I'm wondering if he works because Giants plays so good and are ahead of if he just got unpopular for no reason. I like that he's going strong. (or did he get a buff or smth?)

My personal opinion is just that Jîmß0wnz is good at Kennen. If he played something like Graves at the same level the end result would likely be the same. Control lane, get ahead, follow up.

Jimbz is a really good ADC from what I've seen. Positioning and knowing when to farm without setting his team in danger. Superb.

I think his self-peeling capacities help his survability a lot, and his utility when team is ahead. It could be an answer to the strong assassinations of S3.

Yea he was always farming in safe positions and never actually got into a dangerous position. Part of that is the ward coverage and his team never really getting picked off they never lost map control.

I am wondering the same thing. I dont think Kennen get any significant buff at all. I havent seen him in a long time before GIANTS start to using him this tournament. But Jimbz play a very good Kennen, he always win his lane with a large advantage that make Kennen matters in the mid-late game.

Honestly both those games kennen didn't really do anything special.He could've been pretty much any ad and the result would've been the same.

I am very confused why we haven't seen nunu/cait.Anyone got an idea?

mouz failed pretty hard after pushing down two towers. But if teams were any closer, Kennen pick would have made more sense. There's a ton of peel between Zyra/Nunu/Kennen. Provides a lot of CC to allow Kat to Death Lotus and keep distance from Kennen.

Mundo ban? Is that a respect ban vs mouz? I can't imagine how good of a Mundo player would have to be to soak up a ban... lol.

There was nunu/cait this morning and cait literally killed everything in the end. Second match wolves vs millenium.

I don't think it's about being a super good Mundo player. Think it's maybe being better Mundo than everything else they play? It does seem weird leaving shen up instead of Mundo.

Why there is the Mundo ban from GIANTS? Does anyone from Mouz play a good Mundo?
