Why do teans keep trying these risky barons and then getting caught out?

National tragedy.
I don't know why but I find it hilarious that EDward has all caps CRS prefix instead of the "Crs" that everyone else does.

I thought they were just trying to bait an all out fight, but forgot that C9's entire team is built around the team fight, while Curse has a skirmish comp.

Balls missed a Rumble ult, A RUMBLE ULT.

That's ok jacky whiffed a TF ult right after. He gold carded that minion with authority though.

Even for late game team fight comp vs. early game comp this is a pretty good comeback. Especially when you think about how most of the time when we watch experienced teams vs. new teams the new ones fall apart late game. I guess technically C9 has been around for a long time though, just didn't make it into the LCS in the spring.

I hope they nerf Kha'zix soon, it's boring seeing him just clean up entire teams in every pro game he's in.

he's been nerfed. They just aren't playing on the latest patch yet.

edit: which is kind of dumb really. The whole reason they even changed the jungle for the newest patch was because pro's asked for it, then they don't use it for the actual pro games...

Wasn't a nerf, it was a power shift, he's still just as strong if not stronger than he was before.

Geez that counterengage at baron was good. Whoever Saint used his W on immediately jumped back, then Rumble laid his Equalizer between Saint and the rest of Curse so they couldn't catch up and help leaving him completely cut off and he just died 1v5.

Even early vs late team comps, you don't go down 10-1 typically...that was a good compeback for c9

Yeah, after that early game I kind of figured that c9 was going to lose and it was clear that while they were really good, they were still beatable.

And then Hai and Meteos happened. :stare:

Just remember what happened with technical difficulties in the Season 2 championships. I don't want to see that. You don't want to see that. Nobody wants to see that. There's a reason they let all the bugs get ironed out for a while on the public servers before ever patching the tournament realm. It's just a technical precaution.

Beyond what Corbeau said, keep in mind that the 3.8 patch just rolled out as the LCS was starting again, meaning that the pros have (technically) had zero time to practice on it. By keeping the tournament realm a patch behind, it gives the pros an opportunity to practice the new stuff on the live servers while still playing in LCS games with the stuff they've already practiced for the past month.

VVV he could play other champions if people didn't keep banning out all of his other choices.

I am addicted to video games.
I wish one of these pro teams would take Rammus against these first pick Kha'zix comps. I just feel like Rammus is tailor-made towards countering squishy ad melee carries. Free 120 armor and 3 second peel if they decide they want to risk a reset.

Nope, at least not well.

Looks like that last game gave Dig a little kick up the butt, they're demolishing TSM right now.

I believe the comp that C9 was running was very team fight orientated and just cleaned up really.

Plus C9 is really good at coordinating them.
