EPT[S3 Worlds] Quarterfinals - Page 199
| Forum Index > LoL Tournaments |
Two things as public notice: 1. + Show Spoiler [Quarterfinals 1 spoiler] + Congrats to Fnatic, they played superbly and glgl to them in the Semis! No one is saying that Fnatic only won because of the level 1 in Game 3. Please keep the nationalistic statements out of our subforum. 2. Riot's Worlds format is atrocious. Let's not beat a dead horse here. I will certainly be talking to Riot's eSports dept about it in the near future. I simply ask everyone to be civil. Humble in victory, graceful in defeat. Enjoy the games~ -Neo, Sept 23rd, 3:20 PM PDT, page 120 | ||

Voidle catches the hook for the early death. Pray/Cain proceed to carry. I like that the analysis desk is shitting on Watch's Nunu pick. Watch's job that game was "be a warm body." Pray/Cain did all the carrying. Nid-Corki pairing seems fine to me too. But Nunu? That could have been literally any jungler and accomplished that. | ||

Watch's job that game was "be a warm body." That one absolute zero was really the main noteworthy thing he did. Completely removed Gambit's attempted Eve/Shen pincer move. Edit: That's not to say it was a good pick, but that was a nice play. | ||

I kind of wish that Royal Club could reach the finals so I can witness the rematch between PraY and Uzi. I'm running out of heroes to worship, and I hope Uzi doesn't disappoint. Expression did his job as Renekton in those 2 victories, strong split pusher with good presence in team fights to soak up damage while his team cleans up | ||

Nagne will be the key if they want to make the finals. He was shaky to start, but had two extremely strong games to finish off the series. Beating Alex was good, but he'll more than likely have to deal with Faker in the semifinals. Pray and Cain should be able to match Piglet and Pooh, but Nagne will need some more trick champions up his sleeve to pull out. | ||

Watch's job that game was "be a warm body." What hurts most about it is that GG simply had to draw that thing out and wasn't even forced to get ahead in lanes because G3 would have just been carried by Kog against NJS's comp. Then Voidle randomly goes ham in bot or they actually try to fight the 2v2 or 3v3 situations which didn't help at all. NJS will get outdrafted in semis though, no matter by whom. | ||

To be fair, NaJin's picks were pretty subpar imo. NaJin's bot lane flat out dominated. Expession got a shit ton of free farm every time Darien Stand United. And those Shen ultis didn't even turn that many fights in Gambit's favor. NaJin came out on top in those team fights. Then Nagne just went along the came completely unhindered. Alex looked the weakest I've seen all Worlds long on Gragas. Add it all together, NaJin's shit comp was not an issue at all. Weak frontline of just Renek was no problem. Backline of Corki Nid was untouchable. | ||

If he was lee sin they probably pick up a lot more kills early on. Still, I noticed that korean teams are really on the ball about taking the enemy jungle whenever they have an advantage, it's probably one of the biggest factors in how they are able to maintain+strengthen their leads. Nunu can counterjungle quickly even if he's only got a couple seconds before needed to b, so it works out. What I'm saying is that Nunu is a really good choice ...for snowballing | ||

They were really lucky cain and pray got things rolling and baited gambit into trying to help them recover. | ||

His ult is literally hit or miss and his damage isn't that high compared to other APs. Compared to orianna he's better at staying alive in lane though. Really it's just zed, ahri, fizz, kassadin being a tier above the rest atm. | ||

I think Nagne had like a 20% accuracy rate with his spears, Gambit played like shit all around (not just Voidle), and PraY/Cain were really really strong. I guess the analysts could've talked about how good their bot lane is but they did that last game lol. | ||
