Someone got proven wrong.

Someone did

Unlike Kiev though i think a lot of the games were won at the Champion Select screen as opposed to their playstyle, the roaming Alistar solo bot Urgot was though.

That double gank on shyvana early and then on morde. Ali lee combo gank is insane.

I know Urgot is strong bot and he had blue, but I am still disappointed that dignitas could not win 2 v 1 versus him. Not only that, they actually lost the 2 v 1.

PRSOM.

I am an idiot for not trying that though. Finally I can stop using the wrong mastery pages as well

Rooting for M5! I just <3 Alex Ich!

(Original post by M_E_X)
What makes you say that? I guess you've been scrimming with them? Or they've been begging you for ideas?

I mean how else do you know?

(Original post by cambo211)
I don't think M5 have any more tricks up their sleeves.

They blitzed the last one because they just played completely differently to everyone else, now everyone does what they do.

(Original post by M_E_X)
Fair enough. Sorry if my earlier post was rude I +'d you to make up for it


I think they'll pull a surprise out of the bag, even if it's just a new mid champ from Alex Ich (last game he played Morde and Galio a lot)

Now I'm not one to point out when I'm right...

Oh wait. Yes I am.

Turns out M5 did win, and they did pull a surprise out of the bag, and did have more tricks up their sleeve. Alex Ich 2stronk

Everyone's talking about a current tournament - where can I watch it please? And how do I know when it's on (and where)?

They did pull a surprise out of the bag? Oh right, the Urgot solo bot lane by Genja.

Is it just me or was the commentators completely one-side (Phreak particularly) in favor of Dignitas/NA teams in general and spouting pure bull**** about how Darien M5 can only play a few champions top lane (he probably in contrary has the largest champion pool, only player I've seen play Wukong successfully mind you at a major tournament).

Victory for Mother Russia once again.

You can watch the replays over here - http://www.youtube.com/user/IntelExtremeMasters

You can generally be informed when a tournament is live by either the League of Legends client showing a clear link & logo of the tournament or stream. They do always announce any major tournaments ahead of the time though at the latest news section at the official site - http://euw.leagueoflegends.com/ - at the far right corner you'll see "IntelEM Grand Finals now Live" being the latest tournament.

It was IEM Hanover, the final IEM (Intel Extreme Masters) tournament of the season.

It's over now, but you can see VODs (videos of the games) on youtube. Here is the final: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dT0l...ure=plpp_video (other vids on the same channel)

Hmm I don't know if he's biased, I saw the comment about Darien but to be fair he was being targeted with bans a lot. Why does Scarra die so much in lane every single game?

[carehow]

Thankyou so much M_E_X and Zurvan!

Scarra played Mordekaiser a lot this tournament who just naturally pushes hard thus being vulnerable to ganks, why he carries on playing aggressive after blowing flash less then a minute ago from a gank without any vision is just "I don't know.." . Still a great guy though, my favorite streamer.

When is season 2 over?

I want that gold badge and after winning 5 in a row im so close again (4 with jarvan btw he is so fun to play).

Me too actually, and Sion. I own most of them already.

In other news Gragas gets infinitely better with practice - just destroyed an Annie in mid

Xerath is good fun - went 13/1/12 in an AI match. He has really decent burst potential with his ulti up as you E > W > Q > R(x 3 to chase) and that kills many champs.

Actually you want to use your first charge of R as to guarantee the stun from E subsequently sealing the deal of the damage done by Q landing while hes stunned. So, your rotation would usually consist of W > E > R > Q > R > R and just igniting when appropriate. Keep in mind that your E does deal damage so if possible doing it while your in W mode in order to benefit from the magic penetration to deal maximum potential damage. Although, when and when not to W really just depends on the circumstance of the situation at hand.
