SKT bans : kalista gragas ryze
Patch 5.12
Fairly standard red side bans for SKT.On Ge's side we wonder about the mundo ban.it could've been a throwaway ban.If not, Ge maybe had in mind a double ap comp.The dont want to deal with a rumble, which is rather surprising given that Smeb was the first player to heavy counter tne weak laning phase of rumble.Ezreal is an extremely power pick on this patch.
Now to the picks.I strongly believe first picking corki on GE is a huge mistake.Now on this patch there are 2 huge priority junglers :Gragas and reksai.Not to mention BEngi best champion since the famous CE games is reksai
Skt very predictable grabbing rek'sai and Viktor (Bengi's best champion and Viktor is a takeway from Kuro while still being a safe pick given the GE;s midlaner tendency of not playing assasins)
Ge grabs Janna and maokai going for a 5v5 teamfight composition.\
Now SKT has an important decision in their composition:either play a 5v5 teamfight also or try to split them up: a little bit of both was the final decision: fizz and kogmaw ( also a rather soft counter to Corki laning phase).I do believe a lucian or an earlier game ad carry wouldve fit better with the snowball fizz comp right here.
Ge sticks to their plan of teamfight comp by picking cassio and the 4'th junlger priority right now (being gragas reksai heavy t1 and nida)
and the draft is finalised with an all around good alistar pick for Wolf
Surprises:The Fp corki which i believe it;s really bad.Nautilus being ignored.
Team comps:GE :Maokai Eve Cassio Corki Janna
SKT: Fizz Reksai viktor kogmaw alistar
Win conditions: Ge : 5v5 teamfight, avoid fizz snowball
SKT :get fizz ahead and have standard lanes
GE wants to lane swap both the 1v1 and the duo lane.
