Lustboy had a fairly bad game.


I'm surprised nobody gave him shit for buying Rylai's before Zhonya's on Kennen yet. Last time someone did this in the LCS the thread was full of player bashing. I believe it was Quas (I know it's a Kennen top but i think the situation is similar)

If he doesn't dive, he doesn't need Zhonya's. But in the midgame Kog wasn't strong enough yet so he had to go deeper to zone/stun the carries on his frontline.

(Not particularly defending the Rylai's, but the fights in which he'd have needed Zhonya's the most, he didn't have the budget since support.)
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.

i feel like kennen support doesn't care about surviving, and kalista ulti itself is kind of like a zhonyas... rylais jsut adds more utility, extra slows is pretty nice skill toi have

Hai's lack of playing pressure champs killed them there. Sure it was a last pick, but its a last pick you wouldn't even ponder practicing if you were going to be up against Bjergson, Febiven, or another mid who puts on pressure during the laning phase.

As much as exciting EU final was, one cannot deny NA teams are much more refined in the field of strategy, map control, achieving objectives and teamfights. The gap is pretty huge unfortunately.

unfortunately, similarly to EU, they both have their manager and coaches on the stage when they win.

Are you still butthurt over EU thread discussion?

it's fine, cuz tsm's team was a poke comp, landing a Q with rylais means 2 ults from kog.
Notice the cdr boots from lustboy? all based on Q poke.

He maxed Q last actually, so it wasn't for that. I think he maxed W first (for the damage spike, and later in teamfights he can activate it on everyone within his ult), then E (more resistances, lower cd so more mobility to avoid the bindings and stuff when he walked forward).

Actually I disagree a little bit. Ignite Corki can't be down that much CS against a tear-rushing Kogmaw in the midgame and expect to win.

You shouldn't be allowed to play AP Kog Maw... I don't think you understood my point. I said "sure it was a last pick, but its a last pick you don't even practice against competent players>"

This isn't true at all.

But sure go tell people like Faker that they don't practice AP Kog against "competant players"

Still if you go even in lane with Corki vs Kog then you simply lost. Or at the very least you lost pick/ban hard.

Luden's has given AP kog a small early buff so idk how valid your analysis is. Certainly, pre-luden's this was the case. I feel like C9 had the ability to win that game if they didn't fumble after securing the baron.
