But Saint landing that smite steal is the redemption N/A is looking for right now and winning the fight afterwards

Saint literally would've missed the smite if baron hadn't knocked him up.

Saint did a good job stealing Baron after that unlucky (E: ^^Or maybe not so unlucky^^) knock-up.

The "weakness" in China's game is early. Their goal is to play an agressive game and shut down China's outfarm game. Maybe it'll work. Maybe.

I don't know if Doublelift getting caught the 2nd time was calculated or he just lucked out that time (even tho they did turn that skirmish around)

Yeah. And maybe I'm a chinese jet pilot.

I'm looking forward to the flood of Urgots in solo queue after this. Doublelift is playing great. Urgot passive may be the strongest damage mitigation in the game.

NA is slowly throwing this game, especially that Baron steal that just happened.

Edit: Ugh, that teamfight was ugly.

That fight at the east tower, NA had so little loving damage because st vicious has the majority of the kills and he's playing a volibear. Also, NA didn't press their advantage at all and now I really can't see them winning this against vayne/ryze late game. They also had an amazing chance in first game for a comeback but saint decided to try and fight for a wraith aand then backed in a ridiculous spot. RIP NA scene :(

I used to say this and I think it's time to bring it back: just don't do Baron. Trying to do Baron when you're ahead is simply the fastest way to lose a lead, hands down.

Did anyone seriously think NA had any chance of taking a game at this thing? The gap between NA and the other regions is just massive, they're closest to EU and I'd still back in Fnatic, Gambit or EG against any of the top NA teams any day of the week, against Korea and China? Not a chance in hell.

Well, the second game was looking really good for NA until they decided to towerdive a team with baron.

Judging by the interviews not even the players themselves thought that.
