If Shield plays like tonight, Blaze will just 3-0.
But gatekeeper bless might override bless of Spring for Blaze.

Blaze is the worst of the "top" teams ~_~

Shield beat Bullets, they aren't losing to anybody this tournament.

Gogo BW crew, you're my only hope.

Shield vs Blaze should be a really interesting series and a nice throwback to the old Korean League scene. Blaze are an awesome team but I'm baffled by the assumption that Blaze's victory against Shield is almost guaranteed. I imagine Shield would rather deal with Blaze (who they have a 2:1 record against this season) than either of Blue/Ozone.

I don't know how to feel about KTB. In every game/sport there are always those teams that have the uncanny ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, and KTB are one of those teams. On the one hand I feel really sorry for them... but at the same time, I can't help but feel it's kind of pathetic that they consistently throw big games like this.

Was it really a throw or Shield playing their comps correctly and showcasing riddicolous ability to play from behind?
Americans don't like to use unblockables, it is considered not honest. You press a button at the wrong time and hit the other person, you are random, not a top player. You DP Sim's far fierce, it is random and not honest.

That's the eternal question; if you have a (seemingly) insurmountable gold lead and then lose, did you throw or did the other team outplay you?

And the answer is the same every time - it's both, in varying proportions ~_~

I place Shield as the heavy favorites but apparently I'm the minority on this one zz.

If anything, I'm with you on this one. At worst they're getting second.

I think most people (fans and experts alike) will rate Blaze as favorites based on their experience and championship pedigree. Shield has yet to fully shed their identity as a weaker team, but that could work out in their favor. Spring is the season of underdogs, and the underdog of the season is NaJin White Shield.

I definitely agree with your assessment. Save has shown that he can go head to head with Flame, solo-killing him in lane. I feel Grape is definitely better than Ambition. I don't think Blaze's botlane is as good as we initially believed and might even give a slight advantage to Shield's. The only position that Blaze has a clear advantage is jungle and Daydream. Daydream IMO will have to have the series of his life securing/stealing dragons+barons for Blaze to win.

Well, I think these games might go super-late and I expect Shield to do better in that scenario.

Watch played pretty well this series and I think he's at worst equal with Daydream.

Also Watch is just too moemoe~

Grape > Ambition for sure, RIP National Mid Player
Save < Flame, but barely, and Save can definitely pull something out over the course of a series. I'll give Flame the edge just cause it's Flame and the team does prioritize him a lot as well.
Bot lane is a wash, neither bot impresses me a lot but neither are outright awful.
Watch > Daydream is my opinion :o

When KTB lost to SKT in that bo5, did they also win the first two games only to lose the next 3 in a row?

yep!

KTB pretty much stomped SKT in the first two games. everyone was calling for a quick 3-0. Then SKT turned around in game 3 and crushed the bullets so hard, they surrendered at 20.

It was beautiful :')

like way back in Champion's Summer of 2013 I think it was KTB vs SKT in the finals, and Ryu played gragas twice before SKT just banned it for the last 3 games
