Considering how dominant C9 is and how much lower the rest of the teams were (even if C9 doesn't compare to the international teams), if Quantic isn't steamrolling as hard as C9 did it's kind of hard to call. They were 0-2'd by Coast and VES, though to be fair, only Loco had a level 30 account. | ||

I'm pretty sure logic flew out the door when he mentioned IE on nasus. | ||

Though it's a fair assessment. I'm interested to see how they perform with full accounts, but at the same time I find it hard to believe that they'll go from 0-4 in a tourney to dominating the NA scene just because of Runes/Masteries. I think they'll be a strong contender and one of the top teams, but there's clearly room to improve. | ||

IE is potentially a good late game item on Nasus to be fair. Once you can tank 5 people and just sit on a Withered AD autoing and Qing, it's going to be amazing. But as a 1 or 2 item timing that's kind of... not a good idea. | ||

Isn't Last Whisper way better in a situation like that? Because that actually scales with Q stacks. | ||

Triforce provides rounded offensive stats in 1 item, which is generally the highest number of slots Nasus can commit to a purely offensive item. BotRK is the most obvious competitor for "single slot damage item with rounded offensive stats" but for obvious reasons has poorer interactions with Nasus' kit. | ||

Honerable mention to voyboy because I think with some better training he could come back, but SV, cop, and Jacky just can't pull their weight. TSM should replace Regi and TOO. I'm a little weary on Dyrus and Xpecial, because dyrus usually eats all the shit from the enemy team since regi can't win lane, and xpecial is obviously doing well with turtle. Dig should replace everyone. Not a single player is up to standards. I have no idea how vulcan even wins games, except that the teams they play against are even worse then they are. Replace TOO? He was by far TSM's most consistent player at Worlds, with the exception of one game (vs OMG or SKT, forget which) he was rock solid in every game, basically the reason TSM didn't go 0-20 every game. | ||

It's a HUGE amount of early gold deficit worth of stats. And then that snow balls even harder throughout the game. Pretty much all your lanes are relegated to avoiding ALLL trades in lane because no matter how well they fight it out in a lane trade, they always come out behind because lack of runes/masteries. | ||

Given Quantic consists of players whom were "bottom of the barrel", so to speak, given their inability to make it in OGN, and overall unimpressive play, I'm inclined to refuse boarding a Quantic hype train (which that the ggLA tourney unsurprisingly derailed, in any event). Don't get me wrong, NA has plenty of problems in competitive (that we can hopefully sort out the next year for S4), but I have enough faith that NA teams can beat a team of 3rd/4th tier KR pros. | ||

The problem is that currently the way the teams are, the old blood sticks to itself, and the new blood sticks to itself, meaning that the new blood doesn't get to draw on the experience of the older players, while the older players don't get to lean on the talent of the newer players. The scene develops most healthily if you have teams that are like 2 older players with 3 younger talented players, because that fosters the growth of the younger players in the long run, while utilizing the experience of the older players for shot-calling/drafting in the short term. | ||

This is the feeling I'm getting too. They have potential, especially if they keep up KOR discipline and style, but it's not like NJS or SKT coming to NA.

While this is true, if they really were a top contender team, they'd have enough game sense and patience to play a game and beat one of two relegated teams at least once. Time will tell though. | ||

I understand the reasoning for it, it just contributes to why NA is uncompetitive. The streamer culture in NA is integral to why LoL was successful and still key to its popularity, but also does inhibit its competitive growth on NA. | ||

Partially why I was rather impressed when HSGG stepped down. I'm not his biggest fan, but it takes a fair amount of composure and modesty to step down as the face of an organization for the betterment of the team. Sadly it didn't do enough to help them :\ | ||
