ROX Made Me a Fan

I have been a SKT fan since I started, originally because they played champions I liked but then it stuck. Don't get me wrong, I love the NA teams, good ol TSM, C9, CLG, ect. Originally I didn't want ROX to make it, but every game they played they seemed in a good mood even when getting stomped early game. Honestly they just seemed cheerful about everything, Peanut literally did nothing but laugh the entire time. I kinda wished it was the finals, so ROX would get some credit for their performance, and it would be more epic, and while I was rooting for SKT, I felt kinda bad doing it. I really, really hope they don't split up and go off in every direction like many Korean teams do. They seem like the team with the least possible amount of negativity, cheerful as hell. Hopefully they don't end up splitting, so we get more of their silly MF Ashe shenanigans in S7.

Fingers crossed, off to go offer a prayer for poor H2K....

I just got into League this year and Esports when Quarter finals began and I have to say that ROX is now my favorite team. The way they play and still have fun in a Worlds match when we have people getting mad that someone took 1 cs in normals is amazing! I really hope they can win Finals next year.

After they lost their gimmick, they needed a hard initiator from either top or jungle (maybe mid lissandra) because SKT was finally able to start dodging those Ashe arrows. IMO they were relying on Ashe too much in game 4 (needed help by then) and in game 5, they just had nothing to start a fight with.

Poppy getting fed in game 5 really doomed them though. It was too easy for her to eat all of ROX's poke.

This is what I felt too after watching Rox play in the semi. They are just having fun, especially Peanut (just look at him when he FB Bengi in game 5). SKT on the other hand seems like robots, Faker and Wolf show close to no emotion and it's pretty dull.

This is one of the main reason I am pretty tired of SKT tbh. How many championship must they won before they retire? They don't even seem to enjoy playing the game.
