TSM Vs Dig Review of the game

TSM vs Dig

Pick and ban The pick Ban was standard. TSM banned Azir Rumble Alistar. Dignitas banned Leblanc Ryze and Maoki. The first rotation TSM took Kalista for wild turtle. Dig took Fizz and Reksia. TSM then took Ekko and Bard. Dignitas took Sivir Morgana. Gragas and Hecarim for TSM’s final pick. Dignitas then picks the Kogmaw. Taking Bard TSM really wants to lane swap even though they have the stronger lane player wise and champion wise. Bard does want to roam in the early game to collect chimes and can potentially land a mid-lane gank with Gragas. Dignitas taking Sivir I don’t really agree with I think a Corki would be more effective if Dignitas was going to go with a poke comp. Sivir’s ult is making the team want to dive. Reksia and morgana are the only two that want to dive where Kogmaw wants to stay in the back line and hit living artilleries. I also think Varus is better than Kogmaw as well. Top lane pick very standard match up to normal Meta picks. Heciram will be in the back line against the Sivir and Kogmaw. I disagree with this pick. I think Gnar would work better due to the fact he provides peel for the Kalista and the fact Ekko wants to assassinate people.

First ten minutes Lane swap is started TSM get an early tower and Dyrus gets more XP than Gamsu due to Helios being top knowing he can TP down safely. Lustboy roaming creating pressure around the map. Really good early game denying Gamsu farm. Lustboy and Santorin gank mid with magical journey all skill shots are missed Lust boy takes too many turret shots and Kogmaw retaliates and first blood goes to Kogmaw. Bot lane harasses turret kiwikid predicts the dark binding CoreJJ picks up the kill making it 2-0 DIG End of the first ten minutes CS lead in favor of Dyrus, Santorin, and Bjergsen. Shiphtur only down by 6 but has first blood kill. Cs difference massively in favor of Dyrus about 16. And bot lane there is a 17 CS differential in favor of CoreJJ and a kill.

10-20 mins min Lustboy Dyrus and Santorin gank bot lane Bard magical journey misses the stun Sivir pops spell shield Dyrus doesn’t do a lot of damage due to no challenging smite yet. Santorin throws the explosive cask. Sivir flashes gets out alive. Gamsu tp’s down on a turret to insure that Sivir is okay. 12 mins in Helios comes bot lane because Santorin is there good response. They use on the hunt Dyrus Teleports in Bard ults the tower and Sivir and Wildturtle pick up the kill against KiwiKid. Good play by TSM because Gamsu’s teleport was on cool down. 15 mins Lustboy gets caught out warding the enemy jungle. Sivir pops on the hunt, Gamus tp’s down uses chum the waters, and bard ults himself still dying. Dyrus roams to drag gets caught with a dark binding while clearing a ward and ap kogmaw pokes from the back-line Dyrus dies and Santorin also gets caught out picking up 3 kills for dig and the first drake but Bjerg goes back in gets the kill on Helios. The gold differential being 900 in TSMS favor. But TSM has picked up 2 turrets where Dignitas hasn’t knocked down any. 20 minutes in TSM picks of Gamsu killing going to Santorin. They send Bjergsen Lustboy and Santorin top Dig responds by taking mid turret. Bjergsen knocks down tier 2 top tower because of how much damage WildTurtle Lustboy and Santorin were able to get on it early during the lane swap. Gold differential is now 1600 in favor of TSM.

21-30 TSM wards up dragon clears wards but then Dig wards and clears vision again. Dignitas pushes mid in response to TSM taking drake and Bjergsen pushing bot lane. Very messy dragon fight breaks out. Bjergsen picks up 3 kills and so does Dyrus. Dyrus does die earlier in the fight but Teleports back in for 2 kills. Shiphtur and Corejj pick up kills as well. 3k gold lead now in TSMs favor. Item builds to take notice on. Gamsu doing Cinderhulk Fizz with Iceborn gauntlet. Nontraditional build for Fizz most Fizzes take frozen heart instead. The Iceborn gauntlet will be annoying with the sheen activation and he will really stick to the back line which is just Bard and kalista since TSM’s peel is non-existent. Hecarim wants to dive the back-line Ekko wants to assassinate, and Gragas as well wants to be in the back line as well.
Kalista has Blood Thirster + Runaans normal build. Ekko has Morello + zonyas as well normal build Hecarim frozen heart homeguards + cinderhulk. Sivir static + IE+ Kogmaw has ludens + arch angel. Bard has aegis.
30 mins TSM takes drake for Baron. They try to contest Baron Corejj and Kiwikid both die in exchange Gamsu barely gets out alive. TSM doing what they can against the wave clear with Dignitas split pushing with Ekko. The wave clear from Dignitas is very strong with Sivir + Kogmaw. TSM starts a fight at 36 mins Bjergsen doing massive amounts of damage WildTurtle goes aggressive but Fizz jumps on him the second Bjergsen leaves the fight because the Kalista doesn’t have peel. Dyrus recalls homeguards in and tp’s kills Shiphtur. They trade baron for drake again. At 42 mins Wildturtle gets caught out and TSM tries to recover. Bjergsen goes in and is melted immediately. Dyrus Tps in and is slowed by chum the waters after only killing CoreJJ. Lust boy ults the fizz that is flanking and Dignitas picks up the team fight and finishes the game. Overall TSM had decent team fights with Bjergsen carrying the team fights and Dyrus cleaning it up.

Feel free to post opinions about the game as well. I went into a decent amount of detail but could have done more.
