I wish Ziggs was enabled. Because we all know what that would mean. Also, I'm so happy that they keep fielding Easyhoon. It keeps giving Origen fans false hope that Origen can win until Easyhoon turns on. THat Azir ban though, proves xPeke isn't a very good Azir.

Seems like SKT don't even need Faker to win against Origen..
And I find Origen was the 2nd strongest team at worlds.

Origen 2nd strongest? Give me whatever gives you those dreams. I expected Origen to be bottom eight somewhere. They got out of groups because LGD underperformed. They got the easiest draw and that match wasn't even about who was better, but more about who didn't screw up.

Lol, Origen gets beaten by Fnatic in best of 5 for LCS playoffs and you're saying they're 2nd strongest in the world? That's like the most insane logic I've ever heard.

They also got the easiest quarterfinals matchup, so they don't actually necessarily deserve their semi-final spot, lol. Of the current top 8, they're probably actually third weakest, possibly 4th weakest at best since EDG's 0-3 loss to Fnatic.

This made me realise how easy SKT had their ride to the finals. No wonder they didn't even lose a single match.

I think they got the harder quarterfinal matchup. Origen wasn't that strong, as proven today. KOO would have lost as well, considering their record. And they couldn't have faced EDG, so I think they got the hardest draw for the quarterfinal. Their group was on paper difficult with EDG, but they underperformed heavily (like China did as a whole). None of the 2nd seed teams would have made a difference, and I don't think FW or KT really would have done much better. Which only leaves Fnatic as possible challenger.

Losing 3-0 to SKT doesn't prove that you're not strong though. They were the first team to take a second turret from them, and they almost took an inhibitor.

SKT also already won 2-0 against EDG, so they got that matchup sorted out. I guess China underperforming and having the rest of the korean teams placed on the other bracket is the reason why they seem to be so uncontested.

I really hope Fnatic gets to the finals and takes at least one game from them. We would also be getting a nice OG vs KOO 3rd place match, and possibly 2 non-korean teams in the top 3.

SKT already proved in the summer split that they're on a whole other level compared to the other Korean teams though. Only team they haven't proven themselves against at this point is Fnatic, but it seems likely that they'll remain to appear uncontested even against them.
