EPTNA teams need to take a much closer look on how they execute their early/mid-game. At the moment it seems like there isn't really much of a game-plan and it's more about adapting to the enemy's play style than creating your own.

They don't try new things and generally improve during the off-season because they have no motivation at small events. Seems like grade-A bullshit/procrastination to me. The whole concept of cramming all your practice before an event rather than treating progaming as a regular full-year-round job is why NA teams suck. But they are treating it as a full-year-round job. Otherwise, why would they have a gaming house? Also, they put a halt on school or work for this, clearly it's more than just cramming the night before. | ||

I think generally NA teams need to have a different approach to their practice, because whatever they are doing is not working, and i dont know if they already know that or not | ||

No, they're treating playing solo queue and streaming as a full-year-round job, and cramming for tournaments. Not the same thing. | ||

Their problem is that they believe that solo queue plus lots of scrims before tournaments is appropriate practice. It isn't. Korean teams and Chinese teams are scrimming constantly between events not just a week or two before. | ||

 Doublelift ran Flash/Cleanse, which should be all he needs against Ahri charm and Sona ulti, considering he played Caitlyn (i.e. easier positioning, net escape) and he had Orianna shield and Shen ulti. What he needed instead of QSS in the midgame when CLG.eu weren't tanky enough to dive CLG.na, was a BV, not only for against Malphite ulti but also for the extra tankiness against CLG.eu's sole damage source. In the lategame, he needed GA to discourage CLG.eu from all-in diving him, or at least, make more use out of the shielding available to him and dilute CLG.eu's burst. It doesn't matter anyway though. HotshotGG lost the game for CLG.na and I don't think Doublelift could have carried him regardless of item choice. | ||

They don't have to cut streaming but I think unless you actually see these players getting serious about actually working as hard as they can by making all of their practice time focused and with purpose you'll see them fall further behind other countries as we've clearly seen already and in other games. Mechanics just don't matter as much anymore when you have Asian teams that work so well together. | ||

CLG.eu got an early advantage, then threw it with bad baron control giving CLG.na several free barons. Then they lost more and more inhibitors eventhough Froggen got fed more and more. At one point all 3 inhibitors were down but CLG.eu stalled and then won anyways after 65 minutes. | ||

I wouldn't call it a big throw though, CLG.eu had at all times a good advantage in teamfights but couldn't use that since they were busy giving away free barons and inhibitors for the first 55 minutes, forcing them to play defensive even after winning several teamfights 4 for 1. | ||
