Difference between a good team and a great team is teamwork and map control more than any individual players skill.
Whoever was making calls totally screwed it up at that last fight. All they needed to do was engage and it would've been a guaranteed victory. Instead they played passive, got engaged on, and lost the fight and subsequently the game. If I was Chaox I would be raging. That was completely the team's bad.
That was a hard throw.

TSM never got to press their team fight advantage really. Lost too many towers/inhibs all for a negligible Baron kill.
Pretty much. They were too aggressive early when they couldn't which lost them too much ground and then too passive when they shouldn't have been. Chaox getting caught out of position at the end kind of cost them things though.
I think the bigger surprise were all the Baron attempts that let the minions push up. A lot of smart objective trades that game in general though. It also helped that TF lost a bit early and lost some of his global edge.
Reginald isn't a very good TF player anyways.

In my experience Jungler is like the fifth wheel. Blamed for everything bad that happens.
Imagine playing as the random in a 4 man premade. That's what playing a Jungler is like.
When people start raging I just ignore them and do whatever I want.

TSM just too weak.

i love you gaf
I take exception to that.
This is true. Whenever I get upset (it's usually at myself), I just recuse myself from the community for a while. It's not worth it getting mad at you guys, I usually like playing with you.

So after listening to the Blaze conversation of the game I can easily say that if this is how all Koreans play, Season 2 will be completely lopsided. Their coordination compared to TSM is unparalleled. Essentially one person makes calls and there's no backtalking. Every 5-10 seconds there are mentions of timers for their champs and others. They constantly talk where the others are and what they're doing. This is standard stuff but the way Blaze did it was sooo refined. Minimalistic, very informational, militaristic and hierarchical. It's so absurdly scary.
Koreans have one of the best foods I've ever tasted. Though... I'm a bit biased.

I love winning games I shouldn't bother winning.

Scallion pancakes.
They're getting outplayed left and right, really. Honestly, Reginald needs to step his game up.
Korean hive mind.
Seriously though, yeah, the teamwork is impressive. So organized and meticulous. Great calls and great knowledge of what their champs can do but also what their teammates can do at any given time.
That's true. Reginald stands out since he's died early a lot and his TF/Cass didn't do as much as they could. Dyrus honestly seems to be around for Yorick ult.
Helios just being everywhere. That Jungle presence.
3 Games, regardless of record. Grand Finals will be the two teams with the best records out of 9 matches.
No, they just play all three games for results.

Round robin. play all three to prevent tiebreakers.
The mechanics on these Korean players are unbelievable.
Ambition nailed every single one of his hemoplagues.
It's always been the meta in Korea. This is just the first time TSM has actually encountered it.

Look like all that I got out of this is that I need to beat opiate's winrate on Dominion.
Time to stop experimenting for a while then.

I actually have a slightly better Win% than him (61%). Hooray!
Looking at my record, I think a lot of those losses were in that recent pre-made loss streak we had for awhile. Dang, that means I had a 75% or so win rate for a bit.
Never 5 manning again!

How do you check winrate?
No turrets at all for TSM that last game. I'm glad they didn't just surrender though.
It was interesting watching them play. I kind of want to try to get an early turret kill like they did, but that seems to require a ton of team coordination afterwards to not lose the advantage.

Dyrus used Vlad for the first game, if I recall correctly. It didn't work out that well for him.
*edit* Side note, remember when people used to use CV on supports? Or CV people spawning? Like, NO ONE uses CV anymore.

Well, as I recall, they nerfed CV pretty hard. I think it's just now everyone's responsibility to ward more.
I remember following a Skarner around a jungle with CV once. I managed to spot him nearly every time. He said "Hi" in cross-chat every time. Said I was stalking him. Pretty good times.
That used to drive me nuts with good supports. I remember being against a Zilean or something who would pinpoint my location in the jungle, even like in between camps.
Also, I just got my 500th win (appropriately, going 6/0 with katarina against a bad team). But, the win thing is still gold. Is platinum 1000 wins?

So... Runes suck. That is all.
Luv it :3 (the pic, not the name)
Zyra was already super slow -- 389 movement speed with shoes I think. Does this make her the slowest AP mid in the game? I was commenting on whether it was possible to dodge a centered Cho Q, and I suspect with this change it is not.
Where did those notes come from, the PBE?
