were... you... expecting them to? ? ..
Well, I am kind of hoping teams will give Korean teams challenges. This is a new season after all. Some will argue this is still early in season, but if you don't start to challenge Korean teams now, when will it be?
The "Seasons" dont matter LoL is still LoL even with the big changes in s3 patch. The problem is and has always been that the koreans know how to try while the western players grind away in soloQ.

lol ok ocelate.
SK was ahead mid and bot for quite a while. Lost top by a huge margin though. Frost only started winning mid and bot after that unnecessarily sloppy bot lane fight.
IEM never learns about their overlays. first Kevin was germanized (he's polish) and now rekkles is back :o
Fnatic going with a strategy like frost going shy on vayne and cloudtemplar on nunu as well as the standard bot lane. It didn't work due to the fact that ktb picked mordekaiser and just ulted one of them but al doesn't have morde so I'm curious how it'll go this time.

I think the problem is if you don't actually put in the prep to know what the enemy is comfortable and draft yourself in a corner it doesn't matter about your potential. The previous poster mentioned Oce is the brains behind the team and if that's all he's got I fear for them.
Haha, just a few days ago I posted in GD about a game where I was Koggles and had a Nunu jungle + Lulu support and how well that worked out for the adc.
Didn't know that it would be viable in competitive play though, I can see this working with Cait/Kog/Vayne
Also very cool how Cyanide is buying the Sightstone first giving room for nRated to stack gp10 before his sightstone.
