Good attempts to get back in the game, but coming back from that kind of a deficit is almost impossible. | ||

They just got run over early by Reksai. PVB had shown before that they were quite good in early game skirmishing, so this was not totally surprising given the team comps. | ||

Perhaps they're playing 4D chess and either they lost on purpose only to bait the counter and to punish itnext draft OR they just tried it and found out iG is too good at punishing the strat so they won't go for it. Either way, a win-win. On the other hand, I've seen the way SKT loses games and them being blasted like that makes me sad because this means their glory days of being the world's powerhouse might be truly over. if skt fails hard in the bo5s then wed have something to talk about but as far as im concerned skt is just getting a feel for opponents and hiding strats in group stages atm. there is literally no reason to go all out in the group stages. the smart move would be to do enough to make the knockout stages but show your opponents as little as possible about what kind of team you are. | ||

When they aren't going full dumbo it's great to watch a team make aggressively smart plays. A bit frustrating how people talk down their macro when it's actually their biggest strength. | ||

Looking at the graphs, SKT is basically going to make it through, they just need to win one of their games. It doesn't look so great for TL tbh, assuming they beat PVB but lose to iG, they have to basically win vs SKT or pray that SKT loses to FW. It's not unreasonable, SKT might win both games, but not what they would like for sure. | ||

I think it was after their first match where Perkz said something along the lines of in EU we play a similar game and teams just die to our rotations but since SKT are way better they avoided most of the deaths but even after avoiding them they still fell behind and eventually got choked out. | ||

Imagine how this game would've gone if G2 didn't make biggest greed play of the year. | ||
