I don't think the point was to taunt SKT (I could be wrong). I think its more him living up to the Western meme "Don't talk shit to MSI Winner and 100% winrate supersub PromisQ"

but he's showing MSI medal to 2-time MSI champ Faker?

More like he's showing it to the audience IMO. Unless he specifically pointed it at Faker which I don't think he did.

So I didn't see the introduction of players in the semi-finals between G2 and SKT, and I was on YouTube in the last hour when I came across a video showing PromisQ taunting SKT with his MSI medal....

To which I responded with:
Who is PromisQ? And where did he get the balls to taunt the greatest team in LOL history with a (MSI) medal he didn't do jack shit to deserve?
Like, you're a bench-warmer. You didn't beat SKT and you didn't play any games against them.... like sit down.
Now if PerkZ or Caps showed the Medal to taunt SKT that would be a different story, but PromisQ? Damn I'm laughing so hard...

There's a giant meme going on now that PromiseQ is a godly player, with Ocelote even joking around that PromiseQ has more power in G2 than he does.

Yeah, I've heard the meme too, it represents the G2 attitude perfectly. I don't buy it though, Mikyx is undoubetdly the better support, but maybe they really do have a super cheesy strat with promiseQ.

huh, I guess I did not catch on to that meme, which is why his actions perplexed me to no end.

I mean, it didn't even have to be a meme, it was simply a cheeky gesture. Like when you get hard stomped in lane but your team carries you to victory and you say "better top wins" right before the enemy nexus explodes.

I wouldn't see anything wrong with saying that if you don't mean it in a offensive way, and nothing indicates promisq was "taunting" SKT. I see it more like a "I'm bad, but I won hehexd" statement. And even if he was taunting them I see no reason to take it seriously.

I'm so surprised at the Nautilus priority by DoinB and how well he does on it. Curious if it'll become a contested pick for finals?

I don't think so. The whole gameplan for FPX seemed to be, "these guys take literally every bait, we just need some that can survive and we win." Its just basically leaning into the clownfiesta. Maybe it will be, but I don't think G2 are going to dump 100% of their CDs on supports and Solo Naut during 10-20 min fights, which happened a lot this series.

Yeah you're right, would be funny if G2 lost and then people talk about his 'taunt'
