I dislike attempting to baron steal when it is a 5v4, and their main damage source has used up his mana by trying to reach from bot lane to baron pit. I dislike their jungler attempting to put down wards while he takes free harass. The baron steal wouldn't have turned the game around even if they got it. I disagree with your assessment of "turning the game around" by far.

imo fnatic in big enough of a deficit where they need to try high risk shit like that to try and keep the game in contention.

It was bad because it was a 4v5. It was way too desperate and NO ONE on fnatic was ready to contend it. All of them aside from kha'zix were out of position. So what's the point? Kayle also flashed into the baron pit just to die. It was easy baron, and they helped it even more by giving 2 more kills there.

It's desperation that doesn't work the large majority of the times, so why should I like plays like that?

because if you just let them have baron you're past the point of no return anyways.
it's pretty much, take the 1% chance of it working to even game out, or do nothing and lose.

That's not true. Fnatic wasn't that far behind. (one good fight away). Giving away the two kills was what really sealed the deal.

i'm not saying that was the case exactly in that situation, but from fnatic's mindset, that was the position they thought they were in. It wasn't a "bad" decision imo.

I think it kind of depends on how fnatic were feeling about the series.

On one hand you might try to stall a game out if you're up 2-0 to try and really wear the other team down, make them fight for every inch to just win one game.

On the other hand you might say "we're up 2-0, let's take a crazy risk, if it pays off it's a killing blow, if it fails we have the next game to work with".

I think both decisions are acceptable depending on how they feel about the series overall.

That's more of a fault with SK not banning nidalee. It's really odd. I don't know of any team currently who wouldn't first pick nidalee on blue side if they got the chance to. They are prioritizing lee sin and sivir bans instead???

Now now, SK will have a chance if they can build a mothership and vortex the fnatic backline while funneling their cc and fighters into the blackhole as well.

The problem is if you ban Nidalee as SK you've halved your midlaner's champion pool.

God I hope Fnatic looses with that poke comp. Jesiz on Ahri doesnt make me hopeful though.

I have never seen him do very good on an assassin type champion, and it only got harder with new exhaust. He should really stick to what he has had succes with in such an important game.

Uh, I don't understand this. SK aren't blue side, there's absolutely no way Fnatic would allow SK to get nidalee.
Or it was a joke, and I fail. I think i fail.

The real horror would be if you could run this comp with a utility jungler like Amumu/Sej. Then it actually would be BL/Infestor - you'd just walk up to towers as 5 people and if they engage you just have your jungler ult.
