Royal is a Poor Man's SK Telecom. You could argue Uzi and Piglet, but they play a similar style, but SKT just does it a lot better with their skirmishing, diving, and fighting across the map. Royal were really sloppy at times, but I think White and especially Uzi have some great skill.
Their Jungler I don't know about. I didn't watch LPL Summer, but I haven't really been impressed by him. Was he good in the regular season?
you cannot compare wh1t3zzzzz to faker
sorry, but it just doesn't work like that
royal is much more bottom heavy, i'd compare them more to CLG in korea (chaulift times)

No, Lucky's been the weakest player on Royal for a long time, but the lack of strong junglers in CN has been a problem since well before S2 finals.

Doubt it. Historically Royal is exactly like SKT T1 in reputation, carried by their mid and ADC, only they are a team built more around Uzi as opposed to T1 which was built around Faker.
Fionn go petition for CJ to sign Uzi for Blaze :D

Lucky is not a very consistent player. But Royal and OMG are the only teams playing with a brain. Good day for Chinese LoL scene, the two best performing team at the moment advanced.

Lucky is without a doubt their weakness.

That's why I said a Poor Man's SKT.
Their team compositions and styles are similar -- not the players (well, you could argue Piglet and Uzi).
In no way do I think White is close to Faker, but that's why I said Poor Man's SKT. If he was Cool, then they could be a Suburban School Teacher's SKT.

No, Wh1t3zz has not really been that stellar--you're giving him far too much credit.
Wh1t3zz is sort of weird because while he is extremely proficient at certain mid heroes, his ability to play the "basics" in the current game is very lacking (his Zed is mediocre and his Ori is un-pick-ably bad).
This is what leads to such weird drafts when its Royal vs. other Chinese teams because picking against them is a completely different ball game given that Wh1t3zz on mid is completely unlike any other mid player.

So they're like SKT if Faker was replaced by MidKing?

by that logic any team with a decent adc is a poor man's SKT
wh1t3zz is a competitive player, but not a carrying mid by any means
no matter the shit that i seem to be smearing though, royal very much deserve to be one of the two teams advancing atm. players like Uzi are the future for chinese league

but don't royal play usually a lot of assassins, try to pick up a lot of kills early, and rely on their playmaking abilities to win?
or do they play 4 protect 1 like old Impzone and CLG?
i need to watch more lpl T_T

AFAIK never 4p1. Honesly the most striking memory of White's games I remember were his Kassadin.

that's speaking way too generally. "assassins" in general are much more viable in the current patch due to the relatively little you lose from picking a high mobility champion - worst case scenario you have a very solid splitpusher, best case scenario you can instagib someone straight out of the enemy team, with only a few midlaners from the more lower mobility higher teamfight aoe control era still relevant in drafts (ori and karth)

They played 4 protects 1 back when they were losing games to everyone, lol. But this was like, LPL Spring. Overall their draft has evolved since Tabe rejoined the team.
Most of their success in LPL Summer has come from developing this style that is cognizant of their individual and team weaknesses.

From the regionals, it feels like Uzi and Cool are the superstars of China like Faker, Piglet, Imp, etc. in Korea.
Is there anyone else regarded as well as those two?
I'll probably watch some Royal/OMG LPL Summer games this weekend so I'm well suited for articles and such.

I really want to see Faker vs. Cool.
it was said recently by wh1t3zZ,(royal's mid white) that he thought Cool was better than Faker.
just hype ~

LoveLin is highly regarded, I preferred him when he was support though.

When he was on support he was widely considered the best support in China.
After the jungle switch, ehh...
