Kafriel CLG EU VS W.E is tommorow

killer3000ad · 2012-10-05, 20:13

And there goes the last hope of Canada and US.

Azubu Frost 2-0 Team Solomid.
Tsm did well early game but Azubu Dominated Mid / Late game earning them the victory on the nexus.

Last Sinner · 2012-10-05, 20:20

TSM lost their games at champ selection. How the hell do Darius and Shyvana in Game 1 compliment Karthus or set him up for his AoE? Letting Woong get Ezreal in Game 2 was a catastrophic mistake. Frankly, I don't think TSM respected their opponents enough - their champ choices are just bewildering.

Loving the way Azubu Frost play. Hope to see them vs M5 in the grand final.

i lol'd at first game, darius vs jayce? Wasn't it TSM who decided to use jayce vs darius(westrice) to beat CRS? Repeat of regionals, am disappoint.

also anyone see dadrus(dyrus' dad), hes awesome.

Oh well, CLG EU please do well.

Kotohono · 2012-10-05, 20:50

Why did TSM let Azubu Frost take Ezreal game 2?

Did they not watch yesterday where they stomped every time with him?

Cream · 2012-10-05, 21:11

Ezreal and Jayce are really picks that seemed "necessary" during both regionals and worlds(so far).

Kreceir · 2012-10-05, 21:46

Ever since M5 used Eve.
I'm really wondering how Taipei Assassins or other Asian teams play Eve.
Since most Eve bans are towards to Asian teams.

Last Sinner · 2012-10-05, 21:54

Jayce is a decent pick, but Darien showed at Cologne that if you play properly, you can counter Jayce with Shen. And Shy and Manakoon have shown Irelia is a viable counter as well. However, I think it is implied you have to be darn good at both to pull it off.

I think TSM fell into the same mentality SK did - to play what they thought their opponents would want to pick rather than their strengths. However, I also get the feeling maybe the NA teams along with SK haven't appreciated that their own metas aren't so readily transferrable to this tournament, considering how differently the Asian teams are playing from them. Moscow 5 had to work fairly hard against Invictus but they seemed to relish it. Alex Ich admitted after the match that he loved versing Kid in that match, saying he was one ot the few AD carries he'd ever versed that he truly felt he knew how to play. They seem to have a good number of alternate team lineups compared to what they played in European regionals. Alex was playing a lot of Gragas and Ryze but then goes to Evelynn and Zilean. Darien did a lot of Yorick and Shen previously then went to Xin Zhao and Olaf. They're adapting and respecting the increased aggression of the Asian teams. CLG.Eu also seemed to do it to some extent.

I wonder whether exposure of the Asian teams via streaming or coverage will be greater from now on. One of the Taipei Assassins's advantages was having little recordings or stats on their games since they had an arrangement for their scrimmage matches to be ended without nexus kills or surrenders to avoid stats being logged. Also little coverage of them and the Chinese teams in terms of recording.

I thought that is the norm? I mean, All of practice matches between SAJ, SGS and TPA all finished without properly ending, so I thought all other teams must be doing that, too.

Witch of Uncertainty · 2012-10-06, 06:28

Wow, that was fun. Support Zyra, Mid Evelynn, and Lux mid again?
Just lovely!

Zakoo · 2012-10-06, 10:39

Unbelievable it's as if the community graduated from middle schooler to adult just with the apparition of the new way of congratulating somebody.

Kafriel · 2012-10-06, 15:44

WE totally dominating CLG EU, they've completely read their tactics and just pulling perfect counters to all their moves.

EDIT: Gotta hate Twitch TV...

EDIT2: There seem to be some technical issues, I think game 2 will be redone?

Cream · 2012-10-06, 17:12

This is looking so bad for CLG EU :[

I dunno WE ezreal is building very little damage.... he got an AEGIS, ninja tabi, and negatron.

Kafriel · 2012-10-06, 17:20

Yeah aegis on Ez is wtf...but Corki's dishing out peanuts on Vlad and the latter didn't even have a chainmail. I think WE are just being extra careful to keep their death count as low as possible, even on a nimble champion like Ezreal. The negatron->QSS is pretty standard versus all that CC, especially the impale/crescendo combo.

Cream · 2012-10-06, 17:37

Hes building like a tanky bruiser and its working out pretty decently.

CLG PLAYING SO WELL NOW.

These chants.

Kotohono · 2012-10-06, 17:38

yup that aegis not being GA on Ezreal lost them the team fight and inhibitor...

And he sold the build besides QSS and mercs losing their gold advantage completely, CLG has this.

Cream · 2012-10-06, 17:41

Oh god, why did nocturne get caught like that? Ouch.

Kafriel · 2012-10-06, 17:46

And twice, too...sealed that game. Froggen didn't even bother with requiem.

EDIT: Deman is hilarious when he runs out of patience xD

EDIT 2: Twitch TV bugging out, not during the half hour of passive roaming and painful poking, but the second the last teamfight finally kicks in. K gonna hit the bed now.
