Pob doesn't have such a gimped champ pool though. Huhi's mindset works because he goes balls deep and that creates space but its a double edged sword with his sometimes shitty decision making in the fights. Pob is a lot more consistent with a much larger pool of champs, he can actually play Azir and not whiff 8/10 ults lol. Pob doesn't have the intense pressure style though.

CLG made 3 mistakes this game, one which snowballed into the next, which let SKT get back in the game.

1. No wards in SKT's jungle. Huhi, Darshan, and Aphro couldn't get into SKT's jungle and ward up the jungle, river, or river entrances the moment they lost their mid turret. This lets SKT rotate and collapse on the CLG members and not escape or notice the collapse in time.

2. Not enough pressure in mid. SKT can do these rotations because Azir's sitting mid and stopping the push from Stixxay, Xmithie, and Aphro (assuming that Aphro wasn't trying to ward their flanks).

3. Feeling the pressure and cracking under it. After a couple of these kills of SKT collapsing onto the split pushers of CLG, they feel like they've lost the gold lead and feel forced into doing picks and dives, which is what SKT's team comp wants CLG to do because Azir wall, Nami bubble/wave, Trundle pillar, Blank's cocoon, and Ban's Ezreal Iceborn Gauntlet slow field means the moment CLG tries to dive/engage they can NEVER escape unless CLG aces SKT.

CLG should try to swap Soraka for Sona.

Darshan's engages aren't the worst but Aphromoo felt like the better playmaker.

Huhi needs to beg SKT for an easy engage champion like Ryze.

CLG should drop the Sivir ban for Azir. I'd rather have Faker on something like LB or Lissandra than to give him Azir for a third game, when we see him do so well with it when he doesn't get gangbanged by Darshan into a wall and raped by a yordle with a huge hammer.

Edit:

Also, if CLG pull a C9 and reverse sweep SKT now, I think both reddit and inven will explode.

Yeah, this Azir/Ez/Nami combo is way too strong against 2 melees with hard to land engage and a soraka

SKT is so impressive with their adaptations. Duke literally just got his ass handed to him 24 hours ago by Trundle and he picks it up immediately. Wolf has played an assortment of ranged support champions he hasn't played in years, and Faker literally plays like 3 heroes that nobody else in the world plays.

They might as well get Darshan a winning match up and set him up to be ahead so they can have some answer for Duke.

... I'm not actually 100% sure. I think Kkoma's background is from SC: BW.

Why the continuing Sivir ban and the Soraka.

He used to be SC2 terran player, then moved on to coaching. He was decent


Honestly, this series so far has shown the problem with Huhi and Stixxxay in CLG. Both have positioning mistakes that have cost CLG very important team fights.

Ok, CLG showing they still have their balls. Though I think Faker's about to castrate Huhi.

Surprised no Trundle pick. Used to be SKT's auto-answer to Maokai.

Ignoring the team skill, I think CLG's draft is so much better
