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?  Exter doesn't establish GIANTS' momentum, he's there to ensure they don't lose it. And from this last game against DB, he does it beautifully. You're right that it'd help GIANTS a ton if they communicated better and not get out of position so frequently but it's rather unique to see a team who can even capitalize off a misplay. I definitely see Double-like behavior in Jimbz and to me, it's a very good thing. To see how he can go Mid to stop a wave from pushing into their tower and immediately swing Bot to clear yet another way. Very good lane observation and "greed". Jimbz biggest problem is his positioning. He sees objectives but doesn't see the dangers between Point A and Point B. | ||

Having watched things get setup for IPL5 first hand, the biggest issue is when there's problems with the hardware (most typically headsets) and no sound is coming out. Players aren't the most keen on technical problems, so you need some Rioter to step in and troubleshoot. It's hardware problems that cause delays. Otherwise, I think most orgas have streamlined and informed teams how to set up with minimal time loss. | ||

For someone that regularly watches MLG tournaments, it's great to see thing other than a crowd shot for 30 mins between games. I watched the entire Krepo interview instead of just walking away from the stream and checking back. ikr, I have stream on mute but from what I heard from other staff, Krepo did some great commentary about their match vs Fnatic. | ||

Remember those shows with travis.. most of the progamers on that show did not come across as very smart, but krepo on the other hand.. =] | ||

Don't understand why sOAZ is relegated to support-y top laners these days. He did so well with the aggressive picks back in November/December. But with his tendency to be caught unaware in some of the last games, Malphite is probably a good choice. | ||

Hopefully xPeke and Yellowstar can destroy them in fights - but a victory in lane is very much required. Don't understand why sOAZ is relegated to support-y top laners these days. He did so well with the aggressive picks back in November/December. But with his tendency to be caught unaware in some of the last games, Malphite is probably a good choice. sOAZ doesn't have to play as aggressive. The champs he's picking still make a big impact (Malph now, Shen a lot before. huehuehue @ Blitz). But now he has to take on peel duty for a farmed YellOwStaR imo. If anything, it's good to see that they're adapting to their line up, even if it's at the cost of sOAZ making flashy aggro plays. | ||
