EPTAt worlds I feel like C9 had a very hai oriented playstyle which was basically "hai dies, let him do it and trade it off and we'll convert it into advantages for balls/sneaky". Throw him on an assassin like zed/talon and let him run around dying, as long as he got enough farm to duel people he's enough of a threat 10 deaths or not and the team just rushes objectives (which was bolstered by rumble's return for balls since he could basically equalise (EHEUHUEHUEHE) the numbers advantage). I just think that rat LoL is really not what C9 is good at, their calls for shots and shots for calls are great which makes rat LoL work but rat LoL mainly just made their games look close, in their big win vs NJWS it was normal teamfight focus that let balls/sneaky take the reins of the game that worked best

But still I agree even by EDG's mediocre pre-playoffs record they looked abnormally poor SAVING STRATS. Dunno, i still don't see Starhorn winning it, if EDG just play at least, mediocre. Laneswap NaMei, force corn onto Yasuo, ban Ryze. Free elo. Even though, if Clearlove and NaMei are going to be that underwhelming still, meh. | ||

Even if it's slightly off meta, it's easiest way to abuse Starhorn and escape EDG's only real weakness - their atrocious early game + Clearlove is useless anyway, stealing bunch of experience from him won't hurt a lot. SHRC are playing every laneswap in same way - Uzi shoves his lane, gets tower, goes to other side of map, shoves there, tax Cola more and more, then comes mid and taxes corn as well, basically, accumulating more and more. EDG teamfighting is good enough to remove one threat instantly, even if it's Uzi with Zero peel and by forcing Corn not onto Orianna and Cola not on Ryze, which makes us assume that Koro1 will play Maokai into Jax/Irelia with higih priority every game, it's secured wins for EDG. | ||

C9 can only win against strong teams when they got sufficiently far ahead in the early game that Hai derping does not impact the game. | ||
