Most of the time the teams just stand around awkwardly and then get shoo'ed off stage. =/ The interview thing they did at NAl LCS finals was better imo. Also when Asians do all this hype, ceremony, trophies kissing stuff etc it is considered cute. When westerners do it it is perceived as ridiculous and awkward. | ||

They beat both SK and Cloud9 at IEM, only team they lost was Chinese. im pretty sure they are going to do well at Worlds, especially against Western teams. I know you are new to LoL scene but stop spilling bullshit. | ||

Is it WE > KOO and TSM > WE, so TSM better than KOO? hopefully not... They are going to eat Western teams for snacks at Worlds. | ||

Is it WE > KOO and TSM > WE, so TSM better than KOO? hopefully not... They are going to eat Western teams for snacks at Worlds. It was basically Spirit in his most powerful form. That same WE took games off (Pawnless) EDG because Spirit was able to dominate the jungle. The real outlier of the tournament was how Santorin somehow looked competent. I still don't like Koos chances against the high quality Chinese teams that will likely be at Worlds though. They don't have the skill level to make it to mid-lategame in 3/5 matches against LGD or EDG or Snake. QG and iG would probably be interesting matchups for Koo. Also I wish someone would start biting trophies, Nadal style. | ||

Or in other words, compared to what team does skt look bad, over the course of the summer split? (I assume your opinion on skt is based on more than just this series)Kinda scared for Korea at worlds tbh, if SKT is the best they have to offer. It's basically Faker in solo queue mode while botlane is trolling/feeding. Marin helps from time to time but he can also enter full retard mode. I don't watch China but if they have a couple of decent level teams they should dismantle Korea this year. | ||

The top 3 korean teams are still better than any western team/gpl team IMO. If you don't watch china, how could you think they'd dismantle korea? | ||

Or in other words, compared to what team does skt look bad, over the course of the summer split? (I assume your opinion on skt is based on more than just this series) SKT looked bad against EDG at MSI and to me they still play exactly the same way (except that Faker is back to the very top), which means that they should still lose assuming that the chinese teams didn't magically get worse. The trolling botlane lost SKT the series against EDG and Wolf and Bang did not improve at all so I don't see any reason why SKT would win against a top chinese team this time around. Basically people say SKT has improved because they are dominating Korea but I don't agree with that point of view ; it's pretty much the exact same team and they can lose in the exact same fashion. SKT dominated Korea because Korea sucks. I mean, it's still better than NA/EU, but compared to last year's Korea, the level has droppped significantly, while the Korean exodus is making China a lot stronger. | ||

Faker can play Azir now and Bengi playing Elise. I think Piglet and Mandu was more of a troll in 2013 than Bang and Wolf this year. Or if Bengi gets the Clearlove treatment and SKT proceeds to lose in grand fashion. Doubt it'll happen, Faker is still Faker. | ||

SKT are eager to win Worlds so I would not count them out easily. The patches will change anyways but even though the top 3 korean line-up is less impressive than the chinese one, it will probably not be a dismantle. | ||

The much-maligned Marin and Bengi both played excellently in the finals. The bot lane isn't going to beat Deft/Meiko or Imp/Pyl, but it can do well enough for SKT to win. They're nowhere near the prohibitive favorites that S3 SKT or S4 SSW/SSB were, and it doesnt surprise me that some people rank LGD or EDG above them. But writing them off seems a bit much I wouldn't be super surprised if Bang/Wolf managed to carry out of bot lane at least once vs EDG. It all depends on how Deft plays, if he gets himself back together it would be tough, if he plays like their playoff games it would hurt EDG. Also Imp is often solo in a lane, so talking about 2vs2 is just touching half of the early laning phase. I so badly want to see Faker vs GODV/doinb. | ||
