Yeah fnatic vs WE is the best finals possible, they've just been absolutely by far the two best teams this tournament.

That's the problem with being #1, everyone does their HW. Now everyone knows how to deal with TPA, do what Fnatic does.

Strong play by fnatic, well deserved win.

TPA's defeat is all on Lilballz and Mistake, those guys really got to pick up their game because the only games they win are when Stanley split pushes well or Bebe gets super farmed and 1v5's late game

I would argue that part of it is how aggressive tempo-carrying mids have more or less rediscovered themselves after Worlds.

Honestly speaking, if you have a passive farming mid against a ganking mid, the jungler that's carrying the tempo for the farming mid's team is going to be 100% outganked by the ganking mid once he comes online. This isn't something that Ballz can do something about because Diana or Eve coming out mid will have more levels, more farm, and more damage than you. The onus is on the other mid laner to express their stronger laning and greater teamfight presence, and on the whole these defensive, teamfight mids haven't been able to do that unless the big guns of teamfight mids (Ori, Anivia) have been left open for them.

This isn't a problem that's exclusive to just Toyz. In general, the passive farming mids this tournament have not put up a good showing, particularly when the big game-changer passive mid champs are out of the pool.

This shouldn't surprise anyone. The Q evolution is by far the least practical for teamfighting. It's only really good for solo kills, but those are going to be rare in a competitive setting.

The W evolution has been the most common first choice for quite a while now.

The reason I placed TPA was because they were in a slump before Worlds, and history has shown that it's hard for teams to get out of slumps. There were signs they could break that slump and I ignored it and therefore wrote an inaccurate article.

That being said, Fnatic played very well and showed they did their homework.

Fnatic is a pleasure to watch because not only do they play well, they actually draft well too I feel. Too many teams just discard the drafting phase where as you can see how much pressure TPA is under just because of fnatics drafting.

Bo5 with a 1 game advantage is fair. I think making one team win two Bo3 series is too much.

Wait why does Fnatic need 3? Is it a bo3, and then if Fnatic wins it is just a bo1?

Not bad Fnatic.

Assassin comp seems to be the bane of TPA. I guess it makes sense since assassins like small skirmishes, which TPA's style plays right into due to Stanley preferring to splitpush. Not to mention Lilballz tendency to be super under-farmed makes him free food for high damage champs.

Did anyone see what Soaz's evolutions were on Kha? I only caught the end of the game, but it looked like he had E,W, and R. Does anyone know the order he got them?

Worlds would have gone very differently if people were able to scout TPA.

W first, then E. The choice between Q and R is kinda situational imo, but iirc the other time Soaz picked up Kha against TPA he went Q for the final evolution.

Bo5 with 1 game advantage for WE from what I've read here. So WE needs to win 2 games, Fnatic 3.
