Except Trist is also a safe carry who scales much, much harder, and all Liquid is doing is letting WildTurtle farm and farm and farm...

The fact that TSM has no tank line might hurt them but as I say this they win a teamfight so who knows.

yes trist is stronger lategame but that doesnt make cait a weak pick because cait also has safe mid and earlygame.

Both of these teams have a million ways to start fights and neither will.

The map needs that closing shadow from Bloodline Champions that forces people into combat. That should activate whenever the game goes 5 minutes without a kill.

Enough of this nonsense. You are an important mayor and this absurd contraption has wasted enough of your time.
This is one of those boring games that Monte drools over. It's good strategic play from TSM that is boringly cautious. Can't argue with results though. Sadly.

but really if you have nunu you need a hard engage support and a bruiser top that actually deals damage or you lategame is gonna be all on the ad to do damage but the enemy team has 2 divers and 2 skillshot mages. the enemy has no reason to dive the cait because they can just kill the frontline first

I hate DFG/Abyssal Ahri and I don't see why these guys rush it. I didn't like it on Froggen the other day or anyone else either. Even if you are going DFG first, you need more power after that.

How Rude posted:

caitlyn isn't that though, she's great for objective control (rotations) and a safe auto attack range and scales very well with items. of course, against a Tristana she will obviously lose out lategame but until then Caitlyn will have the edge, especially midgame.

Trist outranges Cait at level 11. There is a tiny tiny window of 'better than her' in the midgame, especially if Trist gets to sololane. You really only have the earlygame so if you don't crush Trist at that point, you're done.

---

On a happier note, that was suuuuuuuuch a good game from TSM. Masterfully played, nobody could ask for more than winning thoroughly at the strategic level like this. It isn't an adrenaline rush, but it's certainly a masterclass of Legal Legends.

I wonder if their collegiate program is gonna be able to feed good LCS players to teams. Having only three strong teams in a split is a bunch of turds.

Yeah, I certainly don't fault anyone for thinking this game was dull, because it was imo. But TSM never looked lost. They had a plan and executed it perfectly. It's way better than watching Elements and Roccat stumble around.

The only thing I can say about Elements vs. Roccat (El-Gato!) is at least it proves Rito's model of "The game ends at five dragons even if you shitters refuse to ever fight until then." It could have been a 120 min game in a previous season.
