Only the best deserves to win. The fact that you're asking a team to go "easy" on the other teams shows that you don't care about seeing good gameplay and only want your favorite teams to win. If these other teams want to win, they need to step up their game. Korea does NOT have to provide ANY handicap for the other regions. If you really care about these other teams, then instead of whining, invest your time and money into helping these teams become better. /end rant

Well I mean maybe if these teams stopped going to these Korean bootcamps to try unsuccessfully to copy KOREAN strategies and actually come up with something unique to their own team or region maybe there would be a better chance of them winning.

True facts.

Personal conspiracy theory: Korea fully supports their esports team and well, esports as a whole. EU and NA "support" it like via fans and us players and teams, but look at the support for say LCS vs any "Jock" sport game. Baseball, basketball, oh man waaayyy too many football examples. I just think Korea's embrace of esports athletes as REAL athletes and treating them as such helps, whteher it's via finances or support or training or whatever. So they just get to perform better. Again just a theory, stemming mainly from the fact people mock how i can sit and watch Worlds matches in my TSM gear all day, but they all gather for the superbowl in full body paint and fail to see the irony.....

It is boring to watch SKT continually win. Why bother watching when I can bet on SKT and go on with my day. I want SKT to be crushed. I don't care who wins, I only care SKT loses. No more SKT skins, no more Faker worship.

I personally root for the best. I'm one of those bandwagon fans who is more loyal to players than teams in every sport except football. I love watching SKT play their game. As far as league of legends play goes, theirs is beautiful to watch. NA and EU win in just about every other sport so who really cares if they have esports. They've earned it the same way the US owns basketball and football, Canadians/Russians own hockey, Brazil/EU with soccer. Different regions worship different activities. It's just how it is. No reason to get upset. No one asks dominant countries to handicap their athletes in the olympics. No one asked Bolt to run on one leg

I've always been cheering for SKT~ they're amazing, really. When they win it's not boring for me, they deserve it with their amazing play.

Yeah, it makes 0 sense to lose on purpose for other teams. If you want to beat me or my team YOU put in the work, YOU put in the time, YOU "get gud and carry". There might be an excuse for god given talent, but no excuses on improving.

I do agree that watching SKT win time and time again is boring af, but it is a competition and they're the best, they deserve to win. Their culture is just a better gaming culture than ours.

I also think it's boring that they are winning, and I do know that NA and EU are garbage, but still would rather watch them. It's entertaining to watch 2 garbage team fighting each other than the top team fighting the garbage team.

I'm fine with SKT winning again, I'm not fine with another bunch of skins with their horrible color scheme on them.
