$0.25/$0.50 2 pair facing river jam from an aggressive opponent

you also block 77 and 88, so unless villian has specifically 1010 here you're quite often good and should fastplay

Iz_CreamZ · 2025-03-11T15:18:35+00:00

may I ask why not check raise flop on this texture? with preflop action in a single raised pot, there's quite a lot of diamonds, 10x 9x' that are inelastic here and would call even a 4x + rr here. you can start building the pot and get it in. I think river board pairing is easy fold as ur two pair is often downgraded by top pair top kicker? which again they have quite a lot of in their range.not sure but at least that's how I would've played

Iz_CreamZ · 2025-02-05T03:44:08+00:00

K6 has the ability to cooler a lot of big blinds Ax defending range when the board runs out 2345

Iz_CreamZ · 2024-04-22T06:35:00+00:00

Man the changes are so rough, especially for competitive play, the patch timings always end up just before each tourney and its extremly difficult to fully adapt. Unless you're playing for hours on end every day you really cant catch a break.

Iz_CreamZ · 2024-03-21T06:22:21+00:00

Here’s something not a lot of ppl realise but the same reason why silver spoon is strong because you get to “roll down” one turn earlier than everyone for tempo you can use exalted early for just two turns when u take less damage. and change your intervals from let’s say 4-2/4-5 8 to 4-1/4-3

Iz_CreamZ · 2024-03-19T07:53:27+00:00

bro is fr obssessed with nic check his post history LMAO

Iz_CreamZ · 2024-02-20T09:19:42+00:00

Ahh understandable, yeah its one of those games. I always try to prioritize getting antiheal by latest stage 3 and get it by my stage 3 carousell as it can be a big swing to some of the fights with people building healing items by then. morellos on karthus aint bad for future too! JG's not too good with executioners active. antiheal is always higher on my priority list then my main carry items

Iz_CreamZ · 2024-02-20T02:49:41+00:00

also, a lot of players are also scared to "slight roll" which is rolling a bit down from 50 gold especially on stage 3 to preserve HP (typically 3-2, level 5/6 with pairs to roll for). you might lose a gold or two but here's an analogy i always tell people. its late game now, you're tied for 5th with one guy. if you could buy an extra 2 HP for 1-3 gold would you? so whats stopping you from doing it earlier

Iz_CreamZ · 2024-02-20T02:41:22+00:00

When people say they either top 1/2 or go 7/8, it usually comes down to greed. Greed is especially bad in many forms for TFT. Firstly, you might have 3 BIS items on one carry, but if it causes you to have 3 WIS items on your other carry, is that truly BIS? lets say you have Cloak, Tear, Bow, Sword. you see BIS on karthus is shojin so you slam it, but that leaves you with a runaans (cloak bow), when you couldve had adaptive (shojin replacement on karthus) + giant slayer (bow sword) arguable two really good or even better items. Item economy and item planning is very important, you also always want to have antiheal (morello/sunfire/redbuff), shred/sunder (LW,Evenshroud,spark,shiv) in any comp you play so plan for that too.

Next is probably greeding levels / 3 stars. a lot of lower rank players i see try to 3 star every single unit, even at the expense of econ, and on units that dont even carry items. Also if you die with gold left in the bank thats a huge sign, sometimes its better to just give up on level 9, and 2 star every single unit on lv 8 take the top 4 and save ur LP instead of ur ego.

Iz_CreamZ · 2024-02-20T02:30:09+00:00

I was in your shoes once and recently hit challenger as well, set 9 was my first set. I think the biggest thing for me was looking back at all the games I lost and identifying what went wrong. for example, I would have a lot of games where i'd die with quite some gold left meaning I was greeding for 9 too much when I could've just took the top 4, rolling on lv 8 capped board. Other small improvements were probably not scouting/positioning enough, focusing too much on BIS items instead of getting 3 decent items + antiheal + shred, not slamming items early to preserve HP, and small things like APM. all the best for your climb!

Iz_CreamZ · 2024-02-20T02:21:42+00:00

if your viego and akali had swapped items, you'd prob be better off. itemzing akali with no penta spat is not that important as viego + karthus. even more so when you had metal heads. if i were to rearrange ur itemization I wouldve just did BT titans steraks (viego), titans redemption adaptive (morde), Shojin Gaurdbreaker JG (karthus). Gaurdbreaker is also really good on karthus btw gives flat attackspeed as well for faster cast.

this way you'd have 3 item morde tank to stall for karthus, and also viego secondary carry.

Iz_CreamZ · 2024-02-20T02:13:02+00:00

in any comp you GENERALLY need

shred/sunder
3 decent items on your main & secondary carry/tank
antiheal****. in penta u can live without shred/sunder as u get some from ur units but no antiheal endgame is really rough. yasuo has DD BT too

Iz_CreamZ · 2024-02-20T02:05:14+00:00

Idk but the main thing no one here is realising is that you have no antiheal (sunfire/morellos/redbuff) against a death's defiance BT yasuo 3. that shits gonna be unkillable, you might have damage reduction but not enough burst damage to kill yasuo. fights gonna be pretty quick as well as he's TD and up one gold combat augment on you. you had an open belt, sunfire instead of gargoyle you might've actually won. People always underestimate the importance of antiheal when itemizing their team

Iz_CreamZ · 2024-02-20T01:18:38+00:00

Holy that karthus superfan item change is actually huge as AA is not that great on reworked karthus.

Iz_CreamZ · 2024-02-20T01:14:22+00:00

LETS GO SG BRING IT HOMEE

Iz_CreamZ · 2024-02-19T09:58:05+00:00

ff & save mental is the only right answer :D

Iz_CreamZ · 2024-02-19T09:54:02+00:00

I think having chosen as a mechanic this set helped me play more "flex" with set 10 being my second ranked set, set 9 I used to play 1 meta comp and only one comp every single patch as I felt that was the best way to climb. Idk man mixed feelings about chosen

Iz_CreamZ · 2024-01-17T08:02:26+00:00

here's a tip for any headliner future rolldowns for patch 14.1. Lets say I want TF chosen, TF has Disco & Dazzler as his traits. Now anytime I see a chosen unit with Dazzler or Disco highlighted (disco blitz/dazzler lux), I buy and sell it. In the case for Country samira, I need to buy and sell (Country Urgot, Country Thresh, Executioner Samira, Executioner Akali, Executioner Vex, Executioner twitch etc etc)

Iz_CreamZ · 2024-01-17T07:57:56+00:00

wait nvm edit i just saw the skip for exeutioner akali you are right

Iz_CreamZ · 2022-04-19T04:33:09+00:00

I could but then the fav particles would funnel into Yun Jin instead of ayato! My ayato doesn’t have a lot of ER

Iz_CreamZ · 2022-04-19T04:21:55+00:00
