Who do you think the best team ever was... whether they're active or broken up... so season 4 SSW, C9 pre-collapsed lung, Season 2 TPA, etc?
personally I would say season 4 Samsung white though.
Edit: seems like the general consensus is SSW and SKT 1K... but keep'em coming :P
PoisonedTea2 votesSeason 2 TPA in a historical way. They took the world by storm. Season 3 SKT a close second.
It you do it in a factual way SSW, they were not as dominate comparatively but what they were is likely reaching the peck of what you can do in LoL at that time.
ZeroAnarchy2 votesTPA aren't even close to being one of the best teams of all time. I can name other teams that had way more accomplishments such as Frost, M5, CLG.eu. All TPA did was win worlds. SSW and SKT were the best teams ever in terms of accomplishments and complete dominance during their prime.

The Bíg Ticket1 votesS2 Moscow 5 rocked like all tournaments...They were clear favorite for worlds back then.

ur fired1 votesDefinitely SKTT1K from s3 worlds to their undefeated OGN season
Smart Kitty1 votesBest team skillwise SSW. Best personality wise CLG.EU.
ajwf1 votesSeason 3 SKT from the last OGN split through Worlds through their first OGN split Season 4 where they became the first (and currently only team ever) to go undefeated in a split. Not even Season 4 World champs Samsung Galaxy White took a game off them that split. Yes, it was mainly Faker transcending the game at that point in time but they were undeniably the best in the world and sustained it longer than any of the teams mentioned above. IIRC TPA were underdogs so their 'reign' was just at worlds. C9... never proved themselves. They were like CLG: All potential. Unlike CLG, they would win some important matches even post-surgery.
Lastly, while SSW could've BEEN the best team ever, they really were more best team patch and didn't stay long to prove themselves. I like to point to the fact that earlier in the year, they couldn't grab a game from SKT when later in the year, the team's flaws would show through so badly.

The reason I say TPA historically. Is because it was also the first time the region could even be in world just like china and Korea. At the time TPA dominated the region the same way then dominated worlds(like an NA C9 record). It is no doubt that SKT and SSW are better teams. But at that time they were undisputed the best team to play in the world.
