Flameingblack posted:Kalista isn't really known as Bang's signature champion but he still plays it, and they should have known by now that Faker is going to play LB almost every single time he has the chance. Their team comp just didn't look good at all against how much mobility SKT had, not that there's anyway to have seen what SKT was playing but you really have to just assume if you give them the chance to play their broken champs they will. They had a disastrous, disastrous fight in bot lane where they they tried to turn an 0 for 1 into a 1 for 1 and ended up giving up like 2 kills to Bengi super early and 2 to Bang's Kalista. That had way more to do with it than drafts, and what they drafted honestly matched up well against what SKT picked. When poo poo like that happens in a pro 2v2 botlane its functionally impossible to recover from.

So I guess I need to watch the second half of Game 4 and this Game 5 huhDisinterested posted:Kalista only has one counter (ish) and that champion is poo poo in the meta: Vayne. No, the actual Kali counter is Lucian. He's got a range advantage on approach thanks to The Culling and frontends enough damage that she can't get off a monster Rend fast enough. Vayne is never the answer to anything ever, except 'how do I lose a do or die game'.

NTT posted:No, vayne is a pretty good answer to kalista bro No, I get that Vayne's a good answer to Kalista, she's just not a good answer to the rest of the team. You can't pick an ADC that will get absolutely relentlessly dismantled by the enemy team's concerted effort to crush them in competitive. Vayne's a giant 'PLEASE CAMP ME' sign.

It's pretty easy, All you do is pick vayne into kalista, feed your rear end off, and watch bjergson go 12-0 in the first 20 minutes and win the game for you. Power picks, the NTT way.

Not true, League of Legends is one of those Rock Paper Scissors variants with way too many options except each champion counters and is countered by exactly one other champion, and every other matchup is a 50/50 random draw to determine which player is the "lucker noob" and which is the "feeder noob".

GreyPowerVan posted:what I dunno  I also don't understand why BKT counter-swapped for the 2v2. Tristana sucks in a 2v2 lane normally anyway, and with their bot lane roleswapping I don't see how BKT can hope to win that lane. E: A bit of research about Moss suggests he's an ADC main normally (he's a sub for BKT, their normal support couldn't make it) but even so...

rabidsquid posted:Bang just played the best game of ADC I have ever seen I just finished watching VODs of the Champions Semis. I agree with this. Because of the level of competition and the level of pressure with everything on the line, I think it easily tops the insane Lactea Draven game as pound-for-pound the hardest an AD has ever carried. It was just stunning. Faker was amazing too, no question, you expect Faker to be amazing every game and he was. But Bang's Lucian game just made my jaw literally drop to the floor.

the mvp of the SKT comeback was toilet. all hail toilet. but for real as someone who has some aspiration to be an 'adc main' that bang performance was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sick. Faker's LB is like I dunno the sports equivalent of being posterized by a good dunker, but that Bang Lucian game was the equivalent of Messi just shredding a defense to score singlehandedly, or a running back just stiff arming people out of the way en route to breaking a rushing record. Allyn posted:Same and same and same. Especially impressive how selfless Faker was in 3 and 4, but still came up huge. Also Bengi was a loving boss, huge presence all the time and was the catalyst for the game 5 snowball I loved the switch in the last like 4 major fights by Faker to stop ulting Marin or Bengi and instead just ulting Bang every time. Bang really grew into a top line ADC this season. He was always boring & reliable but he has some serious carry chops now. Bang's Lucian: 77.8k dmg to champions  Largest crit: 2175  http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/TRKR1/580109?gameHash=b817640f2c56dc89&tab=stats edit: Oops of course! \/\/ Jerkface fucked around with this message at 22:31 on Apr 24, 2015 |

Rewatching the IWCI...compared to the SKT/CJ games, watching Bankok Titans Run a full tank cinderhunk Lee Sin top is an abrupt change, to say the least. They still even managed to almost win with it, somehow.

Huni stole all the barons/dragons though. It was absolute garbage tier as a pick but that WAS pretty funny. Man, halfway through this interview with Hai, it kind of IS like watching a funeral. I was hoping he'd perk up as it went along but man. This is probably weird to say but it feels like a bummer to see him in a suit. Hopefully he can grow into it.

I don't think this has been officially announced but I'm pretty sure you can hear Sneaky/Meteos in the background of Yusui's stream, and he changed his name from C9T Yusui to C9 Yusui. http://www.twitch.tv/yusui C9 v2.0 let's go.

It'd be surprising if the tryouts were already over. Basically I'll take this with a grain of salt. Yusui is like a shittier NA incarnation, but that doesnt mean he is a bad player. If he indeed won the tryout I'll be interested to see a more mid & bot focused C9 next split. Hope they bounce back and come at TSM strong.

Even in game 3 Bang did amazing as sivir. During that midgame teamfight where she killed Hec and got Jinx killed, she was basically manmode fighting jinx with less than 30% hp and no fear. Pretty good, I know I would have caved in and died or ran.
