It's a shame most comments are 'Alliance goofs' as opposed to noting how well Kabum played that game. Every lane won early, they grouped fluidly for that first dragon and then aside from two noticeable flubs* their mid-game progression looked extremely good. Wards went from middle of the river to the far side of the river to the opposing jungle. Each second tower was grouped after vision and minion control was established and taken without ever letting Alliance trade back for a tower of their own. The gold lead smoothly grew 4 to 6 to 8k. Sure, after all towers were down and a 10k gold lead was established they had noticeable mistakes (positioning and strategical) in cracking the base and/or closing the game, but prior to that they never once looked lost. And one of the most common critiques current teams get is "all the first turrets are down and they don't know to get the second set."
*Both mistakes were primary the fault of Elise. The bad tower dive top and then in the bottom lane after the tower went down the entire team started retreating and then got baited back by Elise going in. But as someone previously noted, this guy loves going ham and also made some good plays like the insta-dive on Twitch on the last inhib tower that lead to the game ending.

Because if a team gets to go to worlds it is expected of them to be competent.The way alliance played they would lose to most teams even in lcs.It was just a pathetic showing from them.
