It's because there's no true ace in SKT, because practically everyone can fill the role, whereas with Jin Air, for example, it's pretty certain that Maru will be wheeled out when they desperately need that win, or arguably Zest for KT. With SKT though, you've got Dream and Dark mostly sharing the ace spot this season so far, and that's before you get to the ridiculous strength in depth with INno / Classic / soO all having done the job in the past. Essentially, SKT have a strong enough squad that they can rotate pretty much at will just so they're 100% certain of their plans in BO7 playoff format in August. You might win round playoffs with a super-ace like Maru carrying the all kill, but that won't help you in the proleague format on finals day. | ||

We'll see if Jin Air's depth can be enough, but SKT should by all means win this season, yeah. KT is super strong too, if they start fielding TY + Life decides to not suck. | ||

The cost benefit analysis of benching Flash probably results in keeping him for the fans/revenue, even if it's not the best choice for winning games. It also seems like Life is pulling a forGG / theMarine and deciding to really suck now that he's got that KT $$$ Jin Air has a tiny chance if Rogue and sOs play like beasts, but the overwhelming power of Innovation/Classic/Dark/Dream means you need to really have your stars align (heh) if you want to take SKT out, and it's just too unlikely that every player on JAGW has a monster day. | ||
