Last chance for a foreign team to beat a Korean team in this tournament? Empire has as good a chance as any other foreign team but ultimately they only have 2 Korean-caliber members in Kas and violet. Prime 5-2.

Not seen Happy's play i supose, don't underestimate Empire, peeple keep doing that, it's going to be a close series, i'd say Prime 5 vs Empire 4, simply because of there bigger lineup.
Empire are good, but Prime are the kings of the team leagues, they wont lose this, Nobody on the empire team can beat Creator if he is playing his best, and Marineking and Byun also have to potential to all kill, sadly. I'm rooting for Prime, but i hope it is close.

It`s played on NA. Eastern Europe may have even worse latency than Korea sometimes.

When I said it (somewhere) people thought im saying that EU > NA is worse than KR > NA, I didnt mean that, but that east EU > NA got worse lag than KR > NA and this was tested when Kas and me were at WCG.
But saying Empire might have a chance because of that is funny since we lag more

I didn't say it like whoever lags the most will Be the most likely team to win, rather since there is lag for both the outcome can be kinda random. And depending of the teamhouse the lag isn't the same for koreans, so it's hard to figure how much somebody from KR lag.
Interesting matchup here. The poll is really close. I give the edge to Prime because, well, it's a proven Korean team that made it to the GSTL finals last season. That's impressive. Empire definitely has a chance, though, because in terms of player depth, they have a pretty damn good roster.
Kas is the wildcard. He's beaten MarineKing in the past (WCG) and also recently beat Zenio (IEM.) Definitely capable of helping them win, if they do manage to win.
