I don't know why people have been so hyped about Samsung, they have spent all of 2016 flipping between like 4th and 8th best Korean team and somehow won regionals off the back of a godlike CoreJJ performance which in retrospect seems like the most unlikely thing in the world to have happened in 2016.

People just see "Samsung' and assume that they aren't a middling Korean team

Maybe I misheard this but didn't that guy who was leaking Na scrims leak all of tsm's and it came out that they won every other scrim aside from the first one and in convincing manner too?

yes they 5-1'd SKT and only lost the last one when Duke subbed out lmao

edit: but i just wanna say i believe monte & weldon when they say that Korea doesnt take scrims vs NA teams as seriously and also that TSM tryhards too much in scrims but still T S M

TSM always lose the first game to get their footing, now time to sweep the rest of the group.

You have to realize that most people don't watch regular LCK games, so to them KT is the team that knocked out SKT in the playoffs.

Well KT held their own against Tigers until Game 5 where their jungler got sucked into playing Kindred after like 12 straight nerfs

In Summer split KT had KDA leaders in second place in every role except Jungle, where Score was first. KT were doing really well Summer split all the way into Game 5 where all the junglers were banned out and Score went to Kindred who had been nerfed heavily since he played her last, early on you could see Kindred missing out on kills by slivers of health because I think Score expected her to do a bit more damage

Teams just sandbag in scrims, SSG is actually really bad and theres only two good teams in korea, TSM will lose to ??? anyways, ugh why do these Neck Beards keep saying TSM loudly and rhythmically, Groups being in NA is an unfair advantage, Svenskren should be banned for RACIST, now that I think about it those grapes I've been trying to get are actually probably sour so this wasn't wasted time after all.

This is pretty true, other than libertine, sexpansion, and maybe rabidsquid trying to effortpost, everything here is just facilitating Kevin's bizarro comedy and it's great.

Edit: I want Splyce to lose but only so Yamato can join the analyst desk

RNG can actually legit win worlds and it wont even be hard if they can continue to play like a real team... On the other hand worlds is like 5 weeks long so eventually UZI is going to read a rude tweet on Chinese twitter and that will be that.
