I don't think Link popularized anything outside of triple GP 10 mids

Maybe they wanted to bait the initiation so they could easily focus their opponent, knowing they had dashes and flashes to get to safety, and the tankiness/burst necessary to kill whoever tried to dive them? It certainly worked on Xsmithie, and later Sycho Sid, though. Well-executed, aggressive play abusing the lack of smite and Lux ult from Xsmithie stealing their blue 10s earlier. Hey, just noticed Syndra got a blue too, from killing Hecarim in that fight.  Philo on Taric... it's a bit late for GP5, so maybe he's going to build a shurelya next to give them harder engages?
Not at his level at all, but speaking as a support player, you'll see later philos if the supports are going oom/too low on health just running around warding/dewarding and taking poke, and poking yourself. The gold is noticeable if you sit on it for 10 minutes, you'll be able to pink much more later on.

Drake incoming, and Hecarim has a Locket over Vi... hm, did Renekton take all that botlane farm? Maybe giving it to Vi would have let her build the Locket?
That fight went pretty well at the start for Marn, but they all ate the laser, which turned it around I believe. Especially Syndra, has Ezreal managed to kill ecco before he could ult, that's a lot of burst that Marn lost at that occasion.

He's been playing AP Nidalee in midlane since before S2 started. Maybe popularizing it is a bad word but he was/is a Nidalee main and played her mid when everyone else was playing her top lane.

And now Marn gets engaged on, Vi still doesn't have a Locket, and they get burst down. Marn really has trouble killing turrets with Urgot Cleaver. Meh. Getting caught put them behind now, against a comp that outpokes them while they have little range and waveclear it's going to be dangerous.
I really dislike how late the teams get Aegis, while putting the burden of getting both Locket and Aegis on the jungler. Maybe switch it up, fuck warmogs on your 1v2 laner, get an aegis and be ready for earlier timings?

I see why Vulcan picked Lux now...
|
There, no Aegis against a Lux, boom you're fucking dead. Get your goddamn aegis earlier, dammit, especially if you plan on starving your jungler.
Warmogs/bruta Renekton doesn't do shit because the rest of the team melts just from Final Spark.

I don't know that the fight even started that well. They blew so much cc on Hec right away and then the rest of Vulcan just rolled over them. Syndra dropping without ulting did really hurt them, though.

Teams seem really against building Aegis/Bulwark for whatever reason.

Yeah, but Bischu was just copying LiNk. He just streamed and uploaded videos of it.

Everyone rushing locket and warmogs, instead of getting the aegis/bulwark against ranged poke harrass like lux and nid.

Zzz why did Marn try to chase on that, you just got destroyed, you know this turret is going down, just gtfo. Nope, they try to fight, they lose Taric for nothing and then Vi is fodder too.
Man, Marn just fucking disappointed me after that turnaround at drake, sloppy as hell in their fights, and heartbeatt got caught thrice in a row, giving them lost fights even before they started. :/
That top tower was really too greedy, especially with Urgot's short range. Then again, it seemed like the weakness of their teamcomp: super weak at defending sieges and clearing, and killing towers, although their initiation and teamfighting in open terrain was super strong.

Mancloud with some legit games this week. He carried all of these games pretty hard.
