EPTThink a lot of what is happening has to do with Kkoma and SKT being in unfamiliar territory, namely bottom quarter of the LCK. The pressure and expectations just weigh down the players, who feel like every mistake is a catastrophe, it's a downward spiral. Especially for Faker, going from the best player in the world to losing every game has got to really mess with your ego. Losing Worlds and crying was when it became blatantly obvious the guy isn't untiltable.

So that means they have 3 series before they can sign up someone new. Kongdoo, BBQ, and KSV. Assuming KSV was going to beat them anyway regardless of form Kongdoo and BBQ should be beatable by even this roster. I guess it doesn't make sense to bring in Blossom, unless he is the long term SKT solution. Running Untara/Blank/Faker/Bang/Wolf should be enough to beat at least one of the Monsters and the Olivers. Then they get to righting the ship with....Bengi? Throw enough money at Marin? | ||

So instead of the mid game leading to end game that they can close out. It becomes this stalled game which turns into a shitfest nexus defence. | ||

Faker really dishing out the pain with Kass this game, wonder if he can actually carry. Blossom and Thal continue to not impress. | ||

Peanut just doesn't work on SKT. He's a bad fit. He clearly performed better than these rookies so far, and Blank has never developed to become a proper main roster pick. Right now it's a question of talent, SKT is trying to to find people to fill the holes in their team, but the chances of picking up someone like Khan is basically zero. It looks like SKT might have to spend some big money and poach from other teams. | ||

They spend the entire time talking about how ROX is in control of the game while they're 1/11 in kills just because their team comp which literally is only good at taking neutral objectives took neutral objectives. Apparently it doesn't matter that Jin Air stopped them doing anything with it and were stomping every fight, ROX deserved to win because they rushed baron as TK/Kalista/Chogath and Jin Air stole away the game. | ||
