Game Breakdown: CDG VS GamerTaku

Hi! Illusion.Yume here to give you a breakdown analysis of games that might help someone? I dunno, but hope you guys enjoy this and any feedback is welcomed!

The game was played on 22/8/12 10.15PM, it was pretty much a one-sided game but let's look how the snowball occurs.

DRAFT PHRASE

CDG bans: Soraka, Alistar and Xin Zhao
GT(Gamertaku) bans: Shen, Morg and Malphite

CDG picks: Taric(Impactless), Grave(Xiaoagresser), Maokai(Haiz), Orianna(Schieibe) and Jayce(Kingelmo)
GT picks: Nunu, Tristana, Shyvana, Irelia and Vladimir

CDG bans Soraka who encourages passive farming on bot lane due to endless sustain to its AD Carry, Alistar as it was too terror to face with, no matter in the Jungle or Support, you have to play very differently especially against Jungle Alistar and lastly Xin Zhao who is a great Jungle Ganker with the ability to snowball and CDG obviously doesn't want that to happen.

GT is pretty much generic bans, Shen with the Global influences and an excellent laner and split pusher, Morgana, pretty much the strongest AP Mid in the game right now, great ulti and almost impossible to gank by jungler due to black shield and lastly Malphite, thought nerfed, still able to performs its Anti-Carry role and shut down any AD Carry if fed.

Looking at the picks, CDG adopted a early aggressive strategy with Maokai, Jayce and Grave, compared to GT whose team is oriented at Mid game onwards as they are item reliant such as Irelia, Vladimir and Tristana who is a stronger late game carry than Grave. Thus the key to this game is whether CDG can put early pressure and snowball on GT before they get fat and crush mid-late game.

GAME BEGIN!
 Both team started the game without any invasion with both team actively guarding the jungle entrances and Shyvana started red buff and Maokai on blue buff. Immediately when the laning phrase begin, Orianna started going aggressive against Vlad, totally exploiting Vlad weaknesses of weak early game phrase as he is unable to do any counter attack until lv6, zoning out Vlad immediately from CS farming, that is one of the reason why vlad is better on top than mid.

At  2:20, Shyvana ganked top without doing much damage to Jayce retreated. 3.58, realizing Shyvana did not take her blue yet, Maokai attempted to steal blue at purple side, Shyvana saw and fight broke out, Shyvana was chasing Maokai before Orianna reach, once she reached, they turned around for a 2-0 fight killing Shyvana and Vladimir who came in later. 5.14 Maokai ganked top, killing Irelia with Jayce help. 6.17, Orianna all out on vlad with level advantage (LV6 VS LV5), Vlad goes down after receiving all the damage from Ori skill. At this point of the game, CDG is having an nice lead of 4-0 which turned into snowballing later. At bottom lane, Grave/Taric are extremely aggressive to Tristana/Nunu, zoning them out from Cs-ing, this might be due to although Tristana and Nunu are great champion as a individual, they seems unable to make use of their advantage, such as Attack Speed buff which might be better suited for champion such as Kog/Vayne.

At 9Min mark, the CS of individual lane are as follow
Grave-Trist 60-47
Ori-Vlad 60-39
Jayce-Irelia 51-21
Mao-Shy 25-36

All the lanes have at least 2 level advantage from CDG side which allowed them to play extremely aggressive towards GT. At 10.28 Maokai dived bot lane and killed Nunu, Tristana escape, they then proceeds to take Dragon without any contest from GT. 12.04 Vladimir caught Maokai with low HP, Maokai dies but then killed by Orianna afterwards, Nunu came and was killed as well, double kill to Orianna.
14Min mark, CS of individual lane are as follow (14-3)kills
Grave-Trist 102-71
Ori-Vlad 117-69
Jayce-Irelia 106-39
Mentions: Orianna have abyssal scepter, Taric Oracle.
16.00 Jayce killed Irelia at top, Shyvana came in later but killed by Jayce as well, drop trist with help from teammates afterwards. At this point of the game, CDG is making use of their advantage fully against GT, efficient roaming by the whole team to pick out opponent Champion one by one, controlling the map, objectives, and have an gold advantage of 34k vs 19k.

22.15 Teamfight broke out at GT base, High nuke from CDG team drops Nunu, Trist and Irelia instantly, Vlad die afterwards, Orianna triple kill.
24, Purple Side Nexus drop, CDG Wins!

CONCLUSION
Great game by CDG of amazing game, of course props to GT for bringing us the game, hope there will be more in the future. The MVP(IMO), goes to Maokai(Haiz) as he is the key of the game snowball, managed to control Shyvana and strong presence during early game, GJ!
