OGN 2015 Preseason

[quote=I want to be a Blitzball]Seeing as no one has mentioned Ogn so far, I thought I would see if anyone finds it as interesting as I do. IEM San Jose was good, OGN is better. With Samsung gone I think OGN has become far more competitive. SKT and Najin are looking so good, while we saw some surprises like KT actually splitting with SKT. Then we got Samsung who surprisingly tied with KT. Anyone as interested in the OGN Preseason as I am?[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark]I don't think Faker's lost a single game in preseason lol. All SKT's losses have been with Easyhoon from what I've seen. SKT's current roster with Bang + Wolf and Marin is looking so much stronger than their season 4 team, I really hope they can become the only team in the world to win 2 world championships this season.[/quote]

[quote=I want to be a Blitzball]Faker is still a god, so no doubt he can carry entire games. SKT will most likely win but I still think they are beatable. Now with only Marin, 2 great supports and a jungler who makes a comeback I Think that Faker finally has a team that he can carry. Now Samsung. I think they were the biggest underdogs during the Preseason. For a team that is completely unknown they overperformed. KT has done well,not great but still. And then Najin. If they stop using Zefa and keep OHQ and Cain I think Najin can easily take second and maybe on their best day beat SKT.[/quote]

But with all the korean transfers to China, /shrug. The trash talk of imp being nothing without mata seems a bit over done but I don't think he'll perform as well as he did on SSW. but that's LPL talk as of now so who cares... at least on this thread. I can't wait to see faker's Orianna/Lissandra mechanics again, also the newly presented azir.[/quote]

[quote=Cooper112]SKT1 should do well i watched most of preseason and they look really good. Problem is now they lost Impact i found him really solid and always has been. Impact and faker were always the solid even when skt1 was weaker. Have they announced replacement?[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark]Not officially, but it's pretty obvious. Marin's been a fucking beast all preseason, he's really stepped up since joining K. The starter position was between Marin and Impact, and it was obvious SKT was gonna take Marin, and that's why Impact resigned. It doesn't really make a difference, Marin was gonna be their new top laner anyway, and I think everyone agrees he's the stronger choice.[/quote]

[quote=I want to be a Blitzball]Marin was always considered good, actually being a lot like Faker. Amazing solo queue player, but instead of mid he's a great top. Again, I'm still rooting for Najin. Ggoong is a god and OHQ, Watch, Duke and Cain are far from bad. I think Duke and Watch are really good, while OHQ is just an amazing mechanical player and Cain is a veteran support. Besides SKT and Najin, it will be a close race between KT, Samsung and Huya.[/quote]

Ever since he's been on K, where he has Faker to relieve pressure from top lane, he's been performing to the standards everyone expected from him when he joined S. So it's only now that people are starting to think he's a god, at least competitively. Also, fun fact: the top 3 spots in Korean solo Q right now are Marin, Faker and Bang; SKT's top laner, mid laner and ADC respectively.[/quote]

[quote=I want to be a Blitzball]With only one more IEM to go before the IEM World Championship, which korean team will be sent there? Last time they sent KT B. Will they go with SKT or will they send say Samsung and let a non top-3 team destroy everyone else (again)?[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark]I was actually wondering about that earlier. How is it decided which Korean team goes to IEM? Well anyway I hope SKT goes and clean sweeps it. :3[/quote]
