NA hasn't really caught on the Kog yet.
IMO na teams still don't know how to play that well against twitch, so twitch seems to be the stronger pick than Kog.

Snoopeh isn't a real problem, he was utility forever. If Pobelter and Altec one-two punch shows up, they roll, if no - gg.

Snoopeh is a pretty huge problem . He very rarely creates map pressure for the rest of his team to take advantage of. When a team can choose to ignore the jungler like that, it's such a big problem
The more and more I watch teams play, this is not an individual problem, but a lack of early game strategy.
I have no idea why you say this. It is VERY much an individual problem. C9 can choose to ignore a whole role on the EG team, and not have any negative consequence. No jungler should be ignored. Even with the current trend of junglers being a secondary support/ward role, he should still be creating vision/space.
I'm just of the opinion, at the top level. That early jungle pressure and map pressure is something that has to be preplanned. You have to know how certain early game lane setup and scenarios already play out. The lack of map pressure from snoopeh is a symptom of the entire team not knowing exactly how early game is played out. Lanes have to push out at certain times for Junglers to execute what they want to do, to offer this map pressure.
It's like what I said about Amazing. I think he's mechanically gifted, and he looked good in CW beceause no on in EU knew how to play early game. All of a sudden, he's in NA, where the top 3-4 team know how to play teh early game strategy really well, and TSM is still doing their retarded "hurr strong lanes, 40 min lane phase, win game". Guess what the fuck happens to amazing? BOOM. the fucker get rekt. Not cuz he's lacking mechanical skill, but because the entire team has no fuckign idea what to do in the early game. Like forcing the 2v0 lane with a Corki, when they could have just as easily gotten Kog and done the same thing, and had much stronger presence in game than Corki.
Really hyped for Zion on Kayle, he has the potential to carry so hard although she's different from his usual picks. But then the cancer Nidalee and Dignitas has no real ranged waveclear and more importantly 0 hard engage to crush Nidalee and break sieges. D:
Slightly dislike Nidalee here, but it has nice shinergy. So, let's go, dis gon be gud.

After runaan's build was introduced by PDD and Koreans, she's just rolling faces everywhere.

In all honesty, I don't feel scarra is the force behind their current play. Sure, it's nice for the team not to have to worry about pick/bans because they now have dedicated staff who will research it for them. I think Scarra's knowledge in no way trumps shiptur or zion's knowledge. Shiptur and Zion were both huge forces on Coast, and I think they carried over really really well. Both of these guys are far better than their dignitas counterparts. What scarra does instead is take certain pressure(most likely taking things like pick/bans, level 1s, scouting, etc) away from the team, so they can focus on what they need to do.

New AS heavy build of nashor's > runaans > deathcap with zerkers. Do not question, glorious Korean build the dps is real, the late game is real overall scary shit.
