EPT[IEM] Kiev Discussion - Page 211
| Forum Index > LoL Tournaments |
At any point of IEM Kiev, if you think of an interesting byline, please drop a sentence in the Pro Scene thread. (e.g. "Day 2: M5 hype was everything people expected") At the end of the month, I'll catalogue the results of Kiev but also any interesting facts or events that happen over the course of the tournament. Thanks. Neo, 20.1.2012 | ||

Darien bullied every single top in this tournament and that turned into jungle losing which turned into mid then bottom losing (if those lanes weren't already losing). Darien was 2x oddone's level in game three because he'd push top then go steal jungle. I really have no clue why irelia was chosen. I like TSM as a team and was rooting for them even though I dislike a few of their personalities, but this tournament just shows that they need a better top player and a less passive (personality) jungler. Dyrus + saint And just wow at diamond getting mvp over darien lol. | ||

Like others have said, what are you gonna do as irelia vs. shyvana? It was a bad pick, but unless TRM insisted 100% and didn't listen to his team, then it's not his fault. | ||

No. Just LoL. 180+k on Main Stream alone. Then there's the French and Russian Streams. On January 23 2012 01:13 kidd wrote: And just wow at diamond getting mvp over darien lol. Same reason AD Carries look flashy, but it's really the Support who makes the plays and actually wins the game. | ||

They should be bros about it, though. Won't help the team if they start picking on each other now. Great overall performance, heavy derping in game 3, lost you a tournament. To be fair, M5 were flat out the best team this tournament, so I think it's perfectly fine to lose against them at this point, even with their prior trashtalking and shit. | ||

Secondly, I didn't really ever see AD kennen actually destroy anyone. It seemed like he was just picked for lane control, but this is probably due to M5 dominating everywhere else without kennen. | ||

Or are they another buch of guys who make their breaktrough to professional gaming in LoL? M5 is an organisation that has roots in DotA and CounterStrike. But the LoL team they picked up is pretty fresh. | ||

They would always mess up during late rounds of tournaments. Finally, they restructured their team and picked up 2 different guys and started stomping everyone | ||

TSM NEEDS to band together and aim to improve from here. 2nd place at Kiev, fine. Hannover is where it's at now. 2. I don't care what you guys are trying to justify here. Irelia pick may have been a joint TSM decision but Rain Man needed to speak the fuck up. "I can't Irelia vs Shyvana bros" should have been the first sentence out of his mouth when Irelia was suggested. No team is going to force a player onto a champion if that player has qualms about the pick. It is Rain Man's responsbility to veto bad lane matchups. It's his lane ffs, why let your team force your playstyle? | ||
