In LCK when they do BO5 match 5 is blind pick so there are no bans and a mirror match is possible. Why don't they do this in NA, EU, and LPL?

Because Blind PIck is retarded whether it be SoloQ or LCS: No counterplay... and just players "on their best". Could SKT ACTUALLY WIN something if Faker wouldn't be able to spam Leblanc on Game 5 and GG?

Furthermore if champion is used 2x does mess up any "lore" aspects of the game. And it is just retarded idea in the first place.

Also #1 reason that; in a close matchup, Korean teams will lose to NA/EU teams because they can't just "drain out the clock and wait for game 5 PUNISHMENT TIME". They ACTUALLY have to play out ALL FIVE GAMES! O NO THE WORLD IS ENDINGZ!

Probably because the classic tournaments don't make a difference for game5. Because it woulld in theory "disturb the playing field" and everything. Game5 is just game5, it's the same game and the game is played in draft. I don't know where they got the idea from, but I'm pretty sure they did this independantly.

That being said, I actually really like that idea, games usually last 1h each (counting everything around them) and I have no idea how someone can stand watching 5 hours of the same players/strategy/picks. After max 3 games, the matches starts to blurr and quit making sense to me. I'm curious to see if anyone knows something I don't about this.
