They farmed really well, destroyed lane, but played very aggressive and took/forced fights, even if they were disadvantageous. If they won one or two fights in a row, they snowballed really hard but if they didn't they farmed back, took fights and either strung together a couple won fights and snowballed, or just rinsed repeat, fell behind and lost. Against mass pink wards by SKT they were pretty screwed. It was kind of like watching MKP play. Great micro and macro, but he'd run into perfectly placed psi storms and colossi and try to bludgeon his opponent to death. Spoiler alert: it didn't work. | ||

WE only match easy opponents earlier I think WE is good : < I think that LGD series was Ruo throwing very hard and doing very stupid things, and I think WE is better than LGD overall. However, on a WE off da and LGD good day, sure, WE can fall out of top 3, but it's not some clear distinction. I think it's better to think of LPL as top 4 vs bottom 4 instead of top 3 vs bottom 5 in terms of where the skill gap occurs. | ||

Never before has every single team in EU looked so bad and even in NA the top team(s) don't look as good as last season. Is it just the period of the year or something more? Well, the state of C9 is pretty much like how SKTK will turn out. You can be the best team in a region, but you shouldn't be able to just walk over it for an extended period of time. TSM and CLG have only gotten better. XDG were royally fucked by management and are now in damage control mode. | ||

WE from what i've seen are way better than ig macro wise but not stronger in lane. at least when zzitai isnt drunk Conan is weak and Ruo is atrocious, but Sukim is very strong and Caomei is still fine. Wx is Wx. Underperforms sometimes but very consistent overall. Lower highs than he used to have though. | ||

On another note, I love how you can play two Asian vs Eu games and have time to spare in the time it took Mill vs Fnatic. | ||

Honestly, I think the individual skill of LGD is very high, and according to Gogoing, WE.A can also be considered one of the best team in China. There is an anecdote that WE.A mid Xiye refuse to join WE since he think WE.A is way better | ||

Never have I seen such masters of Summoners Rift so deftly jab, weave and feint in an elegant waltz towards the end. | ||
