Yi was a really bad pick. Guess Dig was just like "huehuehue works vs TSM so must be good"

Vulcan playing very tight. That's how you use a baron. Take some turret hits, hit the turret, you'll still be at full. Force a fight. That was an enjoyable game to watch.

And this is what happens when a specific surprise-based play backfires. Wish Scarra would have just played ryze this game, save the Yi for another game with more killable targets. Like no doubt Vulcan studied the hell out of the Dig/TSM game and prepared a specific counterbuild.

Do you not play Ryze? You don't rush Frozen Heart/Banshee's Veil.

Lissandra is such a great counter to Yi. I don't know if mancloud ever ulted scarra mid/late game, but being able to stun lock anyone and pretty much telling your team to blow that person up is just hell for Yi.

That's how you build ryze o.o. You get your two items which you need to build up which gives you the most mana first and then start building your tankier mana items. It just so happens that his two most mana heavy items also give AP. You don't want to start buying a rod/tears 20-30 minute into the game. I agree he maybe could have gotten an FH instead of finishing his seraphs but oh well.

Man. Vulcan is such a strange team... Smithie is considered "weak" but every game I've seen him in he puts a ton of pressure. ManCloud is ofc god, but Zuna and Sid are also really underwhelming.

Zuna has been out of position so many times, so he's basically been dead for all of their fights. It's Mancloud and Bloodwater doing amazing stuff with those ults.


Yeah but that's not just this game. It's EVERY game. It's just super strange to watch... They always have an advantage but it always seems like they got it in this really crazy way.

I guess that's what I mean. They're just a really scrappy team, and its weird that they can be consistently successful with that sorta style.

This isn't solo Q. You adapt your build to what your team needed. This game they needed some form of frontline to soak up damage for Yi resets. Going full damage doesn't offer them anything.

Mancloud and bloodwater are absurdly strong as playmakers, zuna/sid really don't often have to do much except follow up what mancloud and bloodwater set up and xmithie tends to find himself getting everything in position for mancloud/bloodwater.

How is Yi going to get the resets in the first place if Ryze isn't putting out damage?

I don't, and I would not have expected him to rush it. However at the end of the game he had not begun building a single defensive item and was the first one to be blown up just about every fight, contributing pretty much nothing but one snare to any of them.


Hmm...that was overly snarky. I apologize.

Kiwikid had no gold. Dig kept losing team fights with no kills and he couldn't split push. He had no money for defensive items.

They try to out play their opponents, rather then waiting for their opponent to make a mistake. Like what Artosis said "Rely on yourself being better, not your opponent being worse." It is the proper way to play, though you need to actually have the skill to back it up (this is probably why koreans just run around the map shitting on people).

I think the problem was picking Yi in the first place

Dig really needed a different jungle champ there I think...not every jungle can pull the Insec plays on Lee and everytime Cumbz went in it was without his team and he failed to actually do anything except die :/

The team comp was terrible for Yi, too. Dig had a lot of on demand CC in the game vs TSM and totally lacked it this time. The desperate flash rune prison onto J4 and the ludicrous engages by Lee displayed this exactly.

Good night everyone. West coast events too late for me.

Don't think Yi or Ryze was the problem, picking Lee when you don't have the mechanics to make a pick with Dragons rage is dubious at best. Not to mention everyone in the entire building including Rivington knew Jarvan would come back mid when Scarra's flash was down and Lee has more than enough early game damage to counter gank that.

A lot went wrong for them this game to be sure but I just can't get past that Lee pick.

Scrappy is a good way to define their playstyle. It's why you can't really bet on them to perform the same way all the time. It's definitely weird because it's not something that usually works, and it shows when they play against stronger teams.
