Seems like T1 gave ESP a lot more respect in that series than they deserved.

perhaps to no one's great surprise, the VCS team that got piecemeal assembled out of anyone even vaguely involved in the VCS who wasn't knee-deep in corruption isn't going so well

I have no idea why LEC teams are importing Korean players. Canna is somewhat acceptable because top is a loving black hole in EU, but importing KR challenger players over ERLs should be illegal.

probably a combination of an outdated perception of korean players as having superior gaming genetics and the ability to offer a lower salary to a KR challenger who's desperate to break into the scene and can be more easily made to heel in a foreign environment

Fnatic are absolutely toast but they're toast in a way that ends up looking sadder because they'll have a super fed Leblanc that ends up doing nothing of actual impact. Given he's nearly 2k gold up alone but hasn't even taken a tower while Top just keep pushing mid it seems already set.

E: lmao and Humanoid fails to kill the Nami and gives his shut down over to Jackey.

E2: lmao again Tien is reading Humanoid like a book.

Ehh, the gold lead wasn't actually that big for much of it. Top could absolutely have waited for Fnatic to do something dumb if they hadn't done the incredibly dumb thing of walking up to an unwarded brush in a tightly grouped pack when there's a Renata on the other team.

Getting swept by T1 is what every team in the LCK did except HLE, GenG, and KT.

sure, and i'm not expecting a miracle, but you have to, at some point, collectively swing for the fences as a team, and that's something NA teams have frequently been bad at when it comes to international events

considering how much poo poo inspired was talking about jensen post-finals, i wouldn't be surprised if the team's mood was purely professional in that "i'm here to receive a paycheck" way where there's neither sufficient trust nor drive to attempt anything exceptional, especially in what you've mentally assessed as a losing position beforehand

Sure. The top team in LLA is probably closer to the top team in LCS than Top is to T1, though.


I don't think even taking a game was a practical likelihood. It would have been a massive upset to even do that.

I didn't say they were. But if you look at their record in the LPL and any of those cross-league rating systems, they're worse than T1, a team that swept the LPL in worlds.

it's hard not to root for them, even though i'm a big maple supporter. CBLOL and LLL have been really rising up the ranks in the last couple of years whenever i see them at MSI/worlds, and it'd be nice to see them start to find international success in the same way they've grown domestically
