That was a baron throw to potentially top Elements from last week.

What the gently caress is Cali building? He's up against a team that has three people that do significant amounts of magic damage (Ez ult, corki rockets and Mao) and he's got no hp and no mr.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

He did do really well in that baron fight, so I can understand it - him dueling Apollo was big. (even if TIP did help out with the bad baron call)

e: LS bringing the Victor pic to Gravity!

I think Viktor plus a triforce adc (basically, corki) is a pretty strong combo judging from the LCK games yesterday, the midgame powerspike is huge.

IWD setting Quas ahead seems to be winning Liquid the game here. Gravity cant do anything about the powerful Kennen it seems.

Saint also had a really bad early game and was shut out. As Jatt (or was it Kobe?) mentioned, they should have expected the early gank onto Hecarim and counterganked instead of trying for ganks for lanes with less than sure CC.

Jungle Nidalee is a powerhouse right now. Saint just played horribly and so did GV's solo laners.

picking hecarim into lissandra/unknown is so bad and liquid did a good job punishing it

A single predictable gank destroyed their toplane. Viktor had to flash on cooldown. Braum basically shut down their entire comp because they couldn't land any poke on Liquid.

Gravity kind of just rolled over and died before five minutes.

e: Really the fuckup was FP'ing the Hecarim, it's too easy to counterpick. Oh and don't pick it into freaking Lissandra.

They might have fared better with a more CC-oriented jungler, Sejuani even! But really, as Mistaya mentioned the Hecarim reveal gave away far too much. FP Corki would have been way better, and then letting the Nid go in the 2nd rotation. Still, they either had to go Hec or Victor last pick, so I think that it would have been tough.

Honestly what I find stranger is the Rumble ban. Does Rumble do well vs Hecarim? Why wouldn't they ban Liss, who is a much more difficult flex pick?

e: Random marriage proposal, okay then!

even ignoring the easy counterpick, running a carry toplaner and a carry jungler seems excessive, especially when you end up picking one of the highest damage midlaners
