Spirit is used to carrying trash teams with no synergy or communication and he learned mandarin really quickly and was the shot caller in under one split. I think TSM is very likely to pick up Freeze or Forgiven tho.

mushi posted:also looking forward to another year of monte/thorin smugness since Monte called SKT to win the whole thing and the Chinese teams got smashed. He already did that in S3. The SKT1 T1 hype train and conductor hat, train whistle was his response to everyone giving him poo poo behind the scenes so he decided to go full heel. A Moose posted:quoting this until a korean team loses to any one else in semi finals Do you think the 2 best teams didn't end up in finals? Yeah it wasn't that close but if you remember season 2 the finals were a pretty convincing stomp for TPA as well. It's not just league and not just e-sports, electric evenly matched championship games/series are pretty rare, though you might be forgiven if you're like 20 and grew up watching the NFL and then stopped watching it like 2 years ago.

What happened to the NFL two years ago?

Well last year IIRC was close but there's been some absolute utter shitstomp trainwrecks (Broncos/Seahawks) and until the 2000-2010ish era blowouts were pretty common. The point is that memorable finals are more the exception than the rule since it's pretty hard even with seeding to make sure the 2 best teams meet in it, and then there's going to be a high probability one is just going to be flat out better than the other

that's more that the nfl has a one game final so you also have upsets more often (the two worst super bowl qualifying giants teams beating superior patriots teams twice, the 01 patriots beating a superior rams team, etc). if you had 3-5 games series you'd end up with high seed teams matched which would be much more even. you'd see the same thing happen if every video game competition just did one game series throughout as well as happens in the nfl.

To some degree it's why the first round of groups was so loving goofy because teams only played a bunch of one of's

All I know about football is that the Patriots team which went undefeated (and I presume were really good) lost on a lucky catch which was pretty funny Though to be fair if SKT lost to OG in a Bo1 finals to a random Xpeke backdoor or something like that I would be raging hard

Regarding Forgiven, I don't think TSM will bank on the 2016 ADC meta being Lucian and Graves, so TSM Freeze it is. At least he can play more than 2 champions.

Final was a lot better than it could have been. Highlight of Worlds was definitely the Chinese teams getting smoked and groups in general.

I'm seriously trying to think of even a single team in the 2016 NA LCS that might be even mildly surprising or interesting to watch, but right now it's looking like:

poach Impact and Adrian, import a korean jungler, and you're done TSM. alternatively get Aphromoo if he's also getting the boot, which I HIGHLY doubt.

Jesus - if they get Impact and even a replacement-level jungle it'll be an absurd team. I am going to have a hell of a time figuring out who to cheer for though.

I bet CLG is moving Aphro to ADC right now.

Really though the CLG jersey into the trash bin was uh, full NA let's say. Or maybe full CN. Let's have a loving blood feud.

China may potentially sell off some currently underperforming players who might just want to head over to NA to qualify for World 2016 easily (disregarding the current NA Korean imports that moved in for that very reason, because lets face it, playing for TSM is your absolute best chance to go to worlds while in NA). I cannot for the life of me see what CLG is going to do now that they're seemingly kicking their best players.
