What i've learnt:

Morde beats tanky teams. Janna and Alistar can work wonders if you have good communication.

Thanks. I think I have some problems with the office connection where I'm in

 

[bjaelke]

I wanted that Nautilus support just to prove my point from yesterday.

 

[Ferga]

What happen to CLG? Aren't they suppose to play right now

 

[Sardello]

What happen to CLG? Aren't they suppose to play right now

They lost.

 

[Boken]

Wow, Fnatic really are stronger at Lan

I'm also loving their team comp

 

[Ferga]

scarra.... just cass ulted air..........

The chat is hilarious

2nd dragon fight:

Dignitas giving the world a lesson on how to team fight properly

 

[Ferga]

WOW fnatic!

Holy shit, that fail smite by Dignitas

 

[bjaelke]

Unbelievable comeback in the makings.

 

[Ferga]

Wow Fnatic's baron was brilliant. Using TF to get top and distract Dignitas.

One of the best games i've ever seen. Fnatic might have disappeared for a while but they still got it! That first baron steal let them snow ball even though they were 3000gold behind for over 10minutes. Then they stole the third baron.

God damn.

Moral of the story: Time your smite y'all!

And scarra did not look happy after losing that

 

[LonelyIsland]

DAT BARON STEAL x2.

lol

 

[Feature]

Awesome game that. Hopefully just one of the many this tourney.

 

[bjaelke]

What happen to CLG? Aren't they suppose to play right now

They won their second game.

 

[Ferga]

They won their second game.

Yeah i read about it. They won with a 20k gold lead.

 

[LonelyIsland]

My first team ranked.

I wish I was in more team rank games, it's fun supporting really good teams/comps.

 

[Boken]

Time to see the Shen.

Funny that Janna is now 100% pick and Sona nowhere to be seen.

 

[dimb]

Little surprised to see so much Nautilus, but he's a great champion, so I guess it makes sense.

Funny that Janna is now 100% pick and Sona nowhere to be seen.

It's a beautiful thing.

 

[Boken]

Naut's ult is pretty damn scary.

I am NOT a fan of the Galio pick. Urgh

 

[bjaelke]

Wukong and Orianna. My two favorite champions on the same team. Hope Fnatic will take this one just because of that.

 

[dimb]

I think Phreak has the shakes or something.

 

[Boken]

All I see is shen shitting on wukong.

 

[Inskipp]

Shen is a natural counter to any melee that doesn't have a shield, sustain or a long-range poke.

I can see what Fnatic is going for with Wukong but I don't think the risk was worth it.

I guess you haven't seen Shyvanna shit on Shen =p

 

[Inskipp]

I guess you haven't seen Shyvanna shit on Shen =p

I would like to see a replay of such an event.

 

[bjaelke]

Stream's lagging a lot right now.

 

[dimb]

All I see is shen shitting on wukong.

Terrible pick really.

 

[Ferga]

God damnit. I really wanted Fnatic to work the wukong/orianna ult combo. Why didn't they ban shen!!

 

[Boken]

85k viewers on stream, 7 viewers on gaf.

 

[Feature]

Told you, shen not banned = shen picked. He's still OP as hell.

 

[Inskipp]

Phreak sure sounded unenthusiastic after that ace.

 

[dimb]

Told you, shen not banned = shen picked. He's still OP as hell.

When you run an AD counter top like Wukong I guess he might be OP. Would have been fine if they picked Nasus or Vlad or something.

 

[Wolf Akela]

Is there a record of the CLG match?

 

[VALKYRAY]

shen op

 

[Ferga]

that was terrible

Fnatic didn't get outplayed, they just got stomped by shen

Look under the stream.

 

[dimb]

They lost every lane, had next to no ganks or map control and you want to say they didn't get outplayed? aAa had mid, top and jungle go on free farm mode, and their bot lane was out CSing Graves even with the ganks on that lane.

 

[Ferga]

Shen winning top let shyv have control over the enemy blue all game.

Sure, bot got outfarmed but by having blue control, galio instantly won mid by having a lot more sustain than orianna. Naut got underleveled by losing jungle control and it didn't allow him to gank at all. An early oracle on shyvana pretty much secured every single buff on the map due to shen's presence. There was a point where shyv took red right in front of naut and graves. They were just too scared to even try to steal it because shen's ult was off cd.

Whenever bot got into a fight, shen would ult, towerdive and AAA would come out with 2 free kills and a dragon.

 

[dimb]

I don't think there's any good excuse for not holding your blue that early in the game. They should have been more meticulous with the timing on it when they know they're at that disadvantage with top losing and the enemy running an invader like Shyvana.

Sure, bot got outfarmed but by having blue control, galio instantly won mid by having a lot more sustain than orianna. Naut got underleveled by losing jungle control and it didn't allow him to gank at all.

But he wasn't getting early ganks either. It was a huge mistake to ignore top and mid. That's partly why they got so much free farm was because of how there was zero pressure on them from the start.

They shouldn't be free kills though. Top should be able to punish the absence of Shen and grab a tower or buff in the enemy jungle. If you can leave your lane to warp across the map and don't have to worry about it there is obviously a serious problem that the enemy team is facing. Bot lane also shouldn't just be giving up kills like that. It's not that hard to see Shen coming in and get out, or to down the target before he ults in. They weren't playing on the same level as the other team. It's not because Shen is OP it's because they couldn't react. They didn't react to the other team's picks, and they didn't react to what the other team was doing in the game. They tried to just play their own game in every position and they got stomped by a group working together as a team.

 

[Blizzard]

Vayne <3

What champions are really mobile like she is {I kno Yi is one)? Now I own Vayne, Leblanc, and Ryze (my first).

You might try Sivir (especially since if I recall correctly she is super cheap). In addition to normal laning stuff, she can run around or carry teleport, and backdoor turrets.

 

[red13th]

They still haven't added replays?
Rooting for CLG because of SaintVicious and Curse because of Elementz.

 

[Inskipp]

They still haven't added replays?

After 2 years it boggles the mind.

 

[bjaelke]

Best interview ever

 

[Kyuur]

No ban on Shen again. We'll see if he dominates again I guess!

 

[Boken]

Sorry, I don't think you get counter jungling at all... it has nothing to do with meticulous timing. Everybody can time the first blue - 7:58. Ok. The problem is the lanes. If wukong is losing, he is at tower and will be slower to reach the blue. Top, jungler, mid can go secure the blue and FN can't contest it

But he wasn't getting early ganks either. It was a huge mistake to ignore top and mid. That's partly why they got so much free farm was because of how there was zero pressure on them from the start.

what, gank a shen? what, gank a shen when your laner is already seriously behind? ok.

They shouldn't be free kills though. Top should be able to punish the absence of Shen and grab a tower or buff in the enemy jungle. If you can leave your lane to warp across the map and don't have to worry about it there is obviously a serious problem that the enemy team is facing.

I dont agree that they are free kills either. But if you cannot see the global pressure a shen who is dominating top puts on the map I'm not sure what to tell you. Wukong COULDNT respond by taking the tower or buffs, he was under the tower for almost all of laning phase. See shen coming and get out? They already used their stuff to commit to the fight. Down the target before he ults in? The shield is big and it is instant. Just don't fight the opponent? Passive play means you have already lost. Not withstanding that the opponent can go aggressive with shen to back them up

.

Don't worry guys. I've seen HSGG play Shen and it's not amazing.
EDIT: CLG just trolled us. HSGG doesn't play a hot udyr either though. D:

 

[bjaelke]

No ban on Shen again. We'll see if he dominates again I guess!

They probably figured they could counter him with Yorick.

Edit: Oh my it's jungle Shen.

 

[Inskipp]

Phoenix- stance in lane? That doesn't seem promising.

 

[Boken]

Phoenix lane udyr isn't uncommon. Yorick is actually a rather weak wave clearer - phoenix can put pressure on him while AOEing ghouls.
