SKT vs OG/FNC/KOO

Hardstuck G4·Oct 20, 2015·3 votes·2,207 views

So, as we all know, OG pushed FNC to 5 games during the finals. During MSI, FNC pushed SKT to 5 games. It's obvious that all 3 teams have improved (I want to see an OG vs FNC rematch :3). But, say SKT sweeps OG 3-0. Then does FNC really have a chance? Maybe they'd end 3-1 in favor of SKT. Now, KOO has proven that they are NOT on SKT's level during the finals. So, my theory is that if SKT 3-0's/3-1's OG, they're going to take worlds 100%. But if OG takes them to 5 games, then maybe FNC/KOO could have a chance.

The theory of triangulation does not work, because every match-up have their peculiar things SKT could be pushed to 5 games by OG and then manage to sweep FNC or Koo or the other way around, just because they can have different strengths and weaknesses vs OG rather than vs FNC rather than vs Koo

Example: Even before Roccat was picking up steam at the end of the summer split thanks to the addition of MrRallez at ADC for Woolite and Yamato work finally paying off, and they were at the bottom of EU LCS standings, they proved to be a bad match-up for Origen, beating them in week 3 of EU LCS when OG was 5-0 and ROC was 1-4 (having beaten only Gambit roster that did not train together before the summer split), and then Roccat went 0-2 also in the subsequent week losing to SK and struggling Elements, Elements against which they went 0-2 for the season, while OG beat 2-0 Elements in the season

This is true. I was thinking you would make more of an example of the C9/CLG/TSM triangle. Oh well

Well, Roccat came to my mind because their situation pertained to OG that was talked about in this thread

LCS maths doesn't work aswell as other things just because OG pushed FNC to 5 games and FNC pushed SKT to 5 games doesn't mean OG can do it

I know, but I'm looking at how much they've improved. I WANT SKT to take the whole thing, and I'm just looking at the odds they have. Honestly, I think OG has improved a lot more than FNC has. And SKT is definitely not the same team from MSI. I was just thinking

nobody has a chance against SKT but OG will get one map win and fnc will go down 3:0

I think FNC will at least take 1 game off SKT, if they win. Not so sure about KOO though. So, yeah, FNC vs SKT for finals please

I'm hoping KOO at least puts up a fight.

only in game 1. after that they realize they have no chance and it snowballs

I just hope to see some hidden aces and not the common picks, I want to see some risks taken in banning phase and the best each team can offer.

I just don't to see 3-4 other Orianna mid xD ANd I hope they stop with Kennen too, not a reason for this outside the fact that I hate him.

I thought the quarterfinals were a massive disappointment, with EDG barely even bothering to show up.

I still have Fantatic beating KOO but it's hard for me to see anyone beating SKT. When Faker is arguably their WORST performer, it's NOT likely to be a great matchup.
