Everything you said applies only to the EU scene. Watch him in the games in Worlds. He is no where near as outstanding. But the difference isn't game losing though. The difference between an internationally mediocre support to korean superstar support isn't big enough to win/lose game. Like, unless you're saying korean support makes the difference in botlane getting completely obliterated in lane, and snowballs with playmaking all game long, it really isn't that significant. fnatic's botlane issues stem from rekkles inability to perform in this group stage. | ||

TSM? I mean they are the best example of what a higher level support can do for a team. They went from struggling in NA to becoming first to getting the quarter-finals of worlds. A large part of that is due to the play making ability of Lustboy, and his control of vision/map | ||

Now compare lustboy to xpecial. How much change is there really? | ||

Too bad both American dreams are gonna get stomped by both Samsung teams in the first round of the bracket LOL. And then right into the team kill. Better semi-finals than actual finals? Worlds is shaping up to be more like OGN after all. OGN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP LITE 2014 | ||

Lustboy also is a washed-up Korean pro and not on the level of current top Korean supports either. I don't think it's far-fetched to say the gap between Lustboy and Gleeb isn't that different from the gap between Mata and Western supports at this tournament. | ||

Mata is an S-class support for sure but Yellowstar/Lemonnation are good supports that are deserving to be at the top of their region. Meanwhile Gleeb is barely LCS quality. I'm not even sure I'd take him over Kiwikid and that's saying alot. Noone is even close to Mata outside of Heart in this world. Madlife might be good again if he is going to be free'd from Space's prison, his vision control is top notch, not speaking about mechanics, Hachani and Gorilla in good day are close. But only support who was relatively close to Mata is Pooh on his peak. And Gleeb, meh, I guess, he just has that Nien syndrome to be legit in okayish teams but struggle in top-dogs. | ||

If you took a transcript of what he says during a game, you'd be completely confused as to what he's talking about. Sometimes he's completely wrong with what he says too. Most of the time it's just empty gibberish. Again, I think he's a good guy, I don't doubt his commitment, and I don't wish him any ill. That being said, I do want more talented casters to rise up and eventually replace him. Pretty much this. His sentence structure is god awful when he casts sometimes. | ||

I was super impressed with Zero when I was watching SHRC play. Especially considering he lanes with UZI without any communication, that's fucking insanity wolf status right there. As good as Imp+Mata lane imo.

Here are some that I think have a chance of showing up if bans are heavily focused in a lane. Amumu, Annie, Fiddlesticks, Gragas, Jax, Karthus, Malphite, Nocturne, Poppy (I WANT TO BELIEVE), Renekton, Shyvana, Singed, Shen, Zyra | ||
