Was it truly that C9 won or was it that FW lost?

In my opinion C9 played very poorly and was heavily outmaneuvered the entire game.

The real problem was that FW didn't seal the deal when they had multiple chances to do so; I am but a humble Diamond Pride player but when I saw Flash Wolves make a pick near the enemy base, which had three inhibs down, and everyone on FW team had Nashor and Elder Dragon buff up.... I thought "Yep, that's game" but then they just ...... didn't.

I mean what? I know that playing cautiously is INCREDIBLY important in a high level game (Worlds) but I honestly saw them have multiple chances of finishing the match but just ..... not. It "Feels" like FW lost, not that C9 won. C9 didn't pull off a miraculous play that recovered them the game, it was just that FW played so scared the whole game that their failure to capitalize on their advantage ultimately led to their defeat.

I was rooting for C9 but it doesn't feel like they earned that win. With 100% respect to the amazing team of sneaky, meteos, etc..... in my opinion they played like crap and deserved to lose but won because the enemy team played worse which I guess is what really matters.

I felt the same, especially when flash wolves had those 3 inhibs down. I thought after all that slow play, they finally had it, but they didn't go for it. Then they let meteos get tanky enough where he could finally initiate fights, and end game.

FW got a lead, C9 buckled down and waited for them to make a mistake. Eventually they did and C9 won. That's the story of pretty much every comeback ever.

Poke comps can literally lose when up a member against wombo comps at 50+ minutes. A kennen ult doesn't care how many team members to back it up there are if ori pulls them all in onto him. All 5 will die. See smebs play. The safe play was warrented. Itemization on the support for ZZrot/Banner would have gone a long way to making that end.

There was so little they could do because they missed the bus to win the game.

Meteos needs to step up and seriously stop with the lee sin. If this is his play with Lee sin then he needs to practice way more but this is the world and every sec and mistake is win or lose situation. I kept on seeing C9 team getting gank non stop from the enemy jungler while Meteos walk back and forth just farming because he can't keep up with the enemy with lee( Really need to practice lee skill shot).

I don't like to use the work lucky when C9 did win but dear hell C9 were lucky Maple got caught with that lee ult. Right now it's impact and Jensen carrying so I hope Meteos can just camp for Jensen because Sneaky and smooth can't follow up well unless Jensen is with them.
