They're still not playing very well but I feel like the 21-minute over-the-wall baron bait into a 4 for 0 flank is enough of a goofy play that I'm not ashamed of liking IMT anymore today

"Really uncharacteristic mistakes by IMT"

Actually I'm pretty sure over diving is their single defining trait.

Ninja and Seraph not speaking the same language probably contributed to the split decision that lost them this game.

IMT and their best macro play made the awesome call to lose almost their entire base to get two inhibs that literally didn't matter

There was also the issue of Seraph dropping the pillar of ice moments before Gragas ult hit, making it knock IMT back instead of into NV.

E: after a rewatch, I was wrong, it was from Adrian shielding the cask.

Having Huni take those inhibs was a pretty good call since NV didn't show any signs of actually wanting to engage or force the base race, but I have no clue why he didn't just instantly tp back the second he took that second inhib.

NV hosed up by not taking baron, they coudl've finished it and fought before IMT showed up in game 1.

basically you have to ban braum if you want to play double poke like someone said during the draft for game 2. i didn't watch game 2 but i assume ninja killed himself at least once during an important fight

at one point in the early game where IMT dominated, Ninja and LOD were literally all 4 of the deaths on NV

edit: during a baron NV should have just burned down, they instead pulled off really early and Ninja face checked a bush and immediately died. so yea, he died stupidly in an important fight

Props to these stream 2 casters for making this game sound like FNC vs OMG, had Jatt been casting that Ezreal QSS he would've whined something to the effect of "OH MY GOD KEANE YOU KNEW MASH HAD QSS WHY DID YOU USE THAT GOLD CARD ON HIM"
