The FNC vs IG finals game...
The difference is super suspect between the two teams - How do does a team that does so well get roflstomped so badly?

Because ADCs are practically worthless unless your team is already winning.. and FNC has shit solo laners compared to IG.
Not saying Caps/Bwipo are shit...
HOWEVER If Caps is an 8.5/10 Rookie is a 9.5/10 (Mind you he made some call I as a silver player would know better than to make first game.)
If Bwipo is a 9/10 then Theshy is an 11/10.
Also putting Rekkles on Jhin/Ez (two champs that can't hypercarry) ... is pretty terrible drafting knowing you are going to lose Top/Mid.

It reeks of a fixed game unfortunately. A team which has made it THIS FAR should never get THIS badly stomped... Intentional misplays and failures on FNCs part are also suspect.

I expect them to try at least. Korea vs Korea is more interesting than this NA soloqueue level stomp.

The entire game has devolved into who can dive the other team hardest. 10 minutes in then group as 5 until gg.
It's boring to watch and terrible to play.

Yea I refuse to believe "best team in the west" would have a mid laner that would fall for a tp on his face. It's fuckin worlds finals, not solo queue. If "the best mid laner in this tournament" who can't beat you 1v1 teleports on your face, you know there's a reason for it.
IG has better solo laner and jungle presence the whole time.
TheShy was the best top at worlds, and Rookie was arguably the best mid. Ning showed super hard too.
Honestly FNC just totally disrespected IG and got shafted for it.
Well if it was fixed they would have made it more exciting, at least, it was anti climatic.
Caps is 7/10 he eliminated fnatic even last year with malzahar fails. And Bwipo plays like 11/10 or 7/10 even in solo queue he plays like that, so yeah his 9 is good xd
Caps is a D2 player currently, the reason why he is so successful is cause he knows how to play with his team, but his solo skill is not that great imo.
A lot of pro players demote out of challenger when there's a series (or whatever it's called) going on
Better drafting, better players and better team won the match
yeah it was total outplay and Fnatic showed disrespect by picking an all AD team in first game thinking they can just stomp the best team in the world that way....
It is the 50/50 meta. Game rewards risky plays and snowball out of control out of them. People forgot about it because the semi-finals went as expected but every single week up until then was filled with very volatile games where even the best teams in the world were getting stomped. c9 went from 3-2 against gambit to 3-0 against afreeca. G2 likewise dropped games to wildcard teams and then took a best of 5 against RNG. Don't try to read too much into the results of any single series in this meta.
FNC took full AD team in their first game.
You didn't get the memo? According to boards, a full AD team will guarantee you a win, while teams using AP champions are in disadvantage by default.
I'm done with LoL esport. It was stupid to believe. If this year Invictus that loses in groups manages to stomp 3-0 eu teams then it means europeans are simply retards and its no use to watch. I get you lose, but 6-0 is pathetic.
It seems koreans win every time. I'm done, is to boring and predictable, and the meta unbalanced as f

IG is chinese, not korean. Same diff i suppose, but this series was just... so boring.
IG was purposefully feeding FNC kills, and FNC still played so ridiculously passive; Something that they havent done in worlds before.
Their best players are koreans.
And i get IG won, but they are not that good for a 6-0 finals+semi. Its like EU teams simply stop functioning
Boring games
While I'm a fan of FNC Jungler , but IG jungler played better FNC were playing safe for no reason while IG were YOLO

To be honest yeah , FNC were playing ina boring way tho , And Rekkles picked Ezreal which isn't a carry champion in the first place
It was like FNC just came to loose. I was so hyped for this match, waiting all week, getting up early on the weekend just to support them and they just played BAD. Bwipo inting, getting killed 5 times to the same gank over and over, like my gold soloQ top laner, who refuses to use wards and plays next to the enemy turret with 0 vision. Broxah under performing AF, not contesting Ming at all, 0 objective control and contest. Caps is by far the guy i am the most disappointed in, i really thought he could hold his own vs rookie, not that he can beat him in a 1v1, but at least come out even or as less behind as he could, like he did in the group stage games vs them. Reckless is Reckless, for a few years now i just see him getting outclassed on every international tourney, that cocky mofo, who can't git gud, all i am saying is that i didn't expected him to be the catalyst of a hypothetical FNC win. And Hyli is Hyli, he can't do jack as support when his whole team is garbage. I am least disappointed in him. Honorable mentions goes to SoaZ, who got subbed in the last game and actually played good, altho he hasn't player almost all tourney. What a legend, but it was little bit, too late. Fuck watching LCS, worlds anymore, the %%%%%%%%%%%s win everything, its getting boring and repetitive, i'll just have to accept that the west is subpar when it comes to gaming. This is my salt on the matter, i wish everyone a good and happy life.
They outbanned Rekkles and thanks to solid analysation of player behavoirs, like how aggresive and easy to trigger Caps is and how carefree Bwipo will push in toplane without actually having the vision he should have, they managed to snowball off mid in the first game and of top in the 2nd game without Rekkles being able to win botlane with his Tier 2 picks
simple. Rekkles is the most overhyped terrible player I have ever seen. He has no champion pool and has never had one yet so many people keep saying how great he is. When Rekkles actually gets a champion pool that is beyond 3-4 champions he will actually be something of note. Then you have Bwipo who got completely outclassed by TheShy and Caps that is such a coinflip type of player that he can either be the best player ever or the easiest player to exploit in the world. Then you take into consideration that Ning actually performed well against Broxah and what you have is pretty much a much improved IG vs a FNC that really didn't seem all that different from their group stage performances. How did you expect FNC to do against well against IG when they were struggling against EDG in quarters and didn't seems all that much better coming into the finals?
How many successful ganos did IG have compared to fanatic ? Jungle pressure was so constant for IG
Essentially FNatic and IG played the game in a similar fashion, but IG did it ~5% better. And since it was the same gameplan, but executed better, there was no way for FNatic to ever make their way in. That leads to situations that feel super one-sided.
