WOW GOOD JOB IEM LEAKING TEAM STRATS.

[zoraster]

Yeah another game where at 31 minutes they were able to push through inner, inhib turret, inhib, two nexus turrets, and the nexus... Only partially aided by minions. Like I get at 45 minutes that happens.

[zoraster]

The wait between games is interminable. They could probably make the games best of 3 if they were more efficient.

WOW GOOD JOB IEM LEAKING TEAM STRATS.

wait seriously what

[Randomnamechange]

Yeah, could someone properly explain the leaks?

[mykonian]

Has NA already lost or are you making sure you've got the excuses ready? I thought NA had one of the favorites for the title. You guys should be a little bit more confident.

TSM Picks:
Top: Nautilus (Summoners: Teleport/Flash)
Jungler: Lee Sin
Mid: Likely Lux
ADC: ???
Support: Alistar
Enemy team picks:
Top: Vladimir
Jungler: Rek'sai
Mid: Corki (Summoners: Barrier/Flash)
ADC: Lucian
Support: Bard
Notable strategies leaked:
0:20: Play through mid priority. Let them catch mid and then you go in. They're gonna catch mid, they have 0 pressure here. Walk in, walk in, walk in.
0:35: Bjergsen says "I'm staying on left line". Likely referring to left/right side of mid.
1:30: TSM looks to repeat the same play. "Wait for them to catch mid, play off the mid pressure"
4:55: TSM looks to make a slowpush top and then move to drake.
5:08: Enemy team is on drake. TSM looks to fight.
5:14: "Play the slight move". TSM has some sort of strategy when going onto a dragon that is contested called the "slight move". DL asks for them to do it slowly.
5:19: TSM wins the fight. Bjerg asks to push mid and zone the choke mid.
5:28: TSM pushes mid with Alistar in the frontline pressuring the dive.
Shotcalling: Bjergsen has 60% of comms time, repeating secondary calls. Bora has the 2nd highest comms time, leading the macro game. DL sometimes contributes to secondary shotcaller status. Hauntzer only communicates his TP status. Sven sometimes tries to talk but just gets cut off, his movements are dictated by Bjerg/Bora.
Resources:: Bjerg >>>> DL > Hauntzer
TRANSCRIBED COMMS (PARTIAL)
Yellowstar: Push until tier 2 and then we're gonna make a play here while Rek'sai is top.
Bjerg: I'm looking for a chunk on bard.
Bjerg: They have a pink in dot.
Bjerg: I'm pushing mid, guys. I'm pushing mid.
DL: Pushing bot one more.
YS: Here is Rek'sai.
Sven: softly I pink.
Bjerg: I'm pushing mid.
YS: They are controlling river. We need to go in river.
Bjerg: Yeah, play through mid priority. Let them catch mid and then you go in. Okay?
Bjerg: They're gonna catch mid. They have zero pressure here.
Bjerg: Alright, lets walk in. They're gonna catch mid.
DL: Yeah, look at - cut off
Bjerg: Walk in! Walk in!
Bjerg: We can even catch lucian.
YS: I'm moving long. Dont go too fast. I'm moving long, I'll catch you guys.
DL: Rek'sai has no - cut off
Bjerg: I'm staying on left line. I'm staying on left line.
DL: We'll just get river control. Wait for me to push top.[/quote]

The vietnamese twitch stream had the TSM teamchat audio playing in it for some batshit insane reason.

This was their scrim right before the EVER game.

[Randomnamechange]

WOW they fucked up. Like seriously.

[Voidedmafia]

Has NA already lost or are you making sure you've got the excuses ready? I thought NA had one of the favorites for the title. You guys should be a little bit more confident.

Why would any NA team be up for winning this time? SKT may be on a slump now, but there is no fucking way they're gonna throw like GE did against World Elite.

Plus, they're probably gonna face TSM in the semis, which is practically an auto-win.

[Voidedmafia]

I mean, if there's any team that can possibly hope to beat SKT here, it's CLG. But I don't think they're up to the task. Faker stomps Huhi, Bang and Wolf are going to run over Stixxay and Aphromoo, and while Darshan is arguably Duke's equal and Xmithie is probably the one point where CLG has an advantage over SKT's Bengi, it's not going to be enough unless they play the best damn League they've played all year.

And if CLG can't make it, TSM'll be the only non-eastern team going to semis because I doubt Fnatic will beat the Reapers.

It probably doesn't make or break anything, but saying that TSM and CLG having shit leaked doesn't affect anything is pretty terrible.

Now teams know to prep for Darshan's Vlad pick. It cuts down what CLG can do.

[BROseidon]

Like I get that you hate NA, but you seriously can't be that stupid to think that it's "making excuses" to be upset that teams' strats were leaked by the tournament.

[Randomnamechange]

Western teams were unlucky with who was sent. CLG was the only team that is in the top 2 in their region at the moment. You'd want to send CLG and C9/IMT and H2K + G2

[zoraster]

It's pretty common since the teams are set pretty far in advance.

[Flamemeda]

Darshan isn't equal to Duke, and Blank is better than Xmithie

Korea doesn't lose, lol. (Ever isn't even in LCK)

MSI 2015, IEM Katowice last year, Worlds S2, Worlds S3 (for Ozone)...

[Voidedmafia]

I mean, seriously. Last IEM one of the best teams at the time (GE Tigers) lost to almost literally the worst team in China (WE).

[Flamemeda]

Outliers

[Flamemeda]

Korea wasn't as good in Season 2 anyways

[Flamemeda]

and world elite nearly beat edg

[pickemgenius]

(Ever isn't even in LCK)

yean and Ever was easily the fourth best team in group a.

[Voidedmafia]

Outliers

You said Korea doesn't lose. I just proved you wrong.

Korea wasn't as good in Season 2 anyways

Azubu Frost made it to the finals past CLG.EU, who were probably the 2nd best team in the world at the time second only to Moscow 5.

and world elite nearly beat edg

So you're saying my games are outliers, but your one game/set is worth mentioning? Double standard, much?

Besides, they didn't beat EDG, did they?

[Voidedmafia]

CLG and Fnatic had better well hope QG loses because they're the only team I see either of them beating.

[SleepyKrew]

leaked vlad strats op god Darshan is my hero
