Ryze is probably the worst champ to give first blood to that early. If he hadn't had a tear at 3 minutes he wouldn't have been able to push nearly as easily - he was actually almost oom right before he got the kill

malzahar doesn't have the CD, mana, or ap to keep the lane shoved during laning

I know, but it wouldn't have had to be under his turret 24/7 either. He couldve held it in front of his turret if ryze hadn't been allowed a level advantage and to start scaling at 3 minutes

you can chain CC pretty well with Nami/Malz/Elise theoretically, but lmao at landing a Nami bubble otherwise into Cait/Karma

i am pretty sure everyone shoves malz under turret 24/7

I guess we disagree there. I'm not saying he has amazing lane pressure, don't get me wrong, but it really isn't hard to not be under your turret for the first 10 minutes in any (meta) midlane matchup. Even malz

e: I should probably specify on any mana-based midlane champ

apparently the internet is blaming Mouse for EDGs problems, which is an interesting interpretation of what went on that game. they certainly ended up drafting him into a horrible losing lane, and a better player would have salvaged more, but i'm not sure all of the best individual players at their positions would have won with that comp

Poor Yang looks awfully depressed. Just sat in a lane farming for 40 minutes, got a single assist once, and then watched his team lose the game.

Revolta was key in INTZ's only win and even on Lee Sin again it feels like he had no real game pressure, and spent too much time wandering around the jungle looking like he didn't know what he actually wanted to do.

Would be kind of interesting for each team to have 6 people, one without a champ but vision and shotcalling.

I predicted H2K to get out but after not seeing any of the games today I didn't expect them to potentially come out first. World's is kinda wild this year

So how did H2K win the EDG match? By camping the poo poo of Mouse while Clearlove was scratching his balls in the bottom tribrush, I assume?

EDG had one of those comps that could, in theory, maybe do enough damage to a champion to kill them

Has Pawn played all the games today or did Scout play earlier?

e2: EDG is a better team and they may win because deft or pawn goes crazy but their comp sucks

Is the jayce ban really better than twisted fate? apparently it's westdoor's signature champ, but maybe edg baited it? makes the fog of war stream potentially awesome in any case.

Such a mystifying p/b there. I half wish they could just take a qualifying slot away from this group and give it to group D instead.
