on the topic of the games though, is it just me or had Ahri been garbage in this tournament, outside of TInowns's sick game vs. Alliance I feel like all I've seen that hero do is lose or be carried.
I also find it pretty humorous that SSW are apparently incapable of not trolling, I was really sad they didn't throw down the hammer and make TSM loss streak to Koreans as hilarious as possible, but I'm glad TSM actually came to play game 4 giving the third game at least a hint of legitimacy.
Lastly I'm still really surprised that Kha'zix has not risen in pick/ban priority, I think he's easily one of the strongest heroes on this patch, especially when the thumb is banned, he has no peer.
I feel like SSW'S teleports were a big part of their "winning strategys" while watching the games. I actually felt like what they do isn't some kind of mastermind stuff. All they do is they see dyrus using his teleport then their toplaner goes base then the other members start some kind of stupid fight that seems advantageous for TSM then he teleports in.

As someone who used to write about LoL, Riot basically hiring the enthusiast press and just having them work for them was a super bummer.

Those league articles were so fun. Hope it was as fun writing them as it was reading them.

I think that series went about as expected. Tsm got better as the series went but while I expected game 1 to go very strongly in favor of ssw game 2 was a bit of disappointment tsm should have been much better. Game 4 tsm played well and even out played white some great early tower rotationss but the pick/ban phase went so heavily in favor for white. First pick thresh was a huge mistake IMO. It allowed ssw to build probably the best possible combo around imps twitch. And the ahri pick just didn't have much of chance considering u are never gonna 100 to 0 the twitch with windwall/Braum shield and Kayle ult up.

There were ups and downs but overall it was a great experience. Writing was almost always fun, the politics on whether or not we deserved official coverage was not lol.

Politics is only fun when you laughing at it from the outside :<. Oh well at least you enjoyed it.

If Blue don't derp picks&ban i don't think they'll lose. Rumble has to be perma-banned, maybe zed.
|
Rumble is the red teams burden this series
|
Yeah I was always on the fence about Dyrus, the games showed he isn't good enough if he doesn't get rumble. He's pretty damn good at rumble though.

Acorn will first pick Rumble every game on blue side and on red Blue can easily trade Rumble ban for Zilean pick because Hai's Zilean was rather unimpressive to say the least.

lemon is good on zilean too though

Anyone got link to Korean VoDs of the games?

Well I was right about White beating TSM 3-1 but didn't write it down, so I'll try and keep this going and say Blue will win 3-2.

He is but support Zillian isn't a must ban
he's bad in a lot of 2v2s, he's nothing special for swaps, he has to buy a tear at some point which pushes back michaels he's good, but he is flawed when compared to heroes being banned.
