It didn't help that Visicsachi was constantly trying to trade with Phaxi even though every single time he did the Galio took absolutely zero damage and Rumble got ripped apart.

E: ITS KAYN TIME BABY!

alright, here's my draft plan: we're going to pick the jungler that is insanely weak as poo poo for like 15 minutes and then 100% give up kalista

We're approaching 20 minutes and Kayn still hasn't transformed.

edit: he managed to transform just in time to int into kalista

I want to see the damage graphs. I'm betting Kayn's sitting at somewhere between 9k-12k.

So apparently the hard counter to Kayn is just picking mostly ranged champs so he has to wait an extra 3 minutes for the form that isn't dogshit rear end. Apparently Pridestalker had the assassin transform around 15 minutes but had to wait because assassin form is useless.

The game was over by 15 minutes, anyways. I feel like Kayn's one of those champions where you have to be at a savant level to make him work in professional play, because he just does absolute garbage damage early and depends on there being easily gankable lanes for him to get rolling.

Exileh's been ganked twice by Warwick after playing ridiculously, dangerously far up and comes back with zero Control Wards. Come on, dude.

No, you're dark-side intergalactic encyclopedia salesmen. Unfortunately, the home office hasn't been quite upfront with you.
Is SKT just playing poorly or do they have a problem adjusting to the current patch?

Maokai saplings providing a super leash for Kayn in the jungle is an insane opening boost, Contractz was ganking top before 4 minutes.

That was nice stalling into Taric ultimate from P1. Maybe C9 should have called off the dive at that point though.

Ha. C9 does a much better turret dive after that. Probably one of the most devastating Flays ever done in NA.

P1 has a drat good team fight, especially considering how badly they got clowned during the early game.

Yeah. Xpecial is way too competent on Taric for C9 to make a comeback short of a massive misplay from P1.

Honestly, the more this game goes on, the more I'm genuinely impressed by how well thought out this comp is. You hard win any teamfight you choose to engage on, you can have Kassadin move in to slow or pick off stragglers, and Cho pretty much guarantees Baron if you get 2+ picks.

Jhin is an exceptionally bad pick (especially with that build) against Cho and Maokai and Reapered is an idiot for taking it

And Taric basically shits out heals and completely cancels out much of the early burst damage.

That P1's early game was as bad as it was, and that game still ended up looking like a complete stomp says a lot about the comp they ran.

Ah the good old sivir deathball, just like old times. As a dirty Mao picker, he's really gross right now and Cho is just as disgusting. Giving those two away in pick/ban was just a bad idea. They neuter a lot of the other strong stuff in the game.

I think it's proof positive that this comp is incredibly good when P1 can be so far behind in the early game, then pump the pedal once and roar out of the gate. C9 legitimately had no answer to it.

The fight at top inhib turret just showed how powerful the comp is. They just walked face first into C9 at the turret with gold roughly even and still won the fight and took the turret. It was only thanks to a slick play by Contractz that C9 even got an answer kill at all.

And P1 immediately gives up the Maokai/Kayn combo in game 3.

It's a little bit juvenile, but it's simple and it's timeless.

We let it be known that Schnorkles, for a snack, eats tiny pieces of shit.

You're picturing it and you're talking about it. That's a win in my book.
