EPTEdit:
CLG's bans were absolutely garbage. I'd rather it they banned Azir than Ryze.

Ban Azir and Ali, then how do RNG engage onto them, assuming the top champs are swapped and it's Darshan on Poppy and RNG's top later on Maokai.

I think they're better off banning Maokai and playing the Poppy/Ekko trade I know NA, EU, and LCK was played on 6.6, I think LPL, LMS, and IWCI was 6.6 too. So they should've known that Maokai > Poppy. | ||

Getting the inhib and taking dragon 1 was the right call. CLG played it sloppily, as did RNG. Both teams were messy in their engages, target selection, etc. But when CLG is drafting for a team comp that is looking to kite back and control the fight with Cait traps, Sol suns, Maokai humping an enemy carry, and Graves looking to dash around with smoke grenade fields, letting the enemy team have a guaranteed hard engage with Ali and sustained damage in Azir is giving up win% points to a team that knows how to use those champions really well. | ||

If huhi didn't dive 2 towers at 12 minutes, and Stixxay wasnt 300 range from the tower at bottom after first baron then CLG probably just won that fairly cleanly right after second Baron. Those two throws alone gave RNG a solid 3k gold both times, and denied CLG of the tower gold both times. They basically swung the game 10k gold in the favour of RNG with those mistakes. Not sure if nerves or what. They basically threw real hard a few times with dinky micro decision making. Then the end, Darshan tree suicided at 40 minutes like lots of trees do. It's easy to forget that suddenly you aren't unkillable after being unkillable for 40 minutes. | ||
