I feel like SKT's only real hope here is to get an Ashe arrow pickoff around this upcoming Elder.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Who was trying to argue with me that SKT were weak this year and laughing at me because I said SKT don't take anything seriously until Finals.

Giving ROX 3 Infernals was a big mistake, but SKT needs to be commended for how well they played around that. That was just fantastic macro play all around.

Maybe next year just invite the two best Korean teams to worlds and make it a Bo9 and skip the whole group stage nonsense

Have a loser's bracket so we dont get the finals a week before the tournament ends.

51 hp on that elder dragon decided that game

rox would still get smashed by ori shockwave but 4.5 infernals + 3 dragon burn on a viktor and caitlyn [plus smeb doing what he did even as it happened]? holy poo poo

If the smite goes the other way, Viktor still dies (in imaginaryland where everyone still moves the same way the next 2 seconds), but Karma survives and that + 4.5 elders + burn on Caitlyn is probably enough that ROX win it

orianna is really good when you don't build loving rylais and are in a traditional mage matchup vs viktor rather than some janky rear end in a top hat like ryze or asol

faker blasted the poo poo out of the backline so im not convinced rox wins the fight even if they get elder, caitlyn with 500 AD auto attacks still cant 1v4

Karma only died from the Elder Dragon burn and even with 30 hp she can still help peel for Caitlyn. I don't think ROX ace and close out the game if they have the buff, but they would have won the fight at least and would have had a big edge for the next fight.
