Does prep really hard = trolling the draft phase and the OCE team's top laner and adc inting furiously?
For now, I see DW as a possible underdog, but they've been in this situation so often, I can't trust an OCE team. They pretty much have to beat SuperMassive on Sunday.
this is why you don't pick Nocturne. You don't get that first ult kill the games actually just over.
I mean, it went insanely bad instead of just not getting a kill, but you dont get that first kill every decent jungler will just out temp you so hard and the game snowballs on you out of control. The 92% KP Skarner.
God damn these teamfights are so short. People are exploding the second they get "caught" which half the time is being nicked by an AOE slow. Like, CC duration doesn't even really matter now in the midgame, its just a question of landing an incidental on the right target for .5 secs.
