Wow what a set of 2 games yesterday vs clg. Destroying them game 1 followed by a close game 2 that showcased the importance of objective focus and macro over chasing kills. By kills, clg was destroying; yet imt was ahead or even in cs despite being down so many kills. Towers, minion wave manipulation, intelligent tp's and teamfights where better positioning let imt come out ahead.

And can I just say that Xmithie gave one of my favorite interviews in recent history? Humble, not over-hype, and honest. He could have talked crap about his opponents, he could have talked about how his team "won" the trade, but instead he was honest and humble - giving recognition to how good his opponents were and how close the second game really was. I wish more people would have this kind of honor - to speak truthfully about opponents who put up a really good fight and not overhype themselves or their team just because they are on a winning streak.

If you actually listen to the interview you could just hear " Pimpin ain't easy" from Xmithie, but you gotta really listen.

Basically, this method of play is what SKT does every game. It makes a huge difference.
