Lol, I'm loving this banter.

Very well played by SKT though.


They lost at decision making, not just at a lost buff. They swapped Deft into lane vs. a Kalista and got destroyed. They tried to shut down Marin's Rumble and failed and further what's the value of that even? It's not though Rumble needs to do well in lane to have a huge impact. They were in that situation because they didn't pick/ban correctly and that's just a matter of coaching. Then you have Pawn having no impact throughout the game and getting out-laned by Easyhoon and it became a stomp.

Faker goes ham more often than not though. Like, you can depend on him to try to bully, try to secure kills, etc. and plan for it. But Faker usually makes up for his mistakes later on in the same game.

faker plays league like IWBTG

I'm glad the desk is here to analyse how SKT react to Riot's terrible decision making of only allowing one sub.

thye wanted to avoid the 2v2 but couldn't. it's not like they wanted that lane.

the basic idea behind edg's draft was trusting in their perceived team strength, gnar+sejuani carried them in some games vs lgd and deft is their hard carry so he plays what he wants.

Yeah, Trist got so behind (is she even good when even?), and Vlad got his hextech without any trouble and had no problems for the rest of the game.

They won't and wouldn't lose with any of them. Even with T0M.

Didn't Deft play like shit last Worlds too?


Only if you remember that one Koggles game against Fnatic when they got trashed.
Deft was very decent.


He lost lane a few times vs C9 didn't he? (or am I thinking of another adc)


Deft and Heart could win lanes only in dreams, lol.
Nothing new.

Bang is best Kalista I've seen, it's just impressive to watch.

Imp is still the best.


Hard for you to say that. He just destroyed deft and he is still undefeated on that champion. It's also banned away from him majority of the time.

SKT won't lose a game. Bang won't get kalista again. MaRin destroying on rumble.

Honestly speaking, either would be more than enough in lane. I'd take Faker though, to snowball TSM early

They didn't swap Deft into a lane vs Kalista. Both duo-lanes were top at first, and then EDG tried to swap Trist bot and shut down rumble, but SKT mirrored. Then, once Deft got wrecked (like down 30, 40 CS), they swapped him into top lane again to make those turret trades.

Shutting down Rumble can be great, especially if you have Koro who can split push on a Gnar that's ahead without much of an answer.

Pawn just had no presence because Easyhoon is a god. :p

Basically SKT out-rotated them all game except in the first 2-3 minutes.

Which shows a deficiency in decision making and in-game shot calling.

That's not fixable with importing players esp. when they aren't even above what you end up facing.
