Yeah Ocean is honestly still really strong. Functionally infinite mana on everybody, and perpetually high health when rotating or poking is just insane.
that was the most retarded baron call ive seen. why would you risk everything on that when youre just starting to get a foot in the game again. most un lck call ive seen, especially seeing as it was skt

also khan sucked almost the entire series
Khan had no hands. They back there and teddy has wits end and its basically free win since G2 can't do baron unless SKT start it zzzzzz
I think the biggest difference in skill level was Wunder to Khan, Wunder was much much better than him the entire series. Faker also didn't do a thing for 20 minutes with his Leblanc, it was basically the Wunder show in another cheesy pyke game, yet I feel like SKT were on their up till the massive baron throw, SKT can only blame themselves for losing every early game tbh.

I agree with everything you're saying, with the caveat that Caps could also show up and int his face off

I think you really underestimate Mickyx, he's head and shoulders better mechanically speaking for example. That might not seem so important, but it can mean the difference between surviving a gank or completely reversing a situation. CoreJJ brings the experience though and I'd rate him higher, just that G2 doesn't have to worry about their support losing them the game.
I'm expecting Caps to either clap mid or get clapped himself. Also, I rate Jankos's A game higher than Xmithie's A game, casters really overlook how often he's there at the right place at the right time. There must have been at least half a dozen times this tournament when someone on G2 gets ganked and dies, and Jankos cleans up for an even trade. Or outright gets the better gank/countergank. And that was against star junglers like Ning and Clid, Xmithie really doesn't give me that same vibe.
