id like to get excited for NA being good but if history has taught me anything they're not gonna win a single game at worlds after doing well here

I think NA can definitely take games off of LPL and EU teams, and maybe some of the lower ranked Korean teams, but SKT looks absolutely unstoppable. Like, they've always looked absolutely unstoppable, but Blank's just a loving god now and I don't think even brave hero MikeYeung can compete against him.

Wow that was a gorgeous play. High risk but crazy reward and they nailed it.

Edit: Exileh just straight up killed Hyli there...what the gently caress man. Just take the arrow and let him eat you!

Sven baited TSM intentionally there so he could 1v5 and make sure Regi doesn't consider replacing him in offseason.

Bot lane stream has some great insights about how UOL hugely misplayed their lead and the poor macro that lead up to TSM winning that big fight. Really interesting stuff.

Same old story, looks like UOL doesn't understand macro and warding properly and just roll the dice on chaotic teamfights and aggressive plays to take their wins. Once they play into a team that can stand toe to toe in the teamfights and does understand the macro game then UOL gets rolled. They might have taken a game during the series with a chaotic fight or a TSM misplay but there wasn't really any way TSM could have lost the series.

UoL made TSM look like SKT briefly there, right down to the notorious game 3 sloppiness into TSM buckling down and straight up outfighting them.

Yeah personally I feel like not having constant international competition and having it as a single elim tournament just favors the Koreans way too much. There's not much for other regions can do to prepare themselves in a tournament setting against them. Idk i don't watch league that much because Korea always comes out on top and I think that's boring.

Actually NA teams historically prepare very well and brutally beat up the stagnant and lovely Korean teams, who are then forced into the league mine to play 20 hours a day during the insane week downtime between games because a tournament needs to last a month and a half for some reason.

No, but double elimination would be a lot more entertaining to watch than the current system

If you want to see a nice comeback, watch Game 5 between CBLOL and CLS at Rift Rivals finals.

edit: Also, look at the results for the CIS-Turkey Rift Rivals group stage and laugh.

I think WE can beat anyone but SKT, and both RNG and OMG should be able to beat MVP right now. Getting the win over SSG is probably the hump that opens things up for LPL to legit win this.
