TSM drew Frost. Ouch. iG v. m5.
Crap, I'm probably going to miss most of the group B action.

Same win percentage as an ADC that isn't Graves, Corki, or Ezrael I believe.
Maknoon is really fucking good, but I will NEVER compliment anyone for playing well with Jayce. That champion is fucking retarded, but I highly doubt Riot will ever do anything about it because he is an original style design.
Additional Bonus Rant: That last game didn't seem so much of NS winning, so much as CLG.eu shitting the bed completely. I've got a tip that even I can see way down from my elo canyon; just because one member gets caught out in the jungle, doesn't mean you have to trickle all the rest of your team in one by one, wasting their ults. You do no damage running away.

CLG vs SK had Chauster running Lulu for a win. I think Chauster ran lulu every game.

So far, none of the NA or European teams look like they belong here at all. Dig vrs Sj was a total joke.

SJ just went from rabid opossum to cowering gerbil. Either they were super intimidated by CLG.eu or I dunno. That was disappointing.

Interesting game to end the night on. Dig made some great efforts at playing from behind but the Koreans managed to pull some epic plays and shut them down almost every time.

So, I caught the first two and last two games but had to sleep through the rest. Any particularly good games I should make it a priority to see?

You saw the best game. Of the games you missed, SK v. CLG.na was OK. Had a fantastic finish.
However, I'd watch anything right now with Najin Sword or Azubu Frost. That's some impressive shit.

Just a heads up, M5 vs IG in less than a minute (not counting announcer bullshit)

My new policy is any time they appear the mute button gets pushed, and I just play the heavy metal songs Mordekaiser's moves are named after I hope M5 pull out some zany zany meta busting shit.

Wow, iG with 2 target bans against Gosu Pepper.
Very interesting picks by m5. Not sure how this'll work out.

Oh it worked :) I loved the Xin Zhao Lee Sin combo. Xin charges Ez, and Sin just charges right to Xin. That's one fucked AD carry.

Wow, M5 really smoked IG with a little rope-a-dope. By mid game, they couldn't seem to lose a team fight.

Ya it was practically a stomp for IG at the beginning, but once those team fights started...
The last fight there at the bottom is exactly what I was saying earlier in the thread about 1 person getting caught by 5 and the rest of the team trickling in to their doom. That Vlad was caught. He was dead. There was no reason at all to Shen ult him, then have rest through good money after bad.

IG was just entirely unable to focus the carries of M5, and M5 was easily able to focus the carries of IG. This is kind of surprising since M5 was an all assassin team and it looked like IG had a front line.

That Vlad was super aggressive in what I saw. Like almost as aggressive as me at my worst. EDIT: So when did 2 tops/1 bot become a new meta? Saw that in both of their games and was like "PIKA?"

It's something you do when you think your top lane is ill matched vrs theirs, such as Olaf vrs Vlad. You move your bot top, and have your top go bot, only IG was hip to that scheme and sent their top bot as well.
Edit: Peace out Naijan Sword. So much for Maknoon.

I fell asleep towards the end of the last M5 match. I guess TPA stomped NaJin?

Not stomped. They were good games, but the inertia was rolling in TA's way, and it didn't stop.

He was getting caught out a lot. He didn't play that very well at all. They're doing a segment on Dyrus' pillow.

They're desperately trying to fill time while they solve the unexpected problem of sun glare.

I'm loving Frost's team comp vs TSM game 1. Well, not Jayce because fuck Jayce, but altogether a fearless push/poke comp that just constantly dared TSM to initiate into a sea of CC and defensive abilities. Possibly more fun than even their game against iG, at least late game.

It was a genuine disparity of talent. TSM might have done well at the start, but they we so out picked that nothing they could do later would win them the game. It's not like they even made that many mistakes. Teamfights just went one way on that one.

They have a weak bot lane and a legit 1900 elo mid (that being said, Regi can make plays). You can't make that sort of talent disparity up, especially when you don't really try anything special. At least iG compensated by having insane aggression.

They were not outpicked. To crib someone from another forum, "If you fight some dude and punch him in the face, you keep on punching him till he can't fight anymore, you don't wait till he gets up or give him a moment to get his bearings. TSM punched AzuFrost in the first(second) round and thought the fight was over because they staggered a bit. " TSM had a 30% gold lead, 3000 gold, before 10 minutes. Instead of using that gold advantage to pressure more gold advantages, they did nothing. They easily had the ability, Graves had a massive lead and pushes about 10 times harder than ezreal, but their bottom lane, right after taking top tower, went mid and... cleared a wave, didn't do any tower damage at all, didn't even attempt it. Then went bottom... and froze the lane. A tower is worth about 2 to 2.5 kills in addition to the map control. They had a harder pushing team[with the exception of Karthus being only slightly slower than vlad due to mana limitations on his e] and a 3k gold advantage. They could have made that 3k lead a 5k lead easily. They did not. Then AF, got back up and turned the entire lead around in one lost fight. A lost fight normally would not be a big deal in this situation. At least, if you're pushing. If you're pushing you have two advantages 1) it lets you respawn before the enemy can get creep waves to your tower 2) it forces the enemy to defend objectives instead of taking objectives. But TSM wasn't pushing. Because they were not pushing Azubu could take two objectives on top of the fight which entirely removed the gold and map control advantage that TSM had. If you think that the skill level of Regi is "legit 1900", or that their bot lane is weak, i don't know what to say. They lost entirely because they decided to sit on their lead instead of expanding their lead when they could. Also because Dyrus is dumb and built triforce on Jayce [anyone who tells you to build Triforce on Jayce is dumb: Stack AD, win games]
