EPTI have no idea what will happen, all I hope is for some crazy strats and comps to be pulled out of the hat. Not just standard samey champion pools as always (I'm betting on this mostly for Royal, SKT has no flexibility). Would be great if it's a 3-2, but my gut feeling says 3-0/3-1 for SKT.

They played a lot better in teamfights and overall map movement and all that stuff, which showed by the way they were constantly picking up kills and winning fights, but got severely outclassed during the laning phase. Haha new Cyanide post : "Hm seems that a lot of people disagree with me when i said we were better individually, i didnt actually check the farm of the lanes too much however i felt like we had a strong early all games expect the first which normally means lanes are winning. Maybe it was just from my perspective as i was kinda fed most of the games so we had good control. I would have to watch the games (which i will) to know for sure." | ||

From what he saw in tf, whitezz performed terribly. Thats cos he doesn't know how to play those champs. (DW he still dumpstered xPeke in lane) | ||

Everyone on TL thinks Royal can't win unless they majorly steup up their game, and even Royal players think that. Wouldn't matter who they were playing, people are thinking Royal won't win because of Royal, not because of their opponents. | ||

White tweets: When other mid player did not play well, they were underperform; When I did not do well, I was criticized that I was a noob. poor guy ;; skt is super favored imo | ||

the najin sword we saw against t1 would have crushed the semifinalists from the other bracket. but royal could very well raise their game again to put up a good fight. | ||

Piglet/Poohmandu + Faker won't lose lanes like Fnatic did yesterday so if Lucky is horrible in the finals like yesterday Bengi & Co will win the games pretty easily tbh | ||

That is the reason why Cyanide actually think fnatic is better individually, while they clearly are not : they were so dominant in team fight, just look at the score, that it blinded him from what permitted royal to win those games. | ||

Both teams push HARD on objectives when they have an advantage, and both teams have very tightly coordinated, well-executed team fights. The series should be a blast. | ||

I thought he would have reviewed the games before making such comments. Surely he knows that making conclusions based on high adrenaline moments is silly. | ||

Interestingly enough Tabe stated that in the very few games they actually managed to take off SKT during their scrims they had to it to like 40-50 minutes games and work incredibly hard at even managing to close out the match, while in all their losses the game was basically over after 10 minutes.

I could understand how he maybe was very frustrated and heated in the moment which lead to that statement. Happens to everyone from time to time. | ||

Also Royal stated in every interview so far that SKT has completely been stomping them in the scrims they had for Ro8 and Ro4. There are many reasons why SKT are the favourites and it's definitely not only the old "SC hype" that carried over.Royal has a fair shot of course, but you shouldn't be surprised that many people would put their money on SKT. Koreans are not good teamplay, thats why they fail in dota and fps. | ||
