I recall Chauster in one of his AMA's confidently predicting that Korea would never be able to surpass NA in LoL due to the size of the headstart they had. He obviously never followed Starcraft.

I think that is very misleading. You become 6th-8th placed team simply by losing like 2 BoXs. That can be caused by simply having 2 bad days.

The ogn tournaments are simply not designed to determine the best team overall (no elimination system is), but rather to be a good spectator event.

A few bo3s? SKT BARELY clawed their way through group stages and they were very fortunate S lost 2 games in a row to an amateur level team. SKT got a lot more chances than they deserved. Not only that but they lost to Frost 3-1 in NLB. It's one thing to get knocked out of OGN, but in NLB before finals? You can deny the facts all you want, the truth is SKT is not a top 6 team by any measure.


I dont think skt give a fuck about nlb just ktb, only najin black sword seems like give a fuck about nlb cause they need circuit points and also they play in jin air gaming house vs frost. They perfom better in masters

Nah flawless logic : you lose a couple of matches -> you immediately become trash tier

All that glitters is not gold, all that wander are not lost, the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by frost.

To the people claiming SKT 'is not even a top 6 team anymore by any measure', I'd love to see your list of 6 teams that are 'clearly better' than SKT, lol

Yes? It basically played out exactly like all the people,who knew OMG was sandbagging, were saying it was going to play out.

Do you watch OGN? Perhaps not a top 6 team is exaggerating, but...people who actually watch OGN know that the teams that are there right now (Samsung's two teams for instance) are really fucking good and could very well arguably be the easily better teams.

Well. No one is calling skt trash. But they're only 6-8th rank in korea right now. Just like kt b stomped through iem. While being mediocre as well.

when you go thru 3 straight championships including winter not dropping a single map, to call a team in a slump for getting 3rd place(at best) in the B tournament isn't really that harsh

Holy shit the french facebook pages about LoL (probably the 2 biggest french ones, 37k and 14.5k) are giving me cancer, people are absurdly retarded there.

The Tortoise and the Hare isn't a good analogy for this
NA and EU had a headstart because they actually started playing sooner

it's like a Tortoise who has a 1 year headstart and the Duracell bunny

Ok, SKT K first lose to S seems k throwing for their sister teams to me, They subbed Poohmandu vs kta and thought easy win and they got stomped, then they fight ozone top 1-2 korean team and got destroyed and then playing nlb when they probaly doesnt give a fuck. I mean this little ciruit points doesnt matter. They won vs shield 2 times one time with OPEN INHIBITOR. Their match against blue in masters is really good considering how blue has better late game and mundo with spirit visage+5-7 heals and late game kog.

SKT K have fallen off, they're definitely behind the samsungs and najin shield. But I don't think they're that far behind the KTs and CJs though so I think 5-8th is a reasonable projection of their current form. Maybe they'll return next season encouraged by this and stomp next OGN idk.

That story always confused me. People always say the moral is "slow and steady wins the race," but really it's more about the hare's hubris than the turtle's pace.
