@Toralin• 09/27/2025Loading...More than a question, I’d like to make an observation – not so much about the individual picks/bans themselves, but rather about the logic and the decision-making process behind them.
I’ll use two specific examples to frame my question: Lucian and Ivern.
This year, we’ve never actually won an official game with Lucian. We all know he’s a champion that needs to snowball early, otherwise he gets outscaled pretty easily. So what was the reasoning behind picking Lucian in such an important match, against such a strong opponent, where it seemed very likely the game would go to late-game to be decided?
Did you really believe you could stomp them and close it out within 30 minutes?
Following the same logic but in the opposite direction, I wonder why we dont see more Ivern-comp in order to see him more. Razork has always been a really solid Ivern player, with strong performances and key wins in decisive series – which makes me think it’s one of his comfort picks.
Finally, I’d like to ask about the draft plan in Game 4. I assume the plan didnt expect to have a Trundle fall too far behind to the point where he couldn’t even match a Sion. But with poke Varus and Hwei, it felt like there was a big lack of consistent DPS regardless.
Thanks a lot anyway, and congratulations for qualifying for Worlds.
