The entire team was woefully unprepared for Najin's strat. ¤#!$ fanboys. Sorry that was rude. But please, give us a break. Hotshot is the biggest problem on this team. Have you ever watched them stream scrims? Nothing is ever his fault. Just no. Ontopic: Love Najin Sword. Great play, they just ran CLG over.  | ||

Im pretty sure while NA team practices might not practice as much as a team, they still play a ton of solo que... so how is there just a big skillcap difference top. | ||

Like to me this game is very match up and knowledge based where playing the lane over and over will let you have an advantage as long as your not being heavily counterpicked.

Implying you meet good players in solo-q. | ||

There's a pretty simple analogy to this from bw, if someone wants to practice muta vs marine micro, is it more efficient to practice it by playing 1v1s on a regular map or micro map? | ||

Counter picks is just something people say when they're in a hard lane and they play it badly instead of just saying, "I played badly." | ||

I wouldn't take Hotshots performance there as typical of the NA scene. I may be proved wrong over this weekend, but to me he looked rusty (hopefully from Jungling for so long). Lets see how TSM does against Korea. | ||

There are so many champions who have safe lanes in this game that there are very few true "counter picks." Most lanes are favorable or unfavorable and who wins the lane depends largely on who the better player is imo. Counter picks is just something people say when they're in a hard lane and they play it badly instead of just saying, "I played badly." There is arguably lanes that have an innate advantage over others though. Although I agree with you when you say it largely has to do with player skill. | ||

It's more like there's no really good NA tops out there (probably the worst region compared to EU, Korea + China), so even when they practice against each toerh they don't really improve. Dyrus if I remember right talked about how he wasn't able to get away with any of the mistakes that are normal in his play with NA players because the better players in other regions punished him so hard for them whereas NA tops wouldn't so he never learned properly | ||

You're absolutely right that people play badly and blaming the match-up, hurting the credibility of counter picks. If all you're saying is that it's overrated than I agree, However there are some very lopsided match-ups. | ||
