Because coming back from 6000 gold twice in a row is very impressive. Why be such a buzzkill? What do you get out of it

Of course there is. Fnatic was rather lucky OG went for a 3v5 engage amd threw the game. Not sure why people are praising them so much right after the game where they showed the most weakness so far.

fnatic is easily the best team LCS ever had.

And it only took them two Korean imports to do it. Amazing what sort of difference that made over the last two splits. Of course, getting a competent ADC also helps.

Still, the fact that Korean imports are able to fly to the five major regions and subsequently take the top slot of every region except LMS, speaks to what is effectively a talent gap. After all, just a year ago people were saying that Korean imports would never work in LoL because of the language requirements. Yet, it looks as though that wasn't as big of a deal as the raw skill difference these imports brought. Such a result has to make people think hard about why NA, EU, and China, with a combined player population that has to be 10+ times the size of Korea, hasn't been able to match up in talent. Infrastructure arguments just don't cut it now, except insofar as they deal with talent scouting/development.

I wonder when TSM is going to spend their next import slot. Soon, I think.
