What about BotRK as first item timing for Kog? It would have done just fine, and considering gold disparity + gold difference cost between botrk and trifroce, kog would have been a zeal up on vayne.

The gold disparity would not have been as large building a BotRK because Cutlass is an inferior buildup compared to Phage+Zeal.

The phage+zeal timing is still when lane is 2v2 though. The biggest deal you were talking about was solo lane kill potential at first big item timing. It's okay to have worse build up if it's a 2v2.

I feel like the Korean teams really didn't respect their opponents enough hopefully those loses where a wake up call for them.

No, because a bad item buildup turns into a farm disadvantage (or a smaller farm advantage in the case that the lane is already advantaged like Kog+Sona vs. Vayne+Zyra is).

Phage Kog vs. Vamp Vayne lets Kog punish Vayne way harder than Vamp Kog vs. Vamp Vayne, which is where the farm disparity begins to grow.

Hmm, okay, interesting. I see where you going with this.
The sheen part of triforce almost seems like such a huge dump in gold though, without creating a huge advantage. but I guess with new Triforce changes, it makes it okay even on champs like kog.

the big point that yango is trying to make is that the fact that genja had the triforce buildup (and early prioritization on movespeed in general) allowed him to exert the control and pressure on vayne that would have been in the opposite direction had he attempted to go a "standard" lategame oriented buildup, botrk ie or w.e.

with the triforce, the poking and zone potential from kog maw is too great for vayne to freely CS. her only opportunity is to lasthit and heal back up at tower, or simply get kited in small skirmishes. without any built up damage, it is all to easy for kog maw to kite her without any real risk of dying due to his E and summoners unless they land the perfect CC combo.

with the pressure in the lane reversed, SGO has even less map control than they would have had otherwise. normally one would expect an ADC player of imp's quality to be able to win that matchup under normal builds, but in this scenario we see genja's theorycraft at work.

as for sheen/tri procs, ult and then auto her with your w up when she gets into range. your W will be up long enough that you can repeat if she is foolish enough to come back. use this combo when creeps are somewhat lasthittable for vayne = denied easy lasthits, free lane pressure

Don't put too much thought into two bo1 game per team.
We've seen that early advantage (omg vs ozone, vulcun vs fnatic, gambit vs ozone) that is sometimes random played a big role here.

Apparently OMG's known for their aggressive early game, although there are others who can speak better on the subject than I can. From the few games I watched they do like to play rather aggro and end games early in the LPL, although I felt that's like all the teams in LPL

OMG's general playstyle is to use Cool+Lovelin to open up the early game aggressively, with the 2 sidelanes as a stable foundation for their early development. Their early game will feel quite aggressive but from there they will typically try to slow-roll their lead. People actually overstate how aggressive OMG is--among the Chinese teams they tend to be among the safer and more conservative teams (iG and Royal are very aggressive, OMG and WE are comparatively conservative, and PE is somewhere in the middle).

The main thing about OMG is that as a team they are very good at judging whether or not they can win fights--they will happily take fights they can win and disengage cleanly from fights they can't. So in stompy games it will seem like they are fighting a lot simply because the other team repeatedly gives them fights they know they can win.

You're wrong Yango. OMG wins games because Lovelin is a man.
God Bless

Kog's Q is also a really cost-effective nuke + debuff in duels/skirmishes and you get another tf proc out of it -- normally you don't want to fight in that range because of Kog's low mobility but I think with triforce it's way more manageable (also Ozone had a somewhat kiteable low range comp)

Genja's performance in lane + teamfights blew my mind that match

While the Sheen itself does not add much Genja build it as a 3e item so instead of spending Sheen gold on no advantage he spend Sheen + 3 gold on turning phage/zeal into a Triforce which does give him a power spike.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

Gambit looked very strong and back in from versus Ozone, but I have a feeling that the second time they meet will be a whole different game.

And any predictions on how fast Mineski vs Ozone will be today?

So those in the Korean netizen know what is being said about Gambit/SGO I kind of think some people are still in catatonic shock.

"Ambition is the best mid in the world." In comes Dade. Ambition regressed to plat.

"Dade is the best mid in the world." In comes Faker. Dade regressed to patch 3.7.

Who's next??

By the way I wasn't around for the games live, and couldn't find it on search - why is Looper playing instead of Homme?

We were talking about this on Team Speak yesterday, most people think Faker will just adjust to the meta better than the other top Mid laners. If you think about it his champion pool is pretty strong. He favors assassins but his Ori is beastly as well.

If you can play aggro and control to the level of Faker, you're pretty much a god. "Flexible champion pool" doesn't even begin to describe him.

It can't be overstated that Cool was on his best champion, his comfort pick, Orianna. Faker was playing Gragas, a champion he's not even well known for, and yet Faker very convincingly won lane despite OMG winning every where else on the map.

We'll see how Cool does against him in game 2.

Ahri is Cool's comfort pick.

Regionals skewed peoples' opinions because of how many games they played vs. Royal. Ori is the Fizz+Annie comp's kryptonite, while Ahri is near-unplayable against that comp.


Thanks, I didn't know that!

Okay, seriously, how good is this fizz+annie comp i keep hearing about? Like, is this Royal's ace in their sleeve that's going to absolutely wreck everyone, except those who have played against it?


Before Chinese regionals it had never lost. At regionals OMG beat it once and lost to it every other time Royal Club ran it. Most teams just ban Annie against Royal Club but idk if international teams will know to do that or not. It's a really strong comp that works really well with the fact that Royal Club plays some damn aggressive.


How well would a disengage comp work on them say like C9's Ashe/Zyra?

Watching these games just really wish there was a TPA Orianna skin. :/

EDIT: To clarify, I mean that if Mundo Ez Orianna Jayce Nunu are played, they should be required to use the TPA skins.

The TPA Shen skin was a no brainer for me and the TPA Mundo is great for throwing champion cups in people's faces. It's like beating them over the head with your winner status.
