Bad draft by c9 but their teamfighting is better than IMT. Pobelter had great ult in that 2nd teamfight but it feels like IMT need more items to teamfight properly. Impact still monstering .

c9 is not better at team fighting than imt

Maybe its the comp but u shouldn't get out teamfought that hard in the first teamfight of the game. They went 4 for 0 if ur a good teamfighting team that doesn't happen. Also Impact is miles ahead of Huni in terms of teamfighting because of the champion and ability.]

E: they were even during the first teamfight.

You lose every teamfight 4 to 0 if you fight against a full teamfighting comp on their terms while half your comp is a pick comp and the other half consists of teamfighting champions. IMT outdrafted themselves hard this game

I know this is a crazy observation here but C9 has consistantly gotten better with every series they have played and that was the best game they have had in terms of team fighting so maybe they got better and maybe, just maybe, they could have gotten better than Immortals. It remains to be seen, but that was good from them. They did good.

I highly recommend watching the replays of the teamfights in that game and focussing solely on Huni. He does gently caress all, watches his team lose and dips in every single one, it's like he's a spectator with a skillset and some items

I think they're definitely better than Immortals. I think it's sort of funny that the standard lanes patch helped them so much since they weren't handling Impact well in swaps.

I agree with not banning gnar tbh. Impact is always going to live up to his name in teamfights regardless of the champ he has. I'm just glad IMT finally drafted a pick comp consistently rather than drafting some bullshit comp that attempts to do 4 different things at once. If they play this out right, they should never have to fight gnar before having won the game anyway

I like the draft though. Picking strong laners against a pick comp is one of the most effective ways to shut it down

Immortals drafted Nidalee who does not have a safe first clear, and didn't bother to set up the vision to protect him or his buff, and also drafted losing lanes. It's a terrible comp.

Maybe it's not individual champions that are boring, but the utter lack of diversity every patch inevitably has.

I completely agree - barring Shyvana. Seriously, cannot stand watching, playing, or playing against that champ.
