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. | ||

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" | ||

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. | ||
