I mean, you'd think they'd be smart enough to never let him play her again, just like you'd think people would know not to ever let Faker play Riven again if she was remotely near the competitive meta (which I doubt will ever happen but you never know). Then again people to this day sometimes don't ban Irelia against Wickd so God knows what the LCS teams will do in the future going forward.

And then Dig gives Sneaky Kalista the very next loving day. :downs:

DIGs team comp is very good. C9's team comp is very schizophrenic. Nidalee poke with Maokai&Zed dive with Janna/Kalista kite ending up with double AD. They will probably win just off strength of play but I think C9 drafted pretty bad.

Could run it as a split push, Zed down bot and the other four in another lane distracting the team.

Kalista could easily harass while fleeing with Janna making sure Jarvan can't keep close.

That's what it looks like to me, Zed split push combined with Kalista/Janna/Nidalee disengage, with Maokai for the teamfight if it goes south. If they play around the Gnar rage bar and keep Jarvan down like they are that's gonna be a nasty map rotation comp that will be hard as hell to catch.

Yeah my thoughts exactly, Dignitas seemed to get everything they wanted in p&b. I'm not sure what to think of C9's comp, Janna/Kalista feels like it can set up some really weird but great plays for the rest of the team. Their dragon/baron fights might be insanely advantageous with great execution, especially on the offensive against Dig defending the pit, but beyond that who knows. They've got split pushing along with solid lanes (which are winning).

Still, even on a bad day it shuld take more than a few spectacular failures for C9 to lose against a Dignitas who has shown the capability to lane well and nothing but (last week).

e: and indeed C9 has won the game by 20min without team fighting once.

C9s remaining strength is basically designed to dumpster a team like Dignitas, who seem to have no idea what the gently caress they're doing.

That's exactly the point of the draft C9 set up. Dig picked champs to brute force and fight in big engagements and C9 picked to dance around them and the map. C9 is proving they're still a phenomenal team when they're on point, overall, while Dig looks like they're playing solo queue.

Also the fact they let Sneaky have Kalista again, while awesome, is a crime and they should be raked over the coals for it by their coach... oh wait. :downs:

20 minutes of no fighting and then C9 just wipes out Dig in 7 minutes.

Dig seemed to not have very good communication between their engage... Jarvan would jump in and Gnar is on the other side of the the screen.

Another point of C9's comp was that other than damage, Jarvan's ult could do precisely poo poo at every single point in the game. Catch Nidalee? She hops out. Catch zed? W->W. Catch Kalista? One auto and she's out. Catch Janna? Kalista ults her out. Catch Maokai? He doesn't give a gently caress, he can stay there and tank and if he doesn't want to, he just Ws to whoever he wants to lock down.

Thinking about it... Dig should have gone with an azir in that midlane over leblanc. Or even a Lux to block the movement from C9.

He probably should have thought of that before picking Draven into Leona, Jarvan, Ahri.
