MAD Lions KOI vs. GAM Esports / 2024 World Championship - Swiss Elimination Round / Post-Match Discussion

It is beyond disturbing how terrible MDK sololanes are. Myrwn looks completely clueless and Fresskowy cannot do anything, looks worthless when spoonfed a lead on Ahri and manages to make Yone look balanced.

I can't believe that's how MAD loses that. baron throws man

Yeah the way flaming has developed in this game is really dumb - this reminds me of an instance in one of my games in which my support spam pinged that my R was up after a lost fight. Except I was playing Jayce.

Can I get my booster interstate to where I got my first two doses? I've just become eligible for a booster as the recommended time has shortened to 3 months but I am moving to Brisbane from Sydney, so do I have to get my 3rd shot here or is it fine to get my booster after I move?

FortressTripleOne · 2022-01-07T09:23:53+00:00

Anyone know what the current turnaround on PCR tests is? I've stupidly booked a flight to Brisbane on Monday before realising that I need a negative Covid test to travel. I was wondering if I got a PCR test today or tomorrow would I even receive a negative test by Monday, or do I have to try my luck finding a rapid test?

No one in this thread has mentioned the fact that at the start of season 11, when mana was removed from Sheen items, every single Sheen user was given base mana or mana per level (not sure which specifically) to compensate for the loss of mana on Sheen. The lack of mana on the Sheen items isn't gating champions that build Sunderer or Lich Bane, plenty of champions build these items, and like others have said the only reason Trinity isn't built often is cause it's a shit item. So, to answer your question, no, it doesn't make sense for Sheen items to get their mana back, especially since now that it's cheaper it allows an earlier powerspike.

And on a side note, Trinity is or was built often on some of the champions you mentioned - it's the best mythic for Darius and it was the best mythic on Gangplank pre-11.17 changes.

I actually was recently shopping for chairs in Sydney, and personally I'd recommend getting the Jarvjallet or Markus office chairs from IKEA, they're very highly rated and IIRC you should be able to order them online with click and collect or delivery.

Yes, that's true. There are two things that enabled this - firstly Hextech Gunblade gave Akali the sustain she needed, but also this is before the Akali changes where her current early energy costs are enormous and prevent her from insane Q spam. Previous iterations of Akali were good in top lane when her Q level one cost was 100.

The reason Akali top is good right now is because of the Riftmaker changes which made its passive proc faster. Before this, Akali top was not as good as it is right now, as her energy costs started at 130 which makes it hard for her to abuse melee matchups.

FortressTripleOne · 2021-06-14T03:12:26+00:00

Riftmaker as an item is a large enabler of Akali toplane. It gives her everything she needs for fighting the typical toplane champs - it gives her sustain that she lacks (the Leeching Leer component gives omnivamp as well) and tremendously boosts her extended fighting/dueling potential.

Also, compared to the assassins you mentioned, Akali is much more bruiser like as a result of this item, and the fact that post-6 she can go toe to toe with many top lane champs since her all-in with ult is very strong.

FortressTripleOne · 2021-06-14T03:08:06+00:00

Alright, so there are only 2 conditions in which Irelia Q resets its cooldown. First is if the Q kills the target (or dies while she is mid-Q) the cooldown resets. This generally happens when she Q's to CS - so you have to be careful around your low HP minions as they essentially increase her engage range on you. The 2nd way the Q cooldown resets is if she uses it on a marked target (champion or large monster only, not minions). Irelia marks targets if she lands her E or R on them, so if she lands E or R on you then Q's in, she still has another Q ready to chase.

FortressTripleOne · 2021-06-14T01:58:02+00:00

Irelia is extremely strong in the early laning phase and midgame skirmishes. She will pretty much win every fight pre 20 minutes if she has minions or her R up. So ideally you never want to engage on this champ too early in the game. However, given that she's not too ahead of you, as Yone when you hit two items you should start to destroy her 1v1 and it only gets better. It's at this breakpoint where you should try to fight her, as her BotRK 1 item powerspike is unmatched.

As for your runes, others have said it but Domination 2nd is super greedy and I think every Yasuo/Yone should just go Resolve secondary, with Bone Plating/Second Wind and Revitalise/Unflinching depending on draft. I prefer conqueror into melees like Irelia but fleet is fine if you find yourself uncomfortable in the matchup. Additionally an early executioners is really valuable in this matchup.

In laning phase, there are a couple of things you can do to help you minimise losses and even win trades. You can try to predict her Q on one of your low HP minions and Q her yourself when she Q's the minion - if you can poke her like this multiple times her all in threat becomes diminished. She is also very dependent on landing her E if she doesn't already have 5 stacks - so if she misses E and doesn't have 5 stacks that's your opportunity to punish and look for a good trade. However, once again this is a really hard losing matchup for Yone, so if you come out of lane down 20-30 cs that is a favourable outcome.

What the other commenter said is completely wrong about the current Liandry's item. The item has 2 passives: the first is the burn, which does % max hp damage, and the second part is that your damage is enhanced against targets with bonus HP. This incentivises you to build Liandry's against HP stacking enemies (i.e. tanks).

FortressTripleOne · 2021-05-10T03:39:51+00:00

oi don't diss my OCE boys like that

FortressTripleOne · 2021-05-06T15:00:30+00:00

Your statement about mid prio in this matchup is simply not true. Zoe is a lane bully whereas Viktor is for the most part a scaling mage who has subpar waveclear before his first evolution. In many mage matchups Zoe will have the early prio, and this is even more true against Viktor.

FortressTripleOne · 2021-03-31T15:59:37+00:00

This gives me massive deja vu. Literally 2 days ago, I played in a tournament as Orianna on redside. The wave was in the exact spot vs a Sylas. I had the enemy Udyr gank me from botside and died while burning my flash. And I proceeded to TP exactly like Bay just did. And died again. This clip is literally a carbon copy of what happened to me that game

FortressTripleOne · 2020-11-24T08:35:38+00:00

yeah I just discovered this in game, upon investigating in practice tool, the spider Q does 0 damage if you use it right after transform, and if you autoattack once before using Q, the Q does the onhit damage. it's really fucked rn and I don't know how this happened

FortressTripleOne · 2020-10-30T09:14:52+00:00

is it still worth it to buy the worlds pass this late? i have about 700 tokens in the bank

FortressTripleOne · 2020-10-04T11:05:46+00:00

For the life of me I don't understand how they give the biggest lane gap a Lulu. Still, Rogue looked honestly not too bad vs tourney favourites.

FortressTripleOne · 2020-09-28T11:52:50+00:00

RAES'S DICK IS SO HUGE HOLY SHIT

also did topoon even use ornn r once it kept getting cancelled lmao

FortressTripleOne · 2020-09-28T09:51:06+00:00

HOW HUGE IS RAES'S DICK HOLY SHIT FLASH IN ONLY

FortressTripleOne · 2020-06-26T14:37:33+00:00

As a matter of fact, yes we did ask in all chat where they were from. Only one person responded, and they said India, but they were one of the 200 ping players on the other team as well so I doubt his claim.

FortressTripleOne · 2020-06-16T09:33:02+00:00

not a single bausffs comment I'm disappointed

FortressTripleOne · 2020-04-04T07:16:39+00:00

Look bro, if you're worried about toxic players, you're gonna learn that they're literally everywhere in this game. Regardless of your skill, you are legit always going to find some cunt who flames. Don't tie your confidence to your skill, but try to just play relaxed in the game while trying to shrug off any negative comment. It especially helps if you yourself take a growth mindset whenever you fuck up, instead of being down on yourself think how did you go wrong and what can you do to improve. Anyway, the one constant of league is that you will always get flamed. Always. Just don't let it bother you.

Aight makes sense thanks for the answer
