Super volatile pick/ban with tons of squishies on each side. Fnatic are probably favored just based on form and the fact that they probably have better shotcalling. | ||

Exploitable lane phase and even in lategame it's not nearly as good as old school hypercarries like Kog/Jinx. Just because you like the champion doesn't mean it's a good pick in every situation. Super volatile pick/ban with tons of squishies on each side. Fnatic are probably favored just based on form and the fact that they probably have better shotcalling. Kaisa's early game and lane phase is fine. She can push/farm/trade with Q which is basically free. She can also itemize a number of different ways and still do a ton of damage. Lategame she's FAR, FAR more survivable than a kog or Jinx, between her E and R, and unlike the both of them, she has upfront burst damage and I don't think the DPS difference is even remotely large. I would agree it's not worth the priority, but it's not like kaisa is bad in any way. | ||

Which games are worth to watch, or should I just binge all for the Western self masturbatory experience? | ||

But then again worlds is not that often, so I would watch them all. Or at least fast forward through the stomp games. | ||

Didn't watch C9 vs AF G1, but G2 seemed to showcase why AF was inferior, because they got huge leads on that Ryze but still got crushed. Whole FNC vs EDG series is good, at least from an entertainment perspective. That said, I would like someone to explain to me how in the world EDG was collecting kills the first 10 minutes, but had only a marginal gold lead. Failure to prioritize real objectives? Bad macro? FNC playing really well? LeBlanc OP (I honestly think she is again)? Bwipo godlike Swain or secret OP? I watched the game so confused as to why it felt like EDG was crushing but still looking like they couldn't possibly win. | ||

Also this iteration of Fnatic is the best since the legendary 2015 roster and they've been a top 4 team all tournament, so I wouldn't say ALL the favorites have been shit | ||

I watched the game so confused as to why it felt like EDG was crushing but still looking like they couldn't possibly win. They were investing huge amounts of gold into making the kills happen, without taking turrets from it. In one of the dives I think bwipo just TPS top to catch a wave and push tower. 4 or 5 people for a kill vs. 2 Laners farming isn't actually that mismatched in terms of gold. Add in the fact that the lanes were in fnatics favor, and yeah, they lose out on kills, but the other lanes are accruing big XP and CS advantages to make up for it. | ||

Also this iteration of Fnatic is the best since the legendary 2015 roster and they've been a top 4 team all tournament, Honestly I think this Fnatic is even better. If you watch Bwipo and Broxah closely, you will see them styling on their opponents pretty hard in terms of mechanics while playing very smart. Reignover didn't have those mechanics, and Huni did not have the same level of game IQ. There is honestly no real weak player on the team, sure Caps is feeding hard sometimes but he can still carry and a lot of it comes down to enemy teams pressuring him quite hard. They were investing huge amounts of gold into making the kills happen, without taking turrets from it. Yeah, that was my thought as well. And my question is why EDG thought this was a valid approach to the game, it's like they decided to throw strategy out and thought they could just beat FNC by inducing a blood bath. That works vs low level teams, but not in the quarter finals ffs. Also got to see some braindead CN ADC play again, I loved that one iBoy ult into the enemy team at dragon while having a Braum stack on him. No Jacky moments for him lol. | ||
