You're basically saying that even if Sword flies over, all 5 players get food poisoning from American food, and end up playing their series vs. TSM/Vulcun totally feverish and delusional and having been unable to play a single game in the days leading up to their games, they would still beat them?

That's an even harsher assessment than I would have been willing to give.

KR in general has a larger number of teams that consistently draft coherent and sensible team compositions, and in general their technical play tends to be cleaner on the whole than at least NA (other regions could be debatable, and in particular I don't watch enough EU LCS to make that particular comparison). I don't know what you're watching where you believe laning phase is KR's only advantage.

You guys are all wrong, All Star meant A LOT !
NA mids are underwhelming ? Trololol Regibro will crush your faces with his legendary blue card TF..
Also, NA adc >>> EU adc, Zuna will show you that by rocket jumping into the whole enemy team and getting an easy penta.
GG EU scrubs, see you next year !

It's sort of disingenuous to base your assessment on game 4 of a Bo5 when there hasn't *been* a game 4 of a Bo5 in an NA tournament.

With the exception of stand-out teams that are exceptionally good at playing series games, every player/team shows a significant decrease in play quality once they reach the latter 2 games of a Bo5, so it's very misleading to compare how a team in one region plays in the 4th game to Bo1 or Bo3 play in another region.

This is a completely random question, that isn't even that league related, but..

What is your preferred music to listen to while playing? Now, if it's just your favorite genre then I'm not interested. As an example, I don't actually have a favorite genre of music in general but when it comes to LoL I love old-time crooner music for some reason. And on the other side of the spectrum stuff like Ratatat works extremely well to get me in the mood too.

Crooner and softer music tends to just relax me and make me aware of the map/teamates without really having to focus on them while simultaneously making it hard for me to rage at teamates.

I mostly agree. But I literally just watched G4 of SKT v. KTB and it was a shitshow for KTB basically. They lost the game by piling, 1 but at a time, into a teamfight, not at dragon, not at a tower, but just in midlane. Shit like that seems to happen more often in KR than anywhere else.

On one had I could say, "that is because KR teams are better at capitalizing on that idiocy" ( I think that is true). Or you could say, "that is exactly what Regi does all the time and we rip on him for it, NA teams are too cautious for that" (kinda true, i do think they are generally more risk-averse). Korea, you have to admit, has a habit of doing these weird, basically pseduo-skirmishes, where one team has obviously lost at the 2 seconds mark, but they keep going for it for the next 5-10 seconds and lose 3 more members, and thus lose the game.

I can see Vulcun going farther than c9 at worlds
I think they are excellent at stomping teams that lack pressure, so pretty much all NA. But going into worlds they going to get to play teams with stronger lanes and map rotations. Also it's a team that doesn't know how to lose, everyone is buddy buddy and life is easy when you win, but when you get into the losing part, on a grand stage, there is so much unknown factor...

It's actually getting ridiculous. You either have to assume that Kennigit is extremely uninformed and talks out of his ass or that he is actually knowledgeable but spreads misinformation on purpose. I have seen and heard so much shit from him already that I just find it simply offensive by now. If you'd actually believe what he says on different talkshows here and there, LoL would be a game that has 100 Million 12 year old casuals using it as a facebook substitute to socialize with their friends, but the tournament streams can barely break 100k concurrent globally combined.

Then you go back to reality, look at the Korean scene, and I just have to cringe.

I do want to add though that the current style of support is the most fun I've ever had playing. I enjoy 5th position and don't want any gold. I want my strategy to be "how can I impact this game without any gold?".
