Nevertheless, IMT can't really late game team fight with that comp. They'll have to get some good siege / picks pretty soon.

Edit: ...that'll do

This IMT team actually has a really huge skirmish and re-engage potential between Ekko, Karma and Olaf, it's kind of the one team you could use Cloud Drake on really effectively.

e: Ashe too, poo poo that was actually a really good comp.

Cloud 9 pretty much had better map presence in their ward placements, their objective control and their flanks but forgot that Ekko existed and woops that's a loss.

If IMT didn't keep diving or try to take baron at half hp they could have closed it out quick.

I don't really think that's what happened but I'd have to watch the final fight. That was really close.

Yeah agreed. IMT really dictated the pace after that 4-man kill in botlane but they got too cocky with their dives and overextended really badly.

The game was over as soon as Jensen died while he was watching the fight/shopping/picking his nose while Ekko one shotted him during his recall. Up until that point C9 had better wards, better map movements and were pushing IMT to take risks that they could take advantage of.

After that C9 tilted off the face of the world and IMT did whatever they wanted.

Lol, he wasn't full AP. Rod/MR item/Lichbane means he moves fast, tanks a lot and sustains like crazy while doing tons of damage. He bought a shitload of utility.

I really disagree. WIth how fed Jensen was, if that last fight went even slightly sideways for IMT then C9 picks up Elder Dragon and then it's GG.

e: Watching the replay, Gragas got caught out -badly- by Ashe arrow when there was no one around who could cover/cleanse him, and when he dropped everyone else basically domino'd after him because you don't disengage from Righteous Glory + Karma Ult+E + Olaf Ult

We'll have to agree to disagree. I don't think Jensen was as fed as you make it out to be at that point of the game a lot of the builds were either complete or near complete. I thought the game was over after that brain fart/not paying attention by Jensen after that engage/disengage/reengage.

C9 really needs baron to siege. IMT can easily win if they can prevent C9 from getting one.

C9 has a lot less advantage than expected given how badly it feels like IMT has been losing this game.

IMT just doesn't have the damage to win these fights though. Bring on game 3!

Pobelter on Varus I -really- don't understand. Lissandra was open and would have been a far better choice, imo.

This is the big one. Tank Ekko would be much scarier than AP Ekko vs this comp as the comp you've drafted

Tank Ekko has been nerfed into the ground repeatedly. I don't mind Rod/Abyssal/LB Ekko as like. Half-tank Half-AP. I seriously think Varus instead of Lissandra for counter-engage is the really big error of this draft.

They aren't playing on the nerfed Tank Ekko patch though right? Like it's still 6.10
