Low Elo Podcast EP. 10 - The Curse of Curse

IEM Hannover is in full swing, and with the group stages complete and Curse looking for substitutes. Shen gets hit hard with the ban stick while Janna supports Shyvana in the jungle. M5 sits on top of Group B staring ominously down on the proletariat below. Olaf discovers his OPness and Jeff jungles with boots first. Christian preaches to Jax believers while we take a closer look at Fiora. To top it off, we discuss which champions might be effective LAN event shoutcasters for League of Legends.

Another great Podcast!
I've got some more questions now from Noob to Pro's.
1. You said, it would be easy for Pro's to counterpick Cassiopeia. Do you know any counterpicks? i couldn't manqage to find out any for her yet. Would be really nice :)
2. What Kind of masteries or runes do you pick when you go Jungling as Olaf with Boots? I get many problems with it and my Runes / Masteries are:
Masteries: 11/10/9, Looking for increased buff duration, bonus health and armor while also increasing the basic damage.
Runes:
Marks: Flat ArPen
Seals: Flat Armor
Glyphs: CDR/Level
Quints: Flat ArPen
At Red, my health potions are all used and im on half of my health, being unable to gank.
How do you do it exactly?
Further i want to thank you Jeff, for your Shaco-Review on my last post. It really helped me alot. If you are able to counterjungle him in the early, he really is screwed.
Last question: What do you think about Trundle Jungle? I like to jungle with him, but i never see him. Is it the fact that he isn't that viable or is it just because he's an ugly "troll"?
Best regards, keep going.

@Cryout
1. Counterpick Cass with mobility: dodging will win you the lane and early boots will help a lot. Consider Kassadin and Gragas. Ahri and EZ would be fun choices too.
2. I rune HP quints, MR blues, AD reds and Armor yellows. I go 21/9/0 on booties Olaf. After red you should have used 2 pots and be beefy enough to gank. I go Q W Q E max Q then E.
3. Trundle in the jungle is fun and awesome.

@Jeff
Thank you very much for your fast answer!
You play Jungle-Olaf without increased Buff duration? Kay, i normally get it on all champions because it simply is awesome. I'll give your method a try this evening :)

Further i wanted to ask, about which times are you playing, and in which time zone do you live? I already looked for you sometimes in the chat, but you never were online.
Thank you very much :)

I am in the US Pacific time zone and I tend to play late night, some time between 10PM and 3AM :). I have not been in chat for the last week because I was travelling.

I don't worry much about the increased buff duration because Olaf isn't reliant on his buffs after the first rumble through the jungle and I tend to give them away to the AP carry (blue) and AD carry (red) after first clear.
