Well...IEM Cologne definitely threw up some suprises. CLG.eu didn't even make out of the group stages thanks to Meet Your Makers and CJ Entus. Fnatic crushed group stage but barely got past CJ Entus in the semis then lost to SK Telecom in the finals.
Was rather impressed with SK Telecom. Was stoked to see UandMe utterly destroy people on Miss Fortune all tournament then force Miss Fortune bans in games 2 and 3 of the grand finals. MF ban! XD Also loved their Amumu/Zyra/MF combo, which was still damn strong with just Amumu and Zyra. Although, this means that there's two more Korean teams that will be around in Season 3. Like...how many are there now that will be around at that level? Azubu Blaze, Azubu Frost, Najin Sword, Najin Shield, SK Telecom and CJ Entus? Was also interesting to hear Curse.eu split after IPL 5 and some of them went to form Millenium. But things panned out for them like they usually did for Curse.eu...so far. It looks like Vi is coming out in the next 24 hours. Champion Spotlight got released 2 hours ago. Mmm, I really want the extra skin too. Think it's the first time on a new champion I want that extra skin at launch. Jungle viability makes this a must get for me.

Hmmm, I got something unexpected in my account overnight and an email from Riot giving me 910RP. Apparently something about a legendary skin I once bought at full price is one of five about to be temporarily re-released at a lower price and their policy is to refund points to people who bought it at the original price?
Definitely won't turn it down, that covers the cost of Slay Belle Katarina combined with what I had left. ^^ Edit: They're not temporarily bringing back just 5...It's 42...

Oh wow, I have muted any music in lol since I started playing. Is this the first time they put so much effort in login screen music for a specific champ or how much of them have I missed? Anyway, I'll definitely unmute login music from now on...

Any other champ launched in between Lulu and Vi that I didn't mention (Zed, Kha'Zix, Rengar, Darius, Varus, Hecarim) [there were also ones for Snowdown Showdown and Season 2 World Champs and Gatekeeper Galio] were ones I didn't care for.

Expect a major Vi buff in the next few weeks...Vi is below 40% win rate on virtually every bracket of ranked. I don't know what they did to make her nerfed at release....seriously, Rengar, Darius, Jayce, Kha'Zix, Elise OP at release but they really underdo it on Vi? You go tanky, she has no damage. You go damage/armor pen, she's dead within seconds of leaping in...
I also expect one for Nami. Not quite sure she needs it, but her base stats are quite weak and without Runic Bulwark she is fishstick central. 3k+ hp Nami seems to be the only viable build. Only seems to be the lower echelons where Nami is suffering, but I don't see her much. Diana is now the worst performing champ on ranked overall. That nerf hit her hard. Not that I feel ANY sympathy...

Elise is one of the more liked top laners at tourney level. She isn't a burden on ranked or in tournaments. As for whether the general populace can play her properly to the same degreee - that is different.

^ Haven't played at all since the update. I remember Elise was okay, she had great poke at top, but in aggregate she would lose out to tops that could sustain through her harass and "take off" as it were, like Olaf..
