Also I can't find what final they lost 3:0. LPL summer they lost 2:3, Season Finals they beat Royal 2:1 in Winner's Finals and then lost to them 1:3 in Grand Finals. They are still 7-1-0 in LPL Spring, I'm willing to bet that the gap between them and current T1K can't be that big.

I think bringing Mandu back was a big mistake on SKT's part. I'm not saying he was the reason for their loss, but it was an unnecessary disruption, and I feel like it would have sent the message that SKT had some sort of problem that needed 'fixing', which would have undermined the coaches' confidence in the team. | ||

Apparently Mandu didnt even expect to play....he was streaming WoW until 3am and said he was going out for food with Mata and then go watch the games together....then Casper suddenly couldnt play and SKT's coach saw Mandu there and just dragged him in.... To put it in perspective, Mandu hasnt been playing League seriously anytime before the games, if any at all. Hes been streaming a lot of WoW and Lineage with the occasional troll league game (soraka top..kayle jungle etc) | ||

I guess Casper had personal reasons then and didn't get benched just for the sake of trying mandu again? | ||

KTB swaps in Insec for his first tournament (Not including masters) in 8 months, look really weak, then sweep 7-0 SKT K just swapped in Mandu after a needed break, got *effectively* knocked out by KTA, looked really weak, and now they just need to sweep All-stars 9-0 for that repeat. If this happens then at least for the beginning of 2014 we can say Korea dominates top to bottom | ||

I've tried searching on TL, but all I got was a closed post that was purely in Chinese. THanks! You aren't supposed to. There is a chinese youtube like thing where you used to be able to find game though. I haven't checked since the rebroadcasts started. I think it was called youku? | ||

Ro8 draw will be probably key. Because Ozone can hit NJBS and one of favourites will be eliminated instantly for example. If Frost can fix their transition from mid to late game problems, i don't see why they can't make at least Ro4, they're totally capable of beating anyone in this tournament. Ozone are probably main favourites after SKT elimination, KT A, Blaze and NJBS are somewhere near but NJBS can still fail in groupstages again.
