If KT wins, Ozone will have to go through regionals. If SKT wins, 3rd place gets them a guaranteed spot, 4th puts them in regionals. | ||

Clearly, it isnt as black and white as this, but I just feel the difference in understanding and level of play makes the EU/NA so unappealing. Anyone else experiencing the same "problem"? | ||

After following professional BW since 2001/2 and a couple of years of SC2, you get so accustomed to absolute crisp execution, flawless strategy and so on. When I try to watch the EU LCS now, I just see so many sub-optimal plays (in my newb understanding of this game that is) that I really cant finish a game any more. For instance I tried to watch G1 of GMB vs. EG today. GMB had dual globals (shen + karth) and a lee sin that is an amazing gap closer, and still there was only one ult (defensive shen ult) in the first 13 minutes of the game. Watching it feels like so much potential going to waste and so few "free" advantages unused when you compare it to the 5-6 best korean teams. The strategy of pick/ban and making the team comp work for you, just seems like something they can do in korea.

Plenty of people sure bitch about it the LCS LR threads hue. | ||

It's like college vs pro. There's still plenty to like about college football/basketball, even when technically pros are playing at a higher level. | ||

For me it's the same, although I watch handpicked games of the teams I really root for in NA/EU. Yet in the KR scene I absolutely try to absorb every drop of content that I can get. The thing that needs to be noted here though, is that from my experience it seems much worse and gets much more apparent to the somewhat knowledgeable spectator in a team game than it might be in a 1v1 game when your execution is laking, as long as you're still facing an opponent of roughly your level of play. It's hard to explain, but because the crisp execution in LoL relies very heavily on extremely crisp coordination aswell, a mediocre execution will look much worse than it actually is IMO. So, these NA/EU teams might look really bad if you compare them to the top Koreans, but they're still really fucking good nonetheless, it's just that they pale so greatly in comparison. | ||
