MadLife Blitzcrank gonna show us how a support player can be better than someone else at their own role hopefully

AlexIch on Khazix not convinced though, maybe he trained with it but I dont remember him liking the AD mids :/

The rest of the team is good, don't be a jerk, in a team game, the result is made by the team.


Korean (and I guess asian teams in general) are simply at a higher tier than the other regions right now. Some european teams are close enough that they can contest some games and ocasionally win, but they are still inferior. And we all know where NA stands.

The simple true is that if xPeke had played at his team average level in the second game they would have lost, and in the third game they would have gotten destroyed. It doesn't mean his teammates are "terribad noobs" or something like that, they are still pros, but they got totally and consistently outplayed by their Azubu counterparts.

is there a writeup or something where i can read why this is? because LoL was released a lot later in Asia than in EU/NA?

Koreans are good for their top players, their support, and their junglers (kinda). Europeans mids are just better, froggen, xpeke, alexich all have their own style and tend to carry games a lot, unlike most korean mids who just farm, gank a little, but never have the impact those three have on their teams.
It's not entirely a question of individual skill, but also how teams consider theirselves, how they distribute farming, etc.

I've never be a fan of the NA team, but after this tournament I'm not sure anymore ...
Atm I'd say Fnatic best team outside korea, but then curse and CLG might come after them, I'm not convinced by M5 S3, and I think MRN and FeaR have some really decent potential

S3 man, anything can happen !

I wish Frost had better adc :/ They would be my favorite team.

Shy, MadLife and Cloudtemplar are arguably the best players of their roles imo.

I dont really agree with that. Misaya for example put alot of pressure on the enemy team. Or the huge amount of Khazix mid we see in OGN. There is a reason why mids like TF are often banned in OGN

Azubu delayed Blue makes sense with Azubu wanting to Blue Steal and then having the M5 immediate counter-invade not find anything but Shy dying top ruined that
