I'd slightly edge it to Nami since you won't loose engage with her. I was thinking giving the edge to Raka, Actually does Raka silence stop Taric stun in the same way it stops Pyke Q?
Pretty tight window but I think it does.

The only thing that can counter Sona /Taric has to be something involving team play because solo q has been trying to figure it out for a while and nothing has become obvious yet
Also people are focusing way too hard on the dual support thing, it’s what makes them strong in lane but Sona is building damage, her dps late is good, she is enabling herself, soraka cannot do this.

Is there any way to see how many Nami or Soraka games have gone against it?

Are you talking about core Soraka? Her late game is fine but her item scaling is not good.
There’s 3 big reasons this is strong 1) support item abuse 2)a winning Taric lane is actually broken in general 3) Sona is one of the best item scaling champions in the game
Btw I’m not saying they are op as in 60%+ win rate, I’m saying you can’t stop them from executing their game plan
1)out golding your bot lane 2)Securing their team has the better team fight (compositionally) 3)blacking out your mini map

TSM is one of those big teams that are there every year, exactly what I was alluding to.
Also I dont see at all how an even League shows weakness. The weaker leagues are also pretty lop sided in general and not even at all. For the comparison between leagues at worlds only the top 3 are used, but if 4-10 are the same strength as the top 3 I would define that as a stronger League than one where 4-10 are far behind.

Impact was great this game. Very strong game from all of TL but Impact has been pretty good so far.

TL vs FlyQ gonnabe like SKT vs KZ last night. + Show Spoiler +Close first game, not so close second game and then TL(SKT) completely smashes FlyQ(KZ) in game 3

Didn't they smash tank Victor in one of the patches? Interesting pickup if he's just playing the lane counter.

TSM, Fnatic, SKT imo. Could definitely change to G2 if Fnatic struggles.

hmm what a surprise, come playoff TL look like the clear #1 again

TL is 18-2 in play off games since last season. Have to be clear favorites. Would not mind a surpise, even though it is TSM.

TSM can make it interesting for sure.

Regular split: C9 2-0 TSM, TSM 2-0 TL, TL 2-0 C9 if Playoffs: TSM 3-2 C9 and breaks the curse then Finals should be: TL 3-2 TSM since it's only fair for TL to win since TSM broke the curse, they get the curse rebounded on themselves

I don’t think beating a team outside of the top 3 says anything about your strength vs the top 3 with regards to NA this season. So I don’t think 3-0 vs 3-2 in the semis says anything about the finals.
