Thoughts on SKT and EDG series
The Over Seer of Heaven, Varun of Infinity Blade, once said, "Death is but an inconvenience to a god." A loss, a mistake will not outweigh the accomplishments and dragons a god has conquered. It will only expose small weaknesses and in the end a more polished figure will be developed. May 10th, at the 2015 Mid-Season Invitational, SK Telecom T1 was bested by Edward Gaming in a best of five series, which came down to the 5th game. Edward gaming left open the prophet of the Faker religion knowing Faker would not hesitate to play this champion. As soon as Faker locked in LeBlanc EDG got what they wanted. A team comp that would be difficult to one shot and to lock down Fakers Leblanc. Faker still played excellent but top lane was in Koro's favor and the tournament MVP, Clearlove, dominated the Jungle. Overall, EDG's team composition was too much for the Leblanc and nearly impossible to reached the carries. This is what SKT needed. Sounds odd right? No not quite! The Season 3 World Champions and LCK Spring Split Champs now know what is expected on the international stage and what they need to work on. Maybe next time, Faker will call upon another prophet in games five to fulfill his prophecy. I am looking forward to see the response SK Telecom T1 is going to have as they now have something to prove. SKT will remember this loss, and in my opinion will elevate their play for the remainder of Season 5. I would not look forward to matching up against SKT in the coming games of LCK and Worlds. Maybe mid-laners should take note of Energy's Rune page against Faker, they might need it.
