Lane
Match-ups – OMG
Top -
I feel
that Maokai is going to the weaker one in this lane, however, both
being tanks it will not matter all the much. Maokai should be able
to farm up, even push Mundo into his tower, however he will not be
able to kill Mundo and should Maokai go for a trade, he will have
less sustained damage than Mundo, who can stick to Maokai with his
cleavers. Maokai should look to farm in this lane, and push Mundo
back, trying to deny CS at the tower while avoiding any major fights
with him. Maokai will scale into his tankiness earlier than Mundo
anyways, and should make sure to not give Mundo an advantage.
Mid -
Twisted
Fat is going to be looking to ignore Zilean almost completely.
Getting to the point of one or two shotting creep waves will be
Twisted Fates goal, able to clear the wave and then run into hiding
for roams or ganks with his ultimate. If Zilean tries to harass,
then TF can stun/Wild Cards to keep him at bay or trade evenly.
Should look to lock in a stun card anytime Zilean uses his speed up.
Bot -
An even
match-up in the both lane. Corki/Thresh can turn the lane in their
favor if Thresh can land a good hook, allowing Corki to guarantee his
Q and get off solid damage from his other sources. Corki will have
to save his dash to dodge Nami ultimate/bubble though, otherwise the
trade will end up in SHR's favor, due to the sustain of Nami. At 6,
Corki will need to poke down SHR's duo and watch out for Lucian being
extremely aggressive with his burst into ultimate.

Lee Sin
vs. Khazix, not much to say about it other than its even, with the
difference being more early power for Lee Sin and better scaling for
Khazix. Lee Sin should look to gank for any of his lanes really, all
of them offering follow up potential. Keeping Mundo down will
probably yield the best overall results though and should be focused
if possible.
Lane
Match-ups – Star Horn Royal Club
Top -
Mundo
is actually going to be stronger in this lane, but not by a whole
lot. Mostly Mundo will be looking to farm, wait till level 6 and
Spectre's Cowl, and then he can start to really bully Maokai, as his
regen and magic resistance will be high enough to ignore most of
Maokai's damage while Mundo's sustained damage will be high enough to
all-in Maokai and push him out of lane. Should really look to punish
Maokai as soon as possible, as Mundo will take longer to provide as
much benefit in a team-fight, even if he can win the 1v1.
Mid -
Zilean
is kind of countered in this match-up, not by getting pushed out or
killed by TF, but mostly by being ignored by him. Zilean will be
able to farm pretty freely, however he will be unable to keep TF from
farming or ganking with his ultimate. Zilean should just look to
hard push, going for TF's tower, which will be the best way to keep
down TF's options.
Bot -
Lucian/Nami
will be running into an even match-up, but one that they will
eventually out last with sustain, so long as they don't take uneven
trade damage. Lucian will have to save his dash to dodge Thresh
hooks, or Corki Q's if he can dash and still keep Thresh's hook
blocked by creeps. Nami will want to save her bubble for protection,
while helping Lucian get damage off her E. At 6, all-ins will be
more effect for them, and they should seek to try to bully OMG's duo
before Corki can poke them down.

Lee Sin
vs. Khazix, not much to say about it other than its even, with the
difference being more early power for Lee Sin and better scaling for
Khazix. Khazix is not going to have much opportunity for ganking,
unless a lane is heavily pushed forward. With mid most likely
playing safe, and bot lane running even, Khazix should farm and look
to protect Mundo or gank a pushed Maokai.
Team
Composition/Strategy – OMG
*Win
Condition – Play solidly. Use Twisted Fate to get picks in the
mid-game and turn it into a lead. Picks on bottom lane will lead to
dragon and more gold advantage. 5V5 team-fight with a solid lead.
OMG
have a pretty solid team this go around. Strong early and mid-game
from Lee Sin/Corki. Great gank ability in the mid-game with Twisted
Fate, and tons of pick potential with Thresh/TF/Maokai to follow up
snare. Their team-fight is strong with lots of lock-up and CC as
well as a solid tank, poke and burst. The sustained DPS is a bit of
a problem, however with all the lock-down that they have, it is less
important than in game 2. OMG should be able to poke safely with TF
and Corki, if SHR try to engage, OMG can easily hold off Mundo and
then lock-down Khazix if he goes in. As long as OMG do not get
punished early or make mistakes, they should be able to move into a
stronger mid-game and take it to the win.
Team
Composition/Strategy – Star Horn Royal Club
*Win
Condition – Outplay OMG and get a lead to be able to make use of
the Zilean ultimate and power through the lock-down of OMG.
I think
this is going to be a tough one for SHR. SHR only have Nami to
provide any kind of lock-down where as they are going into four
champions that have some kind of CC. Zilean ultimate is going to run
into the problem of bringing someone back up into a bunch of CC. SHR
are going to have to outplay OMG to win. They do have some good
tools for this. Zilean speed-up, good disengage, some resets, and a
big tank, but it just doesn't seem enough against targeted CC of OMG,
and the lack of any poke from SHR. SHR are going to have to be the
ones engaging, but they are doing so into so much CC. Mundo is going
to have to take the brunt of OMG, once again, and hope that
Lucian/Khazix is able to do most of the work, as Zilean is going to
have a rough time and probably be stuck bombing Mundo. If SHR can
get an early lead anywhere, they should back off and take dragon
before Corki's power-spike sets in. Generate some early gold to get
Mundo into an item. Honestly, going to be a rough match for SHR.
Game
Notes -
I feel
that this game is going to be decided by either the top laner or the
duo lane.
OMG are
able to get a three buff start. SHR did not need to give this up,
however they likely assumed that SHR started at their red buff.
SHR's
duo is dominating OMG's duo.
OMG
move to 5 man SHR's blue when Mundo's TP is down. OMG take the
fight, but make a crucial mistake by not killing Lucian and turning
on him when he resurrects. Instead of letting it be a 1 for 0 or 2
for 0, the fight goes 2-1 in OMG's favor, but Lucian is able to grab
First Blood.
OMG
catch out Zilean when he leaves lane, Twisted Fate ultimate coming up
huge again.
SHR
make a 3 man dive onto bot lane, but with just the Nami bubble, its
not enough to quickly secure a kill. OMG TP and ultimate in, turning
the fight into a 4v4 when Zilean joins as well. The whole event
backfires and OMG are the ones who end up getting a kill.
OMG
take a free dragon, being ahead and at a power-spike with Corki.
TF and
Maokai get a catch on Zilean, SHR collapse and a small fight breaks
out that goes 1 for 1, but it does let Lee Sin steal SHR's blue buff.
OMG are
in complete control of this game. With a gold lead and with many
more tools in their pocket than SHR.
OMG get
some more picks and a small fight near the bottom T2 turret. OMG get
2 kills, and Lee Syndrome kicks in to give SHR 1. SHR do rush and
get dragon after this though, a good play.
I was
wrong about this game being decided by top/bot. Twisted Fate is the
one controlling this game.
OMG
start to run their 4-1 split-push, with Twisted Fate working to chip
down turrets.
SHR try
to engage a fight at the mid T2 turret while Twisted Fate takes
bottom, but they can't quite get the fight they want, and OMG
disengage and then turn around to take the fight themselves.
Not
sure what SHR can do at this point. They don't have any tools to be
coming back from behind. I'd almost want to see Lucian pick up a
vampiric scepter and just split-push. Otherwise, they just have to
hope for a rotation mistake by OMG and a pick, or a team-fight at
Baron. Hell even an insane 5 man push on the bot lane totally
ignoring OMG and going for a base trade would be worthwhile.
Standard play is just going to get SHR a loss at this point.
OMG
have the opportunity to 5 v 1 push the middle inhibitor for SHR but
instead chase Zilean for days.
The
game is pretty boring and has been for awhile. OMG are slowly
winning and have almost nothing to fear. There is no more tension in
this match.
End
Game Notes -
This
game was pretty boring. SHR's team composition really dictated their
loss. They had almost 0 tools to use in this match. Unlike the
previous match where Mundo was great, it was with Lulu, and it was
into a team that had little lock-down and no front-line. The plan
was no where near as good as it was into OMG's previous team.
What
Star Horn Royal should have done -
Not
pick Zilean. He's been bad in every role in most games. Having
Zilean, as noted by the casters, they picked their mid lane too early
and the Twisted Fate counter-pick really made Zilean useless in this
match. In fact, if SHR had not prioritized Zilean, SHR could have
picked up Thresh.
Inside
of the game, SHR had to get an early lead and keep it. Their team
had so very few tools for doing anything and only 1 champion who had
hard CC. I hate to say it was a loss form champion select, but it
really was. SHR set themselves up for failure. Weaker pick
potential, weaker poke, weaker engage and disengage, weaker play
potential, weaker team-fight. The only thing they have going for
them, is some very, very minor late-game scaling potential.
I'd
like to have seen SHR say, screw it, we are in trouble, lets do
something crazy. Go for the super fast/deep push and 4 man a lane
swap all the way to the inhibitor turret from the start. SHR had to
do something early, as they really got a bad game from champion
select.
Going
forward, I'd say ban out Twisted Fate, or at least plan to
counter-pick him (a rougher task on blue side). Get rid of him, pick
up a strong early-game team in all lanes, and get that early lead
that SHR know how to win with.
