That is some heavy AP from GIANTS, I'm not sure I love their teamcomp, though EG doesn't really have a way to get to Kog

errr Renekton? Thats usually a quite good diver. Not sure how the lanes will play out, it will be interesting to see.

I feel like EG should pressure the bot lane and trust in Wickd to survive alone on top.

Wickd will have a field day. Renekton is insanely good at farming under tower, basically invincible as long as they push on him. And as soon as he hits 6, he'll pop ult, walk up to Kog'Maw and kill him in seconds.

The invade set him back, though. So much damage on the tower before Renekton can get to the level where he can clear creep waves quickly.

Of course EG isn't rotating. Varus/Sona > Kog/Zyra and Renekton should get the tower against Elise fairly easily. Also, if EG sent their duo top, dragon is gone.

Yeah that was really well done by Giants taking that top tower, Kog Zyra should be able to lane vs EG's botlane now

Giants will need to put up a very, very long defense now. TF/Varus rule the midgame, and Renekton is, well, Renekton. Kog'Maw and Ryze will need a lot of time to get as effective as their counterparts, and Elise has catching up to do. And even then, there's still Kayle to care about.

Expect EG to take all objectives and ward up the map.

Weird that Froggen didn't follow up on Zyra, could've used summoners to get the kill, guess he wanted to stay safe.

This is very probably game. Major bad call by Giants, there was no way they could take that dragon or win the teamfight against that comp. I'll be back for game 2, so in about half an hour when EG finally pushes for the win.

Oh, and can anyone explain why you would run Kog'Maw in the current metagame? I've seen so many Kogs lately and they rarely succeed. Sure, he shreds HP, but there's too much HP going around to kill people before they kill you.

That was a really bad teamfight by Giants, they should have won that.

Item is insanely good on anyone that can get in autoattacks. Kayle gets in many easy autoattacks. Item is insane on Kayle.

EG doing their usual of taking advantages and winning trades until they eventually strangle their opposition. Gonna be hard for Kog to get big enough to carry this through.
