Nah, I don't think that's it, obviously casting spells lowers his passive's CD but he:
1) could've thrown the W anywhere except right under him;
2) could've not activated the second W and just auto'ed while kiting away.

Panicking and mashing mindless buttons from a world class mid seems like the least likely scenario.

If you look at the play (https://www.twitch.tv/videos/582280082?t=5h44m06s), I think he used it to get some distance from Syndra but was unaware that the rest of the enemy team got the recall off so he just jumped to his death.

But if mic comms come out and he says something like "Not even close babyyyyy, let me style on these noobs", I'm gonna be disappointed.

I think he was trying to create space between himself and the opponents without realising they could also be coming from the base. Recalls half a second later and he'd have gotten another auto off.

Yeah, he was definitely trying to create space. If he didn't take the jump he would have gotten hit by the Syndra E stun. Unlucky angle.

This is what everyone expected to see yesterday. Minus the Zac top part.

Uh oh

This is the biggest 'Hyli giveth, Hyli taketh away' game I have seen in a while, trolling (no pun intended) and 'winning' in the same game is hilarious

Shouldn't doubt Fnatic, they were clearly the better team today

Hyli split push Trundle definitely one of the funniest things I've seen this split. FNC looked solid as expected, unlike G2.

Why did the loser of G2/Mad Lions got a higher position in the loser bracket than Fnatic/Origen one?

I think that's because G2, the team that finished first, lost. If they won, Mad lions would be in Origen's place.

Correct.

Also I'm pretty sure with this win Kalista/Taric keeps their 100% global win rate, or at least major region global win rate

It's still pretty punishing for OG, they came 3rd in the split but now have to slog through 3 series to possibly reach finals, and they have to beat G2. MAD came 4th and their surprise upset win means they have a straight shot at finals, although if they beat both G2 and FNC then they obviously deserve it.

Having G2 in the Loser's bracket means we're likely to get G2 vs FNC in the finals anyway, they just swapped around the path they usually follow.

You probably right, but both Fnatic and G2 (especially G2) looked quite shaky and vulnerable in their series, so I wont be surprised if one of them is not at the grand final.

RGE struggled this season, but I still expected them to take this series because of the potential of their lineup. Totally not because I have a hate boner for Febi
