Semifinal 1: M5 vs Fnatic

Game 1 Bans & Picks, M5 1st ban/pick

M5 bans Alistar / Maokai / Nunu
Fnatic bans Gragas / Yorick / Ahri
M5 Picks Shen / Sona Lee Sin / Ezreal Ryze
Fnatic Picks Nocturne Corki / Leona Jayce / Anivia

I figure I'm staying up (yay insomnia!) so I may as well do stuff like this.

Maokai ban? I thought that is not one of Diamondprox's favored champions.

Awww, Alex Ich teasing with Karma selected :/

Looking forward to seeing how Soaz's Jayce does toplane against Darien's Shen, and whether Diamond's Lee will camp him.

M5 has banned Mao/Noc/Ali for the first games they played. This game they switched Noc for Nunu.

Did something recently happen with M5 that makes people not want to cheer for them?

Fnatic try an early red invade, they catch genja with anivia stun but he manages to flash out over. golem wall. They then proceed to get fb on diamond when he starts there anyway.

great lvl 1 play by fnatic but great countergank by alex ich on botlane, and genja really went balls deep waiting for the very last moment to use heal.

Soaz beats darien in a 1v1 top but darien manages to dash away. Soaz then uses Jayce's q to stop him from basing.

9:30

Soaz catches a half hp diamondprox proceeds to use flash and ignite to pick up red buff and the kill.

nRated being two levels below Sona and not having her ult really stopped Fnatic from getting that dragon :/

Darien's farming v.well top, keeping up with Jayce despite suffering a lot of harrass, being shoved to his tower, or having your lane opponent have a red buff.
