I hope SKT beats g2, not because na vs Eu omegalul but because if TL did somehow win without beating Faker it wouldn’t be the same as winning while beating faker.

I think SKT wins the whole event now tbh

I also want them to win the whole event so take any of my predictions with a grain of salt

Well then my friend is an idiot lol

I think he was tripped up by TL possibly being the 4th team to win MSI since SKT won 2.

If TL beat G2 for the finals it'd be like 2015 IEM Kato all over again.

I think SKT are the heavy favorites to win now, its one thing to beat IG by countering their chaotic and risky playstyle, it's another entirely to beat a team as calculated as SKT.

I will say that the gameplan is largely the same for TL on paper. Have Impact make toplane a muckfest and try to neutralize mid lane. Will of course depend on Xmithie and CoreJJ to show up again if that does end up being the matchup.

While I agree, Mata is known for his fucking galaxy brain and Clid is the best jungler in the tournament, I find it hard to believe TL will overcome that hurdle.

Definitely not saying it will be easy. Mata is also known for forgetting to charge his brain at times too. Can't really talk much on Clid considering I didn't really watch LCK too much last split.

I dont get this one. You would prefer if TL won but that was somehow less legit becausse no Faker?

Anyway Rookie is much better in any case.

Finally got to watch the games. In that series iG was reminding me of S4 SKT. At the end it was sad Faker vs. the World and Piglet didn't know/want to play any style besides his own special style, and he wasn't good enough to do it anymore, and the support was always confused, and Benji was fine, but looked outclassed by the other junglers like spirit and dandy in the important games. Huge flex by the bot lane and jungle of TL.

Potentially the last time we hear the name SK Telecom T1 as well... from next split onwards they'll be known as T1.

Beating Korea in the finals is more hype, it's kinda like how if whoever wins the other semi will get the, didn't have to beat iG treatment if they win(which is likely)

Mata's macro is never the question, it's his split second decision making that causes him to feed. And with TL playing a slow style, I cannot see them beating a team known for macro for their entire existence.
