Lane
Match-ups – Cloud9
Top -
Even
match-up. Lulu has slightly better poke potential but Ryze's damage
if he reaches Lulu is superior. Kill potential lies on Ryze later on
while Lulu is able to whittle Ryze down and keep him at his tower.
Ryze will need to use his all-in strength come level 6-7 to push Lulu
back. The more damage Ryze can get onto Lulu, the less safe it is
for her to push.
Mid -
Yasuo
should have a good time against Syndra, able to dash away from
Syndra's skills. Staying close to creeps and using Wind Wall and
dashes will be essential. Kill potential will be on Yasuo,
especially after level 6. However if his Wind Wall is ever down,
Syndra will gain kill potential onto Yasuo. Ganks from Lee Sin at
level 6 will be extremely effective
Bot -
Tristana/Janna
is a losing lane against Lucian/Thresh. They can expect to be
bullied early on as well as lose all-in fights against KBM. C9
should initiate a lane swap to keep them out of this unfavorable
match-up. If they do 2v2, then Janna will need to get early harass
onto Thresh, and then C9 will have to back off and concede the lane,
farming from safety of turret once the second creep wave reaches
lane. With little to help out a gank, they will also be at a
disadvantage when the junglers come into the equation.
Jungle
-
Lee Sin
will slightly be able to out-farm Jarvan and should seek to do so.
Especially in a lane swap scenario. Reaching level 6 and setting up
Yasuo will be huge for C9. Alternately, a gank agaisnt a pushed Lulu
will be worthwhile. Jarvan will have the end the initial start of
ganks, but a well played counter-gank can put C9 ahead. Look to stop
Jarvan from ganking mid after the initial buffs.
Lane
Match-ups – Kabum! E-Sports
Top -
An even
lane against Ryze. Lulu can poke from a greater range, but must
respect that Ryze will pump out more damage from close range.
Aggressively pushing Ryze into tower would offer the most benefit to
Lulu, however it will require solid warding to make sure that Lee Sin
does not catch her in a gank.
Mid -
Syndra,
like Orianna will have a awkard time against Yasuo. Landing
harassment will be hard, as Yasuo can dash away from most of her
skills. Predicting Yasuo's dash through creeps and landing poke that
way will net great rewards. Be ready to deal with Yasuo's wall and
do not be afraid to flash past it at level 6, if there is kill
potential. Once junglers reach level 6, be very wary of ganks from
Lee Sin and keep up wards against him.
Bot -
A good
bully lane against Tristana/Janna. This match-up will be superior
for KBM and they should look to take advantage of it from level one
with aggressive flays and Q's from Lucian. Without sustain, the
damage will stick. Expect a lane swap from C9, and unless there is a
clear strategy on gaining a lead by staying bot, KBM should look to
catch the lane swap and meet with C9's duo lane from the very start.
Great ability to get Jarvan in on a gank.
Jungle
-
Jarvan
will farm slightly slower than Lee Sin and cannot fight him 1v1,
however getting to ganks is a lot easier for Jarvan. Watch how the
lanes match-up. Go top if Lulu is not pushed, otherwise try to get
some early pressure onto Yasuo. Plan to gank bottom around level 4/5
and then move onto dragon.
Team
Composition/Strategy – Cloud 9
*Win
Condition – Do not fall behind, avoid bad lane match-ups and scale
into the late game. Make plays with Lee Sin, especially with Yasuo
at level 6. Once scaling has occurred, push or split-push and
pressure turrets for the win.
Cloud9's
team is really looking to avoid any shutdowns early and scale up into
the late game. Tristana/Ryze/Yasuo all scale insanely in the late
stages of the game. Janna and Lee Sin provide the much needed power
during the early mid-game, especially if they can setup Yasuo.
Cloud9 needs to go even through the early laning phase, focus on
Yasuo's strength with Lee Sin mid and use that to delay/carry into
the late game where the triple late game threat from Cloud9 will take
over.
Team
Composition/Strategy – Kabum! E-Sports
*Win
Condition – Use the early gank potential of Jarvan and the strength
of the mid and bottom lane to generate an early lead and slowly
progress it into a growing advantage.
KBM has
drafted a stronger early game team than C9. There is a definite
advantage in the duo lane and KBM needs to make sure they find the
match-up. Jarvan needs to use his solid early ganking abilties to
burn a flash in one or preferably multiple lanes (Ryze/Janna
preferably) and then return for the gank at level 6. Lantern ganks
with Thresh will be extremely effective. Once KBM is able to
generate a small lead, they should turn it into vision control over
dragon and look to secure it. Having done so, they should continue to
bully lanes, putting pressure in everyone while keeping up vision to
prevent Yasuo from taking control of the mid game. Overtime the gold
lead should grow and KBM will win from the growing advantage.
Game
Notes -
Kabum
decide to 2v2 with top/support, leaving Lucian bottom alone.
Lucian
does not effectively freeze or fast push the bottom lane, and is
unable to deny Ryze creeps.
Despite
being caught out after good harassment onto Lee Sin, Jarvan makes a
great flash away from Yasuo to keep himself alive.
Because
Ryze has lost nothing in the bottom wave, he is able to bully Lucian.
A good
Jarvan gank burns Ryze's flash.
Good
hook by Thresh top.
Thresh
makes god-like plays top lane getting hooks and making saves against
Yasuo roam. Earns a good lead for Syndra in mid lane.
KBM
make a good move to dragon, however Lee Sin is able to steal.
(someone needed to block Lee Sin's Q) but they do get the first blood
kill on Lee Sin.
Jarvan
ganks bot, burns flash from Janna. Should really return shortly
after.
KBM
attempts to put pressure into C9's Jungle
C9
separates KBM in the bot lane and gain 2 kills, Ryze tries to TP,
gets stopped, but in doing so is able to get the kill onto Lulu for
interrupting him.
Seeing
Lee Sin top, KBM take their second turret, Mid lane with a 3 man
squad. Ends up trading for bot lane turret.
Lulu
gets pressure on the top turret, but takes 3/4 of his HP for no
reason to the top turret, then TP to the dragon fight and dies
instantly. Gives up the dragon to C9. Thresh also engaged early,
using his ultimate way too soon.
A great
Lee Sin ultimate gets a 3 man knock-up in top lane to prevent a gank.
Saves Ryze and himself, but loses top turret. Meanwhile C9 take bot
T2 after killing Lucian.
Kill
trade in mid.
While
pressuring mid, C9 catch Syndra and Jarvan moving down the wrong path
to reinforce mid.
With C9
ahead, they start to make very methodical play to close out the game.
Taking vision control and taking objectives, pressure KBM and
pushing them out.
Item
Notes -
Tristana
and Yasuo build Avarice first. C9 relying on skill against KBM.
These early pick-ups are bad.
An
early Guardian Angel from Yasuo allows him to be the initiater for
C9.
C9
respects KBM, and does not rush anything, continuing with the slow,
safe, secure play.
End
Game Notes -
Kabum!
Played really well throughout the early game and laning phases, even
coming out ahead in some matches, however the team play and overall
game strategy from Cloud9 shut them down.
Experience
is really the major factor here in this match-up and not too much
else.
Cloud9
won by knowing how to play the mid-game, the vision game, the
objective game, and the pressure game.
What
Kabum! E-Sports should have done -
Kabum
really did most things well, considering their experience. A messed
up freeze on bot lane really set Kabum back and allowed Ryze to stay
relevant like a 1v1 lane rather than in a lane swap lane. Vision
control ended up a little lax, but that is also mostly due to
experience. Another big point, was the early dragon. Kabum had a
great setup for it, however they did not block the Q from Lee Sin and
dragon was stolen.
The
only other point I would really make, is that Jarvan should have
returned for more ganks after burning flashes.
In the
future, Kabum needs to recognize how they lost the pressure in this
game and what happened to their vision control. Being able to
understand this will allow them prevent it from happening again, and
allow them to do the same to teams in the future.
