teams should probably be banning Rumble against Dyrus.

 

[zkylon]

k royal played this really smart

such a good game

 

[Leezard]

One baron and the game is even again.

One baron and the game is even again.

I dunno about even. Even with Baron, they really can't fight during Rumble's mid-game power spike unless he wastes his ult or they get a pick on him. By the time he starts to taper off, Orianna and Tristana are probably going to be too much for them to handle.

They probably needed either Kha'Zix or Fizz to start snowballing in lane phase to ever be able to win fair fights, it's all picks if they want to win from here on out.

 

[Leezard]

The shockwave + equalizer. Daaaamn.

It is even in terms of gold, which is great for a late game focused team. Now they got baited into a fight in the jungle and TSM is ahead again, but they certainly had the chance when they got the baron + towers. You are right in that TSM was still stronger, but for a late game focused team being even in gold is great.

 

[zkylon]

tsm set that up really well even tho lustboy messed up pathing

dyrus is a beast

 

[Q8D3vil]

fizz pick vs orianna seems bad, tried to roam ( he cant seem to be able to farm anyway) and lost shitton of cs.

 

[bokn]

Did the monsoon Fuck over Fizz ult? Or was that Fizz ult just real bad

 

[Makareu]

WTF TSM. Just stay away from baron.

edit : not that away ...

 

[zkylon]

yea i think even with the baron it was still gg with these comps

edit: lol everytime i say gg royal gets baron

 

[Leezard]

TSM sure likes to give away barons.

 

[bokn]

Dis game is amazing

 

[Imperfected]

Janna seems like a liability here. TSM doesn't have any significant dive to begin with, she pretty much has to get behind the entire team to Monsoon in a meaningful fashion.

I mean, you can shove Lee Sin away when he tries to InSec, I guess, but he shouldn't be doing that most of the time with these compositions, anyway. It's Janna's team that wants to get inside to begin with.

 

[zkylon]

janna is used a lot for mid-fight sustain tho

just fighting inside her ult

 

[bokn]

Janna is a liability if you keep using the monsoon to push people around randomly

 

[Macattk15]

TSM doing their best to throw this away.

 

[Imperfected]

I guess. TSM does have a lot of AoE. The problem is Kha and Fizz are too jumpy, she's not going to be able to ult both them and Cait together most of the time without putting herself in a position where she's going to get wrecked by Ori and Trist.

 

[bokn]

Cmon tsm U need to win this to fulfil the prophecy

 

[Makareu]

GG TSM, the rematch at the end of the day will be awesome.

 

[sleepykyo]

TSM seems to be doing really well on these rematches.

 

[bokn]

Dang

 

[Macattk15]

Damn. TSM looked real good. Minus the baron throws.

 

[Cuddler]

Congrats TSM, pretty good game, some errors here and there for SHRC, I'm sure they will do better in the last two games.

 

[23qwerty]

Damn. TSM looked real good. Minus the baron throws.

they didnt have any baron throws though

 

[cHinzo]

Everyone will expect a rematch of Royal Club vs TSM when suddenly, bam, SK goes on a rampage and get their second win today. 8)

 

[Macattk15]

they didnt have any baron throws though

Ok. The misplays that allowed SHRC to freely take barons.

 

[clemenx]

I think they should've finished earlier but they played very well. Maybe they were just waiting for Tristana to happen.

Dyrus' Equalizers were a thing of beauty.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

Tee Shirt Mann
Dem bubbles, making kha useless, the Bjerg King Bar making them pay for the fizz and lastly Turtle was positioned adequately that game

 

[Wolf Akela]

Lustboy was real good on Nami.

Bad TSM call during first (or 2nd?) Baron. SHRC went for Baron. WildTurtle should have just destroyed the tower instead of running all the way to contest baron.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

International TSM chants, now will they appear in anime like Hotshot was

 

[Bungie's]

Rumble bans incoming.

 

[nephilimdj]

trist is so op, its depressing

I wonder if SK can actually win?

it was a tricky call, i think that was really hard to make

second baron tho was a pretty big dig mistake

trist is so op, its depressing

it was a really good game and dyrus was a monster, don't pin this win on trist

 

[clemenx]

I love complaining about Trist but It really was Dyrus' perfect ultimates plus great Shockwaves on every teamfight that carried this game. Turtle just was on cleanup duty almost always.

Which is good for them, that way Turtle isn't needed to go in and won't do stupid shit.

it was a really good game and dyrus was a monster, don't pin this win on trist

No not just this match, shes been one of the most popular picks for months now
She had like a 100% play/ban rate during the lcs relegations last few weeks

Just so tiring of seeing the champion.

 

[CRS]

But Trist literally won them the game.

THE TSM PROPHECY WILL BE FULFILLED

 

[Prototype Viktor]

it's not the perfect time of the day in the US but youtube has a respectable view count hovering 55-60k unlike last years 100-130k for afternoon US time game

 

[Kotetsu534]

To be fair, SHRC wouldn't have had to dive in to Ori and Rumble if TSM didn't have the much better AD carry. Though to TSM's credit, it's a known weakness of SHRC's drafting that they like to play dive comps so it was smart drafting from them to draft a comp that is extremely strong against them.

yea by now i think everyone agrees with "fuck trist"

not need to be reminded every single game :I

But Trist literally won them the game.

[Makareu]

I just realised that there has not be any technical issue with the tournament yet. And very few pause.

this isn't your fathers season 2 Riot

 

[Nekofrog]

again

it had nothing to do with trist at all

it had everything to do with dyrus hard carrying the team on rumble at all points in the game when trist was weak

it literally blows my mind people saying shit like this

 

[Prototype Viktor]

also it' nice of DP and AHQ to be able to not play some other region's meta with these picks. i sometimes miss Vi picks

also no SK can't win

 

[bokn]

Strong winds and rain going on in Taipei?

Must be all the Janna picks.

 

[Leezard]

Irelia is getting so fed

 

[sleepykyo]

Irelia is getting so fed

Can't hear you. Seems to be a feeding frenzy overseas.

 

[zkylon]

if ahq doesn't win this game soon riot shold fine them

 

[Nekofrog]

tristana is so op she's not even in this game and still winning it

rite guys
