Honestly it doesn't seem too bad of a swap, SKT has way bigger problems right now.

They have an easier schedule now so hopefully, they can grow in the next couple of weeks. SKT just makes stupid mistakes that are rather uncharacteristic of them. I think it's a problem with self-belief more than anything.

Oh god. That gank on botlane was so smart, first force out GP ult and then hit the dive before Taric hits 6.

All professional Riven games make me wish teams were allowed to sub during champ select, just so we could see a OTP popping off.

I think pro's play champions better than OTPs do anyway.

Pros would be better at playing it in context of the whole game but they aren't as good at OTP at laning and abusing that phase of the game. OTP basically live or die based on how badly they can abuse in that first phase of the game. At least for the most part.

I think some OTP can play their champion better than most pros, but some pros are wild good. Viper (that's the NA guy, right?) doesn't play Riven much better than Khan or Faker, if at all. There are quite a few LCK players who can rofl-stomp with Jayce too if he fit more into the meta.

Also with tanks and other low mechanical champs, most pros can probably play them very well in lane, besides the fact that being a OTP Maokai sounds like self inflicted pain. When you start talking about actual game knowledge, you're not really talking about OTP skills anymore.

One trick ponies might know some obscure matchups better, but for the most part they don't play against top laners of that level in solo queue. Nor is solo queue laning even close to how pro laning goes. In solo queue, people will die for a canon almost every time (just an over the top example to make my point). In pro, for the most part players are both willing and knowledgeable on when giving up CS is better than dying.

They decided to not hire any good new players and instead role swap their current roster around trying to make players into things they aren't.

The theory from Thorin's Korean talk show: SKT didn't want to deal with Huni and couldn't attract a good top laner. Blank was never great. Wolf is overrated and Bang benefited from having Faker and great tops in his solo lanes. SKT wanted to replace Wolf at support, but he's a large part of the shotcalling so they tried to fit him in jungle to still do that. Faker is tilted beyond belief because he isn't used to his teammates being this shit.
