So what's the official count on teams that have taken a game off M5/GBG in a LAN? TSM, CLG.eu, fnatic, TPA, and now Curse and AZB - thats all, right?

I think M5 has a really good advantage from playing & winning the semifinal right before the final, it gives you a big amount of confidence and they clearly show it

Btw, what was the purpose of full tank Vladimir?


It's bruiser Vlad which seems common in s3. Starts with Warmogs for laning then adds AP items (hextech, Deathcap). Too bad that the laning phase was over at the Warmogs stage...

lol what?

I mean sure the kills might have been better on other champions but it's not like it's a negative thing you have to overcome.

It's standard to get 3 points into W and then start maxing Q. If Diamond went 1 level to W then Q then that's baller man-mode that relies on a lot of ganking to actually work. My guess is that he was level 4 with 2 points in W when he saw that they are completely destroying mid and bottom so he just started maxing cleaver

Ouch, I didnt know ez+sona did so well against kog+nunu at lower levels ... maybe that was the whole plan behind the MF and Cait bans?

Sometimes surrendering is better than fighting hard and losing badly. Just wipe it clean and forget about game 1 then go into game 2 normally.


Well usually they ( Chinese/Koreans ) fight as long as they can ( Dat match with the 3 inhib down comeback ), it felt more like a frustration surrend from Cpt Jack ( even though this is purely guessing ) than a " let's move on onto the next one "

they might prove me wrong tho, even though i'd really like GBG to win !

If Jack had managed to pick up a kill on Sona it would have become negative pretty quickly. But in this case it didn't end up having any impact.

Ez+Sona heavy poke lane. Bring them low, then dive them and clean up for kills.

Poke all day. I don't think maxing W is that interesting in the current patch btw, with the reduced small monsters' HP. Maybe 2-3 levels of it, then max Q or E. E farms better, Q pokes better.

Before even the FB there was that lvl 2 play by Genja that nearly killed Cpt Jack, too bad that the cameraman almost missed it and the replay didn't show it. That was the first thing that set Kog behind.

cleaver is hp%, and azubu had quite the tanky team, only exception being kog. sona, ez, mundo poke rapes you hard, especially when youre that far behind and you cant hold any tower or contest any objectives.

Only because they are so serious. But have you seen korean soloq games? It's very common for everybody to go AFK at 15 minutes if the game is going very badly. Someone from CLG I think said that Koreans get discouraged to play easily.

EZ + Sona has insane poke and decent sustain. Kog has no sustain and it's too weak early on. Also, they got ganked a lot.

But isn't the ratio AP to HP much more effective than HP to AP? I mean, even if it gets beyond laning phase, I can't imagine him being a threat at all when going Mercs / Tabi / Warmog's / Chain Vest or Negatron...

kog had to base at lvl1 cuz he lost 95% of hp to poke the lane was lost at this point and they never could even come close to cs
