Week 6 in the NA Spring league.
Team Dignitas vs Team MRN
---d bans: Renekton, Irelia, Shen---MRN bans: Thresh, Kayle, Draven---
d: Elise, Nasus, Diana, Caitlyn, Janna
MRN: Rumble, Jarvan, Karthus, Vayne, Sona
MRN has more substitutions? I didn't really catch why they needed to change things around.
Team SoloMid vs Complexity
---TSM bans: Elise, Thresh, Kayle---coL bans: Renekton, Rumble, Draven---
TSM: Shen, Xin Zhao, Twisted Fate, Caitlyn, Sona
coL: Zed, Amumu, Diana, Kog'Maw, Lulu
Silly M eye A. He gets caught out a lot, for a professional support player. Just saying. On a different note, I couldn't really imagine playing with a hat on my head. Reginald's wearing a winter beanie, and Lautemortis is wearing a gigantic spiked Koopa Troopa? This game was really, really close the whole way to the end. But TSM finally got a pentakill on their somewhat superior ADC at the very end, and that was that.
At the beginning of the next video, Deman is in the "interview lounge" (don't think they've named it yet, but it's a little nook with some couches) with Xspecial and Wildturtle, and they talk about what is up with ChaoX in a pretty frank manner (he actually said he hopes ChaoX "learns his lesson"(!)), which is refreshing for someone like me, who watches a lot of ESPN. May you never develop the crazy politically-correct atmosphere of the NFL, esports! They also seem to have a reality show following them in their gaming house, which would be cool, but I'm behind enough on vods as it is.
Counter Logic Gaming vs Team Dignitas
---CLG bans: Singed, Gragas, Kayle---d bans: Twisted Fate, Vayne, Renekton---
CLG: Malphite, Nasus, Orianna, Ezreal, Lulu
d: Rumble, Volibear, Diana, Caitlyn, Elise
Yikes, CLG got stomped.
Team SoloMid vs Team MRN
---TSM bans: Akali, Jarvan, Renekton---MRN bans: Shen, Kayle, Thresh---
TSM: Malphite, Nasus, Twisted Fate, Draven, Lulu
MRN: Elise, Nocturne, Karthus, Caitlyn, Sona
At one point, running up mid with his team, Reggie pulled the Destiny, looked around, then just teleported himself bot to farm a lane - MRN immediately engaged with the nocturne ult, knowing Reggie couldn't attend that party on time. Unfortunately, they couldn't quite blow up the whole team before Reggie could walk himself back, but it was a cute move.
Counter Logic Gaming vs Team Solomid
---CLG bans: Singed, Shen, Renekton---TSM bans: Vayne, Malph, Taric---
CLG: Karthus, Jarvan, Orianna, Ezreal, Leona
TSM: Rumble, Xin Zhao, Zed, Draven, Thresh
Holy buckets, it's 6-1 at 5:45 in favor of TSM. What is going on, CLG?
Team MRN vs Team Complexity
[MRN bans: Zed, Kha'Zix, Kayle][coL bans: Renekton, Irelia, Jarvan]
MRN: Udyr, Shen, Twisted Fate, Draven, Lulu
coL: Elise, Volibear, Jayce, Caitlyn, Thresh
Don't disregard MRN v coL! It's the matchup that features the Wu brothers facing off. Besides, it's an Udyr! But it's 15-1 near the thirty minute mark in favor of MRN...
Vulcun Command vs Counter Logic Gaming
[VC bans: Vayne, Twisted Fate, Renekton][CLG bans: Kha'Zix, Zed, Singed]
VC: Rumble, Nasus, Nidalee, Tristana, Thresh
CLG: Karthus, Jarvan, Katarina, Ezreal, Sona
CLG runs that lineup again, with the Karthus top, and it works a little better this time, but VC eventually overcomes it.
Team Dignitas vs Team Complexity
[d bans: Kha'Zix, Zed, Caitlyn][coL bans: Diana, Kayle, Elise]
d: Rumble, Volibear, Gragas, Draven, Alistar
coL: Darius, Amumu, Ryze, Varus, Thresh
Wow, that's a lot of very large dudes on both teams, but mostly dignitas. These two teams are pretty friendly with one another, and did they agree to make it an interesting game? Because there's 27 total kills in the first 19 minutes. It's the kind of murderous free for all that reminds you why you love to play LoL in the first place. Deman calls the game 'pretty lively', to which Phreak remind him that all these kills means that they're mostly dead. Ba-dum-pish. In case you weren't going to watch the whole vod, you're welcome, for bringing you all of Phreaks greatest puns. At the end, I feel that coL bungled a team fight when they should have stayed and fought with Darius instead of running away (and then turning around one by one), and that ace sealed their fate immediately.
