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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

"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. | ||

"Flexible champion pool" doesn't even begin to describe him. | ||

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? | ||

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

It's like beating them over the head with your winner status.  | ||
