I think KT is going to roll benq if straight knowledge of the game and counter picks.
This is true but I'm sure Gambit knows this as well, after all Koreans copy Gambit

I just thought that NA scene would have some hope because LoL is a lot easier than SC2 mechanically.

Well after downing a few drinks and thinking on this, all I have to say is..Curse I still believe!
I'd like to think this will only further put the fire under Curse's rear to keep trying and working harder then ever ><!

Feels like isolating the regions is only making the gaps bigger.

I'm pretty sure everyone saw that coming.

In an ideal world we'd be able to get all the regions fighting each other and hopefully they'd all shine and play on a super high level but that's unlikely to happen due to well all number of things. It's something every fan of the pro scene I am sure would love to see.

Their is a very clear gap between top eu teams and top na teams, top eu teams are actually competitive with the koreans.

I think the NA scenes problems is their picks. They keep picking champions with large power points too late in the game. Either because of levels or items. The game isn't being played over 40-50 minutes anymore. How players are still dying to 3-4 minute tower dives is beyond me. I think this is why EG has been getting dunked lately also.
You can't build your team around the 30+ minute team fight anymore, you need a strong early game, with a non-retarded lategame comp.

Soooo are the Curse v KT B matches worth watching? Was watching UFC and don't wanna scroll through for spoilers, nothing in op...

Outside of Gambit, I'm not too sure. EG hasn't been impressive lately and had to completely change how they play. I still don't trust Fnatic, and am skeptic of SK.

If you want to watch KTB, sure.

Isn't it kinda unfair to really judge these games when the NA teams have actual LCS matches that they care about earlier in the day? Gambit and KT get free scouting and don't have to worry about shit.

not unfair at all, NA lost because they got outclassed, has nothing to do with specific scouting
