SKTT2 vs Shield was like watching Koreans stomping North Americans. Shield tried, but totally in vain.

Good stuff here. My thoughts on the upcoming KT Rolster B versus MVP Ozone match-up.

Ssumday versus Homme: Ssumday's Renekton is a force to be reckoned with, but his relatively shallow champion pool, along with his relative inexperience in one versus two lanes, could be abused. I'm expecting plenty of lane swaps coming from MVP Ozone, especially if they start from the purple side. If the top-laners go head-to-head, Homme will struggle as per usual, he is by far the worst top-laner left in the tournament.

inSec versus Dandy: People may expect inSec to outshine Dandy here, but Dandy is a pretty capable jungler himself. I see no significant advantage for either side here. Dandy may be restricted to picking Nasus, if Imp plays an auto-attack-centric hypercarry.

Ryu versus Dade: Dade has a surprisingly strong laning phase, and if on form could outlane Ryu.

Imp and Mata versus Score and Mafa: Imp is responsible for currently the strongest bottom lane available in Korea, and I expect a one sided victory in favour of MVP Ozone's bottom lane if they are to have any chance of victory.

KT Rolster B will most likely win the series as long as they are not too demoralized due to swarms of CJ Entus Frost fans currently heavily lampooning KT Rolster B for intentionally dodging Najin Sword. MVP Ozone traditionally had difficulties against teams with good lategame decision making skills, and KT Rolster B is among the best in that regard. Sure, MVP Ozone can be a deadly team on their day, but their one dimensional style of play can be abused by any team that has enough depth.

As a little side-note, here's what Imp had to say on the issue of his continual self-promotional efforts by comparing himself to Weixiao.

"I believe that in terms of pure mechanical skills alone, I am ahead of Weixiao."

Korea has finally discovered its very own version of Doublelift. Great mechanical skills? Check. Mediocre top-laner for a teammate? Check. Fondness for hypercarries in order to over-compensate for that fact? Check. Trash talking without the results to back it up? Check. Now all he needs to do is get the attention of the general public, then he'll be set. I'll certainly have my eyes on him.
