The thing about that game that just impresses me to no end is Meteos getting 2 buffs stolen and just walking into top and taking the tower. I dunno.
I have found that the best way to improve as an individual player is to play crazy and learn your exact limits in any situation. The way C9 plays as a UNIT reminds me of that. They seem to always push a bit further than I feel comfortable with (even just watching!). But they make it work out. Stylistically, they seem like a Korean team.
I gotta attribute a lot of that to Meteos and his really impeccable play (I haven't been more consistently impressed by a player in solo q/tourneys/everything in a while) and Hai for being a great aggressive shot caller and player in the mold of (dare I say) Regi.

Yes. A huge play. They played it like a Korean team, extreme aggression like that is only possible when you have great shot calling and chemistry.
Just curious, what should you do against a team that pushes objectives as hard as C9 did? It seems like they had total control of the pace of the game from the beginning and Dignitas was always trailing behind and just barely defending and reacting.

You push your lanes, force them to lose turrets for objectives. But because they are behind it's super dangerous. With proper grouping and vision pushing lanes is very very potent.

My thoughts exactly they just stretch the limits a little bit further in so many situations then youd think theyd be able to. Not like all korean teams there is no way in hell cj frost would have tried to end the game there theyd have been happy with inhib and healed up and stretched game out another 10minutes which always irks me.

Honestly I don't think Dignitas had a chance in this game as long as Balls could fight Jayce he can't splitpush and put pressure on tower. Dignitas should have taken middle tower when they comited 3 guys(adc+support+jungle) on the middle lane so lane especially after Sneaky's draven just went bot to 1v1 and take all the farm he can against I don't even remember who bot. Dig commit adc+support mid and didn't prevent Hai from farming and assassinating some guy by roaming nor control the drake.

Hm champ select prob a good place to start by letting them get nasus and elise their objective speed was pretty unreal.
