At 8:30 on a Sunday morning, no less. 90% of American league playing population is asleep right now.

It's amazing, really.

Guess no one likes sleeping. I had to get up to leave for a soccer game in 30 minutes, lol. I'll have to watch the replay of TSM vs M5 if people say it is worthwhile.

EDIt: M5 showing mad respect for TSM by not counterjungling... though they also don't have GP available to them so that might have something to do with it.

Exciting game, but looks like M5 is slowly pulling away with it. TSM got counterpicked in a few lanes, and M5 teamcomp is better (a lot of front line for Kog). Lee Sin makes Skarner much weaker b/c of AS debuff, and Galio is great choice vs Cass.

I really don't get why they picked Irelia and not some crazy auto-farmer top.
It's like as the casters say, they completely forgot what happened the first game.

I didn't know Shyvanna vs Irelia... was like that. Eww

Shyvanna 2 v 1 vs Skarner and Graves AND nearly killing both of them while still living was crazy. I mean she was getting fed at that point and free reign over those wolves, but ****.

Yeah... why pick a bad early game champ who RainMan doesn't play against Shyvana. TBH Teemo would do great against her because if she isn't autoing she loses a ton of damage.

Plus throwing shrooms into all those brushes to keep an eye on her when she goes to invade the jungle.

Doesn't look like they're going to though.
They usually play it back to back, don't they?

they might not be able to restream if the event is over and they had to pack up and leave. because that's probably what happened

so sad :/

and i'm scared to go looking to see if there is an answer to that question because i don't want to be spoiled

The Rain Man real bad/ball dropper. Outlaned pretty much every time (couldn't even clinch a big lead with a free early kill).
rain man isn't bad, he's solid but he isn't as good as other top level top lanes

don't hate on him, he's still very very good it's just other people are better than him


BUT TSM ARE BROS AND BROS DONT DITCH BROS

He was playing solo queue in a tournament setting. AFK farm and push top doesn't help your team. Not only that, he wasted his chance to counterpick from having last pick and actually counterpicked himself.

And then didn't ward tri top lane to know when Shyv was invading. He misplayed pretty hard from champ select. First game was excusable probably due to inexperience.

EDIT: Thought you were joking about the losing, jpak!

regi picking karthus game 3 was a terrible decision imo, i felt like even if shyvana was caught in the jungle, regi didnt have the damage or utility to stop him

What caster specifically would, that's also safe enough to not get CP hard, that's also great at team fighting? I mean at a certain point there's not much more you can do in that spot besides warding more or coordinating more than 1 person to go and stop it.

BRAND!!

but yea, i can't believe rainman wanted irelia 3rd game. i wouldn't know what would be good, but i thought it was obvious after first game that irelia wasn't going to cut it vs shyv

brand was the first that came to mind, morg is a safe pick as well, tf can push lanes just as well as morde while keeping full map control

Riven, Lee Sin top, Udyr, Rumble, Kennen, TEEMO, Yorick would have all been great choices (especially this since apparently Yorick ult overrides Morde ult). Anyone with a strong early game and AoE clearing, really.
