That was probably the biggest dragon steal I've seen in a long time.

I May played a really difficult composition that had pretty much no margin for error and they made too many errors early. Flash Wolves should have won a lot more team fights than they did with their composition but seemed to never setup a good team fight for some reason, probably lack of engage. Rek'Sai/Gnar didn't really do a good job of starting fights, and they probably could have used something like an Alistar on their team instead of Karma, I don't know.

flash wolves are a loving terrible team who don't know how to play mid game beyond "let mmd push up on his own and we'll group mid", imay is a horrendous stylistic matchup for them

I agree. They needed some kind of hard engage once they got to midgame, because they ended up just getting gradually whittled down by Varus with no way to close the distance, and trying to keep their distance doesn't work against Zac, the longest range primary initiator in the game.

Also, thanks for the recommendation on the Player's View stream. These casters are vastly more tolerable.

A game can have throws or other mistakes in it and still be entertaining, exciting etc. I mean, I've called games terrible before for similar criteria so it's probably just a personal, arbitrary thing. Oh well.

Well this is upside down Worlds. So normally I'd say TSM should upset SSG here because they are korean and thus have an advantage. However since all the pros who have played TSM think they are very strong, as well as most analysts, they are favored. Thus the upside down worlds says SSG will win and Im gonna turn into a corncob.

This version of Samsung has none of the players from Season 4 because all of them went to China. This version of Samsung is kinda sloppy and they take a while to close out games and prob only made it to World's because KT tilted off the planet in Game 5 of Tigers vs KT

e: None of those players were rookies either, Samsung White made it to World's the year before
