Wow! That game really turned around. I’ve been very pro IG for a long time, but I was seriously doubting at the start of game one. I was amazed at the turnaround. Some great fights.

That said, if KT plays tight I’m not sure IG can keep up with KT’s vision game. So I still think KT is the favorite even with game one.

Ning got outjungled hard but it didn't matter due to KT taking dumb fights midgame even with a lead. Let's see if KT will pull off a legendary choke this series.

Its really hilarious that everyone on the analyst desk/casters don't mention that KT has choked for literal years, and just because they beat a group of fucking rookies 3-2 doesn't mean they're magically no longer tilt lords.

Isn't red side statistically better than blue side in the LPL? Why give a team the same side you can't out draft them on that they're also favored on?

As much as I don't want KT to win I'm glad they didn't lose that game. iG's draft was hot garbage

I mean drafting Fiora at all gives you a garbage comp with your only win condition being toplaner gets 3 solo kills and takes nexus. I guess they could've drafted more waveclear mid/jungle but Liss/Xin are decent picks in a vacuum.

The Fiora was the icing on the cake of this dumpster fire draft. They gave away having Xayah/Rakan for literally no gain. They CHOSE to not have Xayah/Rakan, to.....do what? All they had to do was first rotation Xin/Rakan and they maintain the best bot lane duo AND their jungler of choice. Hell doing that AND taking Fiora is still better than what they did

That draft super tilted me, it was like iG was fucking with KT more than they were trying to make a good draft

EDIT: And now KT have wised up 4 games in and realized giving them Xayah/Rakan isn't smart

Kaisa/Rakan is a notoriously weak 2v2 lane, literally game losing in some situations. IG getting Xayah/Alistar is fine to trade off for that. That wasn't even remotely the problem with IG pick/ban.

I get that Kaisa/Rakan isn't a great bot lane. But Xayah/Rakan is literally THE bot lane. Its not like they gave it up to get Urgot in the Urgot/Aatrox match up. They got it for nothing because they were always going to be able to get Alistar/Xayah if they wanted it. That and Baolan looked like an absolute monster on Rakan, even into a Leona counter. Makes no sense to avoid a match up you already won, especially for nothing in return. And that doesn't even get me started on how much I hate that Fiora pick

Lol this series is over. IG is going to tilt off the face of the earth after that 1v2.

This reminds me of the SKT/Misfits series last year where Misfits looked like the better team until they didn't
