In the second game, SKT had a chance, but leona was playing well. All her CC was going for broke, and it worked out quite well. I don't know how a flash ult/q from leona and getting chain CC'd afterwards from elise and jax is now considered throwing by easyhoon. We should be congratulating Prime. They brought back Jax! He has been severely underplayed recently in Korea after how well he did at S3 worlds. Shyvanna is really weak against him post 6, and it didn't help Marin miscalculated Jax damage potential pre 6 without ignite (he probably though he could simply just W away if he did flash). Prime's team comp really reminded me of Naijin Black Sword vs SKT at worlds where they had the split push Jax comp. It also was nice to see the sick teleport plays like the one on Annie early game. SKT always have played streaky, and people are right, ban out ziggs and renekton, and they lose their primary champs. Prime came in with legit strategies and it looked like SKT S simply underestimated them thinking an easy 2-0 against them. It would be too stupid for SKT to throw games so soon after AHQ incident. There is no gains to be had, since both teams are well known for being relatively strong. Also, there is one thing nobody pointed out. Since they have to go back to NLB, it is in Prime's interest to NOT have SKT T1 K go back with them. That is possibly the worst thing to happen. I'd rather have SKT T1 S in NLB vs K. If you all think SKT threw this game, then so did Stork by not getting dragoon range against Bisu in MSL finals, and again when he got stomped by Flash going the same greedy builds over and over again. | ||

people who have an emotional, 100% sure of themselves, complete denial of conspiracy theories regardless of the facts are just as stupid, if not more so, than the nutjobs that are 100% sure that the conspiracies are real. | ||

They ask god about the moon landing and the JFK assassination. God says the moon landing was real and Oswald was the only shooter. One of the theorists leans over to the other and whispers "See, I told you it went all the way to the top." | ||

As champion reliant as people say SKTS is, KTA is just as swingy from their peak performance and lowest. Not to mention that Kakao and Arrow were relatively new to the team at the time. | ||

Nothing during the games looked shady, and S's reaction to the loss was what you would expect from an outcome they didn't in any way want. | ||

And yet I've seen people list a whole bunch of suspicious behavior. People aren't going to smile after an intentional loss. | ||

You don't think it's possible for them to beat SKT S, an inferior team? of course i think it's possible, did you even read what i posted? my whole point was that anyone who is certain about what really happened is a dumbass. not that it is particularly relevant, but how exactly did you come to the conclusion that Arrows is a superior team compared to S? was it from watching their head to head matchup this season?

I haven't seen anyone post anything that was actually suspicious, just a few posts like 'omg easyhoon played so bad obviously throwing' and that one post with some bullets that were all easily explaiend. Links/quotes? There's also a difference between 'not smiling' and looking convincingly disappointed. This is witch hunting, nothing else.

This is a common and faulty mindset. They are some of the best players in the world AT PLAYING THEIR BEST TO WIN. They almost assuredly have no practice at subtly throwing a game. | ||

It's somewhere on reddit, buried in hundreds of comments. | ||
