Really, really bad trade from IMT. I wouldn't trade Turret for Infernal or Mountain, and the fact that C9 grabbed mid on the side is just... what?

Gotta say, Meteos actually ganking lanes seems effective.

When Lee Sin was the hottest poo poo in the jungle Meteos was actually pretty gank-heavy, particularly in toplane. Granted that was like. S3-S4 Meteos.

That said this game is moving a mile a minute.

Every single fight seems to be immortals smashing and taking something and then over diving instead of playing around objectives.

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.

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

Ghetto SuperCzar posted:

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

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.

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

what a loving garbage draft by imt

like why would you draft a poke champ into what c9 has

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

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.

Asema posted:

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




ALso the P1/Fox game is also a good watch imo

Ekko took a nerf in 6.8 and Midseason dialed back Iceborn which is one of Tank Ekko's key items. I don't think full tank Ekko is really viable even without the 6.11 nerfs, they're just sealing the coffin shut.

I just tuned in after being out for awhile, what happened in g1/g2 of this C9/IMT series?

Both games have been bloody and sloppy as hell, but Immortals managed to outchase/outskirmish C9 in game one.

Game 2 IMT drafted a poke comp against Sivir/Karma. You can guess how that ended.

I keep saying this but people forget when C9 came in and destroyed everyone in their first season Meteos was a real master of objective control and ganking, especially on Lee Siin.

Well yeah he's fallen off/people have passed him up obviously but "Meteos farming the jungle at 25 minutes while his team dies" meme is a bit exaggerated is what I'm getting at

Okay so I've been out of thee loop like, all season, mostly adjusting to new work/home life situations, partially playing Witcher, mostly just haven't had thee time to catch the new long-form games, can anyone give me the major highlights? Who's going to worlds, how NA is a fairing, what the meta's like now, I know EU is currently a dumpster fire, but that's really the extent of my knowledge.

The teams in green in the "Total" column are qualified for worlds, as are the teams right below them.

Only the ones right below them? I thought we usually had three teams. (I admit I'm mostly biased cause Immortals at Worlds sounds like stupid fun)
