So I finally caught up on this season thru IG v WE upper bracket games. Just gotta watch Sword beat PE then get smashed by IG and I will be ready for the grand finals. Looking forward to that.

Why do people think maknoon is a great toplaner?
Every time I see him play he gets outlaned. Now he is even losing vs IG.Kid who is an adc player. Maknoon definately can't compete with expression, shy or other korean toplaners.
I like the jayce+khazix combo from IG. Good poke. Najin Sword focuses a lot of their plays based on Maknoon. He certainly is capable of carrying the game by himself, but if you watch a lot of their games you'll often notice how Watch babysits the top lane. Maknoon is a top class player, and has been for quite some time, but there are superior top-laners as of now. Maknoon himself admitted that Expession is individually more talented than himself. I personally rate Shy, Ssumday, and Flame ahead of Maknoon currently, and that's just counting the Korean scene. How can you put Flame ahead of Reapered. Blaze hasn't been the same since that change. For the very simple reason that Flame has a vastly superior laning phase than Reapered. You could argue that Reapered has more to offer than his laning ability due to his multi-faceted talents, but as a top-laner, there is little doubt for me that Flame is one of the strongest in his position at the moment. CJ Entus Blaze's fall from grace is due to their weak bottom lane and lackluster performances from Helios, which Reapered made up for by popularizing two versus one lane swaps, and basically telling Helios what to do. His individual strengths as a top laner, however, is inferior to Flame in my eyes. Reapered's strengths as a top-laner is overrated by a lot of people since he won IEM Cologne in my eyes. Long-friggin'-panda did pretty good in that tournament as a top laner, and he is defunct from the professional scene as of today. His strengths lie elsewhere, and that's why CJ Entus Blaze never reached the heights back when Reapered was part of the team. I remembered one night I was watching zzitai's stream, Helios talked to zzitai and told him he was not as good as before. It seemed that he noticed his problem but he can't improve it.
Where did you watch zzitai's stream?

I didn't follow any of the LoL expept EU these last months.
I'm hyped as fuck for this but at the same i hope they aren't as good as everybody say, it would be good for Europe with the all-stars incoming.

So excited for this!
iG bans: Sona Caitlyn Karthus
WE bans: Diana J4 Twisted Fate
iG picks: Renekton / Varus + Hecarim / Lulu + Malphite
WE picks: Jayce + Elise / Ezreal + Rumble / Blitzcrank

WE run Ez + Blitz mid vs Malphite. WE steal blue buff and give theirs to Jayce, who gets more farm bot vs Varus + Lulu compared to Malphite, but loses tower at 5:30.
First blood to Zz1tai's Malphite with a three-man gank top!
|
how could jayce with bluebuff lose tower so fast? did the tower get low when he backed right after getting blue?
i can't believe that
|
not picking cleanse vs malph seems to be the new meta :o
|
Zz1tai beasting it up on Malphite.
|
What an amazing teamfight/dive from iG, wow. Such a good Varus ult.
|
caomei got lucky in that dl-esque facecheck.
|
IG level baron throws. Hahahaha.
|
iG's team composition is fantastic.
also baron steal :o
|
