Have a Kennen or some other champ with a great engage/dive ult? Grab Sona for Flash-Crescendo, play smart in team fights and just watch Kennen wreck face. Or get Nami for the bubbles and Tidal Wave to knock-up into the engage. Up against a poke-heavy team and you have a lot of tanky bruisers? Grab Thresh/Clank, learn them hook shots, isolate/focus the hooked target then win the ensuing 5v4. Up against a dive-heavy composition? Nami, Sona, and Janna's ult all have great disengage properties. | ||

I thought so too, but from the website: "Korea - 3 entries International Wildcard - 1 entry" Since the 3rd Korean slot is given to them from winning all-stars, there's ANOTHER spot. | ||

My reasoning for this is specific to each team's composition: Have a Kennen or some other champ with a great engage/dive ult? Grab Sona for Flash-Crescendo, play smart in team fights and just watch Kennen wreck face. Or get Nami for the bubbles and Tidal Wave to knock-up into the engage.

I like your list but I feel like Zyra is on even tier with half your list, making a top6 perhaps more relevant. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + I just think it's funny but practically speaking, from a marketing prospective a chinese player isn't worth much, so you are right. | ||

But it also means we could potentially only be left with 1 NA & 1 EU Team from the QF and onwards. Who you guys think is the favourite for the int. Wildcard? I don't know much about any of those scenes, but I guess it comes down to Brazil vs CIS. | ||

I thought it was decided from Allstars that no European team would get a bye in to the QF, because they finished last. I might be wrong though.

Yea' pretty much hit the nail on the head. Riot's judgement was fair; plus the best team will still win the world championships. | ||

(WRT waiting around to engage/ be engaged on) I enjoy playing support. Also lux support: zyra is all around better in that role. It might be a style thing, but I prefer Lux to Zyra and I'm much better with the former. I'd say Lux brings much more damage while Zyra is better at zone control. I have always felt fairly underwhelmed with Zyra as a support, and even as an AP mid, though I'd have to really grind games with her to figure out why I dislike her so much (and in the process I'd probably learn to like her, lol). | ||

Lux is like nidalee with a bind. She is bad past early lane phase without some serious AP. Zyra, on the other hand, has a root, slow, and her ult is amazing. | ||
