Well the thing is Athenes is one item that gives you all you want for a start. Lots of mana regen, a devent amount of ap and some important mr for the early laning. And after its done your comletly open to build full damage or a bit more tanky.
Especially when the enemy is having a lead you dont want to spend half the game building up these morellos.

somewhat outpicked because of interesting jungle choices into powerofevil outplaying bjergsen and uol just playing better

other games were ok, but nothing special, c9 played double ad both times and took longer to win than expected

Weird that there is no price money to win for the teams. They basically play for nothing while in SC2 there is price money.

Because Morel love is like 130% cost efficient without the healing reduction.

Still, Burger King should have built a tank item instead. He was dying way too much.

lol oh god

tsm is going to get whipped by regi tonight

Whoever is in charge of their P&B needs to get whoped.

Both games UOL had P/B which gave them the initiative and advantage.

And Bjergsen needs 1000 games of solo-Q going athene's first so he knows where the item is.


Can't really blame them for the P&B in game 1, noone expected the jungle tf that tricked them into xerath.

I can respect that. But even then why would you pick Xerath and not Le Blanc into a supposed TF mid?

And first picking pantheon over gnar.



Honestly though, Xerath is about as good as LB vs TF. Plus Burgerking is more comfortable on Xerath.

We'll have to disagree on that. LB imo gives more pressure because of solo-kill potential and roaming. The ability to influence and pressure the map should be more valuable that Xerath who isn't as mobile.

Can't argue Bjergsen will more likely be more comfortable on Xerath though. It was one of his key champions for last NA split.

TSM more used to playing with Xerath, and he fit the sort of "distanced engage" that TSM wanted to have with Rumble.

Hopefully no one is taking anything away from UoL vs TSM. As much as I would love to shit on TSM cuz TSM, they're notorious for being terrible when new major patches kick in.

Describing TSM as a "terrible" team has never been incorrect though.

Maybe they were strong in S1 or something, I don't know since I wasn't playing back then, but they have been absolutely irrelevant on the international scene for a long while now (just like any EU or NA team tho).

I'm not surprised that UoL can beat TSM because I view this IEM and western LoL in general as the bronze league of competitive LoL : everything can happen and anyone can win because every team is utterly incompetent.

It has nothing to do with international scene, when TSM is playing against the likes of UoL, so your point about international scene is completely moot.

TSM has always struggled with brand new patches, it happened in s3, and it happened in s4. It's just inherent in their extremely standard playstyle. They rely on beating people with already fleshed out strategies simply due to being better players, when a new patch like this comes out TSM tends to flounder quite a bit.

It worked for c9 obviously. But i dont understand why that was their strategy going into the games.
