I want to say CLG win 3-1, but again, this is Counter Logic Gaming we're talking about. I can totally see them coughing up the series to the Flash Wolves and crashing harder than OMG last year at Worlds.

At this point it doesn't matter. Nobody expected them to make top 4, so the fact that they're even playing today means they're on house money.

Not entirely sure why CLG favored Kalista over Caitlyn, I feel like Cait + Bard is so much stronger both in and out of lane than Kalista + Bard into the Sivir + Soraka of FW.

I believe it's due to the presence of Soraka. She can really grind down a fight by stuffing single target aggression, yet when you pop that rend and get all that juicy damage to everybody all she can do is press R and hope that's enough.

Hotshot tweeted that Soraka has one huge weakness that other teams might not know about. I wonder if CLG have some secret strat planned here

Yeah, it's something that's popped up a couple times already this tournament. With the advent of the Sightstone/support item comine and the nerfs to Locket aura, supports tend to be picking it up more than in the past, which opens the jungler to switch to Banner.

Krepo, they used the Sivir ult to kite back from the Bard ulti. I also agree with the Banner pick up from FW, it's just too late I think.

Darshan is just huge. Just ran down person after person in that last fight.

I swear, that seemed pretty solid play overall from CLG. Maybe a bit too passive, but they played the team comp quite well.

Edit:

And can the Riot casters at least pretend to be impartial and not trying to give fellatio to NA from the box seats?

So... Did the China casters just grab a random pro from the audience, stuck a pole up their ass and propped them up on stage just now? That WE player looked more like a robot than a nerd while the analyst desk was talking.

Edit:

Spawn, we shit on Xmithie for years because it took nearly 3 years' worth of international play AND for ADC junglers to exist for him to finally show up.

One thing I saw in that game that was real cute, was Xmithie twice purposely forcing Elise to smite steal Blue from Azir. That was cute as fuck, and won Huhi mid.

Xmithie played real well that game.
