Tales of a Bronze Bastard XXVI

Current Rank: Silver V Current TP: 51

I am 3rd pick and I'm going Sylvanus.  As of last update, I'm Plat II on Sylvy leaderboard and just learned from EmilZy that I should be building Stone of Binding early on him.  My lane partner is Xba.  We are up against Athena and Artemis.  We should be fairly even.

As predicted, we stalemate Athena and Artemis.  We each go for our own purple buffs.  The game goes to the 6 minute mark with no kills.  This looks like it will be an epic matchup, but someone on the enemy team DCs.  The match continues for a while, and while the teams are equal, the enemy who DC'd never comes back and we eventually just wear them down until they surrender about the 18 minute mark.  Cheap win, but I'll take it.

Game II Silver V Current TP: 61
I'm last pick, so things are looking good here.  I get stuck with Supp, so that's also good.  I can keep rocking Sylvy.  My lane partner will be Artermis.  We are going into Ares and probably Iza, though possibly Chronos.  Let's do this, Artemis!

It's Iza.  We get pressure early.  I notice Ares got T1 void stone and no boots. I'm going to have a big advantage over him early.  We work Ares and Iza down and gain a slight advantage.  Then, the most glorious of things happened: our jungler showed up and ganked when Ares was at half health and we got the kill.  We got the advantage and I manage to push up to tower and back for full Cooldown boots.  Ares comes back with T2 void stone, so I decide to press hard with my movement speed advantage. 

We really poor the pressure on and get the enemy T1 tower down quickly.  Our Rat is everywhere, bringing pain to our enemies. I go a solid 3-4-14 and earn a well-fought victory for the Silver Bastard.

I'm last pick again and happy to go Sylv.  Unfortunately, he doesn't get through the 2nd ban phase.  I've got a Rama carry for a partner and ultimately decide to go with  Cerberus.  I've been having mixed results with him in duo, but I'm going to see if early Stone of Binding helps.  Going against Geb and Medusa.  Let's do this.

Well, I get destroyed.  In spectacular fashion.  I'm certainly the reason we lose.  Screw Cerb in supp, never doing it again.
