer's.

CLG.eu usually builds their comps for late game as well, so their "relative lead" are usually boosted in the end game just due to champ select, even if their gold lead doesn't expand through stalling.

Both team comps equally lame to play against honestly :D.

Well at MLG and LSC CLG.eu showed a more aggressive early-game style and they got more comfortable with it since S2 Finals.
So i think they are on their way to adapt to play more different styles then their old usual play like this game. But u could somehow see from their picks, that they would fall back to this in this game. It mostly depends on what Froggen wants to play i think and Anivia just fits pretty perfect in this slow playstyle.

Indeed. At MLG and LSC CLG.eu had in nearly every game they won the worse late game comp than their opponents. This game their slow and tanky style was just the right answer to what Acer was doing.

Is the stream lagging for anyone else or is it just me cursed with the "twitch lags from 6PM to 10PM"?

is BYOC just the flashy name of their qualifier or do peopple actually have to bring their own computers?
I know clg.eu got their xmg laptops for the last dreamhack.

Just realized there are only 2 casters for the whole event, they'll get wrecked tomorrow with the 12 hour schedule.
|
im getting almost no sound on the stream
|
The sound often stops for awhile for me, and is choppy when it's on because of the lag. The volume is also pretty low (I only understood the questions from the hostess during interviews, not a single answer).

That skarner is so dumb >.> pulls anivia, when everyone on his team is low, and then gets walled and dies.

That vayne will kick some ass.

Huge turnaround from Acer. Huge steal into an ace
|
How can you steal Baron versus Cho+Nunu+Smite?
|
Ah jeez... that was an awful baron fight. Skarner with the hero steal against triple true damage lol
|
how does shen die vs a solo karthus? Nothing made sense in that fight :<
|
How they stole that is beyond me
|
That karthus dishes out some real pain. Scary, with zonyas + passive.

Acer the king of throws in EU?
lol ez 1v2's vayne + shen. rofl.

And then Acer throws their baron advantage immediately zzzzzzzz

Unfortunate for the Vayne, Ez ult just barely clips her.

very well played by both ad carries, nrated a bit too unlucky now

The lag is almost unbearable, I missed most of the inbetween bits of the countergank bot (still saw everything important, but on a powerpoint).

totally smooth for me, can't complain at all. Dunno what's wrong for you dude
|
hhaahhahaha so bad by that corki
|

nRated's post-laning grabs have been a lot better than his laning ones, heh.
Ditto Rekkles and his Vayne play, v.v.nicely judged.

United Kingdom50293 Posts
Rekkles is pretty damn good.
|
For some reason the stream isn't watchable at 720 or 720+p anymore, I started the afternoon at 720, but now it's frozen on a single image and doesn't play, with no sound, if I switch to them. Maybe it's my ISP, but it only happens on twitch/youtube and during those hours...
That Vayne though. Beautiful play against Corki from what I could catch.
|
Fnatic's random pink wards scattered throughout all the lanes pay off bigtime with an Evelynn spotting leading to a Rocket Grab.
|
nrated = krepo fail at supporting, get carried by team today
|
Yeah, Blitz/Vayne is a lane that's hard to do a lot with vs Corki/Lulu, esp when you're not landing any grabs, but I like Fnatic's decision to grab dragon/trade towers to get Vayne the gold she needed - let her pull off a bunch of clutch plays from behind, whereas if she'd not had that gold, she would have died before picking up a bunch of kills on people diving her.
|
That game was a level above what we have seen so far.
Should be a good semi final with CLG.eu vs Curse.eu.
|

quick recaps peeps? :O
Thanksgiving + NA time = gg EU tourney

Curse vs fanatic was pretty close until curse threw a baron fight and fnatic built their momentum from that on to snowball to victory.

What game are you guys referring to so I can look up VODs later?
Fnatic v Curse.EU?
I love me dem Eve games; so happy she is viable in tourney play and yet underplayed in solo q.

Rengar letting Ez take back their own blue...
Edit: Corki missclicked (I assume) and did not take his Ult at level 6.

And that is why you drink hp pots during fights.

Welp, going to be interesting to see if any of the BYOC teams can compete with Acer in g1 or Curse.EU in g2.
@shinarit: Yes. She's the closest thing to a hypercarry in LoL (along with Kog'Maw and maybe Karthus). Get items and the damage will be ridiculous, it doesn't matter if you build tanky due to true damage.

Krepo hit a nice ult on jree as snoopeh popped up from the side and yellowpete returned to lane, yellowpete got a kill.
In the meantime, olaf camping wickd,wickd dies once for overextending, once to a towerdive. A towerdive at top on snoopeh gets a 1 for 1.
Froggen laser-steals a blue.
Bit later 4v4 at dragon, clg gets a 3 for 0.
Sss pushing top as 5, they manage to disengage without losing anyone; but as they are at their inner turrets, olaf and janna die to chogath-knockup and froggen, respectively.
Clg starts a sneaky baron, froggen gets on kill on jree, they get baron and mid inner tower+a kill on corki.
Sss start chasing, they get froggen, but lose corki and shen.
Clg pushes, gets the other 3 and bot inhibitor.
And they finish the game at the time of this post, 32.45 game time.
Krepo still being yellowpete.

Beautiful plays by Jree's team and the God Hand is stronk with this blitz

this maokai has to be the saddest jungler ever :D
also lee Sin kicks are the most satisfying kills ever, even better if you kill with the QRQ combo

|
|
So not really surprising, clg just playing with svenskeren.
Btw, these guys are such terrible casters, not rivington level terrible but they really talk about silly things at times.
|
Until an ill-fated froggen diving top lane behind the turret turns into wickd + froggen dead for only maokai while diana and olaf trap them and take a turret off the favorable kill trade. Wolves back on the map, though still behind (6-2 killscore, 3k lead for CLG)
Shortly after, in bot lane: Zyra eats a hook and dies, but then a counterdive on yellowpete kills him and follows up taking bot outer turret.

All these undecided teamfights. Impressed with wolves to force that fight to BARELY their favor when they're still behind.

okay I'm starting to really dislike this "delete" and "remove" when talking about kills.

"Very near full builds", eh.

The hell would you initiate like that as Olaf, ult+shurelya to run at.. Cho'Gath. Oo Corki had the ledge to valk over anyway.

Was there something I didn't see? To me it looked like as if Olaf snapped and charged in at a more or less random moment.

I don't like these casters, already putting the match into CLG's hands, again and again telling us. They had like 10% lead in gold all the time, thats not a huge deal.

lol Froggen
omg dem skillshots

OMG froggen blind skillshot kill np
|
6 gp5 to 1 for CLG, they'll close up any gold gap rather fast but for now that's a lot of "non-combat" stats.
|
Aww. Nice try by Corki, but cleanse won't work on Unstoppable Force and he flashed too late.

Very low farm game. Constant skirmishes, pretty exciting

With a Deathcap, that lazor will be insane.
Edit: How the fuck does froggen time his E so incredibly well. Makes me a sad panda to see how much I suck compared to that.
|
I just noticed that the Wolves have no exhaust. Once they won't be able to execute people anymore that'll bite them in the ass.
@above low farm game with gp5 on CLG would benefit the Wolves more if they used their superior gold in actual combat stats to force objectives and win fights. But as long as they don't damage to take global gold like drakes/towers, or force and win fights then yeah it's not a low game farm it's just a dragging game, which benefits the gp5 holding (and better scaling) team.

Can they hear the casters? They all lined up the lvl 1 boots after the casters noticed it
|
This is getting ridiculous now, 3 times in around Zyra die with the same style...wtf. Even Merc didn't help her.

Wolves need an Aegis so badly. Froggen is just killing whoever he wants with his burst off of just one bind.

Just noticed Lulu goes Q>W>E, is it because she's supposed to be played offensively, so E is only a setup for a sure Q and you don't bother with the shield?

|
|
So, this support is catching a lot of "you are now dead" skillshots, in both game. Game 1 it was grabs, now it's light binding. A - build more than just HOG for hp if you're getting 100-0'd B - stop playing catch?

That's the idea. Q is so good for both damage and catch/slow power. W reduced CD lets you use the speedboost/bunny at the beginning of a fight, and again at the end.

So fucking good. Froggen OP carrying so hard.

|
Fuk Froggen king of skillshot champs.!!!
|
Froggens skill shots are just on another level.
|
I just realised that Froggen got an Oracle's, seems rather satisfied with his items.

WTF was that clip with HotshottGG and SV pls. I don't even.

This song about Jax, and the previous about Brand was hilarious. Where can i find these (or similar)?
Also, Wolves really good, no wonder that guy from Curse wanted to meet them.
Also, Rachel now looks like one of my coworker (except that she is black), which is a good sign.
|
Gotta say dreamhack really knows how to fill their downtime, definitely better than shit like MLG where it's a crowdshot with bad music saying we'll be right back (30-60minutes)
ON a side note, I thought Yellowstar rejoined Fnatic, but Rekkles has been playing for fnatic for quite some time now. I guess he didnt rejoin?

I believe it's Badministrator on youtube or something? Not really a fan of most of those rapping songs, both the melody and the lyrics, but some are rather good.

Yeah Yellowstar didnt join them. Read something that he wants to focus on studies and doesnt really commit to LoL.
And this Rekkles guy is looking fantastic so far. Might become permanent Fnatic member.

Rekkles is too young to play in Riot's Season 3 stuff (he's 16, minimum age is 17) so I doubt any team would pick him up. Really a shame though since he's so crazy good

yeah rekkles is crazy good, just read somewhere else as well, that he can't play s3 because he's so young but it's probably better for him to finish high school l0l.
looking forward to the finals xpeke vs Froggen should be interesting

meh i wait for finals but i feel clg.eu will just roll over fnatic(much like ww), they are not even the best eu team they just happened to have better games today and play vs a team which used to beat them every single time they played against each other
|
Wow, warwick. That's a surprise.

I dont agree. I believe if Fnatic gets a good AD carry (and they have one at the moment) they are a contender for being number 3 in Europe.

Very nice FB for fnatic

Leeee Singaaah, Froggen gotta make some tf plays now to get his team back into this. and yeah Krepo had maybe one Blitz game he was good, rest was pretty meh, he's probably drunk haha
actually now that i think about it krepo only had 2 terrible leona games but I guess those terrible ults stuck in my head.

Can't listen to Quikshot, not sure why but I find his casting extremely irritating.

CLG shows them they're sitting on a ward. They still stay to get ult'd by Malph.
Ugh. That decision making the last fights has been so bad. x_x
I mean, I don't want to be Fnatic-bashing, but if they keep it like that CLG's just causing to crush them, which makes the 15 minutes snoozefest that'll we be treated with in that case all but appealing. SO I want Fnatic to at least avoid that so we get exciting games. :[

The only thing I like about wickd's malph is that he can perfectly do his job of ulting on the squishies and annoy the hell out of them while froggen and pete have a good time doing their damage.

He lanes too recklessly especially earlygame, which sometimes gets him way too behind. Same applies to his Rumble.

not sure what you mean by " the only thing" because I can't think of much else a tanky 4k hp malphiteis supposed to do. Wickd's malph is so beast that he even earned the Doublelift stamp of approval.

Why does nrated have a warmogs O.o

Lee Sin has been absolutely useless in comparison to Maokai since about 25 minutes into the game. It got fNatic ahead early in the game but it hasn't been able to carry through :/

Holy shit, Lulu ult saving Yellowpete, and there go Fnatic's hopes.
@Redox: it annoys me because we never hear anything even when Fnatic actually makes a beautiful play, while the singlest, simplest, tiniest thing from CLG ("hey look, there haven't been somebody bot for 30+ seconds, yellowpete walked there with the big wave and took the last 200 hp of the outer tower") is met with cheers and applauds that you'd only hear for big plays in "normal" games.

This is true. If it would be unbiased that would mean no real emotions there, just clapping your hands because its polite. Bias is a natural consequence of these stuff.

Malphite ban by Fnatic. Good choice, I felt like they couldn't handle the hard engage from Wicked in the last game.

fnatic's comp looks really scary, but not early game oriented and we know how teams fare when they plan to go lategame vs clg.eu :D

There's a difference between cheering for your favorite but recognizing good plays from their opponents too, and getting excited over the most insignificant stuff as long as it's done by your favorite and ignoring everything the other does, even when it's beautiful.
I dunno, as I've seen the crowd acting till now, I wouldn't even be surprised if they stayed silent and apathetic if Fnatic won by crushing CLG with beautiful play (won't happen, but imagine it). That's basic respect to acknowledge when somebody played well. I don't like CLG.eu's playstyle and the borefest they create, but I don't deny them that it's effective, nor do I go all "feh!" when they actually move their asses and do something beautiful.

People have favourites and won't cheer if their favourites get defeated.
It's normal and happens in every sport in the world.
The opponents can be the best team in the world, if they play against the crowd favourite, they are the "villains".

Giving Wickd Irelia is like giving Froggen Anivia, you just don't do it. If you make that mistake, you are in a world of pain.

Weaker teams are always desperate to show off rather than play solid. It's like the flash-trade a full hp diana for a near dead corki + assists.
Cyanide has failed 2 smites now this game, should have been able to take Snoopeh's blue earlier as well.

No matter what Fnactic doing, towers, baron, kills, whatever, CLG just farms like a beast. It was the same in game 1. It looked like CLG is a bit stomped, but they never got too far down on gold, and they got up eventually. M5 did this style a while ago, CLG always played from behind. What happened?

Looks like wickd has stopped going that "damage/attack speed" irelia. Guess the throw vs Nasus was enough :D

Wow, Fnatic straight up beat CLG in even mid-game team fights. Never thought I'd see the day. Diana is doing so much damage. :S
EDIT: awesome.

Kind of frustrates me watching Zyra and Diana. I personally have a lot of issues with these two champions.
BUT FUCK ALL THAT CAUSE CLG/EU JUST DEFENDED
|
|
|
... wow, wtf. I was about to say "is it the same Fnatic?" and now that happens.
|
|
|
This game just got interesting.
|
Some terrible decision making by Fnatic, they can actually lose this now.
|
Oh yeah Zyra's plants damage gonna be huge with that void staff, as long as she can keep them up, now that she's level 18. ôo
Ah no she's 15. 360p ftw.
|
''If these teams make a mistake, it could mean the game'' These commentators are on a roll
|
Considering all 5 people on Fnatic use AP why wouldn't Zyra buy WotA if she wanted an AP item? seems better than void staff at least...
|
Why is that zyra building void staff? Anyone explain? Is the % mpen better than straight up dcap for damage?
|
|
|
Her plants deal around 160 damage per attack now. A void staff means she's gonna hurt, even as a support, whoever gets caught by them.
|
Someone explain what clg screwed in the teamfights, please.

Plants scale with magic penetration but not AP then? Honest question.

% MPen is pretty huge when there's 100+ MR on your opponents and void staff costs only 2.2k.
That zhonya on zyra did some real work though.

Wickd didnt do anything there. Also they were behind quite a bit before that fight.

Their team didnt have a ton of teamfight presence - everyone on fnatic except for ezreal was packing some huge aoe CC, compared to TF Irelia blitz mostly being single target, and cho's AOE CC's are nothing compared to Amumu and Zyra ultis. In several fights Amumu and Zyra ultis were CCing 4 or 5 people.
|
Zhonya's is pretty dubious but considering nRated got hooked somewhere in the vicinity of a million times that game I suppose that justifies it.

Magic Damage [Plants]: 26 + (6 × level) + (+ 20% AP)
With such high base damage and support gold, penetration is a lot more effective than AP. That's why some go Haunting Guise on Zyra too: penetration to increase her damage, and HP for tankiness.

I do think squishies in the front line + AoE cc is pretty under-rated in this game (at least at a low level). Once you get past the mentality of "tanks and squishies" and start thinking "front line and back line" you can pull off some pretty cool stuff. Diana got to blow up Froggen every fight purely because everyone was moving around to dodge Zyra/Amumu ults. It's like the insane Morgana + Vayne combo.

Okay ty! I'll definitely think about it some more. Zyra support is still a bit underexplored for me and I really want to learn her.

All magic damage scales with mpen. Lately top level ap mids have been moving away from classical dc build to more of utility build of zhonias, abyssal and other magic pen items.

Yeah I've been thinking the same but what exactly? E mana cost + plant base dmg I guess but unless they destroy her she'll still be pretty viable I think.

I like the Lee Sin pick against Karthus. Kick is a great counter play to displace Karthus before the passive kicks in.
|
From what I got, Zyra's plants are basically 0 AD turrets with a "add AP magic damage to your attacks" as a on-hit, and they have that formulae AP. They also apply Rylai and Spellvamp (diminished effects for both).
I ranted a lot after Zyra's release because the plants alone dealt enough damage to kill a squishy champion in the late game if he stayed more than 3-4s in their range (depending on AS), it got reduced to 50% for each plant after the first attacking the same champion, but it's still high enough to outdamage any support (and most support junglers) once Zyra reaches higher levels, even without AP.
I call Fnatic losing this, they won't be able to acquire a big enough lead, and even if they do they won't be able to exploit it.
|
Uh, Xin's knock-up interrupted Lee's knock-back. x)
|
Uh oh, with such a mobile team comp Fnatic can probably snowball this pretty hard.
Come on Snoopeh!
|
3k at 9 minutes. This is bad
|
Krepo absolutely soulreading nRated with these grabs
|
Well Soaz that was bad. :[
I was thinking "hm, Lee ult for Amumu ult, good trade", then he died anyway.
|
How did Jax killed Amumu after Amumu's ult? Its overlapping animations? The others seemed to be frozen already when Jax made the AA.
|
What was CLG doing there? They had a 5 on 4 but somehow managed to give up 2 kills AND dragon.

Amumu ult is only a snare, not a stun, you can still attack inside.

Froggen decided to leave.

So... late game CLG's team is going to crush Fnatic.
|
It's not a CLG EU final if there are no pauses involved.

Yeah that was so strange. Must have been total miscommunication.
|
Regardless if they win or not, I'm excited to see fnatic back as one of the top tier European teams (yes they were always good but they were eclipsed recently by Curse.eu and Eclypsia)

Indeed, but I doubt it will get to late game. All 3 outer turrets are down already and a massive gold lead...

No you can't. It specifically says so.

Do you emember CLG v WE at s2 finals? They come back from 11-1 with no towers.
CLG turtle best turtle.

Amumu ult is a snare and disarm. You can still cast spells, can't autoattack though.

If there is one thing CLG.EU can do it is stall to late game.
Edit: Oh man, that CC stacking was sick. CLG could barely move.

Poor Snoopeh's only level 8, that's gonna hurt for him.
Zyra going Abyssal this time? I'm thinking Locket could actually be useful this game against so much AoE damage, but since the others dive while she stays back I'm not sure if she'd ever be able to use it well.
|
Snoopeh y u suicide D: you had survived that!
|
Snoopeh blowing his ulti when he's dead is rather bad. Even if he comes back now they can't really fight.
|

No, he was ignited and going to die. He wasn't expecting the heal from teammate but he thought he was going to die so why not do some damage.
|
The lack of armour on CLG.EU is rather odd. I get that Jax is mixed and Ez does a fair amount of magic but still
|
I still think Fnatic "wander through the jungle alone and see who we find" solo-queue style is going to get them fucked against M5/TSM and the Koreans. Not a fan.
|
Knowing fanatic's state i thought it will be a walkover for clg, but this is turning out to be exciting.
Also, commentator says "i dont think clg can come back" LoL. Dont tempt fate.
|
Just get that void staff going on karthus and a bit of armor and clg will roll imo.
edit: nvm, its over more probably.

dude tsm cant even beat average NA teams and they get stomped by clg.eu what makes u think they can beat fnatic LOL

Why did Rekkles buy IE and not BT after TF? Would have been a clean ace here if he had BT...

Wow. That was a complete stomp. I really need to learn Lee Sin, the guy seems like a lot of fun and really powerful early/mid game

Wow, congrats Fnatic.
EU is so unstable, for a lack of a better word.

|
wp fantic they have been playing well coming up to dreamhack and then bootcamped aswell
|
Well, congrats to Fnatic anyway, I remember them being a cool couple of guys on their streams so props.
|
Snoopeh's build lost this game. 3 GP5s and Sorc shoes at 20+ mins? He got melted before every teamfight, too overconfident in his team's ability to stall for lategame.
|
well played lee sin im impressed
|
Does mid lee sin level his q first? That might explain why his damage is absurd when I try to gank him mid.
|
gg fnatic playing really good in g2+3
also snoopeh proving again that he's not flexible at all, insisting on his triple gp/5 build into sorc shoes lol -.- everyone on clg except for Froggen maybe should have gotten tabis and nobody build any armor except for Wickd's early doran's shield until 25minutes into the game when snoopeh grabbed chainwest, but that was too late alrdy

gg Fnatic. It's too bad CLG.eu lost, I like them. But then I remind myself that they have the CLG brand and don't feel that bad

gg Fnatic, really done their homework!
I just love it when team shake up the meta a bit. GG.
|
gg fnatic. krepo is a sad panda

All the soloQ practice for Froggen paid off.

Yep, impressive play in the last 2 games!

Wickd and Snoopeh breaking Froggen's back, no idea why they let him play rumble or why snoopeh had no defense at all against triple bruiser lineup for the first 25 minutes. Lee should not be able to 3shot him with just brut and hexdrinker.

Doesn't Sweden use euro as their currency? I thought so.

Not sure what the hell you are talking about but Froggen was playing beastly like usual all tournament long, even in the grand final.
Snoopeh and Krepo were the inconsistent people for clg.eu this time.
Also XMG giving fnativ gaming laptops in front of clg.eu is kinda hilarious considering that they are a clg sponsor.

Also, CLG.eu kinda needs that loss because it shows them that they actually have to practice. They didnt do any real practice sessions since s2 finals.
And it was well deserved by Fnatic. I was holding them in high regard for quite some time.

I blame it on yellowpete.

Recommend me some SSS and Wolves games plz gaiz.
I only watched G2-3 of the Finals for DH. lol

The semi finals were good. Showed that the wolves definitely have potential as a team.

More potential than SSS?

I only saw the second semi-finals and the finals today so I wouldn't be able to tell you, missed all of SSS matches. :<
The one thing I retain is that their name is apparently unpronounceable.

I don't think SSS is a real team. From what I read on Reddit, their players just banded together for this event because they all live in Sweden.

SSS games were really one sided iirc.
The second more than the first, but the second was kinda fun due to the pics from SSS. I hope i'm not mistaken with another game tho. I'll quickly check that.
Yeah, semi final game 1 Fnatic vs SSS if you want a "close" game. Game 2 if you want to see some unusual picks.

Pretty important if that's the case.

Yea SSS isn't really a real team. Kottenx is on Alternate. And he also formed a dreamhack only team for the summer one too.

If you don't count that, then before that it was DreamHack Summer.

That game with CLG and Curse in the semis was so weird. Towers going down at 4 minutes and a half and lots of bindings on zyra.

I like the new thing that Supports get dmg items instead of only supportitems.
Started a while ago but now its becoming more mainstream.
|
If I were asked to rate teams by their lineups I'd say Fnatic would have lost. IMO bruisers hate Karthus because he does so much damage to people who stay in his defile range. Rumble also does well against melees and offers a lot of splash for those bruisers that come in close. Corki offers kiting ability to wear down bruisers if the game goes late.
I was happily surprised by Fnatic's early game coordination. They knew they could do baron at 18 minutes. They knew TF's ult was down.

Gratulation Fnatic ...

Honestly I disagree. By late game bruisers have lots of mr and hp and are able to kill karthus without sustaining a lot of damage. It helps that clg eu had 90% magic dmg as corki literally deals more magic+true dmg than physical lolz (until later i guess)

Peke pretty much said in the post finals interview that they'd practiced this exact scenario and it really showed. I still think CLGeu generally has an edge over Fnatic; but this time, Fnatic spent their practice time focusing on winning a tournament rather than general practice. I like it.
They've improved so much since they figured out that they need to get their practice regiment going. I was sad when Shushei was kicked, but thinking back he would never have done this teamhouse/bootcamp thing. He's like Ocelote with the personality/streamer thing he's got going and I guess Fnatic made the right call to hunker down and get awesome good through practice.
I'm guessing this is also a major reason why Lamia retired, he wanted to other things than LoL and that's just not viable if you want to be a top team.
Again, wp Fnatic.

This time ? CLG.eu is heavily carried by froggen and wickd it's not even funny. Yellowpete doesn't make flashy plays but he never really fails either. Krepo is always bad, he's very consistent.

I also think that CLG.eu didn't know Fnatic played the trip bruiser strat. Bruiser mid generally will destroy a Karthus. Jax/Lee/Xin can just pop Karthus and survive his damage with good resists. That and CLG.eu haven't fully refined how to play with TF in their squad yet. They made some good plays with TF, but some engages where he ulted in were a bit off, especially the ones where Fnatic's AD+AP get bursted by Froggen diving on them with ult, but their bruiser and jungle survives and mop up.
Very interesting finals though, and Fnatic showing that they are at the top of EU competition again. Good times ahead in EU with Eclypsia, CLG.eu, M5, Crs.EU, Fnatic, etc. Loads of high performing teams atm.

Jree is already in another team i think its gonna be announced soon.
