![]() ![]() Sometimes a pocket-pick can help you because you can catch someone off-guard and that can get you a win. If you’re a team that isn’t as mechanically gifted as players such as my solo laners or just the members of my team, and you are struggling already then you will not be as open-minded because you need to study the basics in order to win games. ![]() Obviously at Rift Rivals it’s not a super serious tournament so we can allow ourselves to try more things, but overall it’s important to stay open-minded. We try stuff and if it works then we can use it on-stage, if it doesn't, then we won’t use it. Since we are all open-minded, we like to learn from mistakes, we like to learn when we lose. We are all really open-minded and that’s why we try a lot of picks, so it’s not even about us having fun, it’s more about us trying picks and trying to figure out what’s the best way to play the game. How is it playing in a team that can basically play any style that you want or any champions at almost any position? It seems like a really unique experience that isn’t easily replicated in other teams around the world. Like I mentioned, if Grig would have had successful ganks and farmed better, he would have been much more ahead. I do believe that right now, I’m not sure if I would buff the jungle, but I wouldn’t nerf it either. I don’t think catch up EXP is relevant as it was before, but then it was hard nerfed and now it’s actually really hard to stay even in level with your solo laners and if they take your camps, especially in competitive play where everyone wants farm to carry, and my jungle is maybe not a tank or low income jungler, then you will fall even more behind in levels. If Grig would have farmed more that game and my ganks would have failed, I would have been super far behind. If the enemy jungle gets Pyke and you farm slow and you gank a lot, sure if you get kills you won’t fall behind but that’s not because of catch up EXP, that’s just because you got kills. Do you think there’s any truth to the idea that ganking has very little consequences because of this mechanic? ![]() This reminds me of catch up EXP and how some have an issue with this mechanic. You ganked a ton this game and didn’t really farm during the beginning parts of the game. It would help if NA knew how to side lane by playing it in solo queue but I don’t think it impacts the teams, it’s really irrelevant because in EU, sure maybe more people know how to play side lanes in solo queue but just because people in solo queue aren’t playing well doesn’t mean pro players have to play like shit as well. I mean, for sure it’s dependent on the solo lanes and how they play the side lanes and unless you’re playing something like Zed and Yuumi in the side lane such as we did this game. So do you think this is an after-effect that now even pro players don’t know how to side lane? Some say that this is because of NA solo queue and how players don’t know how to side lane whereas over in EU people are more willing to do split push and create pressure in order to win a solo queue game. It feels like they don’t know if they should go side lane, or if they do, do they win? Or should they sit in jungle or how do they get priority? For me, it seems like at some point they’ll group mid and all you have to do is push sides and even if they get a kill because we’re trolling, we’ll still get more than them. In NA, I think it’s kind of weird because they just group mid. ![]() They just pick fights, let’s say they go for drake and everyone dies, then they just group up again and nonstop fight. I don’t think NA is a heavy teamfight region because for example in LPL they fight a lot, but for no reason. So, I don’t think it’s very hard to play against that team.ĭo you think there’s some truth to the NAram region? Do you think that’s a worthy description in that we’re a heavy teamfight region? Normally during the mid game they fall behind and are just kind of clueless, they go mid and don’t do anything. I think TSM can play a fine game but I don’t think they are anything special, they are kind of like all the other NA teams. What do you think of TSM and how they performed? Earlier in the day G2 also faced against Team Liquid with a very unorthodox composition of Shyvana top, Zed and Yuumi bot.Įsports Heaven spoke with Jankos about his thoughts on TSM, NAram, NA side laning, catch up EXP, G2’s ability to play multiple champions or roles, practicing niche picks, and comparing him to Peanut. Rift Rivals during day 2 saw G2 face against TSM with Jankos playing Pyke in the jungle and ending the game rather quickly. ![]()
