That was some solo queue poo poo, j4 engages way ahead of his team while they're still breaking the tower.

Ah right, I think this is where EU could really benefit from the support that NA tends to get in showcasing the players, because EU tends to be just a bunch of faces without any real personalities being shown off unless they're upcoming superstars or old timers still kicking around, like Froggen.

SK do look like loving beasts this split, fair play.

SK was really ahead to equally trade with a Jinx like that.

Alright, apparently all of our compliments went straight to freddy's head.

No, sven smited it, I'm just not sure how he got in range.

E: Like I saw kennen go in with the team behind and suddenly a smite happened even though it looked like sven was outside the pit?

Freddy is such a terrifying threat that UoL focused on him.

He has a permanent trollpole effect. This guy is just loving unreal, so glad I drafted him. He's got a loving what, 40+ KDA? If there's a candidate for 'Faker of ADC' it's him, guaranteed.

EDIT: For the curious, SK meets Fnatic Week 5. The central week is gonna be winner takes all, I think. Get loving hype for it.

SK is probably the only euro team worth watching right now and it's not just that they're winning they actually play the game.

SK is far and away the most strategically sound team in the West so far, such control over the entire game. Shame some of their players have done some pretty lovely things, they are good contenders for number one in the West at this point.

They're the other team worth watching, but there's absolutely no doubts in my mind that SK is the Number One of europe until proven otherwise. Fnatic struggled with Roccat, SK loving dismantled them.

Forgiven still maitained the perfect level of CS through that game, without dying, and with a big KDA. This makes him look like one of the strongest 3 AD carries in the world right now.

Roccat. Beating them is literally easier than landing a hook on a big fat stationary jungle creep.

White people shouldn't play Rengar. Leave it to China and Korea. I'm ready for Airwalks to make almost no early game impact and get blown up mid-late game because he has no backup (Like Ori/lulu)

The problem with "SK is super good" is we've also accepted that everyone else in EU is bad except maybe Fnatic. Who cares if they can beat really lovely opponents, the real question is can they beat the Chinese/Korean teams and I guess maybe Liquid or TSM on a good day.

To be fair Liquid, SK and Fnatic are the only solid looking LCS teams at the moment. That'll probably change in the coming weeks but for now things aren't looking great in either region.
