Seems like every team in EU LCS except EG has a manager.

I disagree. There is plethora of strategies from korea, and eu still hasn't adapted any of them. Eu only took champ picks, but they play it out completely different. And certain teams still going to have their own flavors.

Na is still pretty different in picks, vulcun, clg, tcg, ves, dig, rarely play full korean comps or play style.

eu is pretty varied as well. Atn, nip, ld [until today], gambit, also don't go full korean either.

tbh, both LCS are close enough where in the Bo1 weekly format, any team can take wins off any other team. :O
Summer >>>> Spring.

Maybe in term of suspense concerning the ranking but overall the games are way worst this season, in EU at least...

What I'm getting at is that picks and builds vary by a lesser degree than they used to from region to region, not that they don't vary at all.

So how does everyone feel about target-banning junglers? Compared to other positions, I feel like the number of viable champions for the jungling role is kind of limited, especially for how influencial the position can be. For a team that is heavily reliant on their jungler, like Gambit Gaming, I feel like target banning the jungler can be a successful strategy. Diamondprox's influence over early the game seems to drop off heavily after his favourite champions are taken away, a weakness that is commonly seen amongst Korean junglers too (the ones I'm familiar with).

It has nothing to do with lesser degree; but more so that it has to do with how 2v1's shaped the way certain champs are picked. Also; a lot of picks from NA/EU also moved to Korea. Elise jungle was something NintendudeX did WAYYY before anyone else did; fiddle support by elementz since season 2. Jungle picks have been pretty universal by all regions just due to lack of jungle variety.

Picks being somewhat homogenous has more to do with poor balancing than anything else. The playstyle of each team is still pretty characteristic though.
