REN vs TL Spring 2016
Interesting pick/ban and a little bit strange to see the ten man Team Liquid lock in their team composition instead of counter picking Alex Ich. But it seems that Team Liquid has a plan, so we'll see how it pans out.

I personally think Smoothie should have picked Poppy.
Seems that only EU has picked up on support Poppy. Although its really interesting imo how different regions adapted to the meta, with Korean picking a bunch of burst mages (Lux and Leblanc) and mid ADCs, NA picking wave clear mids, and EU the only one to try support Poppy and uses much more assassins than the other two (mostly as a counter to multiple AD compositions).
Also, Korea has debuted top lane graves, it seems EU or NA hasn't tried top lane Quinn at all (I cant remember them doing it), trundle support is in all regions but NA, everyone has priority on that top lane Tahm, and it seems some teams have a higher rating of Ezreal than others.
I really want to see every ADC in this meta. Quinn, Graves, Kindred, Corki, Ezreal, Lucian, Miss Fortune, Tristana, Kalista, Varus... There is only a couple more, like Jinx, Kog'maw, Vayne, Twitch, Ashe and Kennen if you count him. For the first week of games I think that is a pretty spectacular portion of the cast in that role.
Sloppy plays from both sides. One thing that intrigues me though is when Freeze' Kalista managed to kill Piglet's Lucian in that one team fight in front of baron where Team Liquid basically Gnar ult-Viktor ult 4 of Renegades' team members.
It showed that Freeze is definitely a fantastic player, because not only did he kill Piglet when Piglet had an ally to assist him, it was a Kalista vs Lucian, where Lucian was supposed to win the fight easily with just his passive. It was cool.
I guess neither team had a plan.
