someone remind me why their comp from the 1st game today was not suitable for this game?
why didnt they do something like the double AD comp like before?

Kassadin sorta dumps on double AD if he gets through the early game all right(this game he even got shut down really hard early and it didn't matter)


To be fair, dade gave all the advantage back. They could have applied a lot more pressure on kass if they didn't like Corki get back into the game.

I don't think this is a given. Fnatic has good incentive to try and knock Gambit out if they believe Gambit poses a bigger threat to them in the playoffs. I'm not sure how deep their friendship goes, but if I'm playing for hundreds of thousands of dollars, I'll take any edge I can get.


Why would Fnatic consider gambit a threat when they've pretty much won every game against them since recent times.

They could only meet in the finals, so I doubt it wil laffect Fnatic's decision of going lightly on Gambit.

Ozone shames Korea.


If Korea doesn't win worlds I think they can be contenders for being the most overhyped region considering two shots at worlds and zero titles.

I still think Najin will win.

That doesn't mean to say I think Korea isn't the best server, it clearly is, I'm just saying the feeling going into this worlds was Koreans would just walk over everyone, even SKT T1 has struggled at times.


People need to stop taking "Koreans are better than other region" out of context. The thing that makes Koreans better than other region isn't that their top teams are miles ahead of other region's top teams. It's the fact that they have more QUANTITY of top teams. The top European teams and Chinese teams had always been competitive with top korean teams; but it's almost the same 2-3 top teams for those regions. Whereas in Korea, the sheer amount of top teams coming out of nowhere is crazy. To put it in perspective, SKT1 wasn't even formed in the first round of OGN champions this season, and that was also KTB's first season afaik.

So yes, if you think of it that way, the korean competitve scene for LoL is stil way ahead from that perspective.

To be honest, EU and NA are both just playing way better than pretty much everyone expected, while Ozone is seriously underperforming in part due to Dade getting figured out, losing the experience of Homme, and the rest of the team just not playing up to par.

they have no incentive because the next round matchups are gonna be random, so no difference between 1st and 2nd in group stage. Why should they bother?

considering that gambit went 0-4 vs fnatic in LCS, and lost another one in worlds, it would be highly suspicious.
Gambit really just sucks vs. Fnatic

The thing is Korea had various logical problems with their circuit points. Getting Najin Sword and Ozone qualifying, because they both just got a seed based on it, and the rest of the current strong teams had to go through regionals.
They should have just made a system where the top teams have through go through each other again, and got a 1,2,3 spot.

I think SKT and KT Bullets were the clear 2 top teams of Korea recently. And it's questionable for SG Ozone vs CJ frost.

It's a fact that CJ blaze had problems with team chemistry and the team had a bad atmosphere causing it.. Like one of the members said that even though when they performed good, they didn't have a good team atmosphere, and they thought that they could just keep playing well even though they aren't all friendly with each other in the team.

I think Ozone had clear problems with Dade's champion pool being fucked prior to worlds.
But they also didn't have good game plan and clear losers to fnatic.

So 1.Skt 2. KT Bullets 3. I would think CJ Frost, because honestly they have more star players compaired to Najin and Ozone.


I agree with everything here, but don't count out Najin just yet. They did take a spot by default that could have gone to KTB, but they might yet surprise everyone.


I still think they have some good players but their top lane is weaker then what it used to be. Other lanes aren't star material, the only good team they beat in NLB was CJ blaze this season, and they weren't even in top 5 this season.


Almost everyone in Korea believes Expession is a much better top than Maknoon. He is/was regarded as good or better than Flame and Shy.

Ozone has to bring Homme back, just fly him over to LA right now. Its the only way to save the group (not sure if they even can now).

Homme was keeping all those punks in line, from laughing and throwing. Need that Korean Elder Golem up in this.

Don't know about that, but it's like 99% sure that if Gambit wants the 2nd spot, they can get it. If they pick some brainless teamcomp like today's game 1, Fnatic might punish them, but if they are serious, they only have to worry about Vulcun.


Except Gambit is like something like 0-7 vs Fnatic... Their play style just don't match up well.

I highly doubt this considering they already got penalized once. They'll probably hide strats and not try anything to interesting, but I'd expect they'll play their best considering they don't want to deal with any collusion accusations.


There's no way to prove an intentional throw if you are subtle enough with it. All they have to do is go even in the early game and then get caught a few times in the mid game.

Dade gave away the sure win but it was winnable even after 2 deaths. It was the biggest turning point in what should have been an ozone snowball but ozone could have made better plays and played better strategically.

Fnatic destroys Gambit every single game because Gambit has a complete mental block when playing them. 7 games in a row, and each one looks worse and worse for Gambit. Why would Fnatic give that up? If they let Gambit get a win back on them, maybe Gambit will actually have hope and start winning games against them. Gotta kick them when they're down and keep them there.

Ozone were in complete control. Fnatic played well -- extremely well -- but the two free kills were a complete throw and changed the game completely. To be fair, Imp also got caught out, and the dragon steal was a 2k shift for Fnatic, but those two straight deaths by Dade for no reason were a killer.
