CLG proved that NA is no longer inferior to the other regions. We're actually a threat now. We can compete internationally. We can WIN internationally.
I think that's something we oughta be proud of.
Demonicous3 votesCLG played like NA's spirit. Reckless and exciting. Sorry but I watch some of the other regions games and they are very boring because they are so methodical. Only one region plays as reckless as NA and that is EU.
However we do see that the fact of the matter is that this game is not KDA oriented but objective primary. CLG arguably won more teamfights mostly because they kept catching Duke tripping too far in lane. When CLG loses one man they back off. When SKT loses one man they go on about their business. That got Faker killed a number of times. However that methodical farming slow approach wins in the late game as we see in this series.
Early game SKT is stronger, MID game CLG takes it, and late game SKT trumps all. Bottom line both teams need to find new top laners. Duke is too cocky and that get him killed and Darshan is dead weight at least on Poppy.
I like watching EU and NA games because they are exciting. The last time the far East regions had an exciting and reckless team was OMG, and look where they are now. The once thought to be unbeatable were destroyed by slow methodical gameplay.
Randomonium3 votesFor the life of me I can't understand why they keep putting Darshan on Poppy. It seems like he gets his ass handed to him every time he plays that champion.
Demonicous1 votesHe needs to learn Trundle, Darius, Irelia or even Gnar because he has decent positioning awareness when going in for wall stuns. Even after the rework Poppy to me seems bleh.
But this man has no sense of time over distance. He cant tell he is pushed up too far to recall or run away in time.

LPL has a heavy brawling style, that at many times is also reckless, especially if LGD plays.
Demonicous1 votesI wish I had access to watch the LPL teams.
The Deckowner1 votesWhile G2 shows that EU fucked up.
Apostle of Light1 votesLol yes indeed I bet EU feels pretty bad about themselves.
The Deckowner1 voteseven in the games G2 won in EU they didn't look good. their game was messy and their players were super cocky. i guess FNC without yellowstar and OG with Xpeke benched really isn't the same anymore.
MunchCrunchLunch1 votesthey chocked in the finals which is expected but otherwise put up a great tournament
