In the group stages they're a much more formidable team than Royal. With Royal, they're a super aggressive team fighting team, hoping to snowball early and get Uzi going. They rely on their unique picks like Fizz/Annie, and if they were to play eight games in the group stages, they would still be strong, but much more likely to be figured out. OMG are just solid. Their play style are like the Bullets with their great objective control, fast pushing and they can rely on their fundamentals to simply beat weaker teams. They also have Cool, an amazing mid laner who can stack up better with Faker, nukeduck, Regi, etc. than White, who would either look like a god, or he would start slow and become fodder by the time mid-game rolled along. Not saying OMG are going to go all the way, as I think SKT are better than them and will probably 2-0 them, but they're the most intriguing team for me in the group stages. There is a lot of hype around Cool, White even saying he is at the same level as Faker, so I want to see what happens when they go up against each other for the first time. Neither Faker or Cool have international experience, so there will be no "veteran edge" when they meet. Cool/Faker is the most intriguing match in terms of if Cool is the real deal/a potential mega star. Faker/Regi is the most intriguing match in terms of if you want to see Reginald sent to Dumpsterland and have a 20,000 comment thread on Reddit about how badly he got killed. As much as I'd like OMG to do well, I really think you're overhyping Cool. He's a good mid and the current meta is quite comfortable for him, but I don't rank him amongst the best in the world. I'd be happy to be proven wrong though. | ||

I also voted Mancloud vs dade for mid matchup, because I'm actually very excited to see how NA's best mid stacks up against a Korean mid laner. | ||

Everyone's just itching to see Regi get brutally destroyed in so many ways that he'll be filing for a lawsuit after the game because of how Faker violated him. | ||

I'm firmly on the Cool bandwagon, with Faker dumpstering everyone in Korea, Cool is like the only hope we have, and I think he will make a good showing. It'd be absurd to say cool is gonna shit on Faker or anything, but I really tink Cool can hold his own. | ||

The company , SK Telecom, is "SKT," and "T1" was the team name of the Brood War (and later SC2/LoL all ESPORTS teams under the brand) team. The proper name was SKT T1 but a lot of people shortened it to SKT1 and others mistakenly thought that was the name of the team, to the chagrin of many SKT fans. Personally I didn't care and I'm sure I've used SKT1 before too~ | ||

Didn't MVP Ozone visit Taiwan for some event recently? It's probably a reflection off that. Because the team name is "SK Telecom Team1", making it either "SKT" (what the team tag actually is in game) or "SKT T1". "SKT1" is just wrong and irks pretty much any BW veteran on this site. Edit: TIL another reason to be disappointed in Cheep. | ||

Edit: TIL another reason to be disappointed in Cheep. Yeah Ozone have frequently visited Taiwan/SEA actually. Probably has to do with the Sponsor Ozone and it wouldn't surprise me if hot6 was available in that region too, since they had that hot6ix commercial with the Ozone members and everything being played over there. Also Ozone completely wrecked everything whenever they visited. | ||
