C9 vs FNC

C9 has been my favorite NA team since Season 5. I wish I could say the games were worth watching, but they weren't. Even when ahead, FNC always had an answer. Even when behind, FNC had the confidence to make big plays team fights and macro to win the game. C9 seemed unable and unwilling to adapt to the meta. Unable to play power picks like Irelia and Akali. Every champ select was essentially the same picks. The worst pick being Lissandra all three games IMO.

Congratulations to FNC on advancing to finals. Congratulations to C9 for getting advancing in play-ins, going to groups, and advancing to knockouts, then beating the koreans 3-0, then being the first NA team to make it to semifinals in years.
