TSM going hard. Whole team is counterjungling Jatt HARD (mostly Regi on Cass).

Sion picked to counter Talon.

EDIT: And then Dignitas does its teamfight shenanigans... and they're back in the game again, rofl.

Tabi seems counter-productive, since your ult deals more damage if you get hit more.

Also, his ult if well placed can be huge. 20% flat reduction on damage for your team is underrated imo... though I think Maokai as a whole is underrated.

Mao's ult sucks because it's very difficult to force the enemy to fight inside it. If the ring followed Mao around, even if the damage reduction was nerfed it'd be much more usable.

When playing akali, you want to Q -> wait for Q CD -> hit them -> Q -> hit them.

If you do this a couple times, they'll learn to retreat right before your Q's back up.

Ok the IEM stream is so extremely laggy. Anyone have solutions / ideas? The quality is poor too. If i raise the quality it tends to get laggy.

You wait until the enemy's dedicated to the fight before you drop it. Like, right before their AP carry blows his/her load on your team. Or something. I don't play Maokai because I sucked with his ult, nor am I lvl 30 or anywhere close so I don't really know a whole lot about actual teamfight stuff.

Or you could have a team with a few characters that can push/pull enemies. Lee Sin, Trist, Blitz, Gragas, uhhhh...probably a couple more but I can't really think of them at this very moment. Place the ring around your own team and then have your teammates launch your enemies into the ring after you've taken some odd amount of damage. But I highly doubt it's really all that effective.

Tabi are stupidly strong. It's like when people talk about tabi/dodge sucking *** on amumu cause you want your tantrum CD to go down... No, just no. You're fixating on something more or less irrelevant rather than the fact that it gives you a crazy 12% mitigation from auto-attacks for less than any other boots in the game, while still providing strong armor stats for it's cost.

Mao's ult is quite good. It's awkward to use, but I like it that way, puts a lot of emphasis on good uses of it.

if I do that a couple times, they're dead. and I don't think you understand exactly what I'm saying. at level 6, akalis waste ult stacks to trigger 1 Q, while if you wait for you Q CD to ult onto them, you can basically make each ult stack translate into 2 procced Qs.

Don't see the problem with Mao's ult. If it followed him around or anything different like that it'd be way too good.

As it is now you put it down and force the other team to decide whether to fight in it or scatter and take hits while fleeing. Sure it doesn't have the obvious impact like Gangplank or Rumble but it's still good regardless IMO.

Well, Phreak is currently losing his match against the English Language.

The English Language is just too strong, really stacking those syllables and dipthongs. Phreak just can't handle that syntax when he's so underleveled.

Pause implemented for tournaments.

Thank the lord.

Now only ranked 5s and I'm happy.
