i wouldn't be surprised at a 2-1 eu win at this point. but anything goes The problem here is that EU has mentioned that they have no had much practice time together. See this: Show nested quote +Q: There was some trouble getting sOAZ into the country. Will your lack of training have influence on your upcoming matches?
sOAZ: Of course, as we've missed four days of practice. It's worse for us and better for the other teams, but we'll talk more today and see what we can do against the Koreans.
How did EU bootcamp? Was it just online like Gambit usually does?
If so, I'd imagine problems might crop up.

Doublelift best adc, just a shame NA couldnt close it out

NA got outclassed in the end, but I hope it puts a stop to the trash talk against NA. I think most of the mistakes were just poor decision making - I didn't see a huge mechanical skill gap that people talk about. Don't regret getting up at 3am before work to watch...yet TT.

Well, Jatt said that SV couldn't smite cuz he was CC'd by crescendo.
I doubt thats true though

Yea, that's wrong. You can smite while stunned.

To be fair to NA, they used that early game comp really well. In particular Doublift's Urgot was brilliant, and the Chinese didn't seem to know how to deal with him.
But then NA seemed to lose the plot - slowing things down, farming, letting China get back into it, and losing a Baron. Then they decided they needed to press their midgame advantage with an incredibly dangerous towerdive. It was badly judged, too late, and things just went downhill from there.

IIRC you can smite through everything except silence and suppress
|
Its k. Na team gets participation ribbons. And you guys got it all wrong. NA is not worst team. They are the best throwers. Need to apply for javelin toss in track and field.

i think they got knocked up by baron while being under sona's ulti, not sure if knock ups prevent smite tho.

NA had a chance to win in both those games but they couldn't capitalize on their advantages. Dumb mistakes here and there that cost them the match. Loved the lee sin vs teemo video tho ^^. Time for korea to win fighting!~

Ah, Xiaoxiao did miss a Sona ult on the 2nd ocassion they gank Urgot toplane. Just though I should point this out so Xiaoxiao will live up to his reputation.

I believe they were going to boot camp after gathering in china, but they had visa issues. Source:

There was a video out interviewing 2 of the 5 who were still in the fnatic house(I believe) around 2 days before their trip explaining a bit more, but I'm too lazy to find that right now.
