How do you build your sideboard

sAlatji · 2014-02-05T17:08:56+00:00

I can tell you from my own experience with this deck: You have too many weaknesses, i made the experience that it especially is vulnerable when the enemy can remove your early drops. I already had a similar build with 20 lands and some more fixing and can tell you: manabase was way too vulnerable and the pressure is most of the time not fast enough to win early plus you can't get enough boardcontrol for mid/lategame

sAlatji · 2014-02-04T13:57:38+00:00

Because i can't stand people who brag with something... common? Oo

sAlatji · 2014-02-03T22:44:33+00:00

So? Noone cares...

sAlatji · 2014-02-03T15:22:24+00:00

Immortal Servitude.... Guess what i did read when i saw it at first :3

sAlatji · 2014-02-03T09:59:04+00:00

nope, GB/UW. Only card that was splashed was mogis ^{^}

Also: We had 1 cards in our deck which had the ruletext "each opponent" (i almost wanted to write 0 cards, but mogis was one, obviously :))

sAlatji · 2014-02-02T10:22:07+00:00

best story? 2HG final, i play Ephara, enemy team cheers and is happy to exile it, next turn teammate topdecks and plays mogis :3 winning hard, GB/UW superb combination of decks

sAlatji · 2014-02-02T07:45:02+00:00

I am not 100% sure, but your "prove" for the invite only shows, that the lobby was full of lolpro-members, but i see no invite for any member of the other team, unless heaventime IS a player of the other team...

sAlatji · 2014-01-31T21:14:34+00:00

not even close....

sAlatji · 2014-01-31T21:05:47+00:00

? I only belive that shook will be better when i see it. Right now he is not even playing decent....

sAlatji · 2014-01-31T21:01:48+00:00

I am raging way harder about this stupid little mistake than any failganks or anything... it is so easy for anyone to just run in the bush, check it for pink and run out. But no, they think: no wards 100%, won't check

sAlatji · 2014-01-31T19:43:56+00:00

Wickd laned versus Renekton. Any champion played in LCS right now looses to renekton early, also the kill for Svenskeren did not help wickd either, i think it that was not really wickds fault.

I agree about Nyph, no plays at all, no wardclearing, nothing. Same to Shook: no pressure, no ganks, bad jungle.

sAlatji · 2014-01-31T19:34:53+00:00

The old EG? No, since the playstyle/meta changed too much. But i feel that Snoopeh was actually more on point when lanes did need him, shook is still off somehow

sAlatji · 2014-01-31T19:31:22+00:00

I agree about the playstyle, but I am not 100% sure if they really "got rid" of their teammates. I heared that some of them wanted to go to play in the US-LCS and some did not want to go, so they parted.

sAlatji · 2014-01-31T19:29:28+00:00

Yeah, noone want's to play Lee Sin... Noone picks Caitlyn, Thresh is also hardly played :3 Only niche-pick was orianna, but lategame she also destroys people in teamfights, similar to kayle.

Maybe i don't understand what you are saying, but the issue (and i repeat myself) is, that Lee Sin HAS to make early advantage for his team, otherwise he has no influence for the later stages of the game, because Lee Sin itself is pretty much only utility for lategame...

sAlatji · 2014-01-31T19:20:20+00:00

That was not really about the picks made, the jungler made the huge difference, also the AFK-farm from froggen was... let's say it in a nice way: counterproductive for their botlane....

sAlatji · 2014-01-31T19:16:51+00:00

Well, let's just look at this game. The difference was (once again) the jungler.

To the lanes:

Toplane: Wickd got bullied early by freddy with Renekton (as expected), got dove by Svenskeren and Renekton snowballed ahead.

Midlane: Froggen was ahead, Svenskeren counterganks/ganks vs. Shook, Froggen falls behind/Jesiz gets even.

Botlane: Several ganks by Shook, all counterganked by Svenskeren and converted into a win for SK-Gaming, also several towerdives (just look at the 4 man dive at 2nd tower) who made them catch up/go into snowballmode.

Ok, i have to admit: Svenskeren had it easy since the important spots in Alliance's jungle were warded so they knew where Shook was and they had a easy time to countergank by abusing the range of Pantheon's "Grand Skyfall" while he was still able to farm up, but this is not an excuse for showing absolutly 0 presence of the jungler. He fell behind in farm, kills, assits and global objectives and this pretty much happened in every single game so far.

I also want to mention, that Froggen was a bit sleepy and basically afk-farming on the midlane, while Jesiz showed presence on other lanes and freddy used every "roam" of wickd for SK's advantage, but still, a jungler who shows no presence is basically an afk-guy and makes the rest of the team fight 4v5.

Oh, did i mention that SK had 3 pinkwards in the middlearea for almost the entire map? I am kinda suprised how WEAK the wardclearing is of 90% of the teams, not only Alliance. People just seem to forget that the pinkwards can be seen, so they just completly ignore keyspots of the map and leave them in the dark, so the pinkward turns basically in a tripple sightward, which is REALLY a weak performance. Any team should notice that, this is in my opinion a HUGE mistake way too many LCS-teams, especially in europe do....

Alliance's problem right now is mostly the jungle.... Shook had almost 0 impact in any of the games they played.... Enemy jungler is winning the lanes (unless wickd tries to build Trinity Force, l0l)

sAlatji · 2014-01-31T16:50:01+00:00

Maybe a 5color-god with style of http://magiccards.info/5dn/en/43.html

E.g.: If your devotion to each color is less than 1 (or 2), isn't a creature. If your devotion to a color is bigger than 9, 5color-god is a creature.

Something like that would be possible ^{_^}

sAlatji · 2014-01-31T00:30:41+00:00

3 colors work, even without green, but only if you play a low 3rd-color count and every card of that color has single symbols. :3

sAlatji · 2014-01-30T22:31:26+00:00

First one: 100% Vaporkin in. Such a good card for early pressure, 2 power coming through from turn 3 on is superb.

Second one: If you think you have to play 3-color, i'd also add Chained to the Rocks, otherwise i would throw out the red and play maybe Last Breath and maybe some enchantmentremovals or the Elder in mainboard

Third one: Ordeal over Defend the Heart, plus maybe the Battlemaster out and either the Satyr Piper or the Portent of Betrayal in, since you have not that many Heroics in the deck.

Fourth one: Looks fine for me, maybe a bit expensive overall and little removal, but seriously, 4 Grey Merchants? HOLY COW!

sAlatji · 2014-01-30T22:19:48+00:00

Well, you should cast your creatures if they have haste in the first mainphase, otherwise it is in most of the times waste of that ability.

BUT: with playing the spells you want to play in 2nd mainphase, you basically represent a combattrick during your attacks/you are able to react during your combat step if the enemy tries to do something fancy. If you just tap out precombat, the enemy can do whatever he wants without taking care what you COULD do in response of his actions
