While this game doesn't say much he has shown what many of the great midlaners besides Faker lack: Consistency at a high level. His play is always solid at worst. He's never the reason his team loses but more often than not the one who is the deciding factor in Shield's wins. Even if they lose he manages to keep them in games.

I would like to, once again, praise the god DoA for giving us twitch chats with monte emotes.

casters have a tendency to discuss windwall as though it was not a 20 sec cd

I don't remember the last time Ggoong had a bad game. I consider his nid better than Faker's for sure. Not only that, but he's capable of carrying his team beyond just not feeding. Unlike others *cough* froggen.

It confused me really early before I played Yasuo when there was all this talk of Yasuo shutting down Nidalee whilst she still throws 5 spears for every one that gets blocked.

Also, seems like most people are still bad at placing wind walls.

i see ogn also suffers from the s3/s4 changes and 50+ minute games are quite common now

"suffer" here is pretty subjective. I can't say I don't miss half the games being 20 minute surrenders.

Also, black sword and IM#2 are doing equally terrible jobs of closing this out whenever they get an advantage. Hence the game length.

I much prefer these games to 20 minute stomps. You could literally watch the first 15 minutes and turn the stream off every game and know the outcome.

I think saying the game is now only decided in the lategame would be a retarded statement to say though. Early game leads still mean a lot.

I think OGN has a dailymotion stream if you want to try your luck there

So are the playoffs already set? KT eliminated for sure?

Yeah. They needed Najin to lose vs IM and then win vs Green Wings to get in.

If KT 3-0 Jin Air they will get 3 points which will put them above Najin in the playoffs... no? Even if they 2-1 they will be on 0 points and thus equal with Najin, which will then take it to some kind of tiebreaker situation (I don't know what that is for this league). How can they be knocked out if they still have a game in hand and only 1 point behind on the standings? Or am I missing something?
