the hype is real
in before 0-2 with tom and 3-0 with bengi

Bearded Elder29903 Posts
I think that SKT will run Faker/Bengi from the very first game since they really want to go MSI.

tom might be ok vs ge since lee is trash.
thing with tom is that he's fairly one dimensional with the counterjungling and unless he gets a changeup it'll be easy to prepare for him.

I doubt SKT can 3-0 GE with Bengi/Faker. If they start with T0M I think they lose.

The Tigers didn´t care anymore about the regular season since they got first place, they will try to win and go to the MSI tournament to ``repair´´ their mistake at IEM.

I want GE To win, because it'd be hilarious. Pray joins the holy pantheon with S3 SKT K and dade as two time OGN champions

well bengi has recently climbed to top 20 in soloq and he's developed reksai as a viable pick for him. it'll be hard for ge to win if skt doesn't mysteriously shit the bed in b/p again. (which is to say it's a toss up)
as far as tom is concerned, there is really no reason to bury the guy after 2 games vs a more experienced player. he's got to be better at reading vision though.

Baa?21242 Posts
Well, GET's advantage is that they basically got sit and take notes while SKT struggled vs. CJ and had pleeeeenty of time to develop strats and shit.
|
Cayman Islands24199 Posts
cj was playing better than GE though. it's not like CJ was some scrub team that should have been crushed, they were a very real threat and only really threw one game of that series with some picks like ryze. they had the p/b advantage in at least 3 out of 5 games.
|
I wonder if Bengi used up all his Godmode in the semis to carry them through.
|
SKT T1 have to win this for perfect MSI tournament.
yeah you are right, im going to cheer for Faker this time.

Am I the only one who thinks it's crazy GE is considered the underdogs here? (20% of vote on this poll, 2.5 : 1 odds on betting sites).
They didn't finish as strong, but they still are the same team that crushed Korea these past months. Meanwhile, SKT looked unconvincing against CJ.
I would give the teams 50/50 chances.

I think GE will win, but it's really hard to predict. It's nowhere near close to as one sided as the SKT vote is.
I believe in the game 5 Sion mid Leblanc counter.

Crushed who now? In the second half of the season they lost to KT and SKT and on top of that lost to a huge underdog WE. Meanwhile SKT has gone undefeated. Recent results >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> past results.

Wouldn't say they looked unconvincing considering when they put in their real roster they won 3 - 0.
Edit: Though Bengi pulling a reverse Link was definitely not expected by me.

It's been a while since I managed to catch a finals in full, but this... This is going to be exciting.

Meanwhile, SKT looked unconvincing against CJ.
Both teams played pretty well imo. I have a feeling SKT were running Tom as their jungler and were keeping Bengi as their secret weapon to surprise opponents with a sudden change in game pace. But Tom didn't perform and they had to pull Bengi in, who played pretty great games, while the rest of SKT did their thing and showed us why the threat comes from every lane. I mean sure, SKT could have mowed CJ over in another universe, but CJ played pretty well, Space especially played fantastic, it was just Bang had his best game ever.
Anyway, I'm rooting for SKT 3-1. And I do think Tom will be in the first lineup, because preparing for two junglers is enormous pressure for the opponent. But GE are not going down without a fight, that loss at IEM probably still sits with them, and they are not going to tilt on their home turf. Be interesting to see if Bang can bring his performance vs CJ with him, or maybe Faker will be allowed to play some playmaking champions, instead of Lulu.
Besides, if it goes to game 5, Faker will just pick LB and then we can all go home.

Lol there's no need to pretend Faker's LB is some supernatural unbeatable shit. He's probably the best LB in the world but that doesn't mean just because he picks it the other team will just gg out..He's 12-0 on LB and that's it. Koro1 before LPL final was 18-0 on Gnar, and Clearlove before the tank meta came was at least 10-0 on Lee Sin.
|
Aren't you kind of proving his point though? XD We saw what happened when you give Koro1 Gnar ...
|
Faker single handedly takes over games from start to finish on Leblanc and he is the MVP of just about every game where he has her. It has been permaban status for a long, long time. He's only been able to get it 12 times in his career and that's saying something. Not the same as Koro's gnar.

You know what the difference is? People wouldn't give Faker Leblanc 18 times in a season, or even 10. He got it once when bans were available.

Expecting a good finals that might go all 5 games. Hoping SKT wins and think they can since they have looked better after cinderhulk patch than GE. As long as SKT starts Bengi/Faker every game they should have a good chance at winning.

I wouldn't say single-handedly, SKT playing around the LB pick is usually what lets Faker be so impactful

it's the focus faker's leblanc draws from the other side.

It was a joke man, I know that technically the stat doesn't mean much for upcoming games, but hey, I really enjoy Faker crushing people's dreams when he gets Leblanc. I agree more with this line of thought:
SKT playing around the LB pick is usually what lets Faker be so impactful
SKT isn't some soloQ team, Faker can carry with Leblanc alone, but that doesn't mean SKT doesn't know how to play on their strengths. It's like Faker playing Lulu because they can trust Bang to carry, the team is pretty solid atm.

The ONLY thing stopping SKT from winning this is kkoma. Kkoma's incompetence in both drafting and player management lead them to going 2 games down against CJ and they SHOULD have lost that 4th game by all means.
|
Baa?21242 Posts
If you're gonna blame kkoma for this you also have to credit him for, you know, two OGNs and S3.
|
The same way I give players credit for being the best before they declined/got passed up. Game is so much more complex than S3 camp a brush and clear with oracles to snowball meta
Also it probably wasn't kkoma who was 100% in control of the draft and I think that Faker chose xerath to prove a point that his xerath wasn't bad, but you should still see that trainwreck coming if you're the coach.
|
I think Nofe is SKT's greatest enemy heading into tonight 
Everyone things of GE as just juggermaw, but they have so many more tricks and didn't use it once in the five sets vs. SKT this season.
I'm still convinced there's 50/50 odds.

See, I knew that Tom was going to be in the first game! They keep Bengi as the secret weapon to get GE out of their rhythm. Wasn't sure if Easyhoon would come out, guess it's for the same reason as well.
Easyhoon hype! He's always living in the shadow of God, hope he shows us he's solid number 2.

SKT clearly plan series to save the real lineup for later so their series plans aren't figured out by the final game. something like that. at least to force the opposing team's strategies to play out before they play their full hand.

No Xerath ban, maybe they don't expect Easyhoon to run it, or they don't fear it?

GE got wrecked that fight. Good lawd.
Lee's Nunu did like nothing. Tries to steal the dragon, realizes he's trapped so he flashes over, then watches his team get wrecked before he can come back to zone with ult, then immediately gets knocked out of it by Thresh flay.

Damn, that was a decisive defeat at dragon

Is that really strong enough to warrant the huge power difference between junglers? I'm genuinely curious here. Nunu seems like such a high pick when I feel it's garbage.
|
Wow this game changed pace so quickly, that was a fast baron.
Gorilla useless that dragon fight, came from behind and used ult, then SKT collapsed on his team bc he couldn't catch back up.
|
I really think the lack of competition games is having an impact on GE. I'd of said they were a better team-fighting team than SKT before this game but they are playing very poorly in team-fights.
Perhaps they need a game to shake of a bit of rustiness.

I love SKT's teamcomp for this game. Very balanced imo. They had the potential to take control of the game early on and snowball from there, but they also have a very strong lategame teamfighting and insane damage.
I'm pretty sure GE Tigers need to find a way to break this composition in the pick/ban phase.

No. Azir + Nunu is bleh. Azir is all about zone control because soldiers slow, plus poke from Q+1AA. That he is some sort of super, sustained lategame damage champion has Never been demonstrated in a meaningful professional game (LCK+LPL+LCS playoffs).

He's definitely not B-team player material this game. Bengi more consistent, but Tom makes the plays in the early-mid game, fits very well with SKT's style.
Sej needs to be banned next game, she's so stupidly hard to deal with, her ult is literally a mummy ult you can throw, cleanse CD isn't low enough. And Pray needs to be put on a real ADC and carry his team.

The Nunu/Azir did like nothing all game long, except get Irelia an early garbage kill that probably shouldn't have happened if Marin just flashed earlier.
|
That was a pretty off team comp from GE, full committal to the mid game alongside a low early pressure Azir/supportive Nunu.
|
I think you guys are taking a little too much from Game 1, I mean there have never been reverse sweeps in LoL before :^)

Are we really gonna go to bed without seeing faker play

I think GE's problem was that they just got super hard engaged on by Sivir ult + Sej ult. Ban one of the two, or take one of the two. They had the option of taking Sej or Sivir and instead picked the Urgot.

you know if skt wins without putting faker in i think ge is going to experience some ambition post-dade level ptsd

It's because we know the teams.
In the previous match, after CJ took 2 convincing wins, because we knew the teams there were still people doubting that CJ would win the match. Because CJ just doesn't win playoff matches and SKT is a solid team that doesn't break mentally.
In this case we have an established professional team against a group of newcomers / bench material players and the established team crushes in game 1. Things cannot look good for GE at this point given the team that they are, and the team that they are facing.

We don't play Nunu in EU. It's played in NA way more because it requires no mechanical skill to play, so it's perfect for NA players

so much delay between games >.>

I agree that this was a loss in pick ban. I think the major issue for GE was the Irelia which proved to be useless from start to finish. It's such an off-meta pick, I dont see any clear synergy between her and the rest of the team (even though Monte tried arguing that blood boil Irelia would make sense (fail)). Also, who does Azir help? He can do sort of zone poke peel style, but you dont need peel for this team (just like nunu doesnt help anyone). Why didnt they get Hecarim or Shyvanna in top + sej or grag jungle? Anyway, I hope the rest of the games are better, this was probably one of the lowest quality ogn finals games I have seen.

Cass wasn't fed, she was super farmed because she was allowed to sit in mid lane all da long with almost 0 pressure. Lee came to mid like twice, burned his own flash the first time. GET need to up the pressure this second game, else SKT will just farm and then dictate the pace again.

Yeah that's true, but it just means that GET needs to be more careful in the P/B phase. Can't remember, was Nunu picked into Cass or other way round? Nunu wasn't the big problem that game, SKT was just able to slow down the game and then get the fights they wanted. Casters even pointed out that only 1 tower had fallen by the time SKT got baron, by then SKT had their power spikes and drove the advantage home with the gold lead.
Huh, Corki Alistar lane, something you don't see everyday. Can't remember the last time I've seen Bang on Corki. Thank God Pray is on a real ADC now.

Hating on easyhoon wouldn't make sense since he pretty much dominated every single game he played. He had the highest kda in all of LCK iirc. This series is very disappointing so far though :S

Soooo SKT S OGN champions?
Faker has raised hoon to take his place, now he can pursue the true final objective of LoL. To stream for ridic money on a Chinese stream site.

losing a ban against faker... lol, gg.

I hope keep in Easyhoon, this is SKT S after all (minus H0R0).
It's their title to win.
|
I have figured out SKT Kkoma's plan guys:
Let Eazyhoon 3-0 GET in LCK finals to boost his confidence
so when they play in MSI they put Easyhoon in every game until he finally loses a game then puts in Faker the final boss

LoL seems destined for shit finals. Don't know what's up with that.

Spring final always sucks, Summer final is always good. The redeeming quality of the last two Spring finals was Dade.
|
smeb why
also I think CJs azir + nunu play was much stronger than skt. 10k gold leads are also good though..
|
1) Lee's jungling just makes me sad. I'm almost tempted to watch WE v IG's IET games just for Kakao and Spirit.
2) This Irelia pick is just ??? Hecarim just passed by both times, not to mention other meta picks right now. It's not like Smeb can't play Hecarim...
3) GE's teamfighting isn't bad, but there's no point if you're already behind 10k gold at 20 minutes since you do no damage.
4) Incoming lost ban just to make matters worse.
Going to sleep for real now @_@. Good luck to everyone else still staying up!

So.. If we get Hecarim Shyvanna Maokai or whatever from Smeb I still have faith in GE taking at least one game.. I have been looking forward to this match for so long PLS stop Irelia

Yea I agree that it's a strength but this season was a couple of patches every month at least. Obviously it lowers the overall quality of play but perhaps even worse it ruins the format because a season is so long. Just like SK in europe didn't play like the #1 team :S

I never said get was this godly team or anything but it is unfair getting your main mid pick disabled and your entire champ pool nerfed during the season.They did have a lot of time but seeding is perfectly fine in ogn.I would even go as far as to call it the best system out of all regions.

I agree with the whole "the best team's adapt", but the whole point of a final is to crown who was the best team of the season.
Making a huge change so close to a final does not do that.
If CJ had beaten SKT (which they legitimately could of) and won this final (which is by no means unlikely considering this performance) would they of been the best team this season?

If you want best team of the season look at who finishes top of the table at the end of the season. If you want best team right now (i.e. the best representative to send to MSI) then this is just fine.

Smeb picks irelia, faker picks xerath. Both teams lose finals, CJ sent to MSI.

on the other hand, najin rejects gonna najin.

let's calm down with the faker thing. if faker can improve his decisionmaking somewhat (and he's shown better neutral, opportunistic play in the past) he still has a higher ceiling than eazyhoon with a far wider champ pool etc.

No reason to say "this game should have been over" or "mega throw" or whatever. If you look at the comps its very hard for SKT to win without more than 8k gold lead at 40 min

how many players can skt send to MSI? would suck for one of easyhoon, bengi, piccaboo, bang or tom to be left behind. I imagine SKT will bring everyone since its SKT, but only 1 sub so I'm guessing the line-up will be MaRin, T0M, Ezhoon, Faker, Bang, Wolf. I really think they need to bring bengi/tom ezhoon played great but faker can do similar if not the same. tom might shit the bed again especially against unfamiliar opponents/styles. need bengi to bail them out
tom might shit the bed but winning msi isnt' skt's goals. ofc it would be nice to win, but with how skt has mixed up their line-ups all season i could see them seeing msi as more of a learning/growing exp and give tom the exp he needs going forward to be the fulltime jungler

if they see it as a way of just giving players experience, might as well just send:
marin, tom, easyhoon, bang, piccaboo, faker (for marketing purposes)
if they want to actually win
marin, bengi, faker, bang, wolf, easyhoon.

easyhoon must be so fucking happy right now
*edit* if faker can take it i think it would be better to have bengi/tom

So Riot did the "hey teams are allowed subs at MSI, you go Korea" then "wait only 1 sub allowed" bait and switch.
SKT should leave Faker at home. "You wanted the most hyped player at your MSI? Nah, we can only bring one sub, Bengi it is!"

Riot are ruining a lot of things about LoL.
Western teams will never stand a chance against eastern teams with this Bo1, 18 game split, LCS format.
There isn't even a point having a sub in such a format.

Haha, I really wish that SKT actually does this, but it'll probably be Bengi/Tom with Faker. If Faker wants to play at an international competition, they're going to let him.

Never been an Easyhoon fan, don't particularly like his style of play (or the old SKT S), but I gotta admit, I am happy after being in the shadow for so long, he finally got some recognition.

well it does demonstrate a sort of obliviousness to individual loss and gain, but if faker really thought in those terms he probably won't be on skt right now.

I don't think this should count as Faker winning a third Champions title to be honest.

lol did Ezhoon just airkiss the trophy with no contact?

It counts, he contributed to the regular season as well as the semifinals. I mean, if he and Bengi didn't step in vs CJ, Ezhoon and Tom wouldn't even get their chance to play today.

Well he said in the interview he wasn't happy about not getting to play and he would talk to his coach about it. Obviously he's on stage and can't say everything he wants to say about it, but the whole situation is fucked up and I think SKT/kkoma are being really selfish and inconsiderate to the players about this whole thing.
I think he was ok about easyhoon subbing for him to a certain extent but to the extent of not getting to play at all in the finals? That's really taking things too far.

yes, there'll probably be a transfer fee system.
but the rub is that in order for korean teams to take advantage of this they'll have to give players more secure contracts. they can only extract value from remaining duration of contracts. once contracts expire players are still free agents internationally.
(at least that's what i am assuming they may have some sort of slave labor system contrary to my expectations)

iirc the kespa/ace agreement also involved more inter-league games and promotions. that's a kespa asset and they could have used that to negotiate for more control over the draft system in korea, with implications on restrictions upon player movement.
for LPL they've already got like 100 koreans and there's simply no room to digest them. ACE is a league with top heavy power and restricting korean imports would hurt the lower rung teams more than it does the top ones. edg for example has like 4 korean mids in the entire organization, they are not hurting for new talent. so i could see this deal allowing kespa to keep more young players.

I'm really not. This goes into so much more than even just Faker's own feelings I haven't even touched the tip of the iceberg. Faker literally did not play a game in the finals and didn't even get a chance to earn MVP (both seasonal and finals MVP) which both have money rewards on top of the prestige by the way. Personally I'm astounded people aren't in an uproar about this because if this happened in ANYTHING else it would be highly controversial. Viewership numbers, league attraction... so many things tie into having the star player sit out.

well organizational results take priority, and it's a team game. if eazyhoon lost a game faker would be in there.
faker did look uncomfortable though.
given eazyhoon's champ pool restrictions there's really very little chance that faker becomes disposable for skt. they would still be a better team if they simply played faker all the time and develop better synergy with him though.

That's why we had 200k on only English streams for Korean league, not LCS finals.
It's not like SKT T1, the most historied organisation in Korea doesn't pay salaries to players either, lol.
If Faker has lower ego than casual user of LiquidLegends, I'm pretty sure that he's happy right now and going to rip through MSI. Champion once will be always champion.

Tell people ahead of time faker won't play in a series and those numbers go down hard. SKT S was nowhere near as popular as this SKT team.
Players care about everything - money, fame, status, winning. Certain players put different weightings on each of those aspects. To think faker is the most selfless player ever and only cares about his team winning would be naive. He definitely cares about his own status as being the best individual, and he didn't get to prove it today on a very important stage. There are certain limits to what a player would be okay with and I guarantee that he won't ever let SKT sit him out for an entire finals again.

You don't really know his personality at all, he could have just as easily been happy for his friend.

He constantly talks about how he wants to prove he's the best in the world. Pretty much every top player talks about this in fact. It's just the nature of being in a competitive career where the whole point is to being better than someone else.

And then you have people like Messi for example.

If messi sat out a finals all hell would break loose.

well if skt was run like CJ faker would be playing. it's honestly just the way skt is run. they make putting team before their valuable stars a sort of organizational culture. see bisu for example.

Faker will tryhard at MSI, I guarantee that.

I was going to watch the VODs in full, but no Faker at all during the series?

Recommended games anyone?

Itsmedudeman, stop speculating like you know what's going on in Faker's mind. You don't.
Yes, you're pissed about not seeing Faker play. We get it. Too fucking bad, GET were too shit to bring out Faker, and Ezhoon played great today.
Let's hope Faker is at MSI.

G3 is basically the only one that wasn't a complete stomp but it was for incredibly lomo reasons. Honestly a very skippable series overall.

No golden mouse for the 3 time finals winners?

Do you guys really think that SKT wouldn't have played Faker if he would be unhappy that they didn't? They probably never told him straight up that he might not play a game at all in the finals. No one is happy being on the bench during a finals and DEFINITELY not players who want to go down as the greatest of all time. You're overblowing it so hard. I'm really not. This goes into so much more than even just Faker's own feelings I haven't even touched the tip of the iceberg. Faker literally did not play a game in the finals and didn't even get a chance to earn MVP (both seasonal and finals MVP) which both have money rewards on top of the prestige by the way. Personally I'm astounded people aren't in an uproar about this because if this happened in ANYTHING else it would be highly controversial. Viewership numbers, league attraction... so many things tie into having the star player sit out. That's why we had 200k on only English streams for Korean league, not LCS finals. It's not like SKT T1, the most historied organisation in Korea doesn't pay salaries to players either, lol. If Faker has lower ego than casual user of LiquidLegends, I'm pretty sure that he's happy right now and going to rip through MSI. Champion once will be always champion.

It's like if the Bulls had Michael Jordan riding the bench for an entire series. Sure, the rest of the team might've been able to win without him. But it's fucking insane to have one of the best players in the history of the game riding the bench when he could be playing. I turned the broadcast off at the start of game 2. Now I'm really glad I did.
There is something to be said for putting Faker in a closer or 'relief pitcher'. He'll have none of the mental fatigue the rest of the team has and is the best player. No matter how clever the strategy is, fuck that, I just want to see Faker.

I really want to see Kkoma bring Easyhoon and no Faker to MSI just for the hilarity and the inevitable salt that will follow.

"Can't"? You mean, doesn't need to.

Don't blame skt for not fielding faker, blame ge for not winning a single game.

Smeb got exposed all the way back to his IM roots, his team prioritized picking him a winning lane match up, including getting him first blood in game 1, what a struggler. I guess it's not as flashy but turning Smeb into a useless struggler was deserving of series mvp imo, but mid lane damage so impressive lel.
also if I was Faker I'd be pissed I'm really surprised people don't think so, he looked like it.

Yes, he doesnt need to play because Easyhoon is better.
Lousy Faker fanboys.

It's a shame that GET decided to show their true form on the grand finals. Maybe they should have spent less time developing poses.
Easyhoon finally showing some killer instinct. Wonder if he will keep up the confident aggression in the future or if it was just because kuro was so lackluster. Would be sick to see easyhoon evolve even if it makes skt's roster even more of a circus.

Lol, no one gets the Flash reference in Faker's interview.

Honestly, I feel that people are missing out on a few things.
First, the important thing to remember is that MSI only allows for 1 sub, meaning either Easyhoon or Tom goes with the team, and if I recall correctly, Monte predicted it would be Tom due to two main things.
1. Making other teams plan for two junglers is very weird, considering that the two junglers have very different playstyles, whereas preparing for two mid laners could also be hard, but Easyhoon has a very small champion pool and is actually changing playstyle.
2. Honestly however well Easyhoon does, as he is a very good player, has started to change playstyle. It used to be where Easyhoon was the passive, farm up type of player. Now, we see that he is becoming that aggressive playmaking mid laner. I really love seeing this new Easyhoon, however, now if he isn't a passive mid laner, then he isn't as useful to the team, because they already have an incredible playmaking mid laner with faker.
I believe two things can happen. Either they take Easyhoon to sub with Faker (as remember, the main advantage to the experimentation experiment is that if faker goes on tilt (whether during a series or just during a tournament in general) you have an amazing mid laner to play for him so he can get his thoughts together)). Another option would be to take Tom to play instead of Bengi in certain matches, because although Bengi is very good in the cinderhulk meta, he even said he enjoys Tom's presence as it takes a weight off his shoulder. Bengi focuses more on vision, and all together is a great teamfighter and has great objective control, where Tom has incredible ganks and teamfighting (meaning he has better mechanics, just not vision control and objective control).
The option of taking Picaboo is irrelevant as although he and Wolf are by far two of the best supports in the world, his wrist is injured I believe, so he won't even be an option if I am remembering this right.
So in my opinion, Tom is the best sub to take, however Easyhoon is a very viable option.
SKT's new strategy is actually very nice, seeing it come to light in the CJ vs SKT to this GE vs SKT. You play the subs Easyhoon and Tom, and if they fail (games 1 and 2 of CJ match) then you bring in Faker and Bengi, and they can make up for the mistakes (Bang proved himself to be a carry in game 4, and showed the world that at MSI he needs to be watched or he will rip apart the enemy team). Game 5 was over when game 4 ended, the blind pick setup in Korea basically guranteed SKT the game, as Faker's leblanc and Bang's Kalista couldn't be banned out, basically screwing over CJ (as they are both the best IMO on those champs). In the GE match we saw the same strategy come out, but they didn't even need to bring in Bengi or Faker, which Bengi was quite happy about because it means they stomped GE, but Faker not so much. Faker seems to be a prideful person, but not too much. He hates losing lane, and very obviously wasn't happy when Pawn solo-killed him a bunch of times. He was happy that they won, but not happy that he didn't get a last chance to prove himself before MSI.
The odds that they don't take Faker and instead take Easyhoon are incredibly low. Faker is overall a better mid laner and has more presence in the international stage then Easyhoon (everyone except Pawn and maybe Westdoor will be at the very least concerned if he is playing). Easyhoon is a good mid laner, don't get me wrong, but Faker would be the better choice by far. Where Easyhoon has proven he can do incredibly well, he also proved he can fail in the CJ Entus series. Faker has proved he can fail, but has never done so internationally. Internationally he won worlds, and even though SKT was in 7th place or so in OGN, dominated All-Stars. Now this fact made it obvious that a top korean team will dominate Worlds 2014 (being SSW). Tom has also proven he can fail and do well, but Bengi seems to act as though Tom is his partner in the scenario. One lifts the stress from the other when needed.
Either SKT or EDG win MSI. That much is for sure. SKT has proven they have incredible players and great teamwork, even great comebacks. Where EDG has proven to have unrivaled team fight capability. EDG's main flaw is that they almost always lose laning phase and come back through good teamfights. SKT's flaw being that sometimes they over commit on certain fights, making them lose some of their lead often. TSM probably won't do well, as Bjergsen isn't going to be able to go carry-mode when he faces the best mid laners in the world (he can't easily beat Pawn, Faker, Westdoor, or Febiven, but probably Energy). And Lustboy won't be able to make great plays when other teams are more attentive to the champs he plays, even if he is good on them (The kennen support pick destroyed NA, whereas its a common thing in Korea and LPL). Wildturtle usually depends on that late game carry, and the great teamfighting from these top teams prevent him from doing that. Santorin will do good I believe, just not good enough to carry. Dyrus will feed, and looking at this tourney its scary for him. Almost every top laner going is a carry-style top laner, Huni, Marin, and Koro1 being the ones to name. They look to destroy lane, and Dyrus hasn't done too well in laning in the past. Fnatic may do well, but I doubt it. In whole the team has been shown to fail when needed, and not close out games when they can.
Sorry for the incredibly long post, just some of my opinions.

That's really well thought and I agree with most points (though I can't even imagine Faker tilting simply because of the way he presents his mentality as a player). Really should be cross posted in MSI because it's a great read.

The chance he goes on tilt is tiny. He has done it once obviously, SSW vs SKT. Faker got solo-killed once, and he tried stupidly to 1v1 Pawn 4 more times, giving him 3 more solo kills. The chance he goes on tilt is tiny, but just in the case he does thats the main reason Easyhoon was taken in. Since then his role in the organization has expanded, and now he is basically a first barrier to all mid laners. Beat Easyhoon, and you go against Faker. Thats where most mid laner will start feeding, exception being pawn.

God's son: Dad, you were the best player in LoL history! SKT was lucky to have you. But what happened in Spring 2015? I didn't see your name in any of the games.
God: Well son, before the season started all the good players had left for China, while I stayed in Korea for a specific reason. So we were left facing off against a shitter named kurO. He was so bad, we let your god father Easyhoon run ignite against him and he won all three games.
God's son: Couldn't they have let you play in the last game?
God: I was letting Easyhoon take the spotlight for once. And son, that's how I met your mother, Cho Eunjung.
