Dig does take more risks around Baron than necessary but I wouldn't keep harping it as a massive Achilles heel despite hilarity aside. Personally I thought DIG showed how strong they can be. I think DIG with LMQ finishing 1-2 superweek would be pretty awesome. (Funny that Curse has to play both lol) I don't think it was that risky of a baron to be honest. I mean of course baron carries a risk by default. I just don't think it was a baron they could throw with. Cloud9's main damage dealer(twitch/sneaky) was greedy to choose to be the one to push bot. To add to that, I want to point out that this was actually their second call to get baron after a few of c9 pushed bot(one of the commentators pointed out that dig pinged baron). The first time around, cloud9 took advantage of it, and pushed bot hard while dignitas stumbled around mid being indecisive. The second time, dignitas did not make this same mistake, and took baron. It was not as risky as it seemed. If you want around the exact time stamp, start from here: + Show Spoiler + If the link doesn't work(they very rarely do, I'm probably doing something wrong), this is around the 31:00 mark. The ping is around 31:25. So dignitas was looking for this opening, and they took advantage of how greedy sneaky/cloud9 was being. It was a really good call because they saw a pattern with how cloud9 were attacking, and capitalized on it. | ||

It's easy to overlook his knowledge thanks to that. He has a lot of "tactical" knowledge, which is interesting (tormented soil being 8 ticks, etc). But he doesn't seem to really demonstrate whatever good strategic knowledge he may have. | ||

He's got a bunch of minutia about the game just drilled into his brain(like Tormented Soil being 8 ticks, who knows that off the top of their head?) that I think his casting character massively overshadows. It's because everyone on here thinks they know more about League of Legends than a Diamond I solo queue player and 3 former pros (Kobe, Jatt, Deficio). This is why you sometimes hear statements such as "Monte doesn't know anything about this game," and "scarra is so bad, I'm Gold II and I could play better than scarra." | ||

No seriously, I think people criticize Quickshot and Riv mostly, I've not seen a lot of people bashing Kobe, Jatt or Deficio. And Monte is respected by most TLers too | ||

For example at 3:20 in Dig vs C9 Meteos just needed to go top instead of doing wraiths. Also I like how retarded Hai is and ignite Shipthur for no reason at lvl 5. Think the ignite was to make sure shipthur didn't keep going on Hai. He wasn't sure if he was going to all in with his ignite or not so he just blew it early to either force shipthur to back off or try get a trade for his death. Don't see at all how it was retarded. | ||
