I just noticed dade took Ghost+Flash on Ziggs, looks weird. Does he usually do that?

no, thinking that you're an expert and so smart that you would easily catch out people who play and coach this game for a living and are trying to fool you is a faulty mindset.

if i remember correctly, SKT S was an ~80% betting favorite to win each individual set (and would have been an even bigger favorite were it not for mild matchfixing concerns) and they had a plausible reason to throw both matches. if you don't think them losing 0-2 is at least somewhat suspicious then you've got some serious blinders on.

just to illustrate the math of the situation, the probability of an event with a 20% chance of occurring happening twice in two tries is 4%.

I don't get the Genja comment. He has a pickeaxe and longsword, indicating he's going last whisper, so it's nothing like a Genja build.

Reading through these posts, it disgusts me to see TL reduced to the quality of posts I've seen so far. Optimus Prime played OUT OF THEIR MINDS. Their first game strategy was SICK. The 3v1 dive for push has been very common, but the 4v1 to push into inhibitor tower simply put SKT S in a very uncomfortable position. Not to mention, the rotations were very well done and they didn't go for a strategy that called for ending the game ASAP.

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.
