Edit. This is why I find Corki offensive (aesthetically), just like the BT>LW Varus builds that are so lame. | ||

He wasn't serious and 2. People got ticked off about it since TSM, at the time, was recognized as the stronger team in the western world, and so there was enough reason to back that claim that people legitimately thought he was serious. xPeke, in particular, actually called out regi before their game and got smashed lol. | ||

Wouldn't have made a difference if Puszu played Varus instead (might have been even better for the additional pick potential) | ||

kinda getting a feeling this is all some conspiracy trying to make EU and NA look good. I mean sktt1 and the second chinese team in group a.... and group B is much more stacked then A. but it's teams capable of beating each other. Plus automatically getting 3 seeds for Worlds... If you win all stars you get 4. I mean with this format... I think it's best to give every region that participates equal amounts of seed. Because we can't forget that TPA which is coming from not even Chinese league or any of the big leagues out there won last year. Maybe they should've had a seed for last year's champion. If we do it by champions league style, where we have league points and who ever performed good in world's or other international competitions have more seeds... Then it would give those leagues with 1 or 2 seeds like... basically no chance bringing that seed level higher... So that isn't fair... But if we keep this seed amount static then if NA or EU wins all stars they get 4 seeds and all the others get 2 or less. But EU, NA and Korea has 3 seeds so, if China or some other team comes out on top... that will be really funny to see. But I don't think C9 will be that good as everyone think they're going to be... I think Royal Club and Gamania Bears are so unknown that they're going to have some shocks coming quarter finals. One defense I have for Koreans teams and there meta is that... because they're so noticed that whenever one of their mains or champs play well for a extended series it always gets nerfed. I mean Dade had most of his champions nerfed, Zac got nerfed ( I agree with the zac nerf though)... But regions like SEA, CHINA etc... get like no recognition, so even though they have some op champ mains... They still get to keep them? | ||

Zac nerfs really hurt SKT T1. Impact's best champion is arguably Zac and now teams don't even have to bother to waste a ban on it. Also, the fact that Corki + Triforce is super popular hurts Piglet as well since Corki and most good Triforce users aren't female. Corki counters (Kog and Graves) are also all male and since Corki is a must pick/ban, Piglet is screwedddd. On a more serious note, I think the EU and perhaps NA teams have a slight edge in the bot lane since they've been around longer and have seen Corki at the height of his popularity and can probably adapt/deal with Corki much better than the Koreans who basically have never played with a powerful Corki. Pardon my ignorance of the Korean scene, what's being male or female has to do with Piglet? As for Corki, wasn't CJ Frost the second of S2 when Corki was pretty good at that time? | ||

Call it what you will, but I really don't ever remember Ozone playing this badly. The fact that mata died to Gambit's bot lane 2v2 speaks a lot to me. That wasn't genja and voidle outplaying them, but rather mata making a really terrible mistake when he had absolutely no damage to finish off the sona. Then there were today's games against fnatic where Dade roamed top pre 6 (wtf?) and Dandy dived the tower for a kill when he was bound to die 100% if he did and hoped to just trade 1 for 1 when he could've backed. Obviously, even korean players are capable of playing terribly, having bad decisions, missing skillshots, etc., but these were mindblowingly bad plays in particular. I don't think replacing Homme was as big of a factor as people make it out to be though. Obviously Ozone had good reasons for this and Homme was probably not performing well before Worlds. It also isn't just Dade either at this point and you really can't pin everything on him when the other lanes start to lose. But leading into this it wasn't just OGN fans that thought korea was the best region, but all the pros who watched the games were impressed. They said they were beatable, but they considered them the favorites. Not just this but Ozone had really good scrim records against OMG and Lemondogs and felt confident going into the group stages. I guess we'll see how SKT holds up tomorrow as their loss and early game disadvantage against lemondogs were excusable and Lovelin made some really big plays to answer Faker. SKT really shouldn't have as many excuses as Ozone does for their terrible performance here. In any case, I don't expect Ozone to recover mentally. They look broken, their coach is now coaching dota, and their mentality was just terrible coming into this. They didn't show enough respect for their opponents and once they started losing they became frustrated and started playing worse and worse because they thought they were far above their opponents. | ||
