Also SKT with any other mid loses that game 5, IMO. Faker was doing a lot of really good stuff off the major plays that prevented PoE from taking over the game and prevented multiple barons from going to MSF. I don't think any other mid in the world couldn't have done that

I have never felt so glad to see TSM not make it out of Groups. They would never play the way Misfits would've, and it was that play that allowed Misfits to even have a chance of doing what no non-LCK team has ever done before at Worlds.

You did yourselves damn proud, Misfits.

Not just Uzi. Xiaohu is a better player than PoE.

Damn straight.

Honestly, WE or C9 vs. RNG would be hype because it means a non-Korean would win for the first time AND the first time a non-winning region has a chance at the title. Is WE v. RNG less hype than C9 v. RNG?

I'm hype for RNG SSG...but w/e.

Also what do you mean about first time a non-winning region has a chance to win? This would be Royal's 3rd final.

A non-Korean would win for the third time though? Even if you don't wanna count season 1, TPA still beat Azubu Frost S2.

I don't wanna take away anything from Misfits (except that throw in game 4 at mid inhib), but SKT is definitely not playing like other worlds. They survived the series on a fluke.

I think the "non-korean winning" thing was probably referencing since leagues have been standardized, splits happened, etc

On the flip side S2 was a very real season, although that worlds was a complete shitshow.

RNG's body language is still really high. That's a god sign for them that they're laughing and upbeat after that loss (especially from a team that is known for tilting to hell)

C9 outdrafted WE most of the series, then gave them Kog/Janna/Galio in game 5.

yeah. it's hard to fathom what they were doing. It's one thing if they had some clear counter plan cooked up that just didn't work.

I almost feel like they just assumed WE would let Singed through again? Really not sure what the plan was.

I think the play was to take Singed with the third pick, then if Lulu is banned go all-in with an aggressive support.
