Be better than them at what they do.
MSF had the right idea. Don't play into their meta, cause they're going to just chew you up and spit you out if you're only game plan is try to best them at their own game. It's important to remember that the current meta of the game is basically just the Korean meta because NA (and most regions) just copy everything KR does. There are other ways to win, and when MSF pulled out their own playbook things got close and SKT looked mortal all of a sudden. So yeah, not trying to best them at their own game is the best strategy, but that doesn't change the fact that they're still very good and can adapt well.
Flash Mastery icon as often as possible to make them tilt.
RIOT has been try to figure this out for 3 years now to no avail. Just be done with the region. They make the game predictable, boring, and unexciting.
Win the 50/50 smite at elder drake with 3 infernals under your belt.
They had game 4 in the bag, but tried to overzealously dive skt
I'm pretty sure LS already summed it up in the video he did with thorin. Basically, western players focus so heavily on their role (to the point of willingly bitching about autofill/not getting it) that they only understand that one thing and not all of the roles. Koreans apparently embrace autofill, as while they all typically have "main roles" the ability to autofill allows them to better grasp how each role/character matchup works. If western players really want to get close to korea's level of talent, they should start by trying to become jacks of all trades instead of masters of none.
Don't play into Korean meta. Develop your own play style and remain cool. MSF actually had quite a good chance of winning the game. Their Blitz and Leona pick was amazing, and they have quite a good chance of winning in game 4 too. The problem is team gets too hyped when they feel they are going to beat SKT and that's where they begin to make mistakes, like SKT's 2 reverse sweeps against EDG, or the turret dive with minions miles away in MSF's game 4. SKT is just another team. No need to pay them too much respect. Play what you are good at and keep to it.
