Congrats to Fnatic, they played superbly and glgl to them in the Semis! No one is saying that Fnatic only won because of the level 1 in Game 3. Please keep the nationalistic statements out of our subforum.
2. Riot's Worlds format is atrocious. Let's not beat a dead horse here. I will certainly be talking to Riot's eSports dept about it in the near future.
I simply ask everyone to be civil. Humble in victory, graceful in defeat. Enjoy the games~

i cannot for the life of me figure out the reasoning for that
I think you are discounting the one obvious reason.
They suck.
i suppose so. but it doesn't exactly take someone who doesn't suck to simply look bengi/impact up on leaguepedia and go "hmm no aatrox played ever."
to be fair they did play it a lot in solo queue and probably in scrims

You mean Riot buffs Ryze/Ez?
TBH I don't see the point of Ryze over something like Cassiopeia, she has better range, more mobility, deals more damage and has better CC. Yes, she does deal more dmg even when built very tanky.
Well, no. Taiwan got its own region qualifier with GAB is the winner. While SEA got a seperated region qualifier with Mineski...and well SEA sucks so much more than NA. Taiwan is Taiwan not SEA.
sure but Taiwan still worse than NA. old TPA was a huge exception to the power strength of Taiwan/SEA/HK.
Gama Bears doesn't look any better or worse than not-C9
...serious? You people hate on NA too hard. Go rewatch TSM v. SKT game 1 and say that they're doing worse or on par with Gama Bears.
How can you compare that. It's like sayin that Vulcun is better than C9 cause their win vs Fnatic was more convicing.
Lol strawman much? nothing I said even implies that.
You compared Bears game 2 & TSM's game 1 vs SKT as an argument that TSM is better than Bears. I was pointing out how absurd the transitive argument is, since you can compare Vulcun's G1 vs Fnatic with one of C9's games vs Fnatic by the same rules. I'm not convinced you know what a strawman argument is if you think that's one.
when did I compare Bears game 2?
Okay, Bears overall performance against SKT then. You still compared it with one specific game of TSM vs SKT, as an argument that TSM is better.
I'm not even saying TSM isn't better, just that it's a leap to compare 2 teams based on how they did against one single opponent. Imo Gama Bears' style matches up horribly against SKT's and I believe they would do quite well against many other teams at this tournament.
I'm not trying to attack you or anything. I'm just genuinely curious - how much of GPL/Taiwanese games have you watched?
I will admit that it's a bit of a bad comparison and Gama Bears are probably better than their match against SKT showed, but I honestly believe that Taiwan/SEA/HK is worse than NA.

I think after game 1 they were extremely confident against GB.

But Dade can only play Ryze/Ez/Zed
Ah my point was that Cassiopeia can be played similarly to Ryze in many ways

I'm so glad you linked this. This was what I was excited for after seeing Faker pick Lissandra, and he did not disappoint. Faker's ability to just pull out picks/champions is really amazing. True talent and skill.
