Nah, they picked Kayle before Syndra. It might have been a pre-emptive counter against Syndra/Zed, but I am unsure of the rumble/kayle interaction. Perhaps Kayle has decent laning against rumble.

It seems like a jack of all trades comp. Kayle can handle Rumble, keep the team healed, protect the hypercarry and still scale pretty hard. Same goes for the rest of their picks
Missed draft so can't say if Lulu and Zilean were banned though
yeah but rumble and syndra (and lucy!) damage pressure is gonna push ppl out of turrets
i mean well it's like always, poke comps only works when you're not losing
lulu, nidalee and irelia were open
don't think much more was up for top lane
zilean was banned
We'll have to see what happens. I think Alliance has the stronger team if it goes late game. They have to survive the mid game first, though.
C9 has succeeded with the "push them out of the turret" so far.

Shook please close that Mobafire tab you're getting that build from

It's an EU team, why would you expect otherwise?

EU is trash.
Not much.
This first round of playoffs has convinced me that China may be better than NA/EU, but really it's Korea that stands head and shoulders above everyone else. It's less like Korea>China>>>>>EU/US, and more like Korea >>>>>> China>EU/US, based on these games.
yup that is accurate
also i think the gap between korea and china has widened this season and the gap between china and eu/na has shrunk

Legend says Shook is still trying to complete his first item

With Kabum around, that was never going to happen

bound to happen since NA acquires talents from other regions.
C9 is all NA. Their success is success of NA.

yeah but we're talking about the region and they import better talent which in turn makes the other teams better.

That's gotta be sarcasm
Either that or Monte was watching the LMQ or SSB rebroadcast or something
Called it before the split ended...but who wouldve guessed!
His bugs got cleaned up a few patches back.

I am SO sad I am not on the desk for this game. I have a ton to say about the rotations.
Really interesting game.
no sarcasm, monte is just a sad boring human being lol

yea i already see a damage nerf coming for 4.18
I still wouldnt call him a great soloq pick since its tough to farm (even if youre good you will be down cs) and he relies on teamplay around objectives.
Im excited for this lmq vs fnatic game and hoping for a bloodbath.... and people to use tp effectively.

Thought Fnatic was going for a double shield comp and LMQ was going to just let them have Ori, fucking fuck

Rumble is very bad against pure tanks (all the time), highly mobile opponents, and heavy ranged dps in the super-late game. Competitive teams don't run pure tanks (other than Mundo), don't run as many highly mobile champions since they've all been nerfed so much (other than Zed - Yasuo and Ahri are more vulnerable to Rumble but still good against him) and don't tend to get beyond 3-4 items since the game is played so efficiently. His laning is pretty average too. I doubt he will be nerfed.

Fnatic has basically one of if not the best adcs in the world, he's 70 CS ahead of Vasili, playing a hypercarry in a team with Lulu in it, and he's splitpushing
Whoever is making these calls is a fucking idiot

NoName building Locket against the double AP comp? I never knew that would help, I'm legit shook
What? Trist (or any adc for that matter) absolutely needs their lifesteal item to be able to withstand a rumble ult
Fnatic just played too risky and got picked defending their Towers while waiting for trist to turn on.
Anyway, super stoked for lmq. The management drama really sucked for them.
But I really like Fnatic
And 0 eu in quarters just sounds a bit sad really.

What a godawful match from Fnatic
If Rekkles was actually teamfighting instead of split pushing for 15 minutes they could have actually won. Instead they decide to just stall while LMQ takes everything they want, so bad

Doubt it. Also, Xerath/Trist comp, get fkd.
