Mundo and Lulu solo lanes is running mighty low on damage. Don't like it much.

Insec or Uzi has to snowball for them.

Giving up first dragon with OMG's composition is a pretty bill to swallow. I'm feeling a Super Hot Royal Crew win for this one, Uzi's a better player on a better carry, and if this goes late enough Rumble does plateau quite a bit.
Different regions? Still feels like both the Chinese and Korean teams have favored mid game comps while NA and EU were just switching over to mid game team fight from split pushes and hypercarries.
edit: Seeing Mundo get a giant growth is amazing. Purple King Kong chucking briefcases.
They play him mid instead of top, he can handle the current popular mids well and get decent farm.

To be honest, it's less that InSec has to build full damage on Kha'Zix and more that he's probably going to stubbornly do it anyway, so they may as well try to build their comp around it.
We're talking about a guy who used to play jungle Zed and Yasuo, here.

I suppose one way of killing the enemy team when you're struggling for damage is to let Baron do a few thousand points first. I think OMG were wrong to stop sieging start trying to do baron.
Uzi getting lifesteal has changed the game big time.

OMG had it, then they lost it, then they got it back, then they threw it again. What a game. And extremely well played by Royal to keep their heads while getting tooled around for 20 minutes.

The Chinese region is so entertaining to watch. It's like a group of really mechanically skilled players making really dumb decisions. Pretty much like solo queue except they're super good. I'd almost make the analogy that the Chinese teams play like super gifted 10 year olds while the NA teams play like slow but cunning 50 year olds and then the Koreans are in their 20s. China is just so chaotic.
Would like to see OMG stretch this to 5 games. Their last two pick/bans have actually been really strong, it's just been a matter of them misplaying their teams once they've gotten a lead. First game they go for teamfight and snowball Gogoing so they win the game, second game they go for poke, become really strong, and then teamfight instead of poking and lose, this game they pick split push, out rotate SHRC to get a lead, and then again they teamfight instead of keeping with their strategy and lose the game.

Anyone else feel like OMG pretty much out played in all 3 games yet due to a few stupid ass mistake is losing 1-2? How the fuck do you recover from that? I'm be shock if they don't tilt and get stomp this 4th game.

This series is basically the series of "Will OMG throw"?
yeah, basically
omg looks like a complete team with cloud
both teams are pretty gimmicky tho, they'll get destroyed by white
solo laners from royal need a lot of work and omg isn't good at finishing

Yep both team would be lucky as fuck to get 1 win off White.

They weren't complete stomps though
TSM could have taken off at least 2 games off White if Amazing wasn't retarded. C9 played mostly solidly, but lost in the end anyways.
Blue got completely sweeped no re
The game that TSM did win seemed like White was getting increasingly cocky though. Like they went Mundo, Trist and Kass and they got into a team fight at level 1. Each game SSW kept going more toward late game comps until it finally caught up with them in game 3.
edit: Hm. Didn't see Panth coming.

Ok I did not expect that
i really wish i wasn't awake for like 30 hours straight and was able to form words to intelligently debate this
completely or not they were stomps. both tsm and c9 were forced to go with cute rotation tactics to just avoid fighting the samsungs or they'd get wrekked. and both samsung teams were keeping picks and playing pretty cocky
you can tell the white that played against blue and the white that played against tsm was prettydifferent
anyways pantheon
this series delivered at least

C9 wins over blue were pretty legit imo. They played it smart. TSM win over white was pretty lulz. White went with a screw around no wave clear, late game comp just because they could.
