Fnatic vs C9 was actually kind of disappointing.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Too stompy to really be interesting.

Also these bugs are so hungry. Even when they eventually lose they're just murderous early on.

[webadict]

Man I just love watching Gambit play. Their teamfighting is so good.

"Playing support amumu is disrespectful" Damn right it's disrespectful, Doublelift, buddy.

In other news I really like this new Pastry dude who comments. His voice isn't skinning my nerves alive and he appears to know what is happening, which is a lot more than Rivington and Kobe can boast.

Support Amumu made a bit of sense, at least. It was a tankier version of Leona with a better ult. With the team they had, they just had aoe damage EVERYWHERE.

Disrespectful was

letting C9 get Kassadin. Fnatic losing that game was deserved.

If it were only bragging rights - be my guest, stupid points system all the way, but with an actual cashmoney prize tacked on - nope.

Meh.

Uh... I mean, it's Riot's tournament. They can do what they want. I'm happy that there were games to watch and teams I could root for.

But I guess you're probably bummed at how poorly EUs #1 team got stomped by C9? That's what you get when you basically say "You're not a threat" and give up Kassadin for free. I don't feel bad for EU. Fnatic was unprepared. C9 deserved that win.

And I'm really glad that TSM has a new mid-laner. Reginald is good, but he's just not able to keep up with everyone else. He was getting to the point where he wasn't even able to keep up with shotcalling.

That was bizarre. Two Akali top matches in a row I had a Renekton against me, which I almost never see in soloQ. Of course I was bullied around horribly.

Then I bought Kayle and spent an entire match lane-bullying a Riven and deleting a KogMaw, so I feel all fuzzy inside now. :3

[Skyrunner]

Kayle is capable of outdueling Riven at level 1. I'm not so sure about level 2 though. Possible, since she gets her Q nuke.

I was bursting her down and chasing her under turret all the way up to the end of the laning phase. I'm not sure if it was just that she was remarkably bad, or that I had three kills on her by level 6. The only time she ever managed to get a kill on me was when I misjudged my flask's regen and the turret popped me after I killed her. Part of it, though, was that a lot of times she would just let me harass with my E without even attempting to trade. Other than that all of my deaths were from the super-fed Yi who kept eating the bot lane and the troll on our team. :|

[Skyrunner]

Aaaand what use is dominating lane if a single fed riven stomps everything. -_-

Meh.

The tournament was a bit silly because although it used the results from Season 3 LCS Summer many of the teams changed, Alliance inherited Evil Genius spot as EG moved to NA and LemonDogs had a completely different roster, team composition wise it would have made more sense to have LemonDogs be replaced by NIP. So yeah TSM had the easiest games for easy cash, but well played to C9 for beating Fnatic.

I think Fnatic need to do some rework to get used to season 4.

[xaritscin]

i won a 1 hour long match the other day......i dont understand how did i get fed in top against a Xin Zhao......using Sion.....i mean....you cannot give a momento to Xin Zhao he becomes really annoying the guy could have killed me any moment.....i had it dominated, along with the jungler (a Sejuani)....the early game came so good that they had to invade other lanes and come in group in order to gank me.......WTF....

To be fair Fnatic is currently... bad. Really, really bad. I've never liked them because even at their peak they were several times more boring than Gambit, and they're not in their peak right now. Let's put it this way : Gambit annihilated Cloud9 at whatever that one even Gambit won was, and C9 laughed Fnatic out of the room.

I just don't understand the match scoring. The only reasonable thing to me would be to have each match be worth 1 point, because, well, it makes sense.

Although I did like Gambit openly admitting that Amumu support is bad after stomping whoever they stomped.

[Flying Dice]

Well now. First Teemo ARAM match I've ever had where the enemy team didn't buy oracles. I was giggling from the first time one of them swore at my giant shroomfield to the moment I backdoored their Nexus out of stealth. Also, 1v1ing a fed Yi and winning. xD

[Skyrunner]

To be fair, Teemo is useful even with oracles. If you minefield your nexus and fight in the middle and disengage, they'll either have to run through the field or navigate arohnd the field. Either way it's a deterrent.

[Jopax]

Just had one of the strangest things happen. Go for ARAM, first time I get Xerath, somebody dodges, second time I get Vlad, somebody dodges. Third time I get Olaf (the rest of the team is J4, Garen, Zed and Kayle) and we face Zilean, Ori, Lux, Singed and Morgana.

The first ten or so minutes were pure terror as we got poked to hell and back. Then with some money and tankiness in most of us we kinda rolled over them for the rest of the match. It's quite funny when they only have Zilean as AD and you have almost 300 mres and about 3k hp to boot. And there's two other guys just like you.

[Sharp]

With Season 4 making it harder to have quick wins and rewarding a late game I think EG might do a lot better although they completely outplayed TBD, I didn't think Fnatic were boring at all, they had some very strong laners and some great teamwork, Cyanide is one of the best smite stealers I have seen, might just be luck but it's like he wins it 90% of the time.
