FWIW I've always felt the average skill of the top 3-4 teams of SEA is stronger than the average skill of the the top 3-4 teams in NA and EU LCS. They're also more creative with picks and unorthodox movements.

They have a tendency to do very risky manuevers for relatively little gain, but when they're ahead, they are very good at aggressively forcing the advantage. Their individual skill level is also very high.

Then you are crazy.


I mean you've already proven yourself to be totally incapable of seeing beyond the results of the most recent game + LCS fanboyism, so I don't know why you're even posting, literally no one on this forum takes your opinions seriously.

That's because there are only a few times where I've ever been serious. I'm an LCS fanboy? 80% of the games I watch are OGN. You have nothing to back up your claim besides the game that was just played and I'm the one who only sees recent results? You've gotta be fucking kidding me. The few times SEA has entered international tournaments over the last year it's been one sided stompings. At least NA and EU have gotten respectable international results over the past year.

Your defense for SEA is that the good teams ended up choking against a terrible team.

I doubt people who chant USA against any foreign team is capable of thinking any differently. The mental gymnatics NA fans try to justify TSM, C9 on a 'good' day will take a game off SKT are impressive.

But they take yours? lol.

You say that the top 3-4 teams of SEA are better than EU or NA and yet you most likely don't even know the NAMES of the players let alone actually watching them.

It's just the usual hipster glory hunting of "look at me, i told you guys this underdog region was totally strong, i knew it, look at me please"

You're failing to make the distinction between Taiwan and the rest of SEA. The only reason Mineski were at Worlds for example is because because they don't allow 2 Taiwanese teams to go

Bit harsh but its my gripe with Froggen being there as an analyst. The guy just isn't articulate enough for the job.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

I think you might find that one analyzing something the two are fairly closely tied together


Not always the case, you could compare the best chess player atm at bullet ICC who is a prodigy at tactics and puzzles at 17 years old but lacks the strategy -yet- to be considered a strong GM at normal time chess to a veteran who is slow in calculating but has experience in every possible position.

IG displayed amazing tactical skill and mechanics in battle but immaturity in decision making. A typical eu team is more or less the opposite.

Its important to note that the first is much more important because the start of the game doesnt involve much decision making, thus if you get crushed in lanes you will be unable to use your strategical sense.[/
QUOTE]

DONT TRY SO HARD TO BE A SMARTASS, YOU CANT CLOSE A GAME THAT YOU DID NOT OPEN



I saw a lot of great amazing EU wisdom and decision making during that hour and a half Mill/Fnatic game earlier. Never have I seen such masters of Summoners Rift so deftly jab, weave and feint in an elegant waltz towards the end.


Mill is the dead last team actually sux in decision making (ara in particular is well known retard and i hope you remember how kev1n threw the SK spot last summer). Fnatic (even though they are on a huge slump and cant coordinate at all -being 2-10 at the last 12 games says a lot-) actually played pretty smart under the circumstances.

That being said, i was never a fan of playing sissy style and i was constantly bashing the passive-do-nothing style that lemondogs started.

Also, i dont think that what we see is or can be indicative of a region's strength. 2 reasons for this:
1. Nerves on first game (i know from personal experience how hard you can choke on high stakes)
However i didnt expect gambit to play so sh1t cuz they seemed immune to this in the past.
2. BO1 format doesnt offer much room for a team to get their sh1t together and comeback.

To sum up all eu teams got crushed so hard in lane phase, that any talk about strategy and wisdom is ridiculous.

In IG vs KTB however it was obvious to everyone that even though they were crushing in fights they went full NA baron throw twice. It was actually very amusing to see that they were fighting so good that 1 baron throw wasnt enough so they went baron again to seal the deal.
Such strategy, much amazed.

actually, come to think of it, it was more arrogance than lack of strategy.

they really got shafted by the volatile qualifiers and having only one tw spot, and then a bo3 against skt who not many people knew to be godlike.

Somehow I'm hyped to see c9 finally playing another international game. The short worlds games weren't that satisfying. and they are actually a good team.
