Yeah, if I was on Ves with only 3 wins to my name and had control of the game, I would play as carefully as possible to keep from throwing. I feel like if they get another good week and a few more wins they will start closing games out faster and with more confidence.

They played out mid game correctly I felt though. It's not like they were going to get outscaled by Vulcun into late game; not to mention they were still outfarming Vulcun the entire time. It's not like they let Vulcun get ahead; also their team comp isn't exactly the best tower diving teamcomp either.
The last 5-10 min; I agree. They were ridiculously far ahead; should have just strutted in and styl'd all over Vulcun.

I feel like people should stop calling blue ez an ad carry. Its almost like calling any malphite or cho who picks up an abyssal an ap carry.
In my mind blue ez does quite little of what an ad carry does. Sure he does auto attack but he's more of an ad caster if anything.

I think it's just a normal week. Feels like this week was crunched because of EU.

lol.
And VES played fine that game. Not great but fairly good by NA standards.

I like that "disengage" and Ecco "No, no! I'm going in!" and then Vileroze is all "Go back in!".

they call him ad carry cause he basically builds and plays the same way when he's picked for bot

Ecco's TF was so Hnnnnggg worthy. He fucking played PERFECT. Such sick plays.

I think it was fine from VES to play slowly. A better team would have closed out faster, but you gotta walk before you can run.

I'd rather have VES win boring and safe, growing their 10k gold lead to 20k gold lead, then have them try to end the game as quickly as possible, get caught, lose a big team fight, lose Baron and then watch as they somehow lose a game that they shouldn't have lost.

BEST MARKSMAN CONFIRMED.
The ban gods were clearly pleased with yesterdays sacrifice

Ecco has really been the key to turning around Velocity. He puts pressure on mid whereas teams before could focus on botlane as it was the only real threat to carry.

both are bad, one's not necessarily better than the other, because if you needlessly drag on a team without being decisive enough to end, you're simply giving the other team more time to farm and more chances to make a comeback
vulcun had the better late game comp tbh they just never got to a point where everyone wasnt down at least 1 item

Looks like no one will ever run double AD vs VES again
Oh who am I kidding, CLG will probably try 3 carries next time

Vulcun needed another 30k gold before reaching the point where they could out DPS the tankiness that VES had.
VES had a huge time buffer, and it's not like they were losing their lead; they were GROWING it. The problem with EU games; is the lead doesn't change (which is losing your lead due to scaling).

People will ban Ecco's TF (and probably Vileroze's Shen, at least until he proves he has other options as solid if not more for offlane and 1v2), more probably.

They shouldn't call him an ad carry when he's bot either, assuming he goes for standard blue build.
Edit: Marksmage sounds good to me!
