Im just gonna say the CNCN semi was a total shitshow. Maybe being mildly better at shitshowing is the new meta, but in G1 the wrong team won, and in G2 the wrong team won, and then in G3 and 4 the right team won, but they tried really hard to not win.

Its really bad, and we need more vision or something. Like, a team with a Jax trying to force fights while Jax is pushing on your own side of the river? You do know that that is basically your dream? Right? Like the reality is he's about to take an inhib if you just fuck with the enemy for a while instead of trying to dive wolves.

Lack of vision is a defining aspect of the current meta, its the main reason rigid KR macro doesn't work anymore, you can't light the map up with wards when ahead. Some teams still place very few wards though, I think SN is one of them.

I just don't see SN standing a chance, they are good but messy. This DWG version looks like the best KR team in years, they have crazy good macro and are proactive without suiciding like monkeys (GenG this year...). Nobody on the team is a weak link, they have solid laning phase and great team fighting. Be interesting to see the Canyon SoFM match up, also the Bin Nuguri top duel since both are primarily carry players who would love to play Jax/Fiora/Sett/Camille etc.

I expect 3-0, Nuguri won't even get a chance to play something derpy like Fiora.

Glad to see I'm not not only one predicting Damwon to win. Was worried I might be irrationally biased against Sunning because I bet against them in the semifinal too despite them looking better than TES earlier.

No worries, I actually feel I am also unfairly biased, SN has shown the entire tournament that they're a top team beating 2 contenders (3 if you count G2), but DWG is so clean and looks like the best team KR in years. Watching LPL this year, there was no real indication that SN would beat JDG and TES, they were a top team but still a tier below the big 2.

We've never really had a dark horse in the finals, besides S2 because of lack of information on TPA. FPX/G2 were both first seeds, FNC/iG was a first seed and everyone who watched LPL knew iG was just a monster roster, both SSG/SKT finals were expected given KR dominance.

Zefa not touching his hair. Is this a sign?

Pretty amazing that SN is keeping it close despite DWG having infernal soul super early and keeping close on gold with an Ornn.

Casters missing how many godlike ults he's made this game,, he is literally the reason DWG is winning these fights.

Suning are down probably 10-15k in stats just through the drakes and Ornn items and still look like they could win the game. Pretty incredible tbh.

Close game, but the DWG drake control was huge and really swung the game. Starting with that fight at Soul, the game got really messy, lots of picks which let one game dictate the next 2+ minutes.

Showmaker MVP imo, lots of great ults and zone control in team fights.

DWG was so controlled from a certain point onwards (after first baron for SN), it didn't feel like that at all.
They literally left no gap open for them to engage. This could definitely go 3-0 or 3-2, very hard to call at the moment.

Quality game 1. Bin made the game competitive for a while but in the end, Damwon managed to get rid of that Wukong ult when it mattered.

Oooh boy spicy picks this time around.

Rengar and Evelynn. And 200 years, who's been somewhat absent from worlds. And a Fiora into Ornn as well.

This honestly looks like the soloQ special from SN.

Looks like EU masters. I think there was a rengar vs eve there.
Edit: AGO rogue vs Gamer Legion it was. A win for rengar.

DAMWON really controlled Wukong so well (other than the one Elder fight). Had the flank locked down at all times. beryl so good
