TSM vs CLG 2016
What a great first game of the season! Absolute Dragon Control for the win in 40+ minute game. Maybe we need to put to rest all the people saying dragon is not a worthwhile objective.
Edit: O and Double Teleport META still here!

Meta maybe, but the real takeaway from this game is to not let Jax through bans without first picking him because with this current strength he gets with rageblade. Even though he didn't carry the game score wise, he provided most of the pressure and was the force that kept the ball rolling for CLG with his indomitable split pushing. Since Jax kept the lanes pushed (and the new minion mechanics), it isn't surprising that CLG, who had the easier side for dragon control, were able to get to the 5th dragon basically uncontested.
Either way great game by both teams to start off the NA season
Yeah, it was a very exciting game to watch!
I don't think this game was indicative of a double teleport meta. In this case the double teleport was a very specific choice made to execute a very map movement heavy strategy with two splitpushers.
the double tp was to counter TF I believe and even then they (CLG) didnt execute it properly.
just shows that mundo is easily countered by carry-tops - he can´t keep them form farming early, and he can´t outscale them either.
also - when NA teams get better at closing out drakes will be worth less and less. it´s allright to grab it for free like CLG did, but it´s never worth trading anymore. It´s just a win-more thing atm.
