To me, the biggest difference is Impact vs. Homme. Homme is pretty much perfect Ozone and almost no other team in the world. You couldn't just pick up Homme, send him to Frost or Blaze, and expect him to do well. He's good at what he does -- being the utility top laner, picking Yorick, Shen, and Zac, and he does his job while Dandy, Dade and Imp are the top three options. Impact is severely underrated currently. He pretty much came into the season as the same thing as Homme, and he even mentioned himself that he is a lot of times a utility top lane, but he also has the talent to play Kennen, Diana, Vlad, or any of the champions Homme plays. Dade showed a lot of nerves in the Champions semifinals and third place match, but when he's on or confident -- like he was against Ambition and Blaze -- then he's fucking scary. Also, here's a preview of Group A I did for Riot. You can throw it on the front page: http://na.lolesports.com/articles/worlds-preview-group Neo's doing Group B, so you can pretend it's Liquid previewing. | ||

Huge reason why they were able to beat MVP and KT B. It's hard to deny that he definitely had a bigger impact and outplayed Dandy that series. Imp is overall a better ADC, I'll concede to that, but I don't think he outclasses Piglet. Piglet still needs to think more about his actions rather than relying on his reflexes. In lane they are even and that's huge. Faker is > Dade simply for his champion pool. Faker's ahri > Dade's, faker's gragas > dade's. At least for dade if you ban out Zed you're kind of in an okay spot. | ||

i do think that t1 sees ozone as the target they were chasing after for all this time, a rivalry that motivates them to improve constantly. it's really remarkable how fast t1 overall has improved in every facet, from individual play to team level strategy. | ||

When did they play besides spring? And in spring they were 2-5 | ||

It's crazy how fast they've improved since forming. From solo q warriors to best in korea. I remember reading mata's interview after spring saying how faker and piglet were really good but would be so good if he could play on their team and coached them. | ||

Typically the flight from China/Korea to the US takes 22 hours~ From what I read from Chobras twitter is that the OGN crew, SKT1 and Ozone are on the plane, most likely Sword won't leave yet since they don't have to play in groups so they have more time to prepare | ||

At least Piglet knew him. Faker is more modest than he seems. For a 16 year-old, his self control and work ethic is outstanding. | ||
