TBH I feel like M5 is overrated. They dominated before the asian teams started showing up at international tournaments. CLG.EU has had more success against asian competition than M5 has. Diamondprox and Alex are very good but their bot lane is kinda weak and Darien is hit or miss.

Clg.eu/Crs.eu/m5, are up there in skills. Korea probably has most "top tier" teams per capita though. China is pretty iG and WE right? and TPA is the only good team from Taiwan. SEA region is pretty much worse than NA scene, right now.
The main thing that will pull Korea ahead in the long run is the fact that LoL is more or less the premier E-sports game at the moment. LoL has a lot more to compete with in China (DotA among other things), so the talent pool isn't as deep--which is why successful new teams springing up in China is rarer right now than in Korea.

Rengar is ridiculous, but so is Caomei.
Caomei is kinda known for being super overextended getting ganked and losing lane a lot.
I mean, it's pretty bad when even your Coach makes jokes about you overextending and dying(!)

He's vastly improved over the last 5-6 months. Probably one of the biggest factors in WE's dramatic rise.

Genja never really adapted to the ADC holy trinity Corki/Ez/Graves and that hurt them a lot.

No longer "the king of first blood".
I only saw a little bit of their games from the Tencent Carnival (so behind in VoD watching T.T), but he seemed rather average (although not giving up First Blood). Any good games you can suggest to check out how he's improved?
So Group A: Azubu Blaze vs. Fnatic Group B: Loser of CLG.eu/CLG.na vs. Fear Group C: Singapore Sentinels vs. Winner of TSM/Meat Playground Group D: M5 vs. Curse.na
Winner of these games will get into the upper bracket

Groupstage game vs iG he looked really good. Weixiao and Misaya played pretty mediocre, but Caomei stepped up and basically took over the game.

Ah, I skipped the Group Stage games. Ok, will make a note to watch them then.
