The Bronze Bastard Qualifies for Summer Split - II

Welp, I knew I should have left queue after having people ditch in the lobby.  I stayed around, and got trashed by a good opponent and a horrible team.  I am going back into the snake pit.  But I swear, if I have someone leave lobby again I am taking it as a bad omen and de-queueing to normal.  It only takes about 2 minutes to pop queue.  Profgo doesn't accept the game, and we queue back.  I don't consider this a fail, because the person didn't actually accept and then exit from the lobby.  This is probably going to ruin me. But hey, maybe I'll learn something.

I want to get solo.  I just feel like I know it best.  Its what I'm least likely to mess up.  I may not be so strong that I can carry the match, but we won't lose because of me. 3ish minutes for this queue to pop.  I am 4th pick, I can work with this.  Our top pick takes Ravana jungle.  The opponents first pick Chaac.  I want to take Cerberus against him. Chaac is my only diamond, so I feel like I know well what he will want to do.  I will be out-pressured early and will need to hold on tight.  I think I'm going to go for a defense/sustain item instead of my typical boots starter in solo.   I choose Warrior's Blessing and Glowing Emerald.

I hold out well in the early exchanges.  On my first back I'm able to get second level of Stone and first level of boots for some extra movement speed to help me get out of Chaac's 3.  I've got some great sustain. I'm able to get my second back fairly soon after, and finish pen boots.  Chaac and I are stalemated.  My passive cuts his heal and helps sustain me even further.  All the while, our Ravanna Jungle is running roughshod over the enemy team.  Then, Raijin starts picking things up.  These two guys own the field.  I continue stalemating my Chaac.  I pick up the first two pieces of Divine Ruin on my next back.  Teleport Glyph is my friend.  My last back, I finish Divine Ruin AND get Void Stone.  Solid effort, I must say.  It's about here where the other team F6's.  We finish the game at 15-2 in under 25 minutes.  Chaac and I both went 0-0-0.  Stalemated.  Perfect, that's a win for the Bronze Bastard.
