I hate to disappoint you, but I can 100% guarantee that Ozone will not win a single game tonight.

It has decent synergy. Explosive Cask to separate the team, Equalizer to prevent them from regrouping.

Big hit to Rumble's DPS though. I'd rather just trap them in a Cataclysm and watch Equalizer melt health bars lol

I like there games, they have great potential for future worlds but they are not there yet. Kinda like Vulcan really, imo a better team then TSM if they can just bring that little bit extra on a stage. Oh well, Group A is all but over.
Group B will be fun to watch for sure, with 2 day's of rest i wanne see how OMG is recovering from there bad games.
Mostly agree, but then again a year is a long time. A lot of stuff can happen-- a team may look on a good trajectory for months, then all of a sudden implode.

Eh, it really depends what kind of comp you're looking for. There's a lot of situations with big AOE's where deterrence can be just as effective as the damage.

I'm not saying it's the best synergy but there is definitely potential to divide and isolate with Gragas/Rumble, and then you have incredible burst from Elise/Corki.
I've had doubts with Gragas + other AoE synergy but there are plenty of times I've seen where it worked wonderfully. Gragas + Kennen is one I've seen, there was also an IH where we had Gragas/Amumu/Sona.

Might start adding more lifestyle content to my Tumblr since I have had many comments on my fashion and shave. Any thoughts?
Soon we can all dress fresh like Monte. Show nested quote +Funny story told by OMG's coach. Apparently after the team arrived in LA, OMG's coach was able to contact and set up scrims with most of the other teams. However, when OMG approached SKT, SKT said something like no, they did not have time. After Day 1 when OMG beat SKT, SKT's coached approached OMG trying to set up a scrim. OMG's coach told SKT that sorry, their schedule was full. Something off Reddit, reminds me of the whole NA/EU debacle in allstars. It's also pretty much exactly what happened at TI2 between iG and Na'Vi during groupstage.

Felt a bit sad for TSM, so many missed opportunities and blunders early game. First tower dive on Renekton was an easy kill if Cocoon landed. They managed to catch Faker and had the kill if OddOne flashed for his Cocoon. Then there were greedy misplays by Dyrus, trying to use Flamespitter 1v2 when his flash is down. OddOne had an easy kill on Caitlyn but he fail flashed.
Xpecial and WildTurtle played really well, but a lackluster showing from everyone else.

wow, the vision blind spot thing is even bigger than i thought
![[image loading]](http://puu.sh/4usrH.jpg)
apparently neither ward could detect the other in this case. i get that the corner of the wall is kind of in the way, but it only looks like it barely extends into the line... not much of a block. I guess this means you'd probably need at least 2 pinks to make sure dragon is clear of wards, since if SKT had put theirs any further out of the pit, then it wouldn't be able to spot a ward in the dragon pit corner.

This is a pretty good summary for the game, I feel like TSM had better teamfights and thus would have won if these things didn't happen the way it did. But I guess thats the difference between champions and others.

But I guess thats the difference between champions and others. Take it how you will, but the analyst desk (Jatt, Monte, Krepo, Doublelift) were saying how TSM played the better theoretical game, but failed in execution and mechanics. That is, they had the right idea (early dive, Dyrus backing off the tower anticipating the 3v1 dive, how to play against a pick comp, etc...) but failed in the execution (Xpecial drawing tower aggro too early in dive, Dyrus dying stupidly 1v2 outside T2, facechecking bushes out of impatience, etc...).
I'm inclined to agree.

Exactly. I posted a few pages earlier, as a SKT fan this game worries me greatly. They showed little-to-no adaption in the two days they've had off since they were murdered by OMG in the early game and had a chance to watch all the other teams in this meta. Staying at that turret 3v1 was absolute suicide.

I think gogoing has the right idea.
If you're in a 1v2, and their holding the wave so that they can dive with impunity with the cannon wave(or even before that) or push the turret, you might as well go take wolves/doubles/wraiths beforehand to get some semblance of farm and xp.
For example, the SKT v TSM game, Dyrus backed off, and basically sat at inner turret at level 1 for the first 4-5 minutes waiting for his turret to die. Might take rumble's entire health bar do to wraiths camp, but it could still be better than trying to get a couple creeps of EXP.

It''s a trick of the camera, the angle screws up a lot of things. The wards are positioned at the base and not the gem.
