NiP blew up Voidle, unfortunately he got The Box down first so it didn't accomplish much.

Feels like Gambit has the stronger teamfight but Bjergsen cannot be 1v1'd be anyone.

But he has maxed W first. He's maxing Q (more damage basically) over E (better poke in lane and stronger self-peel with the slow).

(I'm talking situations where the main enemy tank has some armor, the AP has zhonyas but that's all)

LW actually outperforms BT for autos pretty early (around 100 armour iirc?), and when you rely on spells you have base damage that benefit from the penetration too.

Also in this case NiP wants early penetration because Zac is their only magic damage*, meaning that Gambit should win if the game goes late enough that they just stack armour. Seeing how their itemisation is predictable, you'd rather have BC/LW a bit early than have to start working on them after you notice all of them finishing a major armour item.

* Zyra actually has huge base damage, esp. on plants but considering Gambit's comp I don't think they'll live long.

Actually the more armor you have the less the efficienty per point of armor is.

10 armor = you take 91% phys damage
25 armor = you take 80% phys damage
50 armor = you take 66% phys damage
100 armor = you take 50% phys damage
200 armor = you take 33% phys damage

So lowering someone's armor from 50 to 10 has a higher impact on your damage output than lowering someone's armor from 200 to 100.

Now the story is a bit different for ADCs because of crits but assassin abilities can't crit.

Finally Alex Ich gets a good Shockwave.

This game is over when Genja gets a GA, thats just too much for NiP to deal with.

Darien not dealing a lot of damage at this point of the game...


His blood well management is really subpar, in the entire game he never fought with it full. The attack speed and potential bit more health from the passive ressurect makes such a huge difference, I must say I'm pretty underwhelmed by the aatrox plays from Darien.

Edit: and as I say that Alex Ich pulls off a great shockwave and Darien wrecks them with his blood well full. Let's see if it's too late or not.

Voidle didn't have an oracle in any of the initial fights. Bjergson would always do a rotation, ult to safety then another rotation. Now Voidle is running perma oracles he only has his initial burst which isn't high enough.
Only the weak link is strong enough to break the chain.

Genja maxing q after w 0.o

not sure whats wrong with that, Q gives attack spd

Everything. W gives range and damage, over... A passive attack speed xD

Usually kogs go W>E>Q :p


I don't know how the fact W gives range and damage makes a difference about whether Q or E should be max second (which is what nafta was questionning).

Personnally I'm not so shocked about it in this particular game. Zac, Talon and J4 can all close the gap to Kog regardless of the slow. The armor/mr debuff is far from bad.

I'm trying to think...when was the last time we saw an LCS game where two teams played extremely well, and one team just ouplayed the other, and the game *wasn't* decided by people derping and getting caught out one at a time and forcing 3v5 and 4v5 defenses?

Grah. I'll be back for game 3.

That was brutal. Darien needs to die 3times to be out of the way, don't think NIP has what it takes to kill him thrice, Alex twice, Genja twice before being wiped.
