We have seen the "protect the AD" comp a ton of times, most of the time having the top laners tempo absolutely demolished for the sake of the team while on a champion like Rumble or something. But it seems to me that a champion like Yorick would fit that a lot better. A Yorick with Sightstone, Aegis, and another tanky item is fine being like 5k gold behind the other champions. Get that sweeping lense. We've seen a bunch of Rumble bans, a bunch of Lulu bans, and then these teams just default to like Ryze when their idea is to get their AD really big and protect them. Call me crazy, but I'd take a Kogmaw ghost and a another ward bitch over an underfed Ryze that wasted all his game development making sure a kog/trist got gold funneled to them. | ||

Ah well. Clearly since CN beat CN they are better than NA, even though CN lost to NA. | ||

Even with fancy rotato potato, I don't see them beating a team like Royal Club. I mean, just watch game 3. Royal Club constantly down 10k, still winning teamfights. | ||

Based on their two group games, it does not seem likely to happen. | ||

I'm too busy today to dig deep but if my Twitter feed is accurate lol People have been entirely too tolerant with the Chinatalk crew and their consistent walking back of past statement/pretending they didn't make arrogant predictions at one point or another. In G5, SHRC had a super fed trist that was level 13+ and 3 outer turrets up against a Twitch Rumble team. So naturally, they positioned around baron for 4 minutes. Then, when that was not going well, they against twitch/syndra decided to split into several 1 man teams in random lanes. This wasn't Dade getting caught against C9, with Deft being too indecisive at retreating immediately, it was basically a teamwide decision to do it. Oh, and EDG got the same pick and did nothing with it. | ||

Dunno about Starhorn chances against White Shield though, Cola is too heavy outside of Ryze, corn is underwhelming a lot, so NJWS might either salvage their botlane by laneswapping or just be okay with Zefa's Corki picks. But Uzi will have to play 1,5x better than he did against EDG to have chance for Royal Club hitting second final in a row. Clearlove though, why didn't you pick Evelynn Game 5, for fuck sake. | ||

I just see the Chinese have much better mechanics and hence outplay potential. The rotations , or solid "macro" based play as the announcers would call it, only matter if the players are of similar abilities. I don't see that being the case here. Invalidate round robin groups as much as you like TSM is 1-1 with them in the only concrete metric | ||

I think there must be some kind of subtle joke in iCanada's post given that NA and CN went 2-2 against each other in groups. Maybe making a parody of NA fanboys ? | ||

CN winrate vs Korea: 0.0% NA winrate vs Korea: >0.0% therefore NA > CN QED + Show Spoiler + I actually expect OMG vs NJWS to change that, if they don't...lol | ||

Maybe making a parody of NA fanboys ? Its a bit of both, lol. I think its so cool that western teams are able to hang around after my experience watching broodwar. Brings a tear to this old mans eye. At the same time, i think the comparisons that get thrown around are a little outlandish both ways. I definitely dont think you can say CN or NA are much better than one another either way, based on what we have seen. | ||

Fuck that dragon dance throw. Fuck that t1 throw to make people think Uzi is a god (Janna/Ori shields and summoner Heal did so much there to keep him alive, Wing in was the easy part but I'd rather look at Zero there). EDG... ¬¬ | ||
