Lane
Match-ups – Samsung White
Top -
Rumble
should be fine, if not stronger in this lane match-up, but it will be
close. Rumble can bully Mundo early, getting good slows and
flamethrowers, however as the lane progresses it will be harder for
Rumble to bully Mundo, especially when Spectre's Cowl comes into
play. Rumble should look to bully as much as he can, and transition
into a stronger mid-game before Mundo can take over the lane.
Mid -
Talon
is a great pick against Jayce, able to get in and deal a ton of burst
damage, circumventing the poke of Jayce and forcing the fights. On
top of this, Talon deals almost all his damage up front, preventing
Jayce from stopping the engagement with his knock-back. Talon will
have to wait until level 6 to really hit solid trades/all-ins,
however with his general build of Crystalline Flask, he should be
safe to farm in lane and sustain through the poke of Jayce. At 6,
Talon should be looking to all-in and use his ultimate as often as
possible against Jayce, even if it only gets him some damage and not
the kill, it should be plenty to push Jayce out of lane or put him on
the defensive.
Bot -
Twitch/Janna
are going to want to look for the 2v1, as they will lose the 2v2.
Twitch's harassment ability is much weaker than Corki's while just
one Thresh hook or flay can really push SSW's duo out of the lane.
If SSW do try to fight the 2v2, Janna is going to need to be on her
game with protecting Twitch. Using shields to block some of Corki's
harassment and well timed Tornado's to stop Thresh from creating
engagements. SSW will come out behind in the 2v2, but at the very
least they should be able to get some CS to stay alive.
Jungle
-
Rengar
should once again look to heavy farm and reach level 6. In this
match-up however, Mundo presents a juicy target, especially with the
damage potential of Rumble. If possible, find the gank or even the
tower dive onto Mundo around the level 2/3 mark and keep him down,
letting Rumble get an item or two before Mundo picks up his MR. At
6, Rengar should switch his attention to mid lane, taking out Jayce
with Talon, or alternately looking to help out the weaker bot lane,
now that Twitch has his strong ultimate.
Lane
Match-ups – Star Horn Royal Club
Top -
Mundo
is going to get a bit bullied early one, Rumble having high sustained
damage from the get go. Mundo however, should be safe enough to get
his farm, or even just cleaver farm if necessary. As the lane
progresses, Mundo will have an easier and easier time, especially
when level 6 and first items come into play. Spectre's Cowl and
Spirit Visage will give Mundo an edge against Rumble and he will then
be able to start bullying Rumble in the lane.
Mid -
Jayce
is in for a rough time against Talon. While Jayce can poke Talon and
hit him from range, Talon's damage is completely front-loaded so that
Jayce will be unable to prevent any of it with a knock-back. Up
until level 6, Jayce should still be able to fight Talon, and even
win some trades, but once Talon get's 6, his damage is just going to
be too quick and too much burst for Jayce to be able to deal with.
At this point Jayce should just give up the lane and long range farm
with Shock Blasts while stacking up his tear and preparing for
team-fights.
Bot -
Corki/Thresh
can dominate this bot lane and should use early wards to find their
duo opponents. In the lane, Corki can offer strong harassment
against Twitch while Thresh can put on the kill pressure. Level 2
will offer the greatest strenght for them and should be rushed, with
Thresh immediately going for the flay/hook on either Janna or Twitch.
Follow them around the map and force the 2v2, using the early/mid
game power to keep SSW's duo behind.
Jungle
-
Khazix
should look to farm till 6, picking up his spike rack so that his
team has an easier time spotting out Twitch and Rengar and stopping
their engagement. Early on Khazix should look to protect Mundo as he
is a very juicy target for SSW. When Talon hits 6, it might be wise
to wait mid for him to try to all-in Jayce and then counter-gank,
however he must be wary of Rengar if he is 6 already. Even if Mundo
does not get ganked, he will be able to provide solid support against
Rumble, so long as Khazix/Mundo are not low and can kill Rumble
through his damage.
Team
Composition/Strategy – Samsung White
*Win
Condition – Take the huge mid-game power-spike to Dragon control
and force through SHR. Outside of dragon, find picks and skirmishes
in the mid-game, especially in the jungle. Hard engage if SHR try to
siege.
SSW
have a great team to fight against the siege/wall power of SHR. SHR
try to play the composition that SSW have been dominating on, but SSW
already know how to destroy it. Talon and Rengar will dive in to
hard engage, Twitch will unload from a distance, and Rumble ultimate
will tear through and cut off SHR's team. SSW have countered this
siege wall composition with massive hard engagement. On top of the
hard engagement, their team is able to have great dragon control and
great ability to find picks in the jungle or in rotations and
assassinate targets. SSW will be looking to do these three things,
and throw themselves at SHR whenever possible
Team
Composition/Strategy – Star Horn Royal Club
*Win
Condition – Siege down SSW's team during the mid-game and the
late-game, disengage from SSW's hard engagement.
SHR are
playing a composition very similar to the one SSW has been running
and SSW are ready for it. SHR are going to have to play extremely
well to be able to overcome the hard engagement that SSW is playing
with. SHR should be ok in lane, minus Mundo, and can transition into
the siege/wall composition that SHR have. SHR will have to play to
their siege composition, however I would recommend that Khazix hold
onto his W whenever they do not have vision on Rengar, as that wide
area slow will be necessary for SHR to be able to disengage. Also
key will be vision on the sides of whatever area they are pushing as
a team.
Game
Notes -
The
ward that SSW walk over allows Twitch to pull off a lane freeze where
as Corki does not. Does not really lead to anything.
SHR are
able to get Twitch into the 2v2 lane after a bit of work.
Rumble
sense tingle and he checks the lane bush, saving his life.
A ward
spots Talon out, and it lets SHR's duo escape, and then go aggressive
right after, pushing Twitch away from lane.
Not
much has happened so far, but now the ultimates are going to come in.
A 3v3
starts in bot lane, both top laners moving down and both mid laners
having to run to the fight. The whole fight goes 5 for 4 in SSW's
favor but First Blood to SHR.
From
Start to Finish -
Talon
is in the river before Jayce, Jayce cannot really fighting Talon 1v1
right now, so Talon has the lead.
Rengar
opens up on Khazix, stops the counter-gank, but I think it would have
been a better opener on Corki or Thresh, closer to Rengar's duo lane.
Both
TP's come in, and Janna/Twitch get pincered.
Rumbles
ult goes across four and deal a lot of damage
SHR
chase, get the 2 kills onto the duo, but now Talon is here.
Talon
ultimates for the speed, flashes and then does his silence port,
allowing his ultimate to come spinning back into all 3 members of
SHR. (very key)
SSW are
able to get 3 kills here, but are now low themselves.
Jayce
comes in and they get Talon, Rengar gets away because of creep
blocking.
SHR
split targets instead of focusing Rumble. They do get Rengar, but
Rumble gets 2.
The two
major points are, Rengar starting on Khazix is bad. And then the
second is SHR splitting the focus at the very end.
SSW
make a very sloppy dive on Mundo up top, and Mundo is able to delay
for a kill, but Rengar beats Khazix top and the fight goes 2 for 1 in
SSW's favor. Misplay by SSW not killing the turret, and by SHR for
chasing too far.
A great
Janna ultimate heals up Twitch and separates Corki away from Thresh.
Prevents a ton of damage onto Twitch and heals back so much.
SSW are
starting to take over and are creating skirmishes. SSB should not be
fighting them, but should be turning into the team-fight at this
point in the match.
Janna
for the super save again.
SSW are
just running away with the game now, constantly creating small fights
and never letting SHR move to play their team composition properly.
One
thing to really take from this, is that SSW are ganking the strong
lane. Rumble gained a lot from the first big fight, and SSW return
to it shortly after as 3, not just 2.
The
Rumble ultimate on top totally missing Mundo was a little over
confident, cutting Mundo off but doing no damage.
SSW are
going to take a few towers, take baron, and then just hard dive down
middle with their hard hard engage team.
End
Game Notes -
It was
going well for SHR, however the moment that SSW hit their ultimates,
they make a huge play in the bot lane and do not let up. They
transition the strength that Rumble gained into the top lane and the
jungle and continue to find picks and skirmishes in the jungle and
lanes and grow a lead that cannot be stopped.
What
Star Horn Royal Club should have done -
Their
team composition was good, but it was one that SSW has been playing
for several games and they know the hard engage counter and play it
well. SHR needed a stronger disengage to stop them, say Nami or
Janna instead of Thresh.
In the
game, after that big first fight, SHR needed to come together and
start their 5 man siege, catch SSW off guard by sending all 5 middle
right after that fight and start the push/siege. You have to pull
SSW into your composition and not let them tear yours apart.
Going
forward, I'd like once again, to see jungle mass bans and Insec pull
out something crazy. Outside of that, pick a more aggressive team.
Tried the late-game, tried the siege, but they need to make a team
composition that can bring the hurt from 6 minutes on. Get out of
that lane as soon as possible.
