"considering the fact that his team was the second best in history"

What the fuck is this? A fact? Samsung White has a winning record against SKT and performed significantly better over a longer period of time. A few good months doesn't make SKT the best ever. If Samsung actually paid their players what they were worth and they still existed, they would still be at the top of the world.

At the very least use "arguably"

Oh, c'mon.
SKT T1 #2 was better team in 2 seasons, DanDy/Mata/Imp + 2 were better team in 2 seasons and in 2013 Spring they went 3-3.

But having perfect season + being only team to back-to-back win Champions and winning Worlds inbetween > being consistent performers for 2 years and Worlds winners.

"Few good months", lol.

Samsung lost game to TSM and SHRC :> Not to mention Blue kryptonite. Altough imo much easier to snowball and have the better team always win in S3. Hard to compare I'd argue.

samsung certainly had the superior team staff. skt got pretty lucky with faker and their subsequent attempts to build a team, relative to the resources they commanded, isn't that good.

samsung had two world class teams. their recruiting 'prestige' wasn't that high compared to cj and skt, but they were risk takers with young and brash players with bad reputations, and had the best talent development staff to mold the players and instill habits.

of course this does not seem to remain their strength after all of their coaches got poached

So what's the difference between blue writers and black writers?

It's obvious I'm not talking about SKT being the best. Clearly, the best team of all time is Taipei Assassins. ;S

Premise says that the players can't be on current KCL rosters.

I thought people had high opinion of Score, saying he was the struggler of KTB - maybe I'm wrong.

I think the team as a whole struggled collectively.

I also think the decision to swap Kakao down to KTA and Insec in was incredibly poor.

On the whole, I think Insec is actually way too high on this list. Even the article admits that he never really performed well in Korea and never made it past Ro8, so why is he #2 on the list for winning some foreign tournaments?


I'm not even sure I'd put Insec on the list at all. He's obviously incredible mechanically, but he's always been a loose cannon, and it keeps him from making deep playoff runs. He comes up big much more often than he throws, but winning a championship is about consistency, not peaks.

The series of decisions that led to KTB imploding seems like possibly the worst management in competitive LoL history to me, although I'm sure the management had access to a lot of information that I don't. Even if the long-term goal was to set Kakao up for success on KTA, seems like there should have been a way to do it without destroying the flagship team. Insec also just seemed like a really bizarre fit for KTB stylistically.

ktb seemed like completely dependent on their fast push strats in s3. without that they fell apart.

Save is the most overrated player to ever touch the game. The ONLY reason he was arbitrarily claimed as the best top laner in the world was because they put him on carry champions when Blaze started doing really shitty with Flame and people desperately wanted someone they could call the best. Hell, Save couldn't even stay consistent for ONE damn split and was clearly not half as good when his shyvanna got banned. Calling someone the best in the world is so fucking stupid after they do well in like 5-10 games on comfort champions with 0 international competitive experience. He got completely outclassed in every possible way by Gogoing at Wolds and showed he wasn't even in the same league.

And absolutely cannot agree with Pawn being that low on that list. The whole reason why Ryu couldn't win a championship was because he consistently got outclassed by his opponent, namely Faker. This wasn't the case for Pawn and Pawn at his peaks was definitely the better and more talented player.

Man I hope Looper finds a better team than M3, he's a contender for most underrated player of all time :/

I think kuro and score are more underrated than looper was on the whole. Mostly because even though kuro's 18-2 with viktor peeps still seem to blank out on him even though he's 1v5d the IM organization to relevance in LoL multiple times

Kuro has only been a top player for like.... this split. He was below average every season before (and no, please don't use recent results to justify that he has always been good) when you consider the fact that the other mid laners were Dade, Pawn, Faker, Ggoong, and rising talent like Rookie and Coco who showed up WAY more than Kuro.

Also lol.. when you have to put Nofe and Expession on this list that tells you the game isn't old enough for a list like this.

People count TSM's loss against GamingGear.eu at S3 worlds, despite them running a quadruple lane swap. Community doesn't seem to care if you're trolling, if you lose you lose.

When seven different teams win eight different tournaments with only six players ever getting two championships you kind of run out of players to put in a top 10 list. You can't just say they don't deserve to be on the list without putting someone else in.

Besides NoFe super underrated zzz

Why are we grouping NoFe and Expession together? Expession was a cut above MaKNooN and Shy at their absolute peaks if we just look at the laning phase, and while it is true that he had a weak mentality and a general ineptitude when it comes to looking at the game holistically, under the right circumstances we're basically talking about the Flame of season 2, and NoFe for all the carrying he did for MVP Blue was just another cerebral jungler with weak mechanics like CloudTemplar, and was just one of the top junglers in an era where Korea had yet to have truly superb players in that position. Expession was respected and feared throughout the entire Korean solo-que and professional scene in an era where numerous Korean teams was a lot more dependent on having a superstar top laner.
