Yeah but people are not blind, there's still worlds every year and next time it could very well be a korean only final, hell maybe there won't even be an european or american team in the semis. Also if Riot wants to protect the NA scene so badly they will need to do something about the other LMQ-like teams who WILL eventually come to America for the easy money. Just look what WCS NA has become l0l. | ||

I think the overall match up for Fnatic vs C9 is 2 Bo3 wins for Fnatic and 1 BO3 loss (which is actually 4 games a piece for each team). I don't think fnatic "dumped" on c9 as hard as you think, history suggests the match up is actually pretty close. I don't know what the heck he's talking about either on such a small sample size. | ||

Probably just reads like Leaguepedia and asks Yango which teams in China aren't shit. User was temp banned for this post. Poor Roffles, questioning the claims of great leader Neoillusions will get you Neoillusions-unapproved and actioned every time. Anyways Yango, how optimistic are you about the special all-star totally unique meta match? More or less optimistic than you are are about the return of #CTY. | ||

Fnatic is a bit of a wildcard IMO. They can play like the best team in Europe(Western world?) one day, and the next make CoLB look like a good team. I wouldn't expect them to place above 3rd, but any slot between 3-5 is definitely within reach. | ||

If Riot wants teams to get better, have the winners of quarter seasons go to play offs against each other. | ||

Fnatic has a good chance of ending last, I am pretty sure that even without Hai C9 is better than them at the moment. Only thing that could keep Fnatic from last place is TPA being even worse. It's hard to tell, I never really watch GPL. Not sure of who will win it. It all depends on how well OMG is able to adept to 4.6, if they can adept well I wouldn't be surprised to see them take first spot. As for SKT K, even though they are slumping bad, Faker is still the best midlaner out there but I doubt Bengi and Mandu have improved in such a short time. Those two are the weakest link in that line up right now. | ||

Let's be real here, Link had a lot of misplays and got carried by Meteos and Balls and the fact the Xpeke would either throw out garbage ults, or he would have a good ult way too late because the rest of his team didn't know what they were doing. Also, C9 had huge balls and let Shyv split push vs then and just made sure to use Trundle+Elise to force the engage onto Ori | ||

If he's doing the shotcalling for c9 like meteos suggested, then those calls in those games were pretty solid. I'm just happy he didn't die like 3 times in lane against xpeke in a 1v1. | ||
