That "bait" by Shushei was a piece of genius. (If that was a bait, after all!) Instead of blowing his ult and having Akali escape afterward, he retreated, making Akali think herself secure while Kha'Zix closed in.
On a sidenote: Kha'Zix still so stronk. Never quite understood why he was dropped after that minuscule nerf.
It was...what was it, around 25 minutes in? You just died at top to a Shushei lane gank. Your team has pretty limited vision of the map. Their mid and bot towers are gone and there are none of them in sight with no objectives for taking. You know what is a good thing to do? Go out to a lane w/o its outer turret and try to farm near the river.
This game was like the Giants vs Gambit game yesterday, except DB counterthrew hard as here where as Gambit just thanked Giants for a free win.

Fun game, GIANTS continue to suprise; Jimbz, for someone I hadn't heard of before the LCS qualifiers, is clearly an elite player. Tbh I wrote off jimbz as a one trick pony with AD kennen but the kid's legit.
That guy reminds me of doublelift. Good mechanics and randomly retarded decisions that just loses them the game.

Scumbag Krepo admits EG plays boring games lol

Looking back at the game I think their major mistake was laneswapping (or accepting the laneswap).
Fnatics composition relied heavily on getting ahead early. Forcing blitz to lane against renekton and the duo lanes as duo would have allowed them to defend their towers for quite a bit longer. Leading to a much different midgame.
Regarding their picks, I'm not really a fan of Sona anymore. Yes the ultimate is one of the strongest CCs and she does offer good sustain, but against any kind of reset char her absolute squishyness (if that is a word) offers pretty much a free reset if she is caught even a tiny bit out of position.
All in all Fnatic deserved that win by preparing better, but I think EG also reacted inappropriately to deal with their off the wall composition. If someone basically runs 2 supports by picking such a weak top laner, you shouldn't rush through into the mid game, but rather try to extent early laning as long as possible to get ahead. Fact is, Blitz really can't lane worth shit against Renekton and Kat has a miserable time farming against Anivia. Those were the openings they might have exploited, instead they let themselves be pushed around and paid for it. No way. Blitz is hard as fuck to tower dive (oh, your support is taking tower shots at the edge of range? How bout taking tower shots RIGHT HERE.) and even though he doesn't get much farm in a 1v2 lane, he doesn't need items to be useful. Renekton is hurt much more by the 1v2 lane than Blitzcrank. Blitz's endgame items were like... Aegis, Locket? And he was fine with that. Sending Blitz vs. Renekton would allow Renekton to bully blitz around in lane, and more importantly, Renekton would be getting much more farm which would make him much more of a threat later.
we seem to have some kind of disconnect here, thats exactly what i was saying? EG should not have let Fnatic swap lanes on them (or even tried to do it themselves). Blitz might have reached enough money for lategame anyway (aegis and locket together are fairly cheap) but renekton would have basically had free farm and they would have been able to defend their towers much longer.

Can someone link a stream that isn't really badly laggy? Thanks

All those kills are nice, but sooo maaany mistakes -.-

Sounds to me like we have a potential future caster there in Krepo.

The youtube stream works really smooth and switches quailties to your needs.

Krepo analysis was real good, he explained everything very well and before it happened, he was certainly playing attention well.

Yaaaay thre is the infamous spanish accent english! xD

I've been cheering for Giants since a bit before the qualifiers, though I wish they'd clean up their midgame and not consistently get ahead for 10~15 min and throw for the next 15min before superior teamfighting finally kicks in.

^ I guess I could, I heavily dislike the French LoL commentary in general but I value stream quality over commentary. Didn't even remember Dailymotion had streams, I'll try thanks! I guess so. Wasn't it you who didn't notice they swapped kobe for jatt earlier this week? :p
Already told you I was too busy raging on Dig to listen. 
Can somebody tell me when was the Krepo anaysis? Since I was so behind I'll use the youtube stream to rewind/fast forward to it.

GIANTS are the best EU team after the big 3. I'm a believer now.

And they're actually entertaining, contrary to a certain turtling team.

Turtle? I saw no turtling. Samux going ham with Akali. Did you see that 1v1 with Kha'zix?
What. a. boss.
Jimbz has the mechanics, just need to work on his decision making. It's certainly not as bad as Double's, lol you gaiz.
Exter consistently make plays across the map. He was there to cockblock Shushei at Bot lane and get Jimbz a double. When Jimbz did that incredibly stupid late blue pill and Kha'zix caught him, who was there to save the day to make sure it wasn't just a free ADC kill? One of the better TP users for sure.
Edit: I can't read, sry Alaric. lololol

They do have fantastic synergy in team fights that's for sure.

Exter carrying team on his big back for sure, though wish he'd be making more plays rather than bailing out dumbs and making sure their stupid deaths are getting traded evenly.
As for Jimbz's decision making, won't you say the way he consistently gravitates toward farm during any situation to be kinda like Double?
Far as Samux goes, neo, don't forget the decision yesterday against Gambit to try to go all in at purple side wraiths when Kayle was just seen clearing creeps at midlane. That 1v1 w/ Khaz was sexy, just wish he'd pay more attention to his surroundings.

wonder how long they will allow Exter to play Ryze :D
also Krepo speaking fighting words during the interview, really curious if they can back it up during the matches between the leagues (he said that he thinks on average EU is better than US basically).

This interview is fun and all but it would be really nice if the games just started....

It's likely they are having issues setting up the computers. They're just stalling for time.
