If TIP wins the early game they'll win the game.

Impact just needs to play carry top laners like holy moly. Play Gangplank, Rumble, Yasuo, or Riven dude..

Impact's Shen is amazing.

Maybe, maybe not. It's hard to tell what constitutes a "good" shen.

But he is definitely by no means "amazing" on the champion. Partly because the CHAMPION isn't amazing for TIP's style.

Edit: I also think the champion is kinda bad because the only thing he brings to team fights is an unreliable taunt on a long cd. And in this meta of teamfighting with Viktor/Azir he just does very poorly.

You can be good at a champion that doesn't fit your style if you put in the time.

Also, if we're classifying good shen tops:

- Uses ult effectively
- Knows when to split and when to be with the team
- Knows when to be aggressive with his taunts and when to peel with them


That's the basics of how to be a good shen. I probably missed some. He's not a mechanically complex champion, he just requires good macro.

For calling Origen the early final boss, they sure have been stumbling against Roccat after that initial G1 win.

Origen don't look happy, and they shouldn't be happy.

Too bad, I really like Soraka.

I'm really happy Karma AND Soraka are getting picked in pro play. Shows 'em that you don't have to be someone like Annie or Thresh or whatever to win. (even if having some manner of hard engage is always nice)
