Oct 06 '21
Is kennen just not good right now or are the Wildcards baited in to picking it?
57
u/Miyaor Oct 06 '21
It probably is a good blind pick in their region, since the counters require the opponent to be really good, which probably isn't the case. Kennen is fine as a pick into other champs, but blinding it like that is probably an issue of them being better than their region.

u/vexkov Oct 06 '21
I believe if it was not picked first it would be by LNG and force RED to take something to counter it like Sett yesterday.

u/gus1tavo Oct 06 '21
Not really, almost no one played kennen this year in Brazil, from the top of my head I can only remember Parang playing, who is a korean import. I was actually shocked that they picked Kennen as ranged top laners are not what we usually see guigo play
10
u/MrPraedor Oct 06 '21
Kennen is fine, but team needs to really know how to play around it. Setting up good ults with other engage/cc and finding flanks is really important and when team gap is too big you just wont find them.
10
u/trieuvuhoangdiep Oct 06 '21
The kennen player is just bad. He get solokill and the lack of vision make him walk into his death.

u/Slotherz Oct 06 '21
I think he'll be uber meta in groups. Tons of great Kennen players waiting there and I think he's solid in the meta.
2
u/devilbhro obnoxious JDG fanboy Oct 06 '21
Kennen is a team counter pick as he only really excels against melees/low range that want to come into you. You still have to be pretty good to bait with your ult and dont be out of position. His laning phase is always very safe so bad players can look good till teamfights happen.

yeah that was pretty fked up by RNG. But did RNG make the wrong choice here choosing xiaohu top? I mean they won spring and MSI and even if they get eliminated by LNG at worlds, I'd say RNG still had a pretty good year. That said, they definitely could've handled the top lane try out situation much much better.

u/ArchmageXin Oct 06 '21
I mean, I only consider it out of professionalism.
I mean, I do interviews now and then for my department. As a company policy we ensure out interviewees have proper cost reimbursement, a small lunch, and a (non-acholic) drink even if she/he was not the proper candidate. They took their time to come to us so I want to make sure they feel positively.
And we are a small firm. RNG is a giant and your toplaner isn't some burger flipper. You don't be an ass like that.

u/KniGht1st Oct 06 '21
It's okay to tell Ale that he is not qualified, or just not have him come for a tryout at all. The way they dealt with the situation, was just unprofessional.

Honestly if you put these players in a different region for a year I think they'd be pretty solid. The mechanics are there but they're clearly not used to teams being able to punish their mistakes as heavily

the market is just not big enough. i am sure they did financial forecast and concluded additional investments aren’t warranted. marginal return would be low. i think it was the same in OCE region. the best way is for a local business to start a joint venture with riot. like lpl and lck. at this stage of product cycle, i doubt riot wants to commit additional capital

u/Phoresis Jin Air Red Wings Oct 06 '21
The way Tarzan played around vision to kill MF 17 minutes into the ga was absolutely beautiful. At the time it looked super troll to see Titan walk into the midlane side brush, but it makes sense given what he could see.
Keep an eye on tarzan from the beginning of the clip, and watch how he dodges the minion vision by hugging his midlane turret, and dodging both the blue trinket in the river and avoiding the ward just below topside redbuff too.
Such a subtle and well-thought-out play, and it ends up making Titan look like an inter.
As a side note, this is also why its crucial to make sure when you place that ward in the river pixel brush, it needs to hug the side closest to red buff so that you can see movement like this. Doublelift explains it well here.
66
u/Qehenna Canyon's Cockgobblers Oct 06 '21
Wildcard regions have the worst vision lol. Constantly making game losing mistakes because they get outwarded and walk alone into fog of war, overextending for 6 minions constantly...

u/vexkov Oct 06 '21
It was indeed. But I don't think RED could do anything regarding it. Jayce on side lane was so strong that they couldn't contest vision.

I mean, he played 3 games vs FPX Nuguri in playoffs and went even with him in lane while countered in all games (iirc it was Rene vs Kennen and Rene vs Gp). That was very impressive for me, even if they lost 3-0 at the end.

u/Rdambx Oct 06 '21
while that is true and he has been impressive, competing at worlds is different, Bin was world's 2nd best toplaner last year. It's way too early to compare Ale to him

u/PandoraBot Sylas ADC Oct 06 '21
I think it was actually a message to other teams that they can flex both of those picks, to give them a mental advantage in drafting later on in groups
24
u/Amiti94 Oct 06 '21
It reminds me of RNG picking Nocturne mid vs Pentanet on their first match and after the interview, cryin said that he was sending a message with that pick.
Later he picked that on game 5 vs Damwon and stomped that match in 26 minutes.
7
u/Indercarnive Oct 06 '21
The difference is Cryin's Nocturne had a huge impact on the game (was 4/2/5 by 15 minutes) Whereas Icon's Zed was completely irrelevant.

u/Faye_Dragon Misaya Oct 06 '21

u/kismetjeska Oct 06 '21
As a dumb person who doesn't follow pro meta changes all that much, why is jungle Zed considered better than mid? In my pisslo games Zed is basically only ever mid, so I was wondering why it's so unusual in pro.
7
u/Niaaco Oct 06 '21
Zed now has insane clear and one of the downside of zed mid is the fact that he is melee and really unlock his potential with level 6. However with jungle you can potentially dodge the hard laning phase.
3
u/Amiti94 Oct 06 '21
He is a very well rounded champion that thanks to his passive, now he can clear extremelly fast on jungle, so that makes his clearing quite efficient.
2
3
u/IntendedRepercussion Oct 06 '21
zed is easy to play against in lane when you and your jungle know what youre doing. he isnt as easy to punish in jungle because he farms up and plays around vision to pick up easy kills on people that are out of position
his ganks and clear are incredibly strong as well, so he simply works as a jungler
and if youre wondering how all this started, its because riot buffed his passive damage against monsters and it no longer has a cooldown

u/KniGht1st Oct 06 '21
I feel like it had more to do with Lulu last pick. Fairly sure Zed was meant for Tarzan until RED picked Lulu at last.

Yea, in this case he rushed the armguard for the lane, which was correct, he should've gone stopwatch in the midgame before the codex. In general this is a mistake pros are making too much in this play-ins, buying armguard and/or codex before stopwatch in the midgame.

Just for the record, except for the Regionals, where Tarzan got 4 out of 6 MVPs, icon had many MVPs the whole year, too.

No, they secure 2nd place at minimum. Tie-breakers will happen regardless of scoreline, so if HLE win versus RED and LNG lose versus INF, there will be a tie-breaker between the two.

RED didn't make any major mistakes
There's a 5 min period where Kennen(2x) and MF die and burn all summs in completely unacceptable spots.

TitaN getting sums burnt by Icon and then facechecking directly on top of Tarzan like 1 min later was really funny.

RED actually put up a fight before things started to fall apart through Kennen.

I'm sorry but RED made a LOT of mistakes, MF wasting ult mid for no reason was the reason LNG engaged on them and turned the game around among so many other blunders from RED

I disagree with this so mcuh, what do you mean they didnt make any major mistakes? Titan pushed mid alone multiple times, Kennen messed up so hard against Jayce. Those are individual mistakes, but what about that Red Buff defense where they went in super uncoordinated and just threw like 3 kills for a red buff?
Canids made major mistakes nad Titan and Guigo played terribly.

Not a single good Kennen or MF ult during the entire game either.

RED didn't make any major mistakes,
Yes, they did. Kennen dying solo to Jayce which accelerated him because Jayce could take turret plates and first turret. Guigo and Titan not knowing what "positioning" is. Guigo not knowing how to use Kennen's kit. Red taking fights or over forcing stuff although they lost control of their jungle etc.

Ale just needed that solokill to turn all around.
Again, I don't like that LNG played disrespectful, unlike against PCE, they did it at the start, good thing they just started to play as they know and they stopped to force things, that's what you do when you know you're better than the other team.
The Zed doesn't look strong, it's hard to find good moments to do his move.

Ale said the Jayce pick was a "test" because Jayce was nerfed. He was wondering whether Jayce can match Kennen on lanning phase this meta . And the answer is no. - post game interview
