Early Game

• Both teams send a member to each entrance of their respective jungle

• this is the best and safest start

• Neither team buy a 3 minute ward

• both mid laners put a deep mid lane ward to catch rotations / anything they can see.

• Najin's Maokai throws a sapling in top bush spotting Lissandra, hinting towards standard lanes

• CJ's Thresh puts a defensive ward in red-river bush. Lucian wards tri bush.

• Najin wards blue-river bush and botlane river bush and lee wards near river bush.

• Najin invades CJ red buff

  • Ahri pushed mid lane into turret
  • Because jungle does not start at the actual buff anymore Watch can walk through mid to Ambitions Red unseen because Najin did not buy a 3 minute ward and a trinket would have to be placed after 2 minutes to see his invade
  • Korean junglers often do gromp blue wolves/raptors before red.
  • Small misstep in Watch's strategy. Instead of immediately starting red red should have tried to walk around to find ambition. This is because ambition is playing a weaker junglers, rengar, in his first clear. Ambition came into the jungle with 20% health while Watch had 80%.

• Shy invades watch at his lvl 6 power spike and secures 2 kills from a chaotic jungle skirmish with only losing Ambition's rengar.

  • Shy actually walks by a ward that Duke placed top lane. Duke should have communicated that a ward was in tri-bush and lissandra was missing
  • CJ entus react to the skirmish faster than Najin and have a man advantage at all times during the skirmish.
  • Coco's Fizz gets both kills

---

• CJ entus takes advantage of winning the skirmish and buy multiple pink wards

  • CJ use these pink wards to take total control of top river by placing a pink in top river bush and mid river bush. They also take scuttle crab giving them total vision of the river.
  • This allows rengar to freely gank because he gank ult out of vision 100% of the time
  • They also put a pink in bottom river mid bush and river bush.
  • CJ has total control and vision of the river. giving them an immense amount of pressure and relieving pressure from every lane.
  • unfortunately CJ Entus does not take advantage of their vision control and wind up losing multiple pinks and total control of the mid map.

• Good communication from Najin bot lane allows watch to create make a play in the time-frame that fizz ult and rengar ult was down.

  • Thresh roams up river towards mid while lucian makes his first back
  • Alistar walks up lane and sees the enemy bot lane is MIA and spots thresh Mid river taking out a pink
  • Watch and Cain collapse and watch forces a fight on Madlife. Najin are taking advtange of the cooldown fizz and rengar burned earlier ( ultimates)
  • This fight would have gone to CJ if coco and ambition did not wiff their ultimate earlier, or had their ultimate for this fight.
  • Najin forces a 3v2 forcing both teleports making a 4v3 fight. Corki does not back like lucian making the give 5v3 ( Ambition arrives but watch dies)
  • perfect rotation for najin allows them to come back into the game from a possibly fatal lead.

• due to the extended team fight Najin forfeits a dragon because they were too low to contest.

  • CJ push out mid lane and 3 man dragon as Najin recall and get their first dragon.

• At this point in the game (15:37) The power of CJ lies with Coco(fizz) 3-0 and the power of Najin lies with Duke (maokai) 3-0

  • Duke is allowed to bully lissandra out of lane after completing road of ages. Fizz cannot exert the same amount of pressure on Ahri in mid lane so Najin have more map pressure
  • Fizz has more team fight pressure.

• Najin rotate bottom and apply pressure on the bottom turret ultimately taking down the first turret of the game, but over stay their welcome and "ignore" a collapse that was scouted by wards

  • Cain and watch do a clever rotation bottom, but give madlife scouts out the gank with a ward in bottom river bot bush.
  • Cain and watch eventually take bottom turret
  • While they are taking bot turret, rengar is spotted AND pinged on the way to bottom.
  • Lissandra rotates bottom unseen
  • CJ collapses on an over aggressive Najin resulting in a 3 for 0 trade for CJ
  • Najin's Maokai takes top turret and ahri takes mid turret and CJ takes bottom turret trading 3-1 in turrets.
  • trade even-ish but shy gets a triple evening up top lane match up.
  • game is back in favor for CJ despite gold lead to Najin.

• Team fight erupts after Madlife catches Watch in bottom side river

  • The fight erupts and looks for for CJ Entus, but ahri arrives to the fight early and ambition is kicked too deep and dies before lee sin.
  • Najin's maokai teleports behind lucian, this pressures him to stay on the outskirts of the fight. Additionally seperates lucian and fizz from the team fight.
  • Najin corki is not focused and does a ton of dps to CJ team
  • Najin take the teamfight by separating CJ into 3 areas. Fizz Lucian and thresh are zoned by maokai // Lissandra is flanking Najin with teleport // Rengar was kicked into the center of the Najin team
  • Splitting CJ's damage allows Najn to dominate the teamfight.

• Najin pose to take dragon and snowball the game into a victory

  • Najin pose for dragon and CJ entus cannot contend it because Lissandra went to farm wolves and recalled.
  • Najin did not know shy left, but felt confident after the last fight and went for dragon
  • Najin take their first dragon

---

• From here Najin have enough momentum. map pressure, and damage to run over CJ Entus.
  • Najin forces a fight a 4v5 (CJ missing Lucian)
  • After a huge powerspike and 8% damage from dragon they snowball this team fight into victory
  • After taking top turret, they have a huge lead and an entrance into a diffcult to contest inhibitor. Najin close out the game.
