Two things as public notice: 1. + Show Spoiler [Quarterfinals 1 spoiler] + 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~ -Neo, Sept 23rd, 3:20 PM PDT, page 120 | ||

OMG had a pretty intelligent comp (lulu & shen to take care of zed), and did some nice play on the side, killing some people by picking them in the river, but really what's the point in playing anything else than an assassin ? They got completly stomped during all team fights, and sure OMG should have positionned better and played better, but what's the point in picking a team oriented comp if you can just pick hyper carry and instantly shit on the other team if they don't play perfectly ? | ||

If Fnatic get caught up too much in the hype and focus too hard on trying to shut down Uzi, they will lose. Even though Uzi is their star, Royal's game is really won and lost on their solos. Even if Uzi gets shut down, his ability to farm from behind is insane and he will always be relevant again by the time he's needed, whereas it's much more important for their solo laners to get the snowball rolling. It's really on Cyanide and xPeke to recognize this, because if they focus too much on pressuring bot lane, and let Godlike and Wh1t3zz do their thing, they will lose the game. | ||

They always play their game and stick with their style, they don't watch the opposing team and say "omg we have to do this to counter them". So far it's been working great for them, we'll have to see how they adapt to the chinese ultra aggressive style but I think they can handle it since they like running TP, which should help backing up lanes that are dived. They also haven't played either of the teams who have 1 player who's so scary to invite that kind of hype, though. | ||

I think it has a lot more to do with the general population being less exposed to outside scenes than TL as a whole. Probably two thirds or more of reddit never knew who faker was until the zed play. The idea that a team that dumpstered NA LCS(C9) would go out first round in quarters was unthinkable for so many of the more casual players who followed only LCS. Having yango constantly telling us that XXX or YYY is best XXX in the world helps as well. | ||
