I actually don't think smite is stopped by disables? You have to CC the jungler out of range of the smite.

Correct but what he's saying (I think) and what Deficio was saying - ult him outside the pit. Go out of the pit as Liss and lock up the team. Being out of range will stop a smite.

I would love Fnatic to win this but they're still gelling as a team whereas SK is in perfect lock step, brought together by doing team building hate crimes.

FNC needs to get some turrets. They could open up a lead if they actually knocked down a few tier 1s.

I'm not sure what we can take away from this about SK other than that their warding is garbage by competitive standards, but Fnatic showed the gently caress up for this and are proving they deserve to be a top three European team.

SKs warding strategy works vs lesser teams who cant out fight or out rotate them. Once you get a team who isnt scared of you and willing to pressure you from the areas you have ignored in warding you end up with this. I'm glad SK is getting pressured really hard in this game, they are still the best looking western team and they should keep improving.

FNC looks cool too.

Having the bans push Fredy on a Renekton is an obvious success with how he bungled his Slice & Dice into stupid, meaningless deaths multiple times this game. Rumble should not win that lane, and instead he snowballed into full on mid game beast mode. Svenskeren's made a bunch of mistakes too, SK are looking surprisingly mortal. Also Fnatic are playing Really Well and this is a good game.

Renekton was one of those stupid "im going to win lane" picks that never work out properly in competitive

also im going to be pissed if SK don't go to IEM because i want the forgiven vs pray battle

Yeah and also what the gently caress does Renekton do in a team fight with a Jarvan jungle. In way too many spots you just end up with something where J4 initiates and Renekton goes to be a frontline tank somewhere else where nobody gives a poo poo. Fredy looked like an idiot in the fight around mid.

I think SK is pretty much going to IEM. Do they have to go 0-2 this week and FNC go 2-0 to miss out? i thought they essentially secured a spot by being undefeated.
