They earned some respect tonight.

Brain Errör 404Oct 30, 20164 votes

Damn straight.

MelledoneusOct 30, 20166 votes

Even SKT acknowledged that they were worthy opponents. And I respect both teams for such a wonderful display of skill and teamwork.

Spaceman5pffOct 31, 20163 votes

Now I want SKT to admit that they got hella favored by the huge Ori buffs ON the worlds patch.

General Esdeath Oct 31, 20161 votes

I don't get when people say they earned respect. I respect all the LCS teams for getting there and their practice.

(Except ROX, you shits brought support MF upon us all ^)

Spaceman5pffOct 31, 20162 votes

Having been at Madison Square Garden for ROX vs SKT, I thank them for giving me the single most hype series ever.

Fuck SKT. -___- Third set of crap skins.

How dare they try and win! /s

Spaceman5pffOct 31, 20161 votes

Rly tho Rito broke the tradition of mass-buffing Corki on the worlds patch, and instead buffed Orianna, Fakers most played champion.

rtbf225618241Oct 30, 20165 votes

How are they crap skins? Wat? They even upgraded them last year.

SpecterVonBarenOct 30, 20164 votes

While I don't agree with his sentiment, I also really don't like SKT's color scheme.

rtbf225618241Oct 30, 20161 votes

I guess Red is getting old given how it's put on the skins but okay then.

SpecterVonBarenOct 31, 20163 votes

Their combo of gold, navy blue, and red just doesn't appeal to me.

CorruptedScytheOct 31, 20162 votes

This is the reason.

Also. They were doing crap this season until worlds. I just wanted a breath of fresh air. When SKT is doing well it's "Yeah, yeah. That's expected. Good job." I really wanted ROX to win or an NA team. 3 worlds wins is just boring.

DragonStriker V8Oct 30, 20164 votes

can we talk about how Faker BM'ed Crown, by picking his favourite champ. I do not like how SKT won, to me they have dishonored themselves. I new faker was tricky and good at this game, but this is unforgettable, why couldnt he play Ryze or Orianna man why the did he have to BM Crown.

Hardstuck G4Oct 30, 201613 votes

By picking a highly contested pick that would help them win, who historically Faker is fantastic on? Much BM such wow

Spaceman5pffOct 31, 20161 votes

Not really. SKT has made a habit of giving enemy mids their best pick game 1, then slaying them with it game 2 just to tilt them.

Hardstuck G4Oct 31, 20161 votes

He was complaining that Faker picked Viktor in game 5, Crown's historically best champion :P

Spaceman5pffNov 1, 20161 votes

Faker also picked Viktor is game 2, fitting the SKT pattern of beating your ass with your own best picks, with the goal of tilting the shit out of you.

Hardstuck G4Nov 1, 20161 votes

Yeah, I would've been pretty demoralized if I were Crown, getting smashed by my favorite champion

MazariamontiOct 30, 20162 votes

I hope faker picks Viktor for his skin so that Viktor will be 'his' champion even though Crown is probably better on it.

Viktorious SayphOct 30, 20163 votes

As a season 3 Viktor main, PLEASE NO.

FAKER IF YOU SEE THIS, NO PLS

333lomOct 30, 20162 votes

I was horrified when I saw that happening. I agree that was a low move.

Hardstuck G4Nov 1, 20161 votes

It was a way to win, not a low move at all.

SplashworksOct 30, 201615 votes

ROX and SSG put up great games :(

I know... man, my heart was beating so fast. I think I got a bit of dirt in my eyes. I'm touched. -sniffles-

I really want cloud 9 to win a championship. JUST IMAGINE CLOUD 9 SKINS HOW SICK WOULD THAT BE?

falldown010Oct 30, 201619 votes

cl9 will never get remotely close to the amount of skill the korean groups had so its better to let go of that dream ; there are possible things and impossible things

80961062_DELOct 30, 20167 votes

Neither will the EU teams. sniffs Let's just face it everyone

NA and EU will never be close to the Korean and Chinese skill level. All that processed shit we eat, closes off focus.

Brain Errör 404Oct 30, 20166 votes

It's all in the attitude, and if the teams have this same attitude, then yeah... they won't make it far.

SmileInABoxOct 30, 20163 votes

A lot of them seem to abandon real practice for the profit of streaming, especially NA.

The chinese had their worst year of worlds ever. The barely did better than EU.

Kingdom CornOct 31, 20162 votes

I am more talking about c9 skins I think they would look nice :) And it is possible KINDA. If c9 somehow pull fucking 420 billion dollars out their asshole and buy the whole skt roster... Then yes it is possible for it to happen, IN THEORY.

ItsOrvalOct 30, 20162 votes

Eh, C9 is no where near the skill level of Koreans. They miss tons of skill shots, and just make lots of wrong plays.

Koreans are good at this game because they keep their teams cultural. Which means they only choose players who are from Korea, speak Korean as first language, and live there. While other teams basically try to just recruit the best players they can find. Take for example C9 Impact, C9's best player, he speaks English not to well because it is not his first language, making it hard for team mates to understand him.

Also Korea treats video games as a sport for their country. So people who literally spend all day, all night, eating hardly anything just to play as long as they can is what C9 faces. They have gaming lounges everywhere where you can just go in and play games and eat food. Making video games more accepted in their society.

Kingdom CornOct 30, 20162 votes

I am not talking about the skill of c9. I think everyone missed my point here. C9 skins would look nice. I know it is highly unlikely for them to make it to finals but c9 skins have a lot of potential in my head :) Notice how I said SKINS not the team.

CavemanteroOct 31, 20161 votes

well as it is you get the skins by winning the championship...maybe they should have an EU, NA, and Asian set.

falldown010Oct 31, 20161 votes

prob would cost too much money and riot doesn't like that, in terms of plays as well

it will be less interesting as well, since we all know , what championship we should be watching, if we want to get a good world experience -> the asain set, and in terms of time, is another issue, when will you do it, you to host 3 of them , and the viewers have to be able to wacht it , and what if the majority of viewers goes to another one

just a lot of issue's, that would make it impossible

Tentacle LoveOct 30, 20164 votes

SSG should get some sort of award just for that game 3 performance. That was spectacular.

CarameI FrappeOct 30, 20164 votes

"Do you believe?"

My god the comebacks SSG was doing, working harder than anyone would of expected and actually forcing SKT into a 5 match round up. Even nearly going 70+ minutes with them in one of the closest matches ever in Worlds.

I salute both teams with a passion.

Great FoxOct 31, 20164 votes

I'm personally just bored of SKT always winning.

AbandonOct 31, 20162 votes

Fking same dude, but sigh SKT just play better than other teams and for the most part, they deserve to win. STILL THOUGH, PLEASE WE NEED SOMEONE TO CHALLENGE THEIR THRONE AND END THEIR REIGN.

Nr 903Oct 30, 20162 votes

I mean SKT stomped them and SSG stomped SKT, but I feel like Faker threw third game too much for SKT. He simply ignored baron fights and showed up too late. One fight, that SKT was winning and would've won, if Faker hadn't turned around and went back to push another minion wave. He played sort of like a little p*ssy. Hiding behind walls, completely out of range. Then ended up either ulting only a tank and instantly dead.

I seriously feel that if Faker had been with team more often, had had more balls or at least some front-line had taken Ori shield+ball and even flashed into enemy team, they could've aced SSG and ended the worlds with 3-0. But I guess Faker got tilted, because game was easy early, but was delayed to late.

Brain Errör 404Oct 30, 20167 votes

Dude, you gotta understand. It may not be a physical sport, but it was 3-4+ hours a day playing league competitions with little breaks in between. This being the last series for world, tacked onto the pressure of performing in front of such a large audience and going on for as long as it did, players were exhausted and not at their mental peaks. I understand your concern, but they did what they could at little less than peak conditions.

Nr 903Oct 31, 20161 votes

Dude, if you even watched how Faker played, you could see that he was tilted and throwing. SKT had third game's early game in the bag and they were slowly just throwing and both team delaying. Faker even said after 5th game that he got tilted at third and 4th game but managed to calm down got 5th. He just wasn't there in crucial baron fights. He went to push out top lane 2-3 times and every time his team lost the fight and had to back.

Also Nami did a perfect 4 man bubble at baron, but Faker was yet again farming at top lane. If he had been with team, it would've been perfect 4 man ult, 4 dead enemies and game in the bag.

SpecterVonBarenOct 30, 20161 votes

They came closer to beating SKT than any other team before them.
