So I tried kennen again since I should know more mids than swain. Ended up carrying like a boss until the end when the other team just focused on stopping my ults, but then my team cleaned them up anyway :P.
boots>wota>rylais>abyssal>hourglass and a deathcap to top it off felt right, not sure where to fit a void staff if the enemy spams mr.
All other teams are completely outclassed. The guys are clearly smarter.
On this case though it seemed like SK was completely lost during the picks/bans phase. Mostly the Renekton pick, M5 just answered said "surprise" by picking Gangplank.
edit: M5 still has insane map control regardless. Thoroughly enjoyed the "SK STEALING THEIR OWN BLUE OMG" joke.

English stream is unwatchable in Europe. Hurray for moving away from own3d.
Seriously, what is up with these ad carries who just farm and avoid teamfights? YOU ARENT HELPING
They rush phantom dancer too? Cause if they do you know why they are doing it , because they are mentally handicapped.
As an AD carry I tend to focus on farm and usually get a PD as my second big item, hmmm... but then again I haven't lost a match since I started playing LoL again. I play Trist, I need farm. I can't carry without farm. Why is your team getting into team fights when your carry is farming? :P Teasing a little here but, I dunno, as Trist farm is a sure thing, team fights, especially mid-game are very risky for me, they might not pay off and they might actually just end up strengthening the other team. I mean, clearly I'll help out at fights that start happening nearby (especially fights for dragon), but I'm not going to camp out at the enemy's tower poking for a minute when there is farm to be had.

That's odd, I can watch it fine. It's Own3d I have issue with, with their awful buttons that work sometimes and adverts that ignore volume settings.
You were in the UK, right? Must have decided to pony up the pipe to the kingdom and fuck the rest of Europe.
Maybe. I can watch just fine in the ass end of Wales, so they've definitely done something right somewhere (at the cost of someone else =p)
Yeah, the French stream runs fine for me. Go figure.
I'm watching the replay of aAa vs M5 and the russians are playing a much more standard game, so maybe they aren't as good as I thought they are.

I used to have problems watching Twitch but it has worked fine for the entire Kiev tournament.
I'm really looking forward to Dig. vs. TSM and TSM vs. M5 (assuming TSM wins over Dig.). I'm kinda disappointed with IWillDominate and hopes he does well in the upcoming matches since he hasn't been that impressive so far.
So, I haven't played in a long time (since before Xerath). It seems like Rammus is good enough that he's get banned a lot now?
Are there any big changes in how to build/play to him nowadays?
Not really. What happened is they released a bunch of AP/AD carries to the point where a few tournaments ago, a couple of teams (Dignitas and CLG I think) ran Rammus in the jungle and pulled some amazing plays. This was during the era when banning all the strong junglers (Lee Sin, Nocturne, Gangplank, etc) was going on and no one was banning Rammus. Queue the community rediscovering him.
The usual defensive items still works nicely on him. Wriggles isn't too bad for utility.
That was pretty ridiculous- triple warmogs, even on Cass. I wonder how much of that was trolling once they started steamrolling and how much was to make sure Veigar could burst 0 people down, ever.
With Cassiopeia the Warmog's was probably half joke, half "I am a threat on damage with just these Doran's and WotA because I am Cassiopeia, so I'll build a Warmogg's to laugh in the face of Veigar's R"
That is what I was thinking as well, the warmogs gave him the ability to just stay around and not worry about being taken out. I thought the M5 matches have been ridiculous but that TSM steamroll was something else.

Hand your team mates a shot of vodka, that's how.
I'm glad to see that my Shyv build (Wriggles/Phage/WE) is pro tier.

I got first blood. Also assist Taric is assisting.

Tell me who wins a lane against Pirate with red buff at level 1

Udyr, maybe Nidalee if she can land her spears.
Renek could have really used a level 2 gank from Udyr up there.

M5 is rushing phantom dancers before any BF items on their AD carries.

Any idea when the matches resume?
