And it were the people who looked for such alleviations that cracked when it mattered. Winners play better under pressure, they aren't looking for ways out.
Surrender, imagine and of course wear something nice.
The thing is that all of the Korean League players know each other personally, since they're in Seoul and hang out in internet cafes. Thus a lot of the "BM" is teasing that is taken out of context, or hype videos (OGN likes making hype videos where the teams trash talk each other, but everyone knows that not much is meant by these and they're hype builders).
I mean that's not to say that manners play doesn't exist, I love Samsung and their manners team vs. IM (or the manners sword). But in general it's nowhere close to the shitshow that is NA.

I said KT Arrows cannot beat anyone reliably. This was shown when KT Arrows lost to White Shield directly after winning OGN.
I know you get off on trying to make me look bad, it's very common way for people with low self esteem to build their ego by tearing down their betters, but at least try and get your facts right. 'cause when you don't, bro, that is a sad, sad thing.

Yes, I stand by it. A different day, SKT would have won. Bengi was tilting, and White Shield was on a tear, but they're still not a team anyone can count out.
The difference in skill between the Samsung teams and White Shield is hard to overstate at the moment. They're just leagues ahead. White Shield has unbelievable map control (somewhere SKT has always stumbled) but the Samsung teams have that and individual skill too. SKT did not win NLB for no reason, and White Shield didn't get crushed flat by Samsung White for no reason.
His use of Janna ult is fascinating. He uses it more like a Soraka ult than a Nami/Zyra ult.
He really uses it the pick amazingly with his teams map control. It's just a pick to win the map, not to engage or disengage... it's kind of fascinating. NJWS has found an entirely new way to play league, and with (speaking frankly) less than the top tier mechanical players, has found success.
Alternatively, they were fed up with the shit working conditions in China, where Chinese pros are treated in underhanded manners and often paid ridiculously low wages (even by Chinese standards) while team owners rake in hundreds or thousands of time their salaries. You know, like they said.
One of the two. (By the by, Royal Club was not exactly a washed up team)
