Lane
Match-ups – Kabum! E-Sports
Top -
The
early match-up top lane will go even, with both Ryze and Kayle
farming in lane safely. Ryze can bully Kayle at level 1, but Kayle
will sustain through it from level 2 on with his heal and pots.
Around level 6 and Ryze tear/catalyst, the match-up will swing
heavily in Ryze's favor. The much higher burst of Ryze will allow
him to really bully Kayle, as Kayle's power spike does not really
come into play until he reaches Nashor's tooth + Needless Rod or
Recurve Bow; even then Ryze will be able to outrade with his spell
combo and backing off after he uses his snare. Kill pressure is
unlikely though after 6, as Kayle's ultimate and heal speed will keep
him safe. Ganks from Elise with well chained CC can be successful.
Getting Ryze's Rune Prison one after Kayle use's his heal will net
better results.
Mid -
This
lane will mostly be a farm lane, however if Syndra is able to land
her stun, she can get some free harass onto Xerath. At level 6, kill
pressure will definitely be on Syndra's side, should she be able to
reach Xerath. Ganks with Elise's upfront damage and the double stun
will be highly successful.
Bot -
KBM's
duo lane is in a very unfavorable match-up. They have few ways to
break Morganna's black shield and will be unable to reliably land
Thresh's CC onto a target. Lucian will be free to punish and harass
Jinx from the start, and will have full advantage in all aspects.
KBM should really look to lane swap.
Jungle
-
Elise
has the early advantage over Khazix and should look to use that to
her advantage. Take control of the top side of the map, essential
trading jungle sides with C9. Elise will have better gank potential
on both top and mid lane, while funneling Khazix into expected
postions by bullying him out of his jungle.
Lane
Match-ups – Cloud9
Top -
This
lane will be a farm lane for Kayle. Primarily Kayle has been picked
for his late game potential and for his ultimate use on Katarina and
Khazix when they dive into AHQ's team. In lane Kayle will get
bullied, but will be able to sustain through Ryze's damage. It is
unlikely that Kayle will pull a large enough advantage to put kill
pressure (or any pressure) onto Ryze. On the same side, it is
unlikely that Ryze will be able to put kill pressure onto Kayle at
anytime during the laning phase either. If Ryze is pushed up to
Kayle's tower, a gank from Khazix could secure a kill with the double
slows and the speedup from Kayle.
Mid -
A farm
lane for Xerath. Should try to get any poke he can onto Syndra while
making sure to avoid getting stunned by her. Keeping his range,
Xerath should be under very little threat unless he gets hit by the
long range stun of Syndra, allowing her to close the gap. Farm farm
farm and get ready for the siege game that will be happening mid and
late game.
Bot -
Lucian/Morgana
will be able to bully Jinx/Thresh from level one and continue to
through the laning phase. Morgana's Black Shield will allow Lucian
to play very aggressively, stopping Thresh's CC. Lucian being the
much better duelist, will be able all-in and out-trade Jinx. C9
needs to do their best to find this match-up and let their duo take
control. If low enough early on, a tower dive from Khazix may work
out really well.
Jungle
-
Khazix
has a rough time against Elise early on, will need to avoid her and
outfarm and scale her. Expect Elise to be focusing on top/mid
respectively. Kayle should be safe in a gank, though will lose
flash. Moving into KBM's bottom jungle, Khazix would be in a
position ripe to counter-gank mid lane, or perform a turret dive onto
bot lane if C9's duo can get them low.
Team
Composition/Strategy – Kabum! E-Sports
*Win
Condition – Survive the early game against C9's top and bottom
lane. Get gold advantage from top/bottom turret, and then pressure
C9's remaining turrets, take a lead, move out of Ryze's mana phase
and get Jinx to her two item build. If at a lead at this point, it
can be slow pushed into more and more turrets and map control.
KBM
have a very strong turret pushing team. It does hit a rough spot
against Xerath, but Xerath does take awhile to start one shotting
waves. With their two rough match-ups in the early levels in top and
bot lane, Kabum should initiate a lane swap. With 4 ranged
champions, Kabum could revert to the old style, super fast/hard push
in a lane swap. Find out where Khazix is starting to plan your
double jungle route. If possible, go blue → C9 red, otherwise red
start. Meet up with the duo lane at the top turret and push it down.
Jinx and Elise are amazing at tower pushes and Kabum could easily
take T1 and even push into T2 turret. Aside from just the pushing
power, if C9 try to defend, there is a massive amount of CC and catch
potential from the 4 man squad.
After
taking the top turret(s), then Kabum's duo can go bottom, having
avoided the low level disadvantage and having gained gold to help
them survive. From heres, look for good opportunities to 4 or 5 man
gank bottom with TP. Take the bottom turret and then pressure onto
mid lane. Run this lead from turret to turret and continue to
constantly push into C9 and keep them on the defensive.
Team
Composition/Strategy – Cloud9
*Win
Conditions – Win lane, win game. Turn lane wins into tower siege
and long range poke.
Cloud9's
composition screams win lane. Their top and bottom lane match-ups
are highly in their favor early on, and a single kill top will
prevent the power dip of Kayle, keeping him able to bully. C9 must
find these lanes and dominate them. Lane wins will then easily turn
into dragons and turret pressure with the poke and siege of Xerath.
Game
Notes -
C9 get
first blood before KBM is even level 2 in bot lane. C9's duo has so
much power against Kabum's duo.
The
pressure is so strong that Khazix and Morg are able to take over
KBM's bottom jungle.
Good
gank by Elise up top, however misses cocoon. Burns flash on Kayle
but does not get the kill.
C9's
duo lane really bullying and pressing Jinx hard.
Amazing
Culling by Lucian.
Game
goes very slow from this point on. With C9's bot lane so ahead, they
are keeping up the lane advantage as long as possible, and take the
dragon easily.
C9 keep
up the laning phase, even after bot turret goes down. Lucian pushing
into KBM's T2 turret, continuing to hamper Jinx.
Ryze at
the point where he can bully Kayle now, takes top turret.
Game
has really just turned into the Lucian show. KBM is unable to deal
with him with C9 controlling the bottom jungle as well.
A 5v5
fight ends up with KBM getting a burst kill onto Kayle when C9 gets
split. However C9 able to bring all of KBM low and then takes bot
T2.
Xerath
gets caught, but makes a great dodge of Jinx's chompers.
KBM
push mid, get a decent push/fight, but just barely miss out on a kill
and take too much poke from Xerath. C9 takes top and mid.
Gold
lead is really in C9's favor. Another dragon goes their way.
Kabum
make a great engage during Baron vision war. Gets them a great
catch, a kill, lots of damage and push mid. They take both mid
turrets, and 3 kills as C9 defend the turret 1 by 1.
KBM
have done well, deciding to move as 5 and stop trying to deal with
the lane game C9 was trying to extend, however it is a bit late.
Cloud9
realize this and start to group themselves, giving more respect to
KBM's burst potential.
Vision
war over Baron, C9 seek to pull Kbm into a fight or take Baron. Ryze
takes the wrong turn running away from Baron, gets chased down, ends
up getting C9 to overextend and get caught, however C9 are too strong
with Baron. Trade 3 for 1, two turrets, and top inhibitor in favor
of C9.
C9 uses
their advantage to close out the game, pushing bot lane next.
End
Game Notes -
The
lane was really won by the massive lead on bottom lane. And the farm
advantage it gave to Khazix.
Cloud9
played a little sloppy during the mid game, and could have pressured
and closed the game earlier.
Kabum
played well, but C9's super early lead was too much to overcome once
C9 decided to win.
Kayle
was really just a nothing pick in this game.
What
Kabum! E-Sports should have done -
Really
all they should have done was lane swapped. They played great, but
they made a huge strategic error in their lane match-ups. KBM really
needed to lane swap and fast push turrets. They should have played
the strategy their team was setup for (see above under Team
Composition/Strategy).
