Special thanks goes to Sugafly for going to PAX and donating some Sona skins for me to give out! Without him, none of you would have a shot at getting a skin from me!
Here’s the rules:
Post the play you liked most from the Season Two World Championships in the comments section below this post. If you want to be a winner include an email that works or your IGN so that I can contact you if you win. I don’t want things to get too crazy on here so I’m only going to look at the first 100 comments. This isn’t the only promotion I’ll be doing, so if you miss the first 100 comments, don’t lose hope!
Here’s an example of a play I liked. It was when Alex Ich got to play Eve for the first time and his team also ran Xin Zhao top, two rather abnormal picks for competitive play. They were slightly behind and going into a Baron fight. In an amazing feat of skill Xin and Lee both pounced on Ezreal as Evelynn came around the back side. They quickly erased Ezreal off the map and set their team up for some easy kills. If I would have tried to dive on Ezreal I would have gotten eaten alive, but they managed to make it work and just melted his health bar. It took planning and perfect execution. I love that kind of team play.
That’s just an example. Write as much or as little as you’d like about your play, just so long as we know which one you’re talking about. If you want extra brownie points find a clip of it on YouTube and throw it in along with your submission. I’m more interested in what you liked personally about the plays than the plays themselves.
Best of luck to all the submitters! The winner will be decided hopefully by a non-biased poll. I am technically the winner because I’ll get to read all your fun comments!
Just to expound on my example: during that dive Evelynn fought Cassiopeia and forced her to ult in a 1v1 situation. Cass is a good solo champ, but Evelynn is a stronger duelist and won out the battle, leaving with 3/4 HP. Really good state of mind to know to force the AP carry (who was building glass cannon) to blow her ult on just one person.
Wickd had the sickest play of the tournament. When he flashed that Shen taunt and then used Equilibrium Strike in turret range to chunk Shen. Then the double dash to follow up the Karthus ultimate and turn the 2v1 in top lane into a Kill for Wickd. The timing on the Flash out of the Shen taunt was so perfect. Wickd really showed his strength on Irelia that game. I watched that play at least 10 times afterwards. Such an epic moment in eSports.
mostly liked TPA,not about they gameplay,more about themselfs,they r kind people,wasnt screaming all time like other teams does…seems they r friends more than a team,thats what every team needs,becouse if u dont like someone in team it shows in game,and we can see all games from TPA that they always take care of eachother and making that in good timing,good moon,understanding each other…sorry for my bad english :S
This is a great observation. TPA definitely looked like good friends, good enough friends to trust each other in their picks and decision making.
Your English is actually really good and easy to understand. Thanks for posting!
ty 🙂
Yea, I’ve noticed that about M5 as well. Both TPA and M5 display awesome teamwork. In fights, only 1 player(Mistake and Alex Ich, respectively) is making the calls, calling out the focus, when to disengage, etc. This shows a huge amount of trust on the other members.
I don’t remember too many plays anymore, too much stuff going on this week, but some of the outstanding moments are the early game invades from TPA(soo aggressive early), the Karthus/Shen combo(I think it was TPA game 1 vs M5) where their ults was always up for team fights, and Shy’s Singed in game 3 vs CLG.eu.
More Canadian traffic!
i dont get arcade sona? 🙁
Which server are you playing on? If you are on an EU server I have a code that’s only been used on NA so you should be able to contact Riot Support with it and get it added to your account. I appreciate you posting, and I apologize for not following up sooner. I just wish we could have had a huge discussion about all the top plays. I felt like the tournament gave us a lot and we didn’t get much discussion about any of the top plays. Only you and SirSpam posted, so hopefully I can help you both out!
i play eu west so it wud be nice to get it 😉
