This is just pure conjecture with no sources of cross-referencing what-so-ever. There's just way of proof, or dis-proof when it comes to these kind of discussions where we just "imagine" how a series would play out based on our judgements. For example, are you that sure that the bottom-lane of Cloud9 would be strong enough to withstand the might of Uzi? Who is to say that the snowballing of the advantages from that lane alone would ruin everything else for Cloud9? We can draw certain conclusions from watching these games, but the fact of the matter is, saying such things really holds no weight, especially when you're dragging up the subject of the relative strength of Cloud9, which is something that not even the players of Cloud9 could not know for sure.

Further more, due to the set-up of Season 3 World Championship, I would go as far as to say that Cloud9 has just as much chance as having their tournament run end without having met a single Chinese team.

Yes, but I was pointing those examples out because those are the plays that really stuck out to me as "wow that's really bad".
And knowing that OMG is one of the top (if not the best) teams in China, I really didn't expect that. There are many other things I question as well.

Some more examples if it helps-
in game 2 ez/janna go for 2man dragon after the huge fight despite it being obvious they couldn't get it because of how low they were. Meanwhile, renek is taking blue. If you're gonna go for the dragon at least go for it all together, or just take blue and back. It was facepalm worthy and resulted in getting their tower pressured from backing so late.
I also don't agree with the annie pick at all. It's very risky. I can see why they would want it alongside jarvan because of the instantaneous AOE stun, but that's the only thing she provides pretty much. I'd rather have Nami/Zyra that can do a similar job while providing so much more utility.
They seem to be way behind the trends as well. So much focus on ganks/kills over towers. Also lack of vision and tons of diving despite said lack of vision.

For starters, I am questioning their mid and late-game decision making, which has so far shown to be lacking. I am not questioning their early game and laning proficiency and Uzi is definitely the ADC I rate as strongest from what I have seen.

And my dear friend, surely you don't expect me to reference any studies or the sort of LOL in general. One of the points of this forum is to debate and share what little knowledge we have on the issue.
