Probably man, but I'm sure there are just as many tsm fans that think they can go head to head with the top of ogn teams even with their 0-17 record or sth. Both camps probably only watch LCS and no ogn games.
Even the most deluded TSM fans have to face the 0-15 record. There has been a resurgence of TSM > SKT sentiment since they have a new roster though, but it's small compared to the number of people who think FNC is a top team.
The main cause/problem is that FNC doesn't have an extensive head-to-head record against top Korean teams. Until they got 3-0'ed by KTB at IEM people could defend their claims by saying we don't have any concrete results (conveniently, of course, ignoring the 3-1 by RYL).

I think it's possible, but by saying that you're also admitting (correctly) that FNC has to rely on luck in being matched vs. bad teams to advance to the Ro8, meaning that they're a tier below the other Ro8 teams, and are not a top 8 Korean team.

At best they'd be number 8 but I haven't been watching as much masters as I should so idk
Edit: Nvm lol. After evaluating I think number 11 at best

10-11 as best, in good day even JinAir and IM squads are better, not speaking about SKT, KT, Najin, CJ and Samsung.

KTA, KTB, SKT S, SKT K, SGO, SGB, NJBS, NJWS, CJB, CJF are all better. There's really no need to justify this, just take KTB 3-0 as the basis here.
IM #1 and Jin Air Stealth are comparable (assuming Stealth doesn't choke, which to be fair, is a large part of their shit performance and needs to be accounted for).
FNC is better than Falcons and IM #2.
Then you have OMG and EDG whom I'd take comfortably above FNC.
LGD with international experience, iG on a good day, and WE when they learn how to play are comparable/better than FNC. iG split 1-1 with FNC in IEM so we'll take that as the basis here.
Assuming FNC > C9 and C9 = TSM, the top LCS team ranks somewhere in the ~12 - 16th range internationally.

you must have missed the LR thread a couple of weeks ago when someone (i think wei2coolman?) was arguing that TSM could definitely get out of groups at OGN lol

And it's even hard to rate the 2nd tier korean teams, since most of the games we see them play they go against absolute monsters like the CJ, SKT, KT etc. Who knows how good they'd be on the western scene?

Oh no I saw that and I'm pretty sure I called him retarded. That used to happen a lot more than it does not so maybe my perception is skewed by that? Regardless if you look at something like Reddit you'll see that the unironic FNC > OGN fans number much greater than the unironic TSM > OGN fans.

Thank God that we have him in LR threads.

Man I thought it was over lol. People will call it a throw again, but that was actually very wp by Froggen and Wickd to delay that one.

Did it switch to NALCS halfway through this game?
I don't understand how I start watching and first thing I see of LCS this week is a baron throw LOL

That's wei2coolman we're talking about. When you have 20k posts there's a good chance most of them are not very thoughtful.

If LMQ goes with 20+ wins in NA LCS, i will literally laugh.
And that's 2nd tier CHINESE team, not even Korean.
Even though, Quantic failed but shit happens.
