That poor guy has worked his ass off to get all the way to the finals TWICE. This time with a language barrier which is incredible in its own right. He hasn't gotten to touch that cup even once. I hope he gets to hold it once behind the scenes, because my god, that guy has EARNED it.
The Archítect8 votesI was really voting for Star Horn Royal, because I really wanted to see Uzi hold that cup up. Don't get me wrong I think Samsung White has defentely deserved their win, but to be so close and still fall short has got to be devastating.
Mediocre Joe8 votesOne thing I want to say is that coming into world's many analysts were saying that group B was the weaker of all the groups. but the 2 Teams to come out of group B were the only 2 teams to take a game off white which says something.

This is a really good point. although at the same time, white only played tsm, royal and blue after group stage. wasnt expecting them to really lose a game in their own group, except maybe EDG, but they ended up to be kinda disapointing for the hype around them, and being #1 of china.

agreed Namei was really overhyped he might be a good adc in their region but not against other regions. But he is like dade in the case that no matter how terrible he plays people will just say "he is just having a bad game/tournament". they won't ever accept the fact that he might not be as good as you think he is.
ZeroAnarchy7 votesHonestly I feel bad more for TSM. They've been to every world's and weren't able to win a single one.
gubigubi1 votesOr really even come close lol
MrBuffington1 votesIsn't it just Dyrus?
Arcus Diabolus6 votesInSec's panth ults ruined game 4. Dandy just read him like a book and Uzi had to pay for it.
MrBuffington3 votesAlways a bridesmaid :3
SlackerboyTC2 voteshes a good player no doubt but if only he and his team could win
gubigubi2 votes250k prize for his team 2 years in a row is more than any other team can say for themselves. Even though they lost I would still be feeling pretty good about 2nd place on the entire earth 2 years in a row.
Brother Cloud1 votes3 years no
Morgana Senpai2 votesI really do feel bad for Uzi, and it was more than acknowledged that he carries his team. He is often the only reason they win. They have to build their entire comp around him. It's more of a game of hey let's not lose our lanes too badly and hope Uzi can pick up our slack. I feel bad for Uzi because he is on a completely higher level than the team he played with.
The 2 best people on Royal Club were "Uzi & Insec"
Every ban phase Insec and Uzi were shutdown from getting their usual champions. Mostly Insec was shut down which led to him being forced to play on champions he isn't as strong on- Ex mediocre Rammus/ Panth performance.
I think if there is anything to take away from this is:
Insec needs to expand his champion pool. Without his lee sin/ or rengar he is an easy jungler to deal with. Samsung White just shut Insec down before they started each game with banning his comfortable champions. He needs to find more champions he can bring that legendary level of play on. If he does that his opponents can't bank of bans to keep him down. And I am sure he will bring some real threats to the competition
And honestly I wish Uzi all the best and luck in the world but really hope he finds a team that is more on his level of play.
This may be a dramatic example but when I watch Uzi's games they strike me as a challenger ranked ADC being put on a mid gold level team, and thrown up against all diamonds. You may be individually amazing and better skilled than both teams, however you can only do so much to carry your team when they are so obviously mismatched. This wasn't a case of Uzi not performing well, it was a case of every member of his team lost, and there isn't a way to easily rise above that and carry against that type of situation.
Wish you the best Uzi, & Insec hope to see you pull a world win next year
but for now
Congrats SSW

I was actually quite impressed with Insec's Rammus. His Kha'Zix and Pantheon performance was meh imo. Taking away his Lee Sin was devastating.
Boomerang692 votesStar horn must have seen TSM get smashed by the rengar ori combo. They got smashed by it. G G
ps: uzi is probably loving life and making more money than most of us. I do not feel bad at all lmao. that hard working lucky son of a mother
FluxBound1 votesbut he can't get any asian honeys
dialMARK4acti0n2 votesSHR isn't the team for Uzi... I'm sorry but I believe it's true. I love inSec andd Cola does a good job in the toplane, but Uzi needs to be with another team... YET AGAIN... Maybe next year Uzi... maybe next year.
NeroUS2 votesIt's a bad sign that they built two separate teams around Uzi; I wonder why none of the other SHRC players were considered good enough to play on the team during this season. Perhaps, Uzi is not a nice player to have on your team and no one gets along with him?
Pixel Zed2 votesHonestly, with the entire team being focused around one tubby guy, I'm not surprised they lost. It was selfish of him to try to think he could pull an entire team and carry them all the way to winning. He wasn't an amazing ADC, by any standards. I mean, many of the announcers and guests at the world tournament final pretty much counted them off from the beginning.
Yandere Carry1 votesthey counted the team off. they all acknowledged uzi was and is the best adc in the world by a decent margin.
I Had One Beer2 votesno, he played tristana
AbodyHUN6661 votesI really hope they would win this time, they would have deserved it the second try.
Earl Eulrich1 votesI would have said they would have deserved it the 1st time...in S3 they played a lot better than SKT up untill the finals - and then just tilted all 3games long for no reason sadly. This time SSW just had been the waaaay better team and really deserved the cup.
soulbanana81 votes3rd time's the charm, hopefully :)

deathfrost131 votesWell as long as Korea plays in the finals i doubt they will ever win Worlds. Korea just outclasses all other regions so badly. The first 2 games SSW just completely slaps them around and makes them look like a bronze V team, and the only reason SHC won game 3 was because SSW was messing around and then when SSW played serious again they got wrecked.

SSB was much closer in terms of skill to the rest of the competition, and NWS was actually not that amazing. SSW was really heads and shoulders above every other team. It's not korean teams as a whole who massively dominated, just SSW.
And while I'd agree SSW messed around with TSM, I disagree with SHRC. Their picks were consistent through the series, they might just have let their guards down a little bit too much and Royal Club took advantage of it.
Yandere Carry3 votesPeople saying "were just messing around" Are the casual's equivalent of Monte. Their too busy riding the Koreans donger to acknowledge anything from other regions. These people are probably the same ones that said "TSM won't win a game in groups" -Wins game "They won't beat a chinese team" -Beats Royal club "Won't make it out of groups" -Makes it out of groups "will never win a game against a korean team" -Wins a game vs SSW "oh they weren't really trying though!"
... It's idiotic. Am I saying they are the same caliber as SSW? Not even... But the amount of blind hate all these people have for non-korean teams in general is fucking ridiculous.
Starkiller X511 votesthe thing is though is that as hard as hes tried and worked to come the fact of the matter is hes been completely stomped twice in a row now; but, at least they actually took a game this time
Trick1F1 votesWithout Dandy coming down, Uzi and Zero actually outperformed Imp and Mata in lane. But every other lane (and the jungle) was dominantly in White's favor.
EllyParis1 votesI agree, I feel so bad for Uzi, he is so good and carried his team to the finals. I don't think he had any help really, personally I don't see why it is said InSec is really good and I do see why he was released by his last team...they were kinda polar opposites where Uzi had to carry his entire team and the Samsung White guys just had to carry Imp. Dandy's performance in that series was amazing too, he was everywhere he needed to be everytime

Dandys performance is pretty much unparalleled in worlds this year. I have not checked if there is an mvp award for worlds but, by far, he should be the one to get it.
ZeroAnarchy1 votesMata got the MVP in worlds.
FreakyPvP1 votesDude when you think about it he is so spoiled. He kicked his entire team off and added new ones. I bet he is gonna do it again. He also wouldnt move from his chair after they lost game 4 to whoever that was. That is just my opinion.
Colonel J1 votesFuck Uzi. They're a scrub.
d3r3k1 votesWhy? He has made it to the WORLD'S FINALS TWICE! Yes, he is very good- but hell, that doesn't mean he DESERVES a world championship. In truth, he has accomplished more than 90% of LoL players ever will.
