Lane
Match-ups – Samsung Blue
Top -
Kayle
can easily bully Akali in this match-up, keeping her way down
throughout the match. Even if she tries to stealth, Kayle can get
incidental damage onto her through his splash auto attack. Kayle
should look to push hard, deal the damage he can, and keep Akali
back. As level 6 hits, Kayle should back off to base, and make sure
he comes to lane with a pink ward. Fighting Akali heads up will be
difficult, as her burst is pretty strong, however a well timed
Intervention can change the outcome of the fight. If Kayle does not
have a pink ward though, he will lose fights at level 6 for sure.
The outcome of this lane is really going to be determined by how big
of an item/exp advantage Kayle can gain before Akali reaches level 6.
Mid -
Yasuo
against Jayce is a rough match-up. Yasuo is going to have to be very
tricky with his dashes, using a creep to get close to Jayce and then
dashing to Jayce after the knock-back. Yasuo is going to be hard
pressed to pull this off though, especially without taking so much
damage that he simply can't fight. Yasuo will most likely have to
wait until 6 to make any real moves, relying on his ultimate for the
engagement and then dashing for the follow-up. If he can get in for
the all-in though, Yasuo should be able to win the fight.
Bot -
This
bot lane combo confuses me very much. There isn't much synergy and
it seems that Zilean is just picked for being Zilean. SSB's duo can
attempt to harass, timing double bombs with Varus Q/E for maximum
effect, blowing up Janna shield before it can be used and doing a
quick in and out trade combo. However, it is harder than it sounds.
As the lanes progress, it will get even worse. Janna ultimate should
be able to heal through a lot of the DPS that Varus can do after the
burst, while Twitch will be able to easily assassinate Varus the
moment Twitch picks up his BotRK. All in all, its going to be a
rough time for SSB, without any real power-spikes showing up in the
2v2.
Jungle
-
Lee Sin
is going to want to to put a bit of focus on ganking for top and mid
in this match-up. Lee Sin's natural reveal will be huge for ganking
Akali, while at level 6 his synergy with Yasuo will pretty much
guarantee kills against Jayce. An early Sight Stone will be amazing
for keeping track of Rengar.
Lane
Match-ups – Samsung White
Top -
Akali
is going to have a rough time early against Kayle, but if she can
survive to level 6, then she stands a much better chance. Without
any solid CC, Kayle cannot stop the damage that Akali is able to put
out, or even escape. The downside is Intervention and Akali may have
to draw it out before fully committing to an engagement. Akali is
going to have to play safe, and get what CS she can. If she is able
to get any kind of lead, then she will be able to dominate Kayle once
level 6 is reached. Timing engagements, as Kayle's ranged buff ends
will be huge, especially before he is able to reach 90%+ up-time.
Mid -
Jayce
should be able to control the flow of the mid lane in this match-up.
Yasuo does not have too much that he can do, with Jayce able to poke,
trade damage, and knock-back Yasuo when he tries to engage. Farm,
harrass, and win lane. Jayce should only need to worry once level 6
hits, and then his two concerns will be dodging knock-up from Yasuo
and Lee Sin ganks.
Bot -
Twitch/Janna
should have solid control over this lane, even from level 1. Twitch
can immediately start to bully Varus with Janna shield, able to get
several stacks of poison before Varus can respond with his Q. The
only worry that Twitch/Janna are going to have in this lane, is
getting poked by Varus. Provided they can dodge or sustain through
it (which will happen when Twitch gets his Bilgewater Cutlass) they
should have almost nothing to fear in this 2v2. Once Twitch reaches
assassination status with BotRK, the matches tilts even farther as
Varus has no way to escape Twitch and cannot out damage him.
Jungle
-
Rengar
is going to want to focus on farming to 6 as quickly as possible.
His top and bottom lane should be very safe, while Akali is going to
have to play safe, and a gank would yield little results. Once 6
though, Rengar can make use of it anywhere, with high damage and weak
escape in every lane. Any one of them would be a good option.
Team
Composition/Strategy – Samsung Blue
*Win
Condition - Teamfight 5v5 and be on point with the Kayle and Zilean
ultimates. Do not get split up, do not double ultimate someone. Do
not fall behind.
Samsung
Blue's team is super super squishy and lacks mobility, especially
against SSW's team composition. This team composition is going to
have to bring themselves together fairly early to avoid getting
picked off in 1's or on small groups. This team has a huge huge huge
skill cap and the tiniest of windows for error. Two save your life
ultimates, only 1 knock-up synergy for Yasuo (though it is one of the
best) and then an immobile ADC who is also terrible at dueling.
Varus is the only disengage for SSB, but he can't disengage against a
Rengar. Rengar will be able to leap in range to snare, even if in
full vision. This is going to be a rough match for SSB, because of
how much mobility, stick, and pick potential that SSW have. SSB are
going to have to be really on point with their ultimates this game,
and not lose the game early, or else they will have almost no chance
of coming back.
Team
Composition/Strategy – Samsung White
*Win
Condition – Pull SSB apart and get picks in the early to mid-game.
Get a small lead and siege as five or get leads in every lane and
just force SSB to defend multiple targets until they leave themselves
vulnerable.
Samsung
White have a much stronger composition going into this match. They
have poke over SSB, which is huge because SSB lack any strong
engagement tools. They also just, out-match all of SSB's champions
with their own, except for maybe Kayle vs. Akali, and Yasuo only in
combination with Lee Sin. There is so much pick potential on SSW
that they should really be relying on that. Rengar and Twitch alone
offer hurt catch in rotations and lanes and jungle, especially
against Varus. If SSW can also get Akali going, she will be able to
stick to and kill members of SSB, who have no peel, and only 1 CC.
This game is really in SSW's hands, and all they have to do is keep
away from the 5v5 fight until they are ahead.
Game
Notes -
SSB try
to take SSW's red buff, but are unable to as Janna is roaming with
the jungle/top combo.
A duel
in mid ends with traded summoners and no kills, Yasuo is forced back,
Jayce has to Flash. Slight CS edge to Jayce over this.
SSW
take the dragon for free since they have the numbers advantage from
the lane swap.
SSB
push the top turret, looking to swap back into the 1v1 top laners as
there is a decent lead on Kayle. Both SSB and SSW take a turret.
Flash
ultimate by Varus is a little impatient and gains nothing for it.
Both
teams send the duo middle, and the mid laners bottom.
SSB
have done a great job with the lane swap and rotations to keep Akali
way down.
SSB and
SSW skirmish on bot lane, Lee Sin/Yasuo against Rengar/Jayce with
more coming in after. Unfortunately, SSB overlap Exhaust and
ultimates, making Exhaust worthless. SSW play the fight so well, and
once the Intervention is down, SSW burst down Yasuo and Janna moves
in to force SSB to run. SSW get 2 kills for 0, and Dragon. This
lets Akali buy a Bilgewater Cutlass to the Hextech Revolver she had
before.
Twitch/Janna
get the assassinate drop on Varus, even right next to his tower.
Zilean gets off the ultimate, but ends up getting killed by not just
backing up.
SSW
head top, and make a dive/fight in between turrets. With Zilean and
Varus ultimate down, SSW are able to weave in and out to outplay SSW.
Lee Sin kicks Twitch, but Yasuo is not ready for it and does not
ultimate.
SSW are
way ahead, especially for their team composition. All SSW need to do
now take objectives, and split up to force bad map rotations out of
SSB.
SSW do
try for a somewhat consolidated team fight, but it goes 1 for 1.
Almost went worse but Janna's ultimate heals a giant amount for SSW.
SSW get Dragon.
Yasuo
gets an amazing ultimate that nets his team a kill and lots of damage
onto SSW, however the rest of the fight goes bad and SSW goes 3 for
1.
SSW
take Baron for free.
SSB
should just go do something ridiculous. And push in a place that SSW
won't expect, like.... sneak down the bot lane into the bushes and
then rush towards SSW's inhibitor. Trade objectives, or draw SSW
back into a fight where SSB is the one pushing.
SSW are
taking a bit of extra time for this match. They look to be trying to
demoralize SSB.
Keep
watching if you want to see more stomp.
End
Game Notes -
Stomp a
lomp a domp domp.
SSB's
composition just could not handle any mistakes, and they made a few
of them.
What
Samsung Blue should have done.
Not
picked a composition that was hinging on a the head of a pin. They
played well at the start, even keeping Akali down, but all it took
was one play to go in SSW's favor, and they gained the momentum they
need to take out SSB's composition. The mechanical skill level for
this composition, was honestly almost inhuman and without being able
to pull that off, there was no synergy, or even any protection for
this team.
Going
forward, Samsung Blue should just regroup, and go back to one of
their more standard compositions and one that doesn't require TAS
level skill.
Oh, and
realize that SSW will probably be banning out your top laner, the
Maokai/Rumble bans are a good showcase, and banning out that Ryze was
really hurtful to SSB.
Also,
drop the Zilean and drop the Varus >.>'
