SKT should have it in the bag.

Looking forward tot he finals. They promise to be good :D
|
as long as skt bot lane doesnt lose to royal's then skt should have it ez
|
|
|
To my surprise, they thought Fnatic was a easy opponent, and they had already been considering how to face SKT before semifinal.
But SKT 3:0 Royal definitely.
|
3rd time Neo complete fucked me up with that Nocturne sound, lol.
|
Skt 3:1. Unlike fnatic, skt can get a lead during laning phase and exploit it cleanly. Also SKT has shown that they can fnatic bush pretty damn well. I don't see royal winning this one.
|
Let's hope for a better dress for Sjokz for the finals !
Also come one Royal !
|
Royal needs to bring their A game. Like tabe said, if they play the way they did against fnatic they cannot win.
|
imo SKT has this on paper
-Royal has a weird jungle, SKT doesn't
-faker will not tunnel on picking fizz therefore white won't win lane for free every game
-skt bot cares about doing well in lane
-compared with skts baron preparation, Royals first couple baron calls were atrocious with two unecessary smitewars

LOL, everyone on TL scare of Koreans because of starcraft. Korean is not that good as they are in RTS.

Summary of Royal Interview
White: Xpeke was overhyped, Faker and Cool are two best mid in the world, they are better than white.
Godlike and White: All of us performed so bad(miss almost every taunt stun and kayle ult), Uzi carry so hard
White: If we still played on this level, we don't need to go to final, we could just go home.
White tweets: When other mid player did not play well, they were underperform; When I did not do well, I was criticized that I was a noob.

Well, Koreans are the best in general as far as eSports goes if they seriously care about a game, that's a widely accepted fact.  Also Royal stated in every interview so far that SKT has completely been stomping them in the scrims they had for Ro8 and Ro4. There are many reasons why SKT are the favourites and it's definitely not only the old "SC hype" that carried over.
Royal has a fair shot of course, but you shouldn't be surprised that many people would put their money on SKT.

Think it'll be SKT 3-2.
Both teams are great at closing out games with a lead, both teams have a good laning phase and their mechanics are solid. You won't see a massive kill lead with one team into loss like Fnatic. Expecting one sub-20 min inhibitor at least
To contrast with the SKT strengths, here's why I'm not going to count out Royal just yet.
-SKT got caught offguard by the anti-Ahri strats. Royal might gain a win or two by pulling something unfamiliar to SKT and of course taking advantage of SKT's weak game 1.
-Royal were (IMO) also disrespecting Fnatic; they will probably try and play tighter against SKT. I thought they looked stronger against OMG
-Bengi seems to slack off with jungler combat items (and this leads to a jungler that's weak in teamfights)
-I think Royal bot lane has a decent chance of winning against SKT bot lane
-Royal L1 strats are good...right?

I dont think so, based on their performance today, SKT can 3:0 Royal easily

I wanted to post on the semifinal thread but it's already been closed (wtf?)
I just saw Cyanide post on Facebook and wondered why does he repetitively say that they're better individually when every lane got stomped every game (except for top) ?
Maybe he and Soaz are better but the rest of Fnatic got outclassed, xPeke included (what a bad series for him I'm still sad)

That's really strange of him to say that, since I'd actually say it's the exact opposite. They played a lot better in teamfights and overall map movement and all that stuff, which showed by the way they were constantly picking up kills and winning fights, but got severely outclassed during the laning phase.
