Looking far weaker yesterday with Kkramer against Counter Logic Gaming, Flash Wolves used a poke composition with their original starting AD Carry, NL, and proved its merits. Steak, once again, more than held his own despite the stigma around him, contributing to KOOs demise. Perhaps one of the largest contributing factors of this defeat for KOO was the drafting phase, however.
Not only were the power picks of Gangplank and Darius both given to Flash Wolves, but they also got their hands on the unexpectedly powerful duo of Morgana and Varus, accentuating eachothers strengths, especially with a Cooldown Reduction build executed by NL. KOOs initial strategy was giving kurO early blue buffs onto his Lulu to shove in Maples Gangplank, who wasnt allowed any blue buffs due to the mana and CDR reliance of Nidalee on their team.
Despite this, Flash Wolves were able to hold out and acquire many riches onto their mid Gangplank. After a couple of barons onto an extremely potent poke composition, KOO Tigers were slowly whittled down into submission, making the second upset of the day.
